Joey Galloway to the Pats.

[HHURRICANE]

I worry that the Bills aren't doing much else in FA. I'm not worried about Galloway on any other team except this one.

The Bills need to finish there job in FA.

[Mr. Miyagi]

Damn the Pats. Damn them to hell. :curse:

[Goobylal]

Galloway did almost nothing last year. He, like Springs, are injury-prone and at best replace what they had in Gaffney and O'Neal.

[Mitchell55]

So now they have Welker, Moss, and Galloway. Id say thats equal to Owens, Evans, Reed.

Not based on production last year.

[Ickybaluky]

Not based on production last year.

How about the last 2 years? With Galloway being hurt last year he had an off year, unlike the other guys who were relatively healthy.

However, if you compare production over the last 2 years Moss/Welker/Galloway combined for 460 receptions for 5,993 Yards and 51 TDs. Over that same period Owens/Evans/Reed combined for 375 receptions for 5,448 Yards and 30 TDs.

Also, while Galloway hurt his foot last year and wasn't effective, the 3 years prior to that he averaged 67 receptions for 1,119 Yards (16.6 YPR) and 8 TDs. He missed one game over those 3 years, so I don't know if you can call him injury-prone.

I'd say it is better.

[SquishDaFish]

Wow 85 catches less and almost same yardage. TDs are a wash because Buffalos Offense sucked last few years and didnt really see the endzone much lol

Why not go back 3 years, seeing as how Owen had more TD's than even Moss over that timespan? How about 4 years?

The reason why I said last year is because it's a "what have you done for me lately" league and given Galloway's age and production last year, expecting his production to continue to drop-off isn't far-fetched. It's not like they're getting Galloway in his prime.

It's not like you are getting Owens in his prime, either. Galloway has been very productive. He was #1 WR productive for the 3 years prior to suffering his foot injury last year. Now he is healthy again and he will be a 3rd WR for the Pats. That is sick.

[Ickybaluky]

OK, why not?

Moss, Welker, Galloway - last 3 years:

701 receptions, 9,439 Yards, 72 TDs

Owens, Evans, Reed - Last 3 Years:

546 receptions, 7,995 Yards, 58 TDs


Moss, Welker, Galloway - last 4 years:

803 receptions, 11,016 Yards, 80 TDs

Owens, Evans, Reed - Last 4 Years:

673 receptions, 9,950 Yards, 73 TDs


BTW, Moss has 37 TDs over the last 3 years and 45 TDs over the last 4 years.

Owens has 38 TDs over the last 3 years and 44 TDs over the last 4 years.

Who really cares???

I said this was going to happen 2 weeks ago....This was the team JOEY had on his list...He will play as a 3rd down WR and a 4th WR or a WR to psread the field for RANDY....He wanted to play on a team that THROWS A TON, and team that wins......

Joey has always been a cool guy, but very unhappy he is playing in the AFC EAST...

Galloway is 37 and will be entering his 15th season, and is well past the age that WR's usually lose it. Given this and his production last year (and the foot excuse is a convenient one seeing as how he played in 9 games and had only 13 reception, 138 yards, and 0 TD's), expecting a whole lot out of him is expecting a lot.

As for Owens, he is 2 years younger and came off a highly productive season last year. He'd be where Galloway was in 2007.

The Pats were able to sign him because they promised him he'd be the 3rd WR, not just a 3rd down WR or the 4th WR.

I know a very close friend to JOEY, this was the 1st choice he had...

Pats fans do. They want to tell you that Galloway is the next jerry rice and make you believe it.

:yawn:

Galloway hurt his foot in preseason last year and gutted out nine games. He wasn't healthy. When he was healthy in the 3 years prior, he produced like a #1.

Really, what this comes down to is Galloway vs. Reed. When you look at, Moss is younger than Owens and Welker is younger than Evans. Moss and Welker have been more productive than Owens and Evans.

Then, you have Galloway vs. Reed. Galloway averaged 67 receptions for 1,119 Yards and 8 TDs from 2005 - 2007. His YPR in those 3 years was 16.6. Last year, he was injured. Reed in the last 3 years averaged 47 receptions for 528 Yards and 1 TD, despite starting 23 games over that stretch. That is 11.2 YPR.

Now, Galloway probably can't run like he used to (when he was one of the fastest guys in the NFL), but he is still more explosive than Reed. He knows how to set guys up and get open, where Reed is just a guy. I'll take Galloway 10 times over, no matter the age.

Of course it is, but at least it's not like the Jets or Fish situation...

[Ickybaluky]

True. Owens is a dramatic upgrade to the Bills WR corps, the kind of compliment to Lee Evans they have been missing. He changes their offense.

However, that isn't really the topic here. I think Galloway is being discounted because of his age. As a 3rd WR, he is a great fit for the Pats. It isn't like the guy has been going downhill, he was incredibly productive prior to getting hurt last year. He can still play.

[Luisito23]

I think it was a good signing by the Pats, and if he comes back to form which I'm assuming he will, I see him with something like 60+ catches and 600+ yds. easily.
