Toomer Cut by Chiefs

Best Fan Post Ever, am I right?!

Seriously though – are we wanting to reconsider? I’m guessing most likely not, especially given the nonsense from Osi yesterday, and that Amani should have other opportunities, but it does seem awfully early for them to cut him. I wonder what went wrong for him over there, if he’s lost a step or had a bad relationship with the coaches or what.

There are no ex-Giants…

he seemed unhappy when he left. i don’t think there’s a chance for his return.

and cut Toom.

So why would we bring him back? (this is to anyone that wants him back)

He’s as slow as molasses now too.

I loved Toom when he was here. I really hope he understands now the reason the Giants didn’t bring him back…..cuz the Chiefs didn’t want him either.

But I feel ashamed about this

Somehow I don’t think this is the end we imagined for the G.O.A.T.

A class act. A great Giant! Once he is officially retired (this year or next…) I hope we the fans can give him a correct send off! He has been a quality
guy.

Re-signing Toomer totally contradicts the idea that the Giants coaching staff believes in and is going to stick with this young receiving core. Re-signing Toomer would be a slap in the face to these guys because it says “we need someone who has at least proven they can catch a ball”.

We need to stick with this young receiving core of:

Nicks
Smith
Hixon
Manningham
Barden
Hagan

There is a lot of raw talent here. If we get these guys on the same page we can do a lot of good things. I personally think everybody will be in full stride by early to mid-season. There is youth, height, and speed amongst this group.

Even though the preseason has not been going too well for this core I am still very excited about them.

I was watching a tv show on top receivers in the NFL history. With Jerry Rice he had a big issue early (very) in his career holding onto the ball. He then got over it. We have very solid young core that I also feel will get over it…in my opinion just thinking/trying too hard. We may have to be patient for a bit.
As for Toomer…wouldn’t be great to see him as a part of the Giants again in near future i.e. coach. I think he has those type skills (communication, knowledge, credibility,professionalism…stuff we have all seen) Just my wish…

for the opener

the idea of having an Amami Toomer day and retire his #81 before Giants Stadium closes?
He does have the most catches all time for the Giants.

Now Toomer is a guy that could pass on some knowledge to the young WR corps. (Unlike the crazy talk about Marvin Harrison filling that role). Let him retire a Giant if he can’t find work and hire him as an advisor or something. Some retired Giants deserve to walk the sideline on gameday. Ahh, I can still visualize his 4th quater catch down the sideline last year against Cincy. That. was. glorious.

We can’t count the number of times Toomer took our breath away. I think he will be remembered best for his rubber ankles. Once he caught the ball along the sidelines he feet would remain planted but it looked like his ankles would give way and he would fall out of bounds. Especially in the Green Bay playoff game.

I agree with giving him a 1 day contract and bringing him back during the season for a halftime celebration of his career.

that would be stellar

i mean trust me i love the youth with the receievers.. but lets be honest.. weve seen all the passes theyve dropped during preseason..

we need to have a solid vet that we know will be reliable enough to make a 5 yd catch on 3rd down during a crucial part of the game..

we dont need that, so tommer would be a great guy to bring in.. him and eli have such good chemistry..

i mean.. we DO need that.. my bad

If he doesn´t survive even the first cuts in Kansas City that means he´s done.
