tom cody Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Rice had a good career, one of the best ever to play the game but I doubt very much you ever see him play in the NFL again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mission27 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Don't think so. Randy on the other hand probably still could come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have we seen stranger things though? A 55 year old WR would be the most insane thing I’ve seen. Also, does anyone remember him in his last/2nd last seasons? He was horrendous. 10+ years later he’s going to be serviceable? Nah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've seen players play into their late 40s it wouldn't shock me to see a player try to come back at age 55, extremely unlikely but we've seen Peyton come back from a career ending injury and have his best season ever. We've seen Tom Brady probably win an MVP/superbowl at age 40. I think he could play a decent game here and there assuming he didn't snap on the field like a twig his first game back. Limited snap count and situational use (3rd downs, redzone etc.) could see rice being somewhat productive but we'll never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great idea!!! In addition, maybe they can get Fred Biletnikoff, still a boyish 74 years old, to come out of retirement, too! Heck, maybe bring George Blanda back to throw the ball to them, and, well, cryogenically un-freeze Al "Just- uh, uh, uh-WHATEVER it is, Baby!" Davis to be the coach!

Definitely no players that get hit consistently. Kickers don't count btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, does anyone remember him in his last/2nd last seasons? He was horrendous. 10+ years later he's going to be serviceable? Nah. He wasn't horrendous. In 2003 the Raiders lost Gannon for half the season. Raiders were putting out a mix of Rick Mierer, Marques Tuiasosopo, and Rob Johnson. Everyone's production was effected on that team. He went to Seattle the next year in a trade, but the Seahawks already had some young guys like Darrell Jackson, Koren Robinson, Jeremy Stevens, getting targets and developing. Rice wasn't getting that many targets/snaps due to other factors than him being horrible, which just wasn't true. You get old, teams are going to look towards the future regardless of how good you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually sharing what he does on his social media account. Dude just can't stop working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkippyX Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I think this is a joke. I remember Jim Brown at least pretending to be serious about a comeback when he was 47. It did not result in Jim Brown on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
