I agree vet min and thats it, it would be nice to have him just to give the starters a breather late in the game but like GTripp said he has to make the team first...

how is a solid 12 year starter a bust?

he'd definately make our roster as the #3/#4 if nothing else, but i'm not sure he'd take vet min... and if he won't, its not worth it on a stop gap.

he took our money once,might be the last shot for him.i dont see anyone giving him big money.i have to agree,even though he has hung around for 12 seasons,i think expectations were alot higher for him

There will be money out there for Wilkinson. He played well here (though not well enough to justify his salary), and he played well in Detroit. He had 79 tackles last year, which would (statistically) rank him above Salave'a and Griffin.

I don't expect to see him in burgundy, but he'll play next year if he wants to. Let's not throw him on the trash heap of history.

I think it's fair to call him a bust from the perspective that he never lived up to the enormous hype surrounding him when he was the #1 overall pick.

That being said, he has been an above average DT and has had a pretty decent career with some flashes of brilliance here and there.

I'm not sure we even have a big need for another DT at this point. We've got a lot of versatile guys who can play multiple spots along the line.

In addition to a lot of promising rookies.

exactly, I'd rather see us develop some young guys rather than bumping one of them for Big Fatty

Was it him or Stubblefield who used to wear a helmet so tight that it looked like his eyes were gonna pop out of his head?

TheMalcolmConnection · 05-23-2006, 09:05 AM

I know That Guy disagrees with me, but I have this feeling Montgomery will be something special.

I also really like Montgomery. However, if he or Killings ends up being the 3 DT this year, that could be an issue. One or two down the road, he will probably be in the starting lineup...maybe....we can always hope.

TheMalcolmConnection · 05-23-2006, 09:43 AM

Sweeeeeeeet, 2-1!

dmek25 · 05-23-2006, 11:50 AM

hell in that case gilbert brown should have been all world

That Guy · 05-23-2006, 07:04 PM

5th rounders turning into starters is strictly a bonus - it should never be expected. The most likely low rounders to be successful are the ones that fell at the last minute (havner, matua, wright (if his off field problems get fixed), etc). his chances are lower than that group, but it happens every year... it's just a matter of talent, luck, and circumstance.
