Draft

All I think this guy is saying, and I tend to agree, is that the team needs to look beyond stats for a change(something many people on this board could stand to do) and draft someone with a \"fire in his belly\" AND talent.

good enough reason to stay far away from crowder...I think he is a very overrated back who has underachieved his hwhole career-isn\'t that what we are trying to get away from?

If I had to pick between someone with a little less talent but a huge mean streak and someone with a lot of talent but shows no passion, I\'m picking the first guy.

you just described the bio of Ruud and Mitchell..

And like I\'ve said before, Duece has supposed to be injury-plagued too. He\'s a freakin RB with a history of knee problems...that is a recipe for failure if there ever was one. Looks like he\'s doing ok to me.

yes he was injury prone in college-and has been in the pros as well. he is extremely talented..but has IMO motivational issues...but is a significant upgrade over the bride dress wearing, pot smoker....

crowder played for ron zook and left when zook was canned...in several games that I saw him play in he looked lost most of the time and teams ran plays AT HIM..including Miss St. which is arguably the worst team in the SEC -who by the way--beat florida handedly.

It is widely speculated that crowder left because 1. he wouldn\'t see playing time under the new coach--who reportedly hates lazy players, and 2. his character concerns were worse than reported...which could have kept him off the team...
