Ran across this and thought it was rather interesting.  We had the #14 overall pick in 2005 and we all know we selected TD.  According to the article we should have went with Jeremiah Ratliff (who actually went in the 7th round). Not so sure many here @ the huddle would agree with this.....

One of the worst 1st rounds in NFL history and TD goes later than he originally did? LOL

 

The article doesn't explain it, but imagine being a team knowing you're going to be missing Thomas for 3years of his career even with a crystal ball, not many teams would take that even with a productive player while he is active. I love me some TD58 and Panthers but objectively speaking, I understand the ranking.

Well, if he was drafted by a different team he may never have been injured at all.

Finishing his degree,..lauded by TD and the FO, will get to start from day-1...who's to say we wont have one of, if not the best LB geoup in the NFLs history?

 

So finishing your degree and being talked up by your coaches results in getting a statue...? Let the guy play at least a down in the league, Jesus.

You definitely can't put Shaq in there with those guys at this point in time. Hopefully one day but c'mon man.

      Forget trying to draft a QB in the early first round--it's stupid

      By ColumbusCounty · Posted

      I dont think people realize how hard it is to find a consistent starting QB in the NFL. Byrce will not heart us to a SB but I do think he can manage to get us one or close..go all in on defense and change the Offensive passing game and play calls. I really think our biggest problem is our HC.  Take New Orleans QB for example, switch him and Bryce and I promise you it'll look similar or worse. New Orleans OC is levels ahead of Canales. And as far as the draft goes, in this division with as much rb talent as we face ..the answer...this guy:    Pick up a couple edge rushers in FA along with a corner and plug this guy in Rozeboom's spot. Defense solved. But only if we get a top tier rusher on that dline....jus saying

      World cup ticket prices

      I think I'm going to the game in Los Angeles vs Paraguay, and the England / Croatia game here in Dallas since my mom is British.  For decent seats anywhere in the building(s) it looks like it will be upwards of $7k for the two games.  Insane. Just for perspective, you could buy field level EPL tickets for any one of the top sides in the league, and it would be 10% of the price you'll pay for crappy seats at the World Cup.

      Meh… I knew this thread would turn into a Bryce/Tua comparison, when they couldn’t be further apart situations.   Dolphins catered there whole offense toward Tua, they brought in a coach that would run a Tua friendly offense, the went in got the best most explosive WR in the NFL and paired him the fastest WR in that years draft. Panthers have done the opposite, they went and got a Pete Carroll disciple who likes to run the ball under center, they drafted big slow WR who got little separation in college. Literally the polar opposite of Bryce’s scouting report coming out of Alabama.   Tua was a decent QB 2 years ago, but the concussions, lack of movement have caught up to him. He never had a great arm to begin with but now since he doesn’t want to get hit he’s taking the whole offense down with him.
