Antoine Cason.

I just got back from a weekend at Stowe Vermont. Hippie girls are fine! Especially hippie girls that ski!
Do you not see the parallels? Both involve a bunch of hippies congregating, smoking tons of weed, having drum circles, playing music, both take place in Colorado, "little Eichmanns" is from a professor at CU, and both talk about solving problems but do nothing.
The South Park episode is from 2005.
Almost forgot that the Hippies are College students in the episode (CU)

The guy is a track star, but he got LIT UP by WR's who won't even be drafted.
-
And what is reasonable? Since he is viewed as a premier receiver by those around the league, a reasonable deal would be him being paid as a premier WR wouldn't it?
Agreed. We have the money for a huge signing bonus... best to get it done this year while we have all this extra money.
-
I'd like Cason... he has Cover 2 corner written all over him.
-
We have like $30 million left on cash to the cap.... so yes, we can afford it.
-
And certainly never heard of Roger Staubach, taken in the 10th round but didn't even make the list.
He should be on the list, but the 10th round is equal to the 4th round now-a-days.
-
I'm hoping we get Cason in the 2nd round. He will give us more bang for the buck, he's a prototype cover 2 corner.
-
We don't need Harvey. With the addition of Stroud, and McCargo being a lot better, QBs will not be able to just step up in the pocket to avoid our DE's. All to often last year; we would beat the OT's but the QB would just step up due to the lack of middle pressure.

Interesting though only 2 teams that have won the superbowl since 2000 have finished with a top 10 passing offense. Could it be do to modern day defenses, just being faster. The lack of real franchise quarterbacks. Or just more important then anything you need balance. Using your same measurables. These same teams finished in the following in rushing offense. I still say rushing offense is far more important, then passing yards.
RANKING OF RUSH OFFENSE
1989: 49ers- 10th
1990: Giants- 4th
1991: Redskins- 7th
1992: Cowboys- 5th
1993: Cowboys- 2nd
1994: Niners- 6th
1995: Cowboys- 2nd
1996: Packers- 11th
1997: Broncos- 4th
1998: Broncos- 2nd
1999: Rams- 5th
2000: Ravens- 5th
2001: Pats- 13th
2002: Bucs- 27th
2003: Pats- 24th
2004: Pats- 7th
2005: Steelers- 5th
2006: Colts- 18th
2007: Giants- 7th
Note:14 of the 19 teams finished in top 10 in rush offense. Only 3 of these teams finished lower then 15th. 2 others just outside the top 10. Also No one will ever mistake the Bucs/Ravens as winning relating anything to do with their offensive statistics. If I had time I'd actually be more interested in looking up post season team statistics, to see where teams that won favor heavily. In Rush offense, or pass offense. I'd assume rush offense would stick out like a sore thumb. Also interesting imo to note. That of all the 42 superbowls. I believe only the 2006 colts, hold the distinction of being the only team in NFL history to win the superbowl with the leagues worst rush defense.
Having a passing game is nice. It sells tickets. It sure looks pretty. It sure helps your running game. So teams don't consistently stack the line. It's way more "exciting" then grind it out, down and dirty in the trenches football. At the end of the day though. Balance is key. With a huge bias towards rush offense, and the truth that Defense wins championships.
In the vast majority of cases you need a good passing game to have a good running game. You also need a good passing game to score points, case in point the Titans last year. They had a very good running game but no passing game so their offense was terrible.

11 out of 19 are in the top 10 for passing yards, 14 out of 19 are in the top half of the league in passing yards. None are ranked below 24th. The Bills are 30th. In the words of some,you are a "fantasy football" GM if you draft offense. This clearly proves that in order to win the super bowl you have to have at least a decent passing game, and in most cases a very good one. So maybe the people bitching about how the Bills will become the Lions, if they draft a WR will shut the hell up now?
-
While we are on the topic of ranking WRs, when is someone going to mention the giant turd Moss laid during the playoffs?
In three playoff games, he managed a total of 7 receptions for 94 yards.
In the playoffs, the 6' 4" Moss delivered at a 5' 7" level.
Teams focused on taking him away, while letting other people beat them. (sounds familiar)
-
You are extremely ignorant. You can call the Bills the Lions when we draft WR's when we have no need for them.
-
We will not draft a DT. We have Stroud, McCargo, Johnson, and Williams.
-
Wow, no question in my mind that Evans won't re-sign. He is in for a huge signing bonus with that much cash-to-the-cap left.
-
What is the position of greatest need? WR. Who is the best WR in the draft? Sweed/Kelly. Who will make the biggest impact on your team? a WR. How many points did we score a game last year? 16 or so. And you want to draft defense?
-
I actually believe him, there are MUCH better lies he could have come up with.
-
Maybe we should become the Vikings? They have a great D-line, but they have no WR's and their pass D is terrible.
-
He has tons of upside; he was a projected 1st round pick. There is no way you cut him, unless he gets beaten out for the last corner spot.
-
The reason the Lions suck is, the receivers they drafted were busts. Mike Williams and Charles Rogers are garbage. One of the worst posts ever.
The Lions also have no running game, or an offensive line. (we have both)
-
AKC, please stop wasting your time arguing with people who don't really understand that a dominating interior defense is a virtual must-have to win regularly in the NFL.
Let them fantasize over WRs and RBs... there's a reason why they drink the kool-aid year after year. These are the same people who have predicted an 11-5 record for the past 5 years.
It's a beautiful day out here in Cali... go out and enjoy it. I would be, were it not for these damn taxes
Why would anyone ever draft anything but D-line? Oh wait, you have to score points. Guess where points come from? The passing game.
-
The same people that say we won't draft a WR are the ones that said we wouldnt get a RB in the first last year. Apparently, both positions can be filled in later rounds with no drop off in quality.
-
Stop talking like a smart NFL GM! This discussion is about filling out rookie fantasy rosters- you won't get points from those Defensive Tackles!
Wow, are you truly this stupid? If you ran an NFL team you wouldn't score more than 10 points a game.
