Well, I'm glad to see you can type a coherant sentance. You get a happy star.

Yeah, I'll believe Palmer isn't Questionable for the season opener when he's walking on the field. Same goes for Culpepper and Brees. You do not take that type of injury that late in the year and come back 100% the next year.

Fitzgerald isn't even the best reciever on the Cards, that's Boldin. Their offense picks up, sure, but they still have a weak link at QB that has degressed quickly through the years. Leinhart is the wave of the future, but he's not signed nor does he look to be signing soon. As much as he demolished NCAA competition, he's not going to go in without any preseason or training camp reps and make any sort of an impact. He isn't even the best backup in the league either. There are multiple backups floating in the league that would likely be successful or have been successful starters in the NFL.

Moss needs someone to throw the deep ball to him. Brooks borders on grossly ineffective and won't be able to seal the deal. Raider Nation is going to toss him to the side by week 6.

Name two offensive linemen on the Colts. Ok, the Pats. Alright, the Panthers. You can't, don't even say you can because its bullshiit. Just because you can't name an offensive line doesn't mean the line sucks. The Saints, as faulty as they are, do not lack on the offensive side of the ball and have all of their holes on defense. If you actually WATCHED games and didn't talk out of your ass, you'd know that. Systems are systems. Take RBs in Denver: if Shanahan starts an undrafted rookie, I don't question it because he produces 1000+ yard runners every single year. The Saints constantly produce good linemen on both sides of the ball, and I see no reason to doubt them this year.

Reggie Bush also isn't getting 90% of the carries on the offense. If he were the feature back while doing special teams duty, he would get worn down and have a greater potential for a wear-down injury. As it stands, he's acting more like a Reciever than a starting RB. Nobody rags on Steve Smith or Randle El for return duty while they start, and its a non-issue for Reggie Bush.

The Texans allowed Carr to get sacked for an insane amount of times. Their need wasn't defensive: it was their offensive line. Their pick was DeBrickashaw Fergeson, not some mediocre DE that got all of his sacks against cupcake teams.

Let's break down his 2005 outing: 13 solo sacks. Nice. Except they came against the oh-so-mighty competition of Wake Forest (3), Maryland (4), UNC (1), Southern Miss (3), Mid-Tenn State (1), and South Fla (1). Awesome. None of those teams (except So Miss) had winning records. Getting gooseegged in sacks against Clemson, BC, Va Tech, EKU (and really, Eastern Kentucky? I could register a sack on them), Ga Tech, and FSU shows one thing: he can't perform against winners.

Reggie Bush OTOH lit up every team he played and changed the game, regardless of who he played.

I'm sorry, I keep forgetting the ACC stole teams from other conferences. Awesome, you have a handful of good teams in a conference that's filled to the brim with crap. ACC owns in Basketball, not Football.

Going back to the Texans and the draft as a whole: Mario Williams was not the best player in the draft at all, nor was he the best for that team. Even if he registers 10 sacks this year, it isn't going to mean anything if:
1.) Your offensive line allows Carr to get sacked somewhere in the vicinity of 68 times again because you passed on the best offensive lineman in years.
1a.) Your offensive can't score so you still lose 10+ games because your QB keeps getting sacked because you passed on the best OL in the draft.
2.) You passed on a guy that will put up roughly a TD a game and change the way defenses scheme against your offense and special teams.

Dominick Davis is a back that suffers like the rest of the Texans offense from the piss-poor line. A team that allowed its QB to get annihilated 68 times should be looking at shoring up the line, not getting a DE that can't get sacks on the good teams he plays. It was not the smart move in any sense or case.

What's a rebuddle? Ooooooh....a REBUTTAL. Yeah, you failed at that too. Come back when you know your ass hole from a hole in the ground.
