TBGKon Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 according to Monday Night Football, there is a trade in the works to send Jerry Rice to the Seahawks......do you all think this is a good trade......I do and it'll send the Seahawks to Super Bowl XXXIX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
See Red Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 I think it's a good trade. Can't see how it'll help either team other than to help mentor the Seahawks WR's who constantly drop passes. But with Jerry Rice being my favorite player of all time, I hated seeing him on the sidelines against the Broncos. I had to feel for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbman21 Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 Yeah it is official,as I've found a couple of news sources online reporting it.With Robinson facing a 4 game suspension and Bobby Engram hurt he could contribute right away.My only question is...what number would he wear??Number 80 is retired for Largent..is there an 88(college #) on the Seahawks?I think this will definitely help them if anything for his veteran leadership ability to teach the younger WR's.

And if I heard correctly -- they got him for a 7th round draft pick.Oh, and Itula Mili wears #88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stampman Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 Good trade for the Seahawks, just in terms of Rice's experience and leadership--and he'll help on the field--on one hand I am glad--as he went ot my favorite NFL team, but on the other, I was hoping he'd go to the Browns--to give Garcia some more receiving options...

rmered Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 Will he only play for a West Coast team?Is San Deigo a chance?Should the BC Lions put in a phone call for two years time? Oh, and I've got a site.Footy Jumpers Dot Com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEAD! Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 Should the BC Lions put in a phone call for two years time? I think Rice would rather play for the Detroit Lions. I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmered Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 Should the BC Lions put in a phone call for two years time? I think Rice would rather play for the Detroit Lions. Based on his being in San Francisco and Oakland, and possibly moving to Seattle, my thoughts were he was looking to stay on the West Coast.Therefore, San Diego and BC are the only teams left.Unless he goes all Jordan and suits up for the Portland Blazers in a different sport.Next time I'll try to be more obviously flippant.

I did understand it the first time. I just saying that I don't think Rice would ever want to play in the CFL. I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then do you think he'll play NBA? with Seattle, Portland, Golden State, the Clippers (Unless they move) or the Lakers?

Mings Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 I'm lucky that he was still available in my league, he will be a good backup plan if KoRo gets suspended (I already have KoRo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshawaggie Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 he will probably end up wearing #11 or something, seems all the college guys comin up are wearin that number... its all the rage. @josh_j12 CFA- Fargo Bobcats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Survival79 Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 Listening to the press conference it sounds like Rice will wear 80. Apparently Steve Largent contacted Rice and wants him to wear it.

DarthMan Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 it'll send the Seahawks to Super Bowl XXXIX SEAHAWKS SUCK!It's not a good trade. He can't plkay anymore, and he's just depth. "We have nothing to fear except fear itself." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFoA Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 it'll send the Seahawks to Super Bowl XXXIX If the Falcons, Vikings, and most importantly, the Eagles all lose their starters, come up with a case of influenza, and the reserves get ran over in a horrible 3 way bus accident resulting in the three teams having to play replacement players.... Then and only then the Seahawks will go to the Super Bowl. But on a serious note, maybe Rice will go over there and teach them the importance of catching passes, because it's ridiculous how many passes the Seahawks drop   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Survival79 Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 Rice unveiled his new jersey, No. 80, which is a cherished number in the hearts of Seahawks fans. Steve Largent wore No. 80, and it was retired in his honor. Rice said that Largent gave him the OK to bring the number out of retirement."I had a chance to talk to Steve, and it's an honor for me to wear the No. 80 out of respect to him," Rice said.

rmered Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 So really, was Steve Largent a better player, with worse quarterbacks? Oh, and I've got a site.Footy Jumpers Dot Com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JQK Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 I think it's a class move by both players. Let's be honest, Seattle isn't going to retire Rice with 80, and the number will always be Largent's in Seattle. It was two legends coming to a classy compromise, and i'm glad to see it.

Which makes me think this is it for Jerry. Largent wouldn't let Rice wear #80 for more than a year I'd think. If it is Jerry's last hurrah, I got November the circled. The Seahawks come to "Da Monstah" in what would be Jerry's first regular season game in San Francisco and NOT be in crimson and gold. 2004 San Jose Sharks 7th Man Fan of the Year San Jose Gold Miners - 4x Lombardi Cup Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
