Do you happen to know what position Brian Urlacher played in college?

Given the bolded, (and i'm going to flat out give you the harsh truth), it sounds like she wants to ride as much pole as she can before she enters the real world. Go out and meet new girls. Have fun. If you and the ex end up back together, great, and if not, there's always another girl just around the corner. I know i'm only 30, but i look back at myself 10 years ago and the girls i "couldn't live without" and just laugh at how wrong i was.

Technically it's 3 TDs in 4.5 quarters, but why bother with facts when your sole purpose for posting is to be a miserable, negative jackass?

What i was referring to is that Bill's been on a "ralph made the pick just to sell jerseys" rant since that draft. That's what he's delusional about. I'm actually agreeing with you in that the Spiller pick was made mainly by Gailey, who made it plain as day he wanted a "waterbug" back to boost the offense. It just so happened that the best player left on the board in round 1 matched with this perceived need. Hence the reason he was selected. Much like Cordy Glenn in round 2 of this past year.

The only place that the Spiller pick is a "question" is in your own mind.

Wrong again. Spiller was ranked in the top 10 prior to the draft. Mike Mayock: #5 overall: http://www.nfl.com/draft/story/09000d5d817695a5/article/williams-jumps-to-no-7-prospect-big-12-dominates-top-10 Scout.com: #8 overall: http://profootball.scout.com/a.z?s=127&p=9&c=12&nid=83&lnid=124&yr=2010 NFL draft scout: #8 overall: http://www.nfldraftscout.com/members/ratings/top750.php?draftyear=2010&sortby=rateall&order=ASC #10 overall: http://www.footballsfuture.com/2010/prospects/ But go ahead and continue to pretend that Spiller wasn't a top prospect in the 2010 draft.

BPA means the best player on the draft board. Jason Pierre Paul wasn't the best player on the board. Not by a long shot. He had 1 decent season at a lower tier school in a low tier conference. There were numerous legit questions about him. HE HAD PLAYED 1 SEASON AT A MAJOR COLLEGE PROGRAM. All of these factors add into why he wasn't the best player on the draft board. He plays a premium position. If he was the BPA, he would have gone a lot higher than he did. As for hindsight, please let me know when the NFL allows teams to re-draft using hindsight. Then and only then can you use hindsight to reorganize a draft board. This wasn't a Whitner over Ngata pick.

You get to keep a young player on your roster (without costing a roster space), at the bare minimal salary, and then you get to see what he can do if and when he's fully healthy next preseason. Edwards and Johnson won't be around forever, so even if Troup develops into a backup/rotational DT, it's definitely worth the chance. You have absolutely nothing to lose and potentially everything to gain by IR-ing him for another season. If he doesn't show anything next camp and preseason, you can cut him them with nothing lost.

No. see my above post about JPP. Saying he was BPA in april of 2010 is a complete lie.

Revisionist history at its finest. Spiller was almost the consensus BPA on the board at that spot. Everyone haf him a top 10-12 pick. JPP was a one year wonder from a small school who had lots of questions around him.

Missing on rounds 5-7 does not count as a bust. League wide, most of those guys wash out after a year or 2.

Rumor I heard was they were after CB mike jenkins from dallas. Former 1st rounder who is now behind brandon carr and morris claiborne.

Seems like Idaho and NM St football really got hung out to dry in all of this conference movement.

The guy's a kook, because there's no grand conspiracy. The SEC is good, and the best conference in college ball right now. But his arguments about polls and rankings in general do have some merit. SEC teams are perceived as good, resulting in higher initial rankings, resulting in more "quality wins" for other SEC teams, even though those teams aren't necessarily as good as their rankings. Every SEC conference game isn't a "tough game", or a "quality win/loss" as some would have you believe. There are some crap SEC teams. To me, there should be no polls released until 5-6 games into the season so we can see what teams really are.

Putting that draft solely on Nix is as silly as putting it solely on Modrak. Nix was the GM presiding over that draft, but you can't ignore he'd been on the job only a couple of months, especially when scouting is a year round process. The completely different strategy in the 2010 and 2011/2012 drafts is what makes a lot of us think that Modrak still had a lot of input in the 2010 draft.

It's how Zack Pianalto got cut last year. Made the final cuts only to be cut the next day after we claimed someone else off of waivers.

If the bills suck thix year, its mainly because we IR'ed troup and didnt cut him.

One could make the argument that russell wilson was actually holding graham back in college, given that graham's best collegiate season was last year.

Why would the jags trade 1 great RB for 2 mediocre RBs?

Where you guys got EJ ranked this early? I can see him going anywhere from the 1st (having an RG III type of rise) to the lower rounds if he holds steady. No question he's got all the tools, he's just got to put it all together, have the "light go on" in a sense. For arguments sake, he's had roughly the same number of starts that Ponder had before the light really went on for him.

So we get to look forward to 8 months of your incessant, 12-year-old childish type posts about Paschall, in place of tallywhacker?

How can they not recognize Jeff Kent when he's still rocking that awesome 'stache? And did you see the juggs on the mormon chick? Wow. Fake, but wow.

The biggest problem is that people don't see that jauron's team was a wheel-spinning 7 win squad. He built that squad to not lose more than 9 games, but there's no way it was going to win more than 9 either. Anyone complaining that Gailey made the team worse needs to explain how the team was going to improve under dickie J. As for Gailey, he did what should have been done in 2006...tear it down and build it properly. Sometimes, that process is painful, and it requires you to take a step or 2 back before you move forward. The shortsighted among us simply cannot see this. If you're going to radically switch defenses, during a massive rebuild would be the best time, no? Or are you implying we should wait until we are on the cusp of the playoffs to switch defenses? The problem wasn't the timing of the switch, it's that they didn't do it whole-heartedly.

The only truth is that billsvet will piss on anything and everything the bills do. He'll leave once we start winning. Look at last year, he was nowhere to be found when we were 5-1, yet he crawled out from under his rock once we started losing.

Michael Jenkins is 4 inches taller than Williams, and Ponder made a great back shoulder throw on the pass. That little push off (combined with the aforementioned details) gave him that extra little bit of separation that made all the difference on the play. On a play like that, the little push is what made Williams unable to get up there and knock the ball down. He was right there, turned, and got shoved. I'm sorry these facts don't fit your preconceived "Aaron Williams sucks" notion, but that's what happened on the play.
