SoFlaJets Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 from a KentuckyJet fwd... By Ronnie Shumake So everybody wants one of the wideout divas in the league. Burress, Edwards, Jones and Marshall are the common names thrown around, some have even thrown Harrison out there. While I like the thought of adding a proven big threat reciever, I want to get one who doesn't shoot himself, drop the ball, do coke or hit women. So those guys are all up a river with a boat with no paddle. I suppose for the right price, I wouldn't mind Edwards or Harrison if you held a gun to my...nevermind. Anyhow, I really like the things I am hearing and seeing from Chanci Stuckey. Here is a guy who always seemed to make plays last year. While Favre got the credit, he made a riduclous catch in week 1 to help fry the fish in Miami. The guy got separation time and time again last year in the slot. This year he seems hell bent on getting the job opposite Jerricho Cotchery. I know a lot of folks are really grumbling about the lack of "proven" talent and depth at wideout, but wasn't Cotchery himself unproven a couple of years back. When you really think of it, who was the last receiver who really came straight out of college highly touted and really made an immediate impact and name for himself? Stuckey started his college career as a quarterback so it really helped with his picking up pre-snap reads and blitzes last year and so far this year in workouts. He is learning from Henry Ellard, the new Jet's receiver coach. I also hear he is going to work out with Terance Mathis for some extra credit homework assignments before training camp starts. This kid is like a sponge and he is finding the best water possible. Now I recall Mathis when he was with the Jets. I saw promise there but he wasn't utilized properly in the system (sounds familiar?) as a receiver. He left as an unrestricted free agent and went on to AVERAGE three times his best yearly total up here (28 catches) down there per year (77 catches). His first year there, he caught 111 balls for over 1300 yards! This guy constantly made toast out of DB's and was always one of the top options for the QB's Jeff George and Chris Chandler down there. He actually finished his career as THE leading receiver in three categories in Atlanta Falcons history with 573 receptions, 7349 yards and 57 touchdowns from 1994-2001. Let's look at the big picture here. Stuckey is going to work with the Falcons' ALL TIME leading receiver, outside of training camp on his own time and dime. Then he will come back to camp and have one of the best route runners in the history of the game, who's third all time in yardage, Henry Ellard working with him all year as his coach. Now, maybe I am missing something, but the last time I checked we are talking about trying to "upgrade" over a guy who seriously studies his craft and already has a year in this system. The options are a guy who was late for his own court case for shooting HIMSELF in his leg (butterfingers), a guy who has hands of stone when it matters (lardfingers), a guy who got caught with more blow than the 86 Mets (blowfingers), a guy who hits his women (weak pimp hand) and all with pretty high price tags in cash and/or future draft picks, as well as quite possibly team PR and even more importantly chemistry. You heard it here first. Don't sleep on Stuckey. I can see big things popping for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish Jet Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 I have to say I'd find the source a lot more credible if he could spell his name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villain_the_foe Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Great read. I do believe in the talent that we have. I think that we do need another receiver, but it doesnt have to be Burress, though that would be a great addition. I've always like to see talent develop through a particular system. It seems like Stuckey is playing to win....which is the best mindset then a person playing to get paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irish Jet Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Chansi Stuckey <--- That's not how you spell his name??? I think it is correct. Pretty sure SoFla typed in the title. This is how it was spelt in the article: Chanci Stuckey. I was joking a bit, pretty good article. I'm rooting for Stuckey. Always did like him.

abyzmul Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 That's a nice, upbeat article that doesn't take into account physical ability at all. Stuckey lacks it. You can have all the work ethic and heart in the world and if you lack the ability, you are just Rudy Ruteger. A mascot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMacExchange Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 As much as I like him, from what I remember the knock on him coming out of the draft was that he never played a full season without being injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

124 Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 I loved Stuckey coming out. He was a 3rd round projected player before his senior season when he got hurt and fell to us in the 7th. I have a friend who is a Clemson football fan so I always tend to see a lot of their games and think he can be a dynamic slot receiver for us, not so sure about playing on the outside though.

I am with you on this one..slot he can do some things but other than that not so sure. He would benefit greatly by the addition of a legitimate #1..but then again the whole wr group would Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His upside is huge but with the injury history the risk is huge as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
