The Rams. You mean the team with ownership problems that couldn't afford to pay his $8 million bonus? How you can't like this signing is beyond me. You're talking about a coverage FS (our second biggest hole on defense outside of NT) that is second in the league in turnovers over the course of the last five years.

While we're at it lets just assume that every SEC athlete is superior to every last athlete from every other college conference. That Western Conference teams in the NBA and NHL would easily make it to their respective championships if they played in the East. And that every player that plays on a struggling team sucks.

If Von Miller is gone when we pick at #10, then look for the Skins to pick Aldo Smith. I am not comfortable with Quinn.

Michael Lombardi's newest mock has us taking Aldon Smith.

The Western Conference in NHL is indeed far superior to the Leastern Conference, and I'm a fan of an Eastern Conference team(not the ****ing lazy ass out-of-shape Craps though)

So we should just discount Eastern Conference teams entirely? Maybe create a league between the AHL and NHL and have them play for the pro equivalent of an FCS championship. Should we assume that the Edmonton Oilers would walk away with the Eastern Conference because the beaten they've received in the Western Conference on a regular basis would teach them how to dominate the Eastern conference? A place where the minimum height is 6'5 and the average slap shot for grinders is a 100mph? Where Olympic speed skaters can only hope to one day skate as fast as Western Conference Hockey Players?

Alright maybe thats not the case, but sometimes this is how I feel after people lecture me about how great the Western Conference is in both basketball and hockey. To me teams are teams. If they're good enough they beat the teams in front of them. Sometimes you end up with a group of teams like the NFC West, but it seems all to often people expect teams to roll over and play dead because they're playing a team that prepared against better competition.

Anyway the original point stands. We shouldn't discount a player because he didn't play for a "winner." Individual players should be evaluated.....wait for it.....individually. From this point forward I will refrain from discussing anything besides the fact that the Redskins have signed OJ. This thread needs to continue being a winner for this forum. Being a winner is important to me.
