Look who made there mark as DOn Banks starting guard for his all disappointment team of 2008. lol I guess Fox and Hurney are better evaluators of talent than we give them credit for considering cutting Wahle was a big question mark at the beginning of the year.

"Offensive guard

Mike Wahle, Seattle -- The Seahawks snapped Wahle up in free agency, hoping he could solve the problem they've had at left guard since Steve Hutchinson got away to Minnesota. But Wahle's mediocre play only contributed to Seattle's season-long offensive line issues, and he was placed on injured reserve with a shoulder injury after just 10 games.

Ken Hamlin was also on the list, another guy who even I was begging for us to snap up in FA. Godfrey has been playing better than a rookie who played CB in college should be, so no complaints out of me and our new #30.

I'm SHOCKED by this one. It's amazing what one good game against Michigan can do for your draft status.

Outside linebacker

Vernon Gholston, Jets -- And to think that the Ohio State linebacker at one point was considered a candidate to go first overall in last April's draft. New York took him sixth overall, and he was hands-down the biggest disappointment of the first round. By season's end, he wasn't even making the game-day active roster. His 13 tackles, no sacks, no fumbles forced and no interceptions make him our easiest pick of all.

I couldn't believe some people were calling this guy a better DE than Long last year. He was a one trick pony in college that did nothing but rush the QB every single play. Only 37 tackles and no pass defenses (senior year) are terrible numbers for someone that was supposedly dominant.

I was on the Gholston Bandwagon for a minute, but then I really paid attention to him in the championship game last year. I saw way too much half assed effort in that game.

All those people that think Peppers takes plays off, need to go back and watch some of Gholstons' college footage, and you will see what taking plays off really means.

      The issue is the position Bryce plays. Finding a good/great quarterback isn't easy. Plus, it sometimes takes years for these guys to actually become good/great. What you have to look for is progress instead of regression. Bryce has shown that. Can he put it all together? We don't know yet. But that's why you place a smaller bet with the 5th year option, and wait to see. You could be wrong and lose your 30 mil bet, but you didn't hitch your wagon long-term and lose much more.

      Absolutely not. That’s too much for replacement level player. Bryce may be that. Or he may turn into something more. If you can’t see the flashes, you’re willfully blind. There’s more bad than good right now, but there’s less bad than there was earlier in his career. He’s only 24 and he’s showing signs of improvement. He may never become consistent enough to justify a long term contract, but he’s shown enough to roll the dice on what effectively will turn into a 2 year, $30MM contract for the next two years to see if he can earn something longer.    Sure, in his one season starting, Howell managed to throw for 3,946 yards and toss 21 TDs, but it took throwing the ball an astounding 612 times. He also threw 21 INTs (for a particularly egregious 3.4 INT%). For all the talk of him being a deep ball thrower, he still only averaged 6.4 YPA, with an average air yards of 5.6 yards per attempt. And for all the excuses of Washington’s line giving him no protection (65 sacks taken that year), he was only pressured on 22.7% of his dropbacks, which is a few percentage points lower than what Bryce has had to deal with each year (24.2, 26.7, and 24.0%).    These are all numbers that are at best roughly equivalent to Bryce’s production the past two years. It’s wild to me people can claim so confidently that he’s a better QB.
