Davenport is exciting as hell to watch and he is an impact player when he is on the field.

Remember ya'll. He didn't have a substantial injury history before coming here. I thought and still think it was a solid gamble. I've always said that Davenport will make us forget the cost but injuries might have to make me rethink that position. I hope he gets his unrelated injuries in check this year.

Rugs, look back through my posts, I believe I've made a strong case; this roster would've been even more talented, and we'd had cap space to boot...

Consider this, please - look at the previous post, could you imagine if we'd had Sam Hubbard opposite Cam Jordan the last two playoff tournaments while Davenport was out? Consider that.

And I'll repeat what I said about injury history; there's some great talent in the non-Major Conferences...

But when you have players (SEC, ACC, Big10) who play 10+ games vs other future pro talent, you can check for durability as well as talent...

And I genuinely like Davenport and am as frustrated for him as anybody, but it's the constant reaching that's killing us...

	It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...
