No, not really. Because TO is a number 1 option, and wants the ball as much as he can get it. If he doesn't get it, he's not happy. That would of caused conflict with Steve Smith pretty quickly. Keyshawn on the other hand knows he's not what he once was. He knows he isn't going to catch 100 balls, and be the star on the team. He knows he's not a #1 option and there to back up Smith. So there is a big difference. I know you don't like Key because of what happened with TB, and now he's on a rival team. But I'd bet money we don't see any problems from him since he's getting paid nicely and already knows his place on the team.

My thought on Foster, is that while he is injury prone, at this point he really isnt a gamble because Carolina has great depth with Williams,Goings, and possibly Shelton. If/when Fosyter gets hurt they will still be able to put a guy on the field that is capable of getting 120 yards

Do you have a link to that quote? I'd be very interested to see that one for myself.

I agree with that. We have great RB depth this season. With that I don't think Foster will have as much chance to get hurt. He'll be our #1, but I'm sure DeAngelo and even Nick will get a nice share of carries next year.

Johnson called Smith "the most dominant force in the NFL at wide receiver" and said he was looking forward to lining up next to him.

Quote:

"I didn't come here to catch 100 balls," Johnson said. "I came here because I feel Carolina is the team with the best chance to get to the Super Bowl."

Quote:

Johnson said it doesn't bother him if quarterback Jake Delhomme considers Smith his No. 1 target.

Quote:

"The only people who get caught up in No. 1 or No. 2 are the ones playing fantasy football," he said. "The only number that means anything is the number of [Super Bowl] rings you have on your finger.

What did you guys do with the real Keyshawn Johnson?

**Professor** · 06-03-2006, 08:39 PM

I want to see this all translate to the field.

I think carolina will be fin with Keyshawn at #2. He was #2 behind Glenn last year and wasnt a problem, and Glenn is no S.S.

Carbo04 · 06-04-2006, 06:42 AM

^^^ Very true. I think Parcells has changed Key for the best. Plus, he's getting paid and on a contending team. He'll be happy.

**Professor** · 06-04-2006, 01:11 PM

he wasn't fine all the time behind glenn, in fact there were a couple of times that he blew up on the sideline, you can take the dog out of the fight, but you can't take the fight out of the dog. me-shawn has been this way for his whole career, including last year. I would have to see the change before I believe there is one.
