Instead, you specifically said he's an idiot because he said those three shitbags weren't worth a 1st round pick. Why make that argument now? What have they done to prove him wrong?<BR/><BR/>Then again, you're probably still wondering why Tim Couch and Heath Shuler never really got a fair shot in the NFL.John McDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17519382514369045390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30356100.post-1158259477901493582006-09-14T14:44:00.000-04:002006-09-14T14:44:00.000-04:00yea john great college games automatically mean gr...yea john great college games automatically mean great pro games...i mean ask eric crouch and danny wuerffel (thats a joke) and am i the only one who thought the championship game sucked last year...with the whole usc not feeling the need to spy Vince Young at alltheNickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08240676635920812687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30356100.post-1158256796923002392006-09-14T13:59:00.000-04:002006-09-14T13:59:00.000-04:00Not only was that not funny, John, but your compar...Not only was that not funny, John, but your comparison lacks context. Did Carr and Ramsey face off in possibly the greatest NCAA championship ever? How does Leinart's legacy NOT compare to Palmer's, given their school, coaching, and system?<BR/><BR/>It wasn't an intellectual argument.

What? He didn't make the list of finalists?<BR/><BR/>1998: Manning #1; Leaf #2<BR/><BR/>1999: Couch 1; McNabb 2; Akili Smith 3; Culpooper 11; McCown 12<BR/><BR/>2000: Pennington 18<BR/><BR/>2001: Ron Mexico 1<BR/> <BR/>2002: Carr 1; Ramsey 32<BR/><BR/>2003: Palmer 1; Byron Sandwich 7; Boller 19; Grossman 22<BR/><BR/>So in those 8 drafts there have been 16 qbs taken and three are legimately great players (Manning, McNabb, Palmer) three more are serviceable (Mexico, Culpooper, Sandwich), three more are borderline (Grossman, Pennington, Carr), and SEVEN are busts. <BR/><BR/>That's not a good percentage. All Super Merril was saying is that he wouldn't trade up for one of the grab-bag of VY#10, Leinart, or Cutler since Kellen Clemens is probably just as good.John McDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17519382514369045390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30356100.post-1158255317467726332006-09-14T13:35:00.000-04:002006-09-14T13:35:00.000-04:00um, has his prediction been proven wrong yet?um, has his prediction been proven wrong yet?Big Thunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13413123295086433655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30356100.post-1158250517458795042006-09-14T12:15:00.000-04:002006-09-14T12:15:00.000-04:00Dude, if Matt Millen can do it, any of us can.Dude, if Matt Millen can do it, any of us can.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07021863564276017725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30356100.post-1158248015496504882006-09-14T11:33:00.000-04:002006-09-14T11:33:00.000-04:00if Steve Phillips can be GM of anything, Hoge and ...if Steve Phillips can be GM of anything, Hoge and his horrific suits should have a chance to make some personnel decisions.Spaceman Spiffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17046006830896514673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30356100.post-1158246635076410262006-09-14T11:10:00.000-04:002006-09-14T11:10:00.000-04:00Didn't Merril Hoge retire because of one too many ...Didn't Merril Hoge retire because of one too many concussions?
