last year finley looked a bust. this year he's keith jackson.

Only idiots call players busts after one season. finley and others are proof why you give players 3 years to prove themselves.

good thing i didn't call him a bust.

good. hopefully others are learning.

Otherwise a certain HOF MVP QB woulda been a bust.

DRC burnt more times 2nite than toast

Elvis Toast Patterson, CB for the Giants in mid eighties. Tremendous nickname. Mediocre CB.

Its something to keep in mind the next time some sock puppet starts to tell you that teams that draft on potential need to consider production more. He is still the definition of raw.

well, that doesn't work on finley, but we get your point. He had production and was raw.

Some of us are old enough to remember the old school way...players didn't get much pt there first year, and weren't expected to...maybe a first.

and, certainly not the qb. TT played it perfectly with arod.

Unfortunately, most coaches don't have the luxury of letting a rookie sit 3 years....

Who was our resident Ruvell fanboy? I need to have a word with him.

Yes?

Get your guy on the horn and into the Hutson Center to practice those holds ALL weekend!

I cant help but wonder just how bad AR's injury was last year. He looks amazing this year and I have to think that this may be why it appeared that MM had the handcuffs on him. I think we are seeing something amazing here. Franchises never make the transition from iconic, HF'er QB's smoothly. This is great.

Well, we're in an intermission here and I'd like to say I'm happy with what gone on but I can't. You guys are putting up some serious beatdowns in preseason....yikes.....


1) I hereby declare I am worried.
2) I declare you preseason champs.

thing is, drc is a pretty dang good, young cb.

Toast: 10 years in the nfl...mediocre is a bit harsh. 2 on SB winning teams.

True, but Young was established already.

The best metric for success in the NFL out of college is multiple years of starting with production. Finley had production but was only in school two years (maybe 3 with redshirt?-unsure).

This applies to Rodgers as well, who went juco before he got to Cal. He did not have as many starts as typical D1 QB prospects do. Didn't he come out his junior year as well?

As Ty said, T2 and M3 brought the old school sit on the bench and learn approach to bear on Rodgers and this, I think, has largely overcome whatever lack of starting experience he might have had from college.

I'm a little bit concerned about some of the runs they gave up. Just over 7 yards per carry in the first half. Hopefully that's not a heel.

Hard to complain too much when your 1's are up 38-10 in the first half, tho.

Number 2 is just downright mean Ras. You know that from experience

Not really. He was terrible in Tampa. 3-16 record, 11 tds-21 ints.
