  1. I was a fan of Shaq though he had a tough start due to injury and bad coaching.  That said,  I believe there is a reason (other than play) to why the 5th year was not picked up.  Not to mention the deal he got was not exactly a bank breaker.  With Jerry getting up there in age and Murphy with one year left I would think they would have loved to have 1 DE locked up for the next few years.  

     

     

  2. Texas does require a permit for handguns.  It is very easy to get, considering he has lived there his whole life no reason why he should not have it.  

     

    I believe the only reason for him to catch a gun charge would be because of not having the permit.  

     

    If this is the case he is a real idiot!!!

    Dude, it’s been respectful in this whole conversation.  What is this point you are trying to get across?  Because it makes no sense.  Every human being is allowed to play the sport of football.  Some of more capable than others and make the nfl.  I played through college but the sole reason I didn’t make it in the nfl was because I wasn’t good enough.  It’s a physical thing.  
     

    guys aren’t given the shot to get top level nfl jobs.  It has nothing to do with physical skills.  It’s a subjective process that is based largely on nepotism.  

     

    My point is I think it is stupid.  Giving a team a competitive advantage based on ethnic background.  When the percentages are close to proportional whats the problem?

    Fair point if we are casually discussing players and drafts. But to make the point about a possible HOF player and a pro bowler on a WORST DRAFT PICKS OF ALL TIME thread is so far out in left field. 

     

    Your right they were very good football players!!  Not busts by any means...  Just a sore spot for me because I dont think they made the team better where as a first round OL could have.  

     

    We had Henry when Willis was drafted

    We had Jackson when Lynch was drafted 

    We had Jackson and Lynch when Spiller was drafted

     

    So WORST DRAFT PICKS OF ALL TIME  to me is not just bad players that were drafted, but players who were drafted that did little to improve the team.  

     

    Many of the bad players have been talked about already. Except for Derrick Burroughs,  Ronnie Harmon, James Williams who were all 1st round picks.

    Huh? 

     

    WG rushed for 1100,1200, and 990 yards while he was here. Then made 2 pro bowls after he left.

     

    Thats just a wild accusation. 

     

     

     

    You had me until Lynch and McGahee. I can sorta get McGahee. He didn’t play for a year, but he was still good. Lynch was an All-Pro back. We never should have traded him. 

     

    I didnt say they were not good players, its just that the team was in decent shape at RB without them.  They needed help on the OL.  When you look at the draft capital that was used on the RB position to not make much improvement.  Didnt they have Freddie, Henry, and Lynch at the same time?

  6. I cant understand why Dante Whitner comes up in this conversation..  The team was desperate for a safety that year and drafted a guy that was a 10 year starter in the league.  Was is drafted a bit early, maybe but they got a starter in year one. 

     

    The other guy I understand why he was on the list but was not a terrible deal was EJ.  I know he did not pan out but QBs in the first round are only about %50 anyway.   The traded back and got a 2nd that turned in to Kiko.  

     

    Yes there were some bad picks over the years but what gets me the most is all the early RBs that were taken when we already had decent RBs.  Willis who couldnt play in year one, Lynch come to mind.

  7. I think O-line is the hardest position for a rookie to play with exception of QB.  Ford should improve a good bit.  They should improve as a group in year 2. Tough year with 4 new starters and the center was out most of the preseason as I recall.  

     

    It would be nice to know if they tried to improve the talent through FA tho.
