I understand sometimes they have to do it but when there is a better viable option it makes no sense. Use them to their strengths as often as you can. That's what really bothered me about last season. We didn't have the OL or RB to do that consistently but they did it anyway.

I wouldn't say that is necessarily 100% accurate. If so, then there is an assumption that College coaches are better at talent evaluation than NFL Coaches?

Marcus Allen - NFL RB / College S
Dallas Clark - NFL TE / College LB
Antonio Gates - NFL TE / College LB
Steve Smith - NFL WR / College RB
Andre' Trippett - NFL LB / College DE
Brian Urlacher - NFL LB / College S/WR
Dennis Franklin - NFL RB / College QB
Julian Edelman- NFL PR-WR / College QB
Dennis Franklin - NFL Return Specialist / College QB
Brian Mitchell - RB / College QB (USL)

Wrong! Sean Payton is the most important.

First of all, let me say that, as an LSU fan, I hate Alabama. I hated Mark Ingram when he played for Alabama. But, he's a Saint now, so I want him to do well.

I predicted, when he was drafted, that he would be the next Deuce McAllister. However, I realize now that there will never be another Deuce, especially with the way that Payton runs his offense. It wouldn't matter if we had Barry Sanders in the backfield, he would never put up more than 800 yards in a season, because of the way RB's are utilized in our offense.

Just my 2 cents.
