True then, true now.

Cadillac Williams does not belong on that list, but compared to Derrick Harvey, he’s practically a Hall of Famer. Though being injury-prone may keep Pouncey from being a truly dominant center in the NFL, he has only missed two games in his entire career. Harvin has headaches and can be a bit of a knucklehead, whatever; still a very good player. Ronnie Brown was one of the better tailbacks in the league for the better part of the last decade, and “is known as a wildcat rb” because he invented the term “wildcat rb”. His athleticism and versatility is what introduced the entire league to the idea of a “wildcat”. Oher may never be a HOFer, but he is still a very solid tackle, and there was a movie made about him.

Even if all those guys were busts, which they are not (not being destined for Canton is not the same as being a bust), is this really an argument that needs to happen? Because not only is it stupid, but it could go on forever:

Joe Namath, Patrick Willis, Jevon Kearney, Emmit Smith, Karlos Dansby, Jeremy Maclin, Jamal Lewis, Richard Seymour, Aldon Smith, Darren McFadden, Marcus Stroud, Jerod Mayo, Alan Faneca, Shawn Alexander, Patrick Peterson, Dwayne Bowe, Arian Foster, Stephen Davis, Ben Grubbs, Patrick Willis, Justin Smith, Demeco Ryans, Johnathan Joseph, John Abraham, Chad Clifton, Dunta Robinson, Champ Bailey, Bo Jackson. Boom. I’m out.

Majority of them are not able to contribute early and the trade that Jacksonville made with Baltimore was the start of the Jaguar’s downfall!!!!

They went to the playoffs with less talent than others, but they shrunk the opportunity to get more talent with that trade!!!

I hated it. Felt like desperation. He wasn’t that good at Florida. He was just what they had at the time. I hope he didn’t blow that $60k. Why on Earth would a cheapskate like Brown toss $60k his way?

Not surprising at all. The SEC just churns out bust after bust. Yet, somehow, the NFL seems to get it. Year after year, teams keep picking guys like Cam Newton, Julio Jones, Matt Stafford, Cadillac Williams, Marcell Dareus, Chris Samuels, AJ Green, Joe Haden, the Mannings, Maurkice Pouncey, Ronnie Brown, Percy Harvin, Eric Berry, and Michael Oher… When will they learn?

Gene Smith and his predecessor, Hrris, are clueless on personnel. When the owner gets past his obligation that he retain Smith this first year, he fires hi;him, and then the new GM comes in to clean house, then we’ll all stop laughing at you.
