Their performances aren't terribly comparable. Cal had a top 15 passing attack in 2006, while Oklahoma's was in the bottom half, around 75th or so. AP's QBs were an immature freshman and a converted WR in 2005 and 2006, Lynch was playing with a Tedford QB. Lynch didn't have to carry the same...

Cal always had a proficient passing attack. Oklahoma's was subpar Peterson's sophomore and junior years. Peterson really was the "centerpiece", Lynch didn't have that kind of target on his chest or burden on his back.

What a joke of a mock, 1) Peterson lasts 'til 16 2) Picks 2 and 3 are ridiculous. Detroit will take Joe Thomas. 3) Olsen goes in the first, but Jarrett, Bowe, and Rice don't... to a team with a very good TE. 4) Meachem to Tenn. for no good reason other than that he played at UT. 5)...

Easy there slugger. You may be right about Oakland taking Peterson or Johnson. They're both guys you want to build around but are gonna be performers from day 1. They're ceiling is as high as Russell's and the floor is a lot higher too.

The topic is unavoidable, so here's my twenty cents. Carr is a much better player than Grossman is now, or will ever be. Carr would be a really nice fit for Chicago. He could execute well enough and make enough plays to win a lot of games for the Bears and probably win that game. I don't...

T-Kyss, my beef with Grossman is he does one thing well... throwing the deep ball. Everything else is subpar. Everything. Not accurate, not smart, not poised, not a playmaker with his feet, not clutch, uncomfortable throwing intermediate routes, undersized, and he certainly doesn't seem to...

Brad Johnson's one of the worst to ever win the game... but he had a 93 passer rating that season... he was ballin' that year.

On the one hand he's the Heisman and has a rocket arm... on the other hand, he has a major weakness that has been exploited. He's good when he gets out of the pocket, bad when penned in. He should be worth a 3rd rd. pick based on talent alone... but probablyy not a #2 like I thought, and I...

It's his 4th year in the league, he should have left some of those balls back in Gainesville as a freshman. "Bad Rex" is the Rex against good D's or in close games... 2 TDs and 12 INTs against Minn., Miami, and NE.

Yeah... a bit foolish, Bob Sanders makes a world of difference, like having another MLB in running situations. Mathis, Freeney, and Sanders surrounded by average players makes for a pretty decent D if your O can control the clock.

They are in the hunt for a new QB... definitely. At this point, I think they'd want a cool veteran who can just manage ballgames... limited upside but little downside. Griese might be that guy... maybe Schaub's their man... definitely not Plummer.

Absolutely... it's a shame really, tough situation for that whole team and Rex. Lovie was in an impossible situation, but it was pretty clear after that Saints game that they didn't have a snowball's chance with Rex behind center. They were 7 point dogs despite outclassing IND in every phase...

He's not the only reason the Bears lost, but they might win that game with Griese. Grossman alternates between being gunshy and taking undue risks, makes the offense ridiculously predictable, and just turns it over too much. He was probably worse against New Orleans, and I hope now we can put...

You could make the same argument about Craig Biggio too.... body of work matters. Good point though. He was just a favorite of mine growing up, feels like he deserves his due.

Funny you mention Rashard Lewis, wasn't he allegedly given a pre-draft guarantee that if available the Rockets would take him (remember the tears)? They had 3 first rounders too... took Mirsad Turkcan, Bryce Drew, and Michael Dickerson. All three guys were out of the league by 2004 and off the...

I don't know how Irvin gets in before Monk does. Irvin's got higher per-season totals, but lesser career stats. Monk won plenty of rings too and set a lot of records in his time. Art Monk should be the maddest dude in the world right now. It's not that Irvin isn't deserving, he is... it's...

Pro-Bowl players are selected based on fans, coaches, and player votes (1/3rd each). Alternates face the same criteria. He was announced as an alternate from day 1. It's not known whether he was the 2nd or 3rd alternate behind Brady and maybe McNair...

If you draft Peterson, you don't have him split carries. He'd be such a value at #8 it's not even funny. He can realistically be expected to rush for 1500+ yards as a rookie... that can't be said about many guys ever. You gotta run 'em hard while they're young, nothing is guaranteed after age...

The vitriole reserved for the hometown boy done good is beyond me. He brought the first national championship to the state of Texas in 35 years, begged to play for the hometown team, and spurned, has succeeded elsewhere. I'm over the fact Houston took Williams instead, it never really bothered...

Rivers is hurt and Brady wants to play golf. http://chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/4523096.html I wonder if he'll pick up anything from Palmer and Manning or if it's all fun and hula dancers.
