me, but in all fairness the extent of my player analysis back then came from playing madden. i thought williams was too slow and too small. i've only known the rules of football for 6 or 7 years. i've since realized players don't have to be adrian peterson physical specimens to be great. williams is a fighter, like steve smith, and that's what makes him great.

I hated foster so much i was ecstatic when deangelo was drafted.

Like this draft, I wasn't unhappy with the pick, and was guardedly optimistic. Of course my optimism waned over the next couple of seasons, but in retrospect it was the way that he was being used (or misused, as it were). Like anyone who admits the truth, I thought that he could be a good starter, but was ecstatic when he produced the numbers that he did in '08. But, unlike some, I was still happy with the Stewart pick (and still am), and think that Stewart will have the opportunity to put up even better numbers than Williams when all is saod and done. But, D. Will has turned out to be more of a beast than I think anyone could imagine.

    • No one way to do it, it does appear that with the bigger draft picks of the last 5 years…..majority haven’t steered clear of young QBs on the roster being their hopeful guy. Especially past their rookie seasons but even some the biggest ones have had it early.   As far as Andy Dalton, the two young guys he has “mentored”…..have had very rough NFL starts.  Which really ask the why the heck is Dalton here.   He doesn’t really check any box.  No young potential.  Can’t step in and win.  And his mentor track record with Fields and now Bryce is bad 
    • I had thought the Panthers might let him play out his contract this year and hope he stays healthy. If not draft a left tackle and move Ekwonu to right tackle. 
    • Frankly, if most teams in the NFL lose their starting QB for a significant amount of time, they're screwed. The fantasy is that one has a future Tony Romo or a Nick Foles that can carry a stacked team. The reality is that you might get roughly 3~5 games out of your backup before it all falls apart. Remember all of Peyton Manning's backups? Utterly terrible. Speaking of backup QB's, Raiders may need one. https://www.nfl.com/news/raiders-qb-aidan-o-connell-suffered-fractured-wrist-in-preseason-finale-expected-to-be-out-6-8-weeks
