I do not believe there are 53 NFL caliber players out there that are going to fill an expansion roster. Your examples do not apply. For the most part these 52 players will probably old vets hanging on one more year and guys that would have been on the practice squad.
So maybe we got a nugget of gold wrapped in a stojan sandwich. This time next year, no one will care and my guess is that he will headline (unless Irvin trumps him ).
So, are the voters idiots or smart? Are they idiots today for not voting in TT, but smart yesterday when they voted in Levy?
IMO, they are idiots, regardless of their votes today or yesterday.
