With all of this pointless debating about who we are gonna take at number one, I want to see who's with me in this regard...

I am completely fine and will be thrilled with selecting any of the following:

LSU's Patrick Peterson

Mizzou's Blaine Gabbert

Alabama's Marcell Dareus

Auburn's Cam Newton

Georgia's AJ Green

Auburn's Nick Fairley

Every one of these guys would be a very nice addition to our franchise and will no doubt play a major role in our ascent back to the top of the league whether it be in the immediate future or over the course of a few years.

So let's step back and realize this amidst all of these annoying back and forth's about Cam, Gabbert, & etc. At least try to be open about taking any one of these guys in the coming months and consequentially the draft will be much easier to absorb.

Sign up if you're with me

Cheers :cheers2:

So basically you are saying you're a fan of this TEAM and that you trust the guys who are paid handsomely to evaluate talent that they'll do a good job and pick the right guy?

hahahaha

Pretty much, but it seems hard for soo many people to actually admit

Given last year's handling of the draft, it's hard for anyone who is a fan of this TEAM to fully trust the guys who are paid handsomely to evaluate talent to do a good job.

Considering we have a completely new staff & along with our GM who has an above avg draft track record imo, I am fine with trusting them. You choose to distrust them and remain mad about last year's draft, I remain chill about whatever may happen because I know there's no way in hell I know what's gonna go down.

Just because Fox's lame duck throw away season didn't create stars outta every draft pick doesn't mean they can't still do well.

Draft picks can't be fully evaluated until 3 years out, sometimes longer.

The jury is still out on last years draft, even though admittedly the outlook isn't exactly positive. Lets give these guys time to suprise us before we bury them.

Let's also give Hurney a chance to draft without John "imsoconservativeidontdevelopyoungplayers" Fox. How was Hurney's last draft without Fox? :cool:

That's all well and good, but we still have the same GM... who arguably has a huge hand in draft strategy. And Fox claimed that he had little imput on personnel.

Yeah, but you're talking about "trust" here. You know what they say about it... being earned and not given...

And last years draft is not the only indictment against Hurney. He's made a slew of poor decisions over the years.

you are ahard man to please

I'm really a simple man who appreciates all facets of the game of football and don't get caught up in excitement.

Give me the best player to help this team win as soon as possible.

I'll let you try and convince yourself that player is Cam ;)

      Rams are willing to deal one of the 1st rounders for all-pro talent in secondary

      By strato · Posted

      They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world.

      I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).

      It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
