I feel bad for the kid that he received bad advice from his agent (I'm speculating), in advising him to attend the green room, and you hate to see someone go through such embarrassment of having the cameras on you, pick after pick and not getting drafted, but there were serious concerns about the kid's leadership and resolve and all he did was just feed into those criticisms.

It's a bull **** topic for right wingers. Latino's care about it very much, and you can count me with that group And if you don't think that immigration played a key role in Florida, Arizona, NM, CO and NV, then you are one delusional dude. But keep burying your head in the sand believing that people don't care about this topic.

All I gotta say to this is that he is a "rare" sort of player.

Good luck? ok, thanks man

It wasn't garbage time. Check again. Also, yes, I do like him. And, Desean Jackson is who I'd compare him to. Same size, similar speed and dynamism. Desean jackson has played 5 seasons, last year was the only year where he was injured and only played about 2/3 of the season. In the other 4 seasons, he's had two 1000 yard seasons and the other two were over 900 yards.

I don't think you've been keeping up. Those rushing yards never counted. Oh and Oklahoma isn't on Buffalo's schedule of opponents for this upcoming year.

Well, you're not gonna goad me into a conversation regarding the competence of Congress and the President. However, that is not an excuse to not to genuinely attempt to pass an immigration bill that the majority of American's support.

Roscoe 2.0? Let's see here, you have one guy who totaled 1355 total yard receiving with less than 100 catches in his college career and another that had 2 1000 yard seasons and over 3000 yards with over 280 receptions for his career and nearly three times the TD's. Yep, Roscoe 2.0 But when you combine that with over 40 receptions, doesn't look nearly as bad.

At least that would of made a better argument than "Oh. What week is Oklahoma on the schedule?"

Really? That's your response?

I think he would be an ideal fit to Hacket/Marrone's WestCoast/K Gun hybrid offense.

ummm, yeah? Or were those yards vs. Oklahoma a figment of our imagination that never occurred?

Ok, so an average of 8 receptions a game at a little less than 10 YPC with over 370 yards rushing at 13 yard per Rush attempt during that time span not good numbers?

Yeah, they probably did. But does that really matter?

I think that goes without saying. The point I was making is that vs. top level college competition, he excelled. Also, I personally value players that have been very productive in college, specially in the skill positions. Then when you combine those incredible stats, with his dynamism and speed, you get a play making player with a history of high production. I see him more in the mold of a DeSean jackson. I'd be very happy if he had similar stats to him.

That is an interesting point you bring up. So I looked up his stats against top competition. Texas, Oklahoma, Ok state and Texas Tech. Good teams right? 35 receptions for 360 yards and 2 TDs and 364 yards Rushing on 26 carries with 2 TD's. The year before he had 11 receptions for 187 yards vs LSU So at least we know that against the very best, he was a gamer.

Well, there is one little tiny difference between the two. Roscoe Parrish's stats: He had 19 , 24 and 43 receptions at UM For a total of 1355 total yard receiving through out his career with 12 TD's. He rushed for a career total of 186 yards with 1 TD Tavon Austin: had 114 receptions for 1289 yards with 12 TD's 72 Rushes for 643 yards HIS SENIOR YEAR! His Junior year he had 101 receptions for 1186 yards with 8 TD's The guy had over 1000 yards Rushing and 3000 yards receiving and 35 TD's for his career. And that isn't even counting his Special teams TD's. The only way you can reasonably make the comparison you are trying to make is purely on size and quickness. Production counts!

You know, when I saw your name from the main stadiumwall thread, I thought to myself "He must be here because of something related to religion" And yup, I was right!

So when you say "Here's your bill" It implies, that this is the bill that will be voted on. Which is absolutely not the case. So it's not the bill, it's exactly what Marco Rubio says it is, which is a "starting point". Read more: http://thehill.com/h...t#ixzz2RV7dcxYi Two important points, one that Raul labrador who is taking the lead on the immigration reform for house republicans will make the bill more "conservative". two, Luis Gutierrez who has been the top advocate from democrats for immigration reform, who has lots of pull, is fully acknowledging that the Senate Bill, which will be even more to the right than the one you just posted, will be even more to the left than what will come out of the house. In other words, the final bill will be to the right of anything that we have seen. Read more: http://www.politico.com/story/2013/04/senate-immigration-bill-markup-may-9-90637.html#ixzz2RVA8sE3C

I think the most telling part of what was said was this: Looks like they are targeting a Qb to me.

I agree

That would be an unbelievably horrible PR move by the Democrats.

Not to mention that he is a dynamic playmaker.

I'd be happy with Austin

That's fine, but it's still not a reason to oppose immigration reform that includes a pathway to citizenship and border security. So the idea should be to make it as good of a bill as possible and go into this with a positive frame of mind. If Democrats look to weaken the border security portion of the bill, then that's on them. And you can in good conscience say that you supported the opportunity to pass an effective immigration bill, and that it was the Democrats who torpedoed the bill by going against what the American public wanted, which is to secure borders as well. btw, don't think that the immigration activists aren't paying attention, they will know who was working in good faith and who wasn't. If they see that Democrats take the cynical approach they will also hold them accountable as well. They would rather have 2/3 of what they want than nothing. They also understand that in order for a bill to pass, it has to meet "conservative" demands of border security. You think this is their first rodeo? They know the challenges of immigration reform. While you may believe that the president will try to use this as a political weapon moving forward, they don't care about that. They want results, which is true immigration reform. Also, as I stated earlier, the president DESPERATELY wants this to pass. His legacy is at stake, and this is his best shot of having something meaningfully positive for his legacy. Remember, he already won his election, the motivation to use this as a political sledge hammer doesn't interest him nearly as much as his legacy.
