Well he had to be negative for the mindless Hall rant.

Why do people keep saying this stupid shit? Drafting in the top 5 doesn't mean you'll get a "game changing" player. So many game changing players have been drafted out of the top 10.

its been happening ALL season. i dont see him getting double teamed much, he hasnt been able to get consistent pressure this season and needs to add some diversity to his pass rush. he has definitely hit a wall this season imo. kerrigan has outshone him.

I like what you bring to the table NC. But apparently you're unaware that every game changing player ever was drafted in the top 5.

Yeah well the chances are statistically higher when drafting in the top 5 of each round

I was pretty outspoken about Hall when we signed him. I thought he was an average CB and was a locker room "cancer" type. I don't know about him as a bad teamate...I think he's been pretty good here in that regard. I still think he's an average to slightly above average cb.

Landry? Just what exactly has he done to deserve a new contract? He's got plenty of potential. But I don't know that he's done much to deserve a big contract.

Let's see your stats.

Paintrain · 12-11-2011, 08:45 PM

Hall.. His attitude, effort and production have all been severely lacking for most of this season. I understand being frustrated, but after clearly committing a penalty to throw the flag back at the ref is immature, selfish and unacceptable. I think he's playing his last games for us.

Rak, where you been bro? You're validating the point of those who say you are solid to good but not great and disappear for long stretches. Raise your level.

Santana, catch the ball. Nuff said.

Me, because I was happy we played a competitive game, was thoroughly entertained but not crushed by the defeat because I have visions of RGIII dancing in my head and we are no worse off than we were at the beginning of the day in that regard.

Not saying all the players in the top 10 are always better but yes top 10 talent usually ends up better than later 1st round picks

skinsfaninok · 12-11-2011, 08:54 PM

If you can sit there and say you'd rather have the 15th overall pick instead of the 5th you'd get laughed at

I want you to go back and see how many top 10 picks the Steelers and Packers have had, and then compare that with how many top 10 picks we or any other bottom feeder team has had in the past decade.

The only stat there is when it comes to 1st rounders is that they have a longer life span in the NFL. Now stop and think about that. How many times have we seen first rounders hang around all because they were a first rounder? Had Jason Campbell been a 7th round pick, do you think he would have been given 5 years? Alex Smith? Joey Harrington? Then look at the "project' type QBs/players and see how long they get. Not even a fraction of that type of time.

There are no stats(or none that I have seen) that say there is a higher chance of a "game changer" in the top 5 of the draft as compared to the back half.
