And in all fairness, he did have Tiki Barber in the backfield, and targets of Shockey, Toomer and Hilliard to throw to. Not in the GSOT class, but not a bunch of jags either. Point was and is, Warner was a shell of himself in NY and his first few seasons in Arizona as well.

He was already a good RB but it all came together for him that year. He cured his fumbling issues and really took his game to the next level. It's really too bad for him that the Giants weren't really a complete team during that time. Somewhat wasted 3 of the better seasons a RB's ever had as he had 2,000+ total yard each year and scored 30+ TD.Toomer was looking old and I think was dealing with a hamstring most of that season so I wouldn't count him as a "name" at that point. Hilliard was JAG. Shockey was always inconsistent but this was one of his more down years IMO. Dropped a lot of crucial passes.On top of all of that, it was not an offense tailored to Warner at all. I don't really agree that he couldn't throw it to the sidelines(any more or less than he ever could) but regardless of that, it was just a conservative, run-first offense that had Warner only attempting 27 passes per game. by rams74 5 years 11 months ago Total posts: 1460 Joined: Nov 19 2015 Glendale, Arizona Pro Bowl Warner throwing shade POST #164 moklerman wrote:Tiki was out of his mind.
