yah that was a bit of a dig. I totally agree that we need to devote more resources to the OL. As you said, it appears that the vikings are doing well for themselves by signing hutch, and on the flip side seattle's rushing attack has apparently suffered. (but...i have no doubt that the seahawks were set ot match any offer hutch got, and the vikings pulled a fast one with the poison pill) My dig was regarding the draft, in that since we were targeting whitner, i think staying put and making sure we got whitner was a better strategy than dropping down for an extra pick and hoping that a) whitner was still there, and b) hoping that whoever we took with our acquired pick pans out. I know your thoughts differ, but if we all agreed this place would be boring. Regarding CB's, i know that Marv has a history of taking them early on, in the 90's. (i do not count this draft, because we needed the help on defense). I still hope we re-sign Clements, thus eliminating the need to take a corner early. Hopefully Clements will not ask for the 50 mil he think's he's worth. But regarding Marv's drafting CB's early, heres some thoughts i have... 1. in the 90's, DB was our biggest problem area on defense, sohe was constantly attempting to upgrade it. 2. A 1st round CB can step in and play at a reasonably high level from day 1. They are also relatively cheap when it comes to CB contract value. Top flight CB's demand a ton of $$$, so it would make more monetary sense to draft a decent one early and not pay him as much and have the money spent elsewhere, than to pay a top flight CB 50 mil and have rooks at other positions. I guess it may come down to would you rather have a 40-50 mil CB and a rookie OLman, or a 30 mil OL man and a rookie CB? I also agree with the theory that it never hurts to take an OL in day 1 of every draft, and to draft a QB in round 6 or 7 every draft.

Hows your other buddy Fred Rouse doing? I forget, was he kicked off the team before or after him and aj nicholson robbed lorenzo booker?

But you dont get it! we could have drafted more mediocre O-linemen with those extra picks!

Excellent post. As stated before in this thread, the complaints you speak of come from certain posters' insistence on being RIGHT over actually evaluating a players performance.

is that an offer?

FSU doesnt smoke the pole. Jeff Bowden (our OC) smokes the pole. Think of him, in all seriousness, as a retarded version of Mike Mularkey, if thats at all possible. Jeff bowden called 3 straight WR screens the other night against Clemson.

Puhonix smokes the pole.

Where do i sign up for the raping and pillaging?

Yes, thats what i thought too. Who'd have thunk that the best person to give an honest assessment on J.P. Losman is a poster by the name of "Holcomb's arm". And if making fun of people who have a long and distinguished track record of going out of their way to bash our QB means i have anger issues, why then, yes i do.

Watching JDG and Holcombs arm and their relentless pointless attack on losman is akin to watching Timmy and Jimmy on south park. TIMM-MAH!!

Happy Anniversary!!!

Of course you forget to mention that lovely 6-10 record that they had while MM was there in his final season. But dont let that stop you from continuing to whack mularkey off.

Lets just ignore the little fact that Cowher was going to fire Mularkey and promote Whisenhunt until TD made the job easy for Cowher. Mularkey is sh--, plain and simple.

i love watching douche's like you and JDG go out of your way to irrationally criticize losman. You sound like the friggin national media by saying it was everything but JP that caused the bils to win. I'm waiting for you to come with some assinine arguement now, about how JP's yards per 2nd and 2-4 yards per completion per sunday in the eastern time zone is 5.8932487534% while holcomb's is 6. Do what i have told others. Reach down. Firmly grasp your neck. give a tug, and please please please pull your head out of your ass before you watch the next game.

Ahhh yes, your assinine assessment of Losman is dead on, while the rest of our's are the ones who are off.

keep up the rampage against losman. he's making you look dumber by the day.

you are making the incorrect assumption that someone liked you before.

Well, as for positives, at least culpepper didnt get sacked on EVERY play.

I didnt know him personally, but prayers to t-80's kids and to his wife's family.

Those white jerseys are hideous. !@#$ing puke!

I'd hafta have a peek under your hood before i could take a course of action.

The cap isnt based on average contract value. The cap is base salary + signing bonus amortization. Almost every players cpa # goes up every season.

Try Napolean McCallum's leg injury on MNF. How his lower leg stayed attached i dont know. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVchNFaUiVc
