Does it? All I can say is that I've seen plenty of first round backs in the playoffs and the Super Bowl over the last 10 years, including a couple that we drafted.

We will never agree, and that's OK. I do agree that if you can find a back that is special in the later rounds, then go for it, but that still doesn't mean that you pass up on a back in round 1 or 2 when you need one. If they're injured, it is prudent to skip them, but if they're healthy and have proven to be able to put up 12 and 1300 yards in a season, then you have to give them a look. RBs are not plug-and-play, no matter how you try to say it. JAGs are not going to run you to where you want to go.

I never said he that he was. As a matter of fact I'm highly skeptical of his scheme, as to me it makes it easier for opposing running backs to get a head of steam. Perhaps when we get better personnel, it will work better. I still like a 4-3 base though, admittedly perhaps because I'm used to it.

I agree to a point, but certain schemes in theory and on the field play to a player's strengths and makes him look good. That's what the draft and FA acquisitions are all about. Of course some players can thrive in any scheme, but I can't say that Chinn is one of them.

Luvu due to finances and Chinn due to scheme.

Oh, wow. I didn't know. I had to look it up.

Meanwhile, CJ and the Texans are blaming the refs.

Yeah, he's shaky to say the least. I wouldn't do business with him.

Higgins is very good. He hasn't even nearly hit his ceiling, and he very well could be a top 10 receiver in the league. Ochocinco thinks he's a top 10 receiver already. Shannon Sharpe says top 15. As for getting paid, all the top receivers get their turn. That's just the nature of the game.

Yeah, but I don't see it as a possible overpay in regards to talent---Higgins has shined when Chase wasn't even on the field (he has)---it may be an overpay if Higgins continues to be hurt for games at a time.

I'm not going to be overly critical because it's too early to judge some of these guys (and I have to keep telling myself that), but they could do a much better job of actually drafting players. If we have another draft like the last, it will be one helluva red flag.

He's just holding onto the ball too long. If your ready isn't there, it just isn't there.

Well, looking at the pic, I guess it's been more Cinerator. LOL

So much for a higher pick.

Ha ha. I didn't even notice that myself. Of course I've been alternating shots of Cinerator and Fireball... What a pun, however unintentional. That was funny.

I mean, this season was impressive. I hate that when the rubber meets the road, his coach decided to turn into a pumpkin.

You gotta have more time than that though. Oops. Wrong thread.

Darnold needs to exercise those ghosts right now, otherwise his career will be haunted from now on.

Darnold going Darnold.

No, I've listened to these guys for decades. TB12 is not so much better or worse than any of them. Damn, Darnold just fumbled.

I mean, I don't know what y'all are looking for for. They're not talking politics out there.

Everyone knows what you've said about McMillan. Anyway... Bryce's so-called limitations surely didn't look all that important during his play the latter part of the season. But, keep hating.

I think y'all are being hard on Tom because he's TB12. Sure, he looks a little mannequish in his appearance, and, no, he doesn't have the more animated delivery that Olsen has, but he still drops good tidbits of football knowledge (which is why Olsen and Romo are good). I don't hate him, but he'll likely go all-Raider anyway and be out. Olsen isn't out by any stretch. I've seen him on something.

All I'm saying is that, like every team every year, we can re-judicate every draft, but it's going to take time to actually get a clear picture.

Every time I saw Williams dominating, I think of the possibilities as well. He's not a lock to fall to us though.
