As to the Reggie Bush issue, if they take Bush, who's the "Deuce" they have that will get 20-25 carries a game and allow Bush to be effective as a flanker, which is basically what he is there? Oh, and who's their Colston? Horn? Henderson? Then again, Bush could probably carry that team alone to another 5-6 wins. All he'd have to do is run outside (since he has trouble running in between tackles) and he could get to the corner faster than the defense. It's that simple.

Great. Now Hardaway hates himself. And some guy named Edward.

Defensively, they're not stupid @ all. On the other side of the ball, however...

A point driven into our heads over 20,280 times on this board.

If I was the GM for Oakland, I'd look to trade down a few spots and hope to land Joe Thomas. Their O line needs a lot of help.

The senior TI I had while in boot camp was a female, and while she wasn't too bad to look @, this woman looks better than she did.

As much as I think Smith is a jerk for how he handled the whole Schottenheimer issue, ganesh, you really have to give credit where it's due to his ability as a GM. He did pass on Vick, get Tomlinson (as I call him, for the only "LT" I know of is retired), and ended up adding Brees also. He then traded Manning for 3 Pro Bowl players (Kaeding, Rivers, and 'Roid Boy), further enhancing that team.

I certainly do not envy David Carr. The oldest 27 year old QB? If he's not, I'd like to know who is. Yeesh. I remember reading how Pitts has played every offensive snap for the Texans (going into last season). How wonderful for their QBs, as Pitts is very Mike Gandy-like (not worth much as an OT, adequate @ OG).

There's a ton of good websites/magazines I check out for draft info. Here's a few of my favorites: Magazines I purchase: Ourlads Kiper PFW (not as good w/out Buschbaum, but still worth reading) TSN draft mag Sites I frequent/purchase: NFL Draft Countdown TSN online ESPN Insider Marty & Matt's Pro Draft Report (home of the draft "steals", and they're pretty good @ spotting them) NFL Draft Exchange (nflfans.com) GBN Draft Report The Huddle Report NFL Draft Scout Draft.com NFL Draft Blitz

Having your confidence shot by being pounded a billion times by opposing defenses has a funny way of manifesting itself in bad play on the field. He needs a fresh start and an organization that will actually put the talent around him (and not just a WR) that will help him succeed. Imagine if the Colts would've given Manning the piece of crap line Carr has had to deal w/ from the beginning of his career. Not saying Manning's stats would be identical, but he certainly would've seen a huge dropoff. Now, all of that said, I have seen Carr take more sacks than he should and make some terrible throws also. I just wonder how much of that can be attributed to knowing you'll have to run for your life on just about every play.

He's also very valuable on special teams units. I'd like to see him in Buffalo, but I wonder if the Ravens are willing to match any offer he may get.

Goodbye.

Congrats once again to our winners, and I'll see you all next year!

Nor is sense those shiny things jingling in your pocket, either.

Who's Bill Willis?

I think that further proves GuessWhozBack21's point, if you're alluding to Jones' durability problems.

What? I've heard of him...

Agreed. That's a much better idea. I'll take Robert Edwards on my team...

Okay then, let's get Jim Brown.

Even though I haven't attended college in 15 years, I'd have to agree.

Happy birthday.

He's the next Ron Pawlus, huh? I think he's got way better skills than Pawlus. Whether or not they'll translate to major college football is to be determined.

Now, if he can just learn the name of the school he's coaching ("Illinoise"). Wanny has had a second good recruiting class in a row @ Pittsburgh also.

Have you taken a look @ the recruiting class Butch Davis is putting together? They won't be a bad team for long. Like Mack Brown before him, Butch is a solid recruiter. Not a great Xs and Os coach (like Mack Brown before him), but a very good recruiter.

Mine too.
