Sterling Shepard somehow getting a pass in his 4th year

Fyi13579 : 9/19/2019 11:01 am
It was his job to step up in Game 1 and prove he can lead the WR corps and be a #1 WR...he failed miserably. Nonexistent, can't get open at all.

Unavailable for Game 2, his frail self injured again.

When is Shepard going to show he is nothing more than a mediocre dime-a-dozen JAG? This guy is small, slow, can't separate, and makes no plays.

Not 1 Giants fan or person has called out Sterling Shepard for being a no-show in Year 4. Puzzling for a #40 overall pick drafted over Top 5 WR Michael Thomas.

Sheppard = JAG.
Sometimes better players are drafted later than others  
regulator : 9/19/2019 11:08 am : link
it happens.

Corey Coleman, Will Fuller, Josh Doctson and Laquon Treadwell were drafted before Shepard. If the 2016 draft is re-done, do you think *any* of them come off the board before Shepard? Nope.

cjac : 9/19/2019 11:17 am : link
that Shepard plays well and the Giants lose?

Mdgiantsfan : 9/19/2019 11:21 am : link

he would have caught that TD week one though.
Shepard only missed 5 games

Concussion

Concussion does not make someone injury prone.

He will always disappoint us....I expect it.
i agree with the general  
japanhead : 9/19/2019 11:48 am : link
premise that shep is average, and i was honestly surprised when they signed him to a long-term deal.
I don't disagree w the OP  
Dave : 9/19/2019 11:50 am : link
SS is a good slot receiver, nothing more, nothing less, imo.

Man of glass?...just idiotic, concussions are a serious injury and not a trifling matter!

Just to start this thread.
I don't think he's a JAG, but Shep needs to step up too  
V.I.G. : 9/19/2019 12:07 pm : link
Concussions are random, so no fault there.

Let's hope to see a difference maker when he returns.
The DUMB is strong  
ZogZerg : 9/19/2019 12:27 pm : link
with this one.
Slayton should help Shep  
VinegarPeppers : 9/19/2019 12:28 pm : link
Assuming he gets on the field. So you're blaming him for being frail for getting concussed? Are you stupid? 2 games and he's a bust? He only played in ONE. Are you stupid? Are you THAT stupid?

Coach Red Beaulieu : 9/19/2019 12:39 pm : link
Very strong, at least upper body. Solid production but missing that something that Cruz and Smith had.
Troll aside...  
Giant John : 9/19/2019 12:39 pm : link
Our wide receiver team is a weakness on this team. Shepard is JAG. I have a feeling next years draft will include a couple wide receivers and we will see what that brings.

Prefer they keep draft capital for D.  
DavidinBMNY : 9/19/2019 1:03 pm : link
They still need talent at Edge and LB to be a competitive defense. The defense is unwatchable - it is that bad.

The last top 15 pick on Defense was Apple who is somehow hanging on with the Saints. I can't recall a really high impact drafted defensive player since JPP where teams had to plan to contain someone.

Giving Shepard an extension looks to be a monumental mistake. The guy isn't a very good receiver.
Shephard has value  
Torrag : 9/19/2019 1:16 pm : link
His game has strengths(excellent blocker) and weaknesses(lacks big play ability). He's a high character guy. I think those are fair statements. I wouldn't have paid him as much as his new contract. There is an 'out' in the deal after 2021 where he would have earned $24M and carries a $4M dead cap hit.

Your parents made a monumental mistake September.
Nobody but fans expected him to step in as the #1 role  
Matt M. : 9/19/2019 2:30 pm : link
He is not a #1 WR. He is a solid #2/slot receiver. They signed Tate to be a stop-gap #1.

to pre-qualify for a handle.
SS has been a mild disappointment, but hopes were too high.  
Big Blue Blogger : 9/19/2019 2:50 pm : link
He’s the rare player who is exactly what the draftnik consensus said he would be. Hard to complain too much when a player comes precisely as advertised. Did anyone really expect him to be Antonio Brown, or even Hollywood Brown? Sure, he was drafted ahead of Thomas, but Thomas was a gamble who has performed at the high end of his low floor / high ceiling projection. Shepard was a safe, dull pick, and has played like one.

Seriously, this. The way some fans talk about shepard it's like they expected a superstar.
