Is is about a rookie LB stepping up in Buffalo, and that Wilson needs to do the same in New Orleans - no excuses?

Sheppard was arguably the best MLB the past 3 seasons in the SEC... one of the top in college football. He's very polished and is more NFL ready than Wilson. Chavis is one of best coaches in the history of college football and his specialty is linebackers. It's no surprise to see him coming along so quickly.

There's nothing wrong with us developing Wilson at the rate that we are. He's going to get there. Plenty of the first and second round LB draft picks aren't sitting at the top of their depth chart either. No need to rush this and we've done a fine job developing our own.

You'll get no arguments from me, since you clearly know what you are writing about. And after all, I was just trying to guess the meaning of this thread...
as I though that was the point of the obscure initial post.

I know... it wasn't a dig at you by any means. It was a response to the overall implications of the thread.

Didn't take it as one either...

Consequently, I always find all the College info and back-stories very intriguing, and it amazes me at times how much you guys know about
certain programs... their track record, tendencies, etc. I've never been able get excited about the College games - not even when I got my
undergrad in the States... wasn't even interested in our own team. Still I find all the stuff you guys write here about the College side of the game
fascinating on a day-to-day basis.

	Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege. All little common sense goes a long way.
