Tiki Barber said it took him 4 years to figure out the NFL.

My point was, AZ and NE have taken teh same path in the draft with far different results.
Why?
Since you can't figure it out, I will tell you.
You need impact players in crucial positions.
Not just on the line.
You don't pass these players up b/c you think there is a formula.
A formula which I have proved does not work.

Ya see what AZ did to Pitt???

Previous #2's:
06 - Reggie Bush (11TDs in career)
05 - Ronnie Brown (14TDs in career)
04 - Robert Gallery (No PBs, Moved to G from T)
03 - Charles Rogers (Currently a Free Agent)
02 - Julius Peppers (Exception)
01 - Leonard Davis (No PBs, Moved to G from T)
00 - Lavar Arrington ("former professional FB player" - Wikipedia)
99 - Donovan McNabb (Exception)
98 - Ryan Leaf ("former professional FB player" - Wikipedia)
97 - Darrell Russell (Banned from league in 01, Died in car crash 12/15/05)

If those ten guys were being drafted today, who would you take above Reggie right now? Peppers? Maybe McNabb? Remember that Reggie is on pace for 10-11 TDs right now and has been splitting carries. Given the track record of #2 picks, I would say that Reggie is a blessing. That's not even counting the exposure the team gets for having him on the field.

Another thing: who are you guys blasting for bad drafts? It's Payton's second season and at last count 4 rookies have started and made impacts with a probability of a fifth this week.

Yes IN FACT I DID say that before the draft during and NOW. Brick should have been our pick. To fix this team from the ground up not just a quick fix that isn't going to last very long.

It's "conscious", not concious.

Tony Mandarich?

I would not go that far

lets look at this from an objective point
Bush is not having a grate season due to the lack of affective blocking not because he is a flop
come on the few times he did get some blocks up front he moved the ball well

I think that the Reggie bashing is getting out of hand

Re: Is Reggie Bush the New Tony Mandarich?

If somehow Reggie starts to come into his own this season, the same schmucks would be singing his praise to sell papers and magazines. When they run out of things to write, they start inventing stories and slinging "What if's". Reggie is a good player and we are better for having him among our crew. Since we lost Duece we are going to see a lot more of what he can do. If we lead him with Karney he's going to break a few...and make a lot of people take notice.

Euph,

While I generally agree that drafting big uglies is a good idea, I have to respectfully disagree here. Reggie eventually will grade out to that once a decade skill player that you cannot afford to pass up. While I certainly would have picked DaBrick over SuperMario, when Reggie became available he was by far the best player in the draft.

Now Meachem is a completely different story. That's the kind of pick you use to upgrade the line. Dude is a complete waste for at least 2 years.
