SI.com: Sharpe Not the Greatest TE

[epicSocialism4tw]

As one would expect from the overly sentimental and traditionally anti-Bronco rag that is Sports Illustrated, SI chose to downplay the long list of accomplishments and statistical dominance that Sharpe has over his competition to wax sentimental about the first receiving threat as a TE.

The guys at SI get more and more senile as time goes by. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/multimedia/photo_gallery/0608/gallery.NFLtopTE/content.10.html

I think that the argument against Sharpe is very difficult from all angles because he has it all. He owns the stats, has the championships (3), was an integral piece of a dominant team. And he was easily the best TE of his generation. He was a complete player. Blocking was not a weakness.

What a crock.

If Shannon's worse than anyone, it's Kellen Winslow...and he's 5th.

[ZachKC]

Hopefully freak tells us more about what is and is not classy.

[Smiling Assassin27]

Blocking is a relative term--and why Sharpe got tagged as a 'weak blocker' is really an injustice. Look at the running back statistics while the guy was TE and no credible case can be made that he was a weak blocker. Gonzo is quite a talent but he'll never contribute to a Super Bowl on one team, let alone two. Sharpe has the rings to go along with the stats while Gonzo does not.

[Orange_Beard]

Gonzalez will break all of his records.

Sharpe will always have more superbowl rings.

To elaborate further for our young grasshoppers:

LP - Long Play Record. 33 1/3 RPMs. 12" - Up to 30 minutes per side.

EP- Extended Play Record. 45 RPMs. Usually a 7 inch single with 2 songs per side.

[BigPlayShay]

Gonzalez may surpass Shay's recieving records, but he will finish with minimal post season accomplishments, zero championships, and will never have been a part of blocking for a 2,000 yard rusher.

He can dunk over goal posts though!!!

[kamakazi_kal]

gonzo is going to have a tough time breaking those records since he will be blocking all the time now that roaf is gone

[Steve Sewell]

I doubt Gonzalez will end up in Denver. I think he will retire as a Chief.

Yeah but don't you think he'd want to go out a winner?

[Bob's your Information Minister]

Gonzalez isn't even the best blocking tight end on our roster. You think we're keeping two tight ends in on every play?

Turley will do just fine.

Sharpe won all of his rings late in his career.

You are basically saying there is no way Gonzalez can do that?

Then we had mini-LP's that were smaller with a bigger hole. You always had to put the plastic insert in the middle for the "high Fi" turntable. First one I had was Revolution on one side and Hey Jude on the other. I think it was the best selling 45 of all time.

Blocked punt helps Broncos top Chiefs in OT

NFL.com wire reports

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (Oct. 20, 2002) -- Shannon Sharpe proved there's still plenty of life in his 34-year-old legs. There was never a doubt about his attitude.

Sharpe set an NFL record for tight ends with 214 yards receiving, and his two second-half touchdown catches helped the Denver Broncos rally from a 14-point deficit to beat the Kansas City Chiefs 37-34 in overtime.

Sharpe, who made 12 catches, set a single-game franchise record for receiving yards and broke Jackie Smith's league mark for tight ends.

Smith had 212 yards receiving on nine catches for the St. Louis Cardinals against Pittsburgh on Oct. 13, 1963.

Sharpe caught a pair of scoring passes from Brian Griese, who was 30 of 50 for a career-best 376 yards, as Denver (5-2) defeated the Chiefs (3-4) at Arrowhead Stadium for the first time since 1998.

After Sharpe beat three defenders for his first TD, an 82-yarder, he couldn't resist needling Kansas City's fans. He bent down in the end zone, unfastened some tape from his shoe and showed them what was written underneath.

"It says, 'Big Play Shay,' " Sharpe said. "I just wanted to let everyone know I was still back."

http://www.nfl.com/ce/recap/0,3762,NFL_20021020_DEN@KC,00.html

[freak6]

<img src="http://www.rememberdt.com/4767d6c0.jpg">

"Look Derrick, I know your stressing about your 12 kids, that you know about, and I excuse you for embarrassing yourself, your family, your POS GM, your retard mullethead fans, and your loser coach. Just remember, Click it or Ticket".

A bit much?

He tried to rip Shannon Sharpe's head OFF of his body. Fk'em and fk the chiefs str8 up.

Gonzo is a beast. In our offense, Gonzo would have been close to Sharpe, but remember when Shannon caught that pass vs the Seahawks when John ducked the blitzing LB, Sharpes speed was to much for even Safeties. Remember Kenoy Kennedy haplessly chasing him in the playoffs vs us with that fumble recovery. Shannon Sharpe was the best instant mismatch in tackle football.

[freak6]

Sharpe seemed delighted about the Chiefs utter meltdown on National Television, embarrassing themselves, the franchise, and thier troglodite fans.

"I got a guy suspended, I got a guy cut, a coach resigned, and another thought about resigning," he said. "I'm pretty good. I ought to go in politics."

The coach who thought about resigning was Miami's Jimmy Johnson, who flirted briefly with retirement after his Dolphins were blown out by the Broncos, 38-3, in a divisional playoff game.

It was after that game that Sharpe called Dolphins quarterback Dan Marino "a loser," <b>sent word for Johnson to evacuate his office at Pro Player Stadium "because we're going to need it to break down film," </b>and chided the Dolphins with this rhetorical question: "How does it feel to have the Super Bowl at your house, and you're not invited?"

[Hotrod]

One thing for sure no other TE had the one liners Sharpe had Ha!

[Billy Clyde Puckett]

While I would pick Sharpe as the best ever, I can see the sentiment for Mackey. He doesn't have the stats, but he did define the position. He was a monster in his day.

[BigPlayShay]

Big Play Shay, still has a nice ring to it :yayaya:

[Kaylore]

One thing for sure no other TE had the one liners Sharpe had Ha! So true. I think his smack talking ability is what tips the scale to him being number one.

Gonzo is downhill from here. They are going to have to keep him in to block a lot this season and he'll ger frustrated and start whining again. After Trent gets sacked all season long, he'll retire and by the time Carl Peterson finds someone who can throw the ball to him, Tony G. Will be retired.

[RMT]

Gonzalez isn't even the best blocking tight end on our roster. You think we're keeping two tight ends in on every play?

Turley will do just fine.

Turley will be a disappointment, consistent with every team he's been on.

[Circle Orange]

Aren't these the same goobers who said Elway wasn't among the top 50 athletes of this century? Or was that ESPN...it don't matter. They're all in on the conspiracy...:clown: think about it. Lack of representation in the HOF, and now they run down two of the franchise's best players. Somebody must hate orange.

I did not see the first game if he "kicked ***" what happened is he moving in the wrong direction??? Maybe his size is already starting to show. Its early thats true but you cant possible like what you saw last night and I guarantee TrInt is none to happy.

Where was that rook QB.....is he hurt or just simply 5th on the depth chart ;D I actually was hoping to see him play.

Hilarious! Man, I miss Shannon.

[obediah]

I miss him too, and its a good example of how Sharpe Out-shines all the rest. Basically it boils down to his mouth, his BIG mouth, he pissed so many players off In-Game, they messed up, he pumped up his team with his big mouth, He brought a lot to the field with that mouth of his, and in my opinion Makes him #Uno!

Obediah

[orange 4 life]

i dont think sharpe is the greatest tight end ever either.

no knock on the guy, because he is a hall of famer all the way, but IMO not the best ever.
the best PASS CATCHING tight end sure, but not the best overall.
personally, i give that to newsome.
just my .02

Kyle Turley...oh boy. Willie Roaf is one of the best at the position. Turley couldn't carry Roaf's jock. Hell, he could use Roaf's jock as a parachute maybe.

dunno about that. would TD have gone over 2000 without sharpe blocking? downfield especially?

[0SE7EN]

dunno about that. would TD have gone over 2000 without sharpe blocking? downfield especially?

I don't know. Shannon was just an okay blocker but not great. I would give credit to Eddie Mac and Rod Smith's downfield blocking before Shannon. Again, he wasn't a horrible blocker, but he wasn't that great either.
But on third down, there's no other TE I'd rather throw the ball to. The guy was clutch.

[orange 4 life]

Pfft. Newsome homer...LOL

LOL

i just call 'em like i see 'em.

the "plummer homer" stuff cracks me up since im only supporting the guy
based on what he's done.
its not like i was a fan of his before he came here, but whatever.
"homer" is the new favorite word for some people around here.

[Atlas]

Sharpe was not only an adequate blocker but he turned into being a good blocker. He got great position on his blocks and did what he had to to get the RB by him. Anyone who says Sharpe was a poor blocker never watched him play.

Any one of 'em could play on my team. Sharpe was a winner, though. He made the big play when everything was on the line. Those don't show up in the stats.

[NOLA Bronco]

Um, how many people here actually saw Mackey play? I didn't, so I asked my pops.

He said - its a different game, but Mackey was better in his era than Sharpe was in his.

sounds like your dad is one of those guys that had to walk up hill in the snow three miles to school with no shoes... everyday until he was 18.

I saw them both play and in those rankings the guy that is really under rated is Charlie Sanders. He was better than 3-4 of the guys on the top ten list.

You are right, Sharpe revolutionized (maybe a little overstated), but Mackey defined it in the first place. Both were great.

Didn't every dad?

That doesn't mean he doesn't know what he is talking about. In addition to being a smart guy, he used to coach.

Sharpe was great, the best I have seen. But unless you saw them both, you can't really make a proper statement about the "greatest". The games and stats are just different.

* - Super BowlIt's too bad Shannon never had a huge Super Bowl performance in his three games in the spotlight. He did get hurt early against Atlanta, so that took away one chance.

I'll never forget his performance in that Wild Card loss to the Raiders. What a great game he had, which didn't mean anything due to the inept defensive effort from Charlie Waters' boys. Jeff Hostetler and Napoleon McCallum had Waters holding his head in his hands in shame on the bench.

We called it black licorice pizza. Small child of the 70s. Thanks mom for those haircuts cover them ears.
