I guess we are at a new age when draft picks have to all contribute as starters. I remember when teams never expect draft picks to see the field as starters year one and we are seeing *****ing about this draft? We had like 7 first year players contributing as starters. That is unheard of.

If you're referring to my comments, see my above post.

But in all actuality, there are a lot of rookies who make big impacts nowadays. There was once a time when freshman didn't play in college. We've found out that a change in philosophy has proven that younger players can get it done, if they have that much talent.

Should we expect it from every rookie? Absolutely not. But we should see a little more from the high round picks. That has been rare. I didn't **tch about anything. I've seen enough to withhold my judgement for a while. I've seen all of you guys complaining about this, that, and the other for years. We all complain about things. So now I'm in the minority? I doubt it. People change their tune awful quick sometimes.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
