You fricking with me now? How does that mean he's injury prone? He's played in every game of his career.

Damn, some of you are WAY too sensitive!

I never implied that he is injury prone or has suffered any catastrophic injuries, but am just relaying what I have read on multiple occasions regarding his struggles. I would love to see him have many more years of productivity and hope he overcomes said challenges.

Oh and BTW, I am an LSU fan originally from BR, so don't let the Panthers logo sway you.

Because there are many games in which he is limited or doesn't finish that have happened in his career. Believe me, I'm not making this up. I can find many more articles like this about him if you want me to post more.

Let's see... LINK
quote:

Randle had career-highs in targets (127), receptions (71) and yards (938) with three touchdown catches. But, Randle was also benched at two different points during the season.

Much of this is being the beneficiary of playing with Odell

quote:

The Giants expected a more mature Randle to continue to produce in 2015, his final season before free agency. And at points, he has. But his numbers have taken a significant drop - Randle, who has battled nagging injuries,


quote:

Randle has been accused of cutting his route short three times on goal line plays in the last two weeks, with two of the plays resulting in interceptions thrown by quarterback Eli Manning.


Once again, I'm happy for him getting signed. I have nothing against that. It's just that he's unperformed a ton for being a 2nd round pick. Partly because of lower body injuries.

Giants fans are thrilled to let him go..apparently he had the case of the dropzies, caused a lot of interceptions, and has poor work ethic..

Would have loved to see him with the Saints now that Colston is gone. They also weren't thrilled with drafting OBJ.

Apparently Giants fans on Reddit are happy he's leaving. The comments just prove the point. LINK

that's cool, but their fans are talking about his last 4 yrs with the Giants, not his draft position.


I'm an Eagles fan so I am intrigued on what his role will be next year...definitely has a shot to do big things...it's a 1 yr deal so he's basically playing for another contract.

Living in NYC this past NFL season made me watch just about every Giants game. They talked about his knees every game and how he can barely practice. He did have a case of the dropsies but made up for it other times. I hope he's able to get fully healthy and continue his NFL Career

Yep, that absolutely proves it because fans are always justified in their Internet complaints against a player that is leaving their team.
