ArmyBengal Posted April 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 He doesn't have elite speed, but he does have elite acceleration and ability to change direction. I don't think he'll stretch the field, but he'd been compared to Wes Welker and Anthony Gonzalez. He's a playmaker... and one of (if not both) Matt Jones and Jerome Simpson are goners.Well, seeing as how Shipley is no more than a slot receiver, I don't know how much he threatens Simpson, but wasn't Jones more of a slot guy ??I dont' remember, but if so, yeah, he could be gone. What about Quan Cosby ?? Where does he fit in with Caldwell ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HairOnFire Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 So, the deepest defensive draft in 30 years and two of the first three picks are used on slower than average pass catchers who each have a long history of injury. Sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted April 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 Well, maybe you guys can't be unhappy with that, but I am. He doesn't give us a person to come in and develop into a #1 or even a #2. He's a slot receiver who you hope is better than both Caldwell and Cosby. If he's not a better return guy than either Cosby or Scott, what's the reason ?? Decker could develop into a #2. Hell, Gilyard could have developed into a #2. Taylor Price even. I don't know, but once again, seems like right position, wrong player to me.Maybe so but he was rated higher then those guys, and i guess the Bengals had them rated higher also. You cant say he wasnt productiveIt's not about having him rated higher and I never said he wasn't productive. It's that he will NEVER COMPETE for the #1 or #2 slot and we already have both Caldwell and Cosby in the slot with both return spots being held. If they get rid of Cosby, fine, but he's not taking anyone elses job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazkal Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 watching the highlight and do have say I like the look of the guy It's not about having him rated higher and I never said he wasn't productive. It's that he will NEVER COMPETE for the #1 or #2 slot and we already have both Caldwell and Cosby in the slot with both return spots being held. If they get rid of Cosby, fine, but he's not taking anyone elses job. Well if he is truly a Wes Welkar type I don't see why not "shrug" all same maybe they plan to put Caldwell on the outside more and shipley take over the slot..Or maybe it was because of his return skills.

kentjett Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 He is the best slot WR in the draft and one of the most shifty. He is just as fast as Gilyard but more productive at a higher level. He may never be a stretch the field WR but he can be just as good as Welker. He is a well polished, low maint., high character player that excels in special teams.

HairOnFire Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 What do you all think about the chances of the Bengals taking another WR (Mardy)? Pretty good. Jordan Shipley is almost 30 years old and they could use a young guy to take his spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BengalPimp Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 Ha d to step away for a while......Checked on NFL.Com on my phone to see Jordan Shipley He is not Wes Welker, so don't go there...Well, here it goes.....Jordan Shipley = Poorman's Peter Warrick.....There I said it ! sad, but true.

jjakq27 Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 and one of (if not both) Matt Jones and Jerome Simpson are goners.Wouldn't that imply that both of them were once "here-ers"? and never wuzzers too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kentjett Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 Wes Welker is a good comparison. He is actually a more polished slot/route runner than Welker was coming out. He is also timed a little faster and taller. Wes Welker ran a 4.65 forty and is around 5'9" and Shipley ran a 4.60 forty and is around 5'11". They both had great college careers because of their elite vision. They both not only run good routes but know how to sit in the open spot. He instantly takes over as our slot WR and #1 punt returner. He is just an all around slick football player. It's hard not to like this kids game and character.
