"And we had already provided the league with every cellphone of every non-NFLPA that they requested, including head coach Bill Belichick." That was what Kraft said in his statement this morning. What else would the NFL need?

Shouldn't you be using SOS instead as your argument about the quality of the SEC all-time? Check out this link from that same site it shows All-time Strength of Schedule ranks. Mich is #1 by a decent margin and the Big 10 has 9 of their 10/or 11 (depending on how you count PSU) in the Top 16...

Besides Drew Brees?

Completion %, rating and ypa all went up from the year before. Of course his TD:INT ratio is pretty ugly. Still, we aren't talking about an offense that has had a ton of surrounding talent either (still doesn't). In reality, Young was probably overrated after his rookie year performance...

Agreed, probably another sign that Garrett plans to find creative ways to use Jones with Barber (ala Bush and Deuce 2 yrs ago).

Maybe an Ark fan can confirm for me, but didn't Ark lose quite a bit OL from '06 to '07 (like 3 starters), and Jones had an even better ypc in '07. The guy seemed to get better every year he was there (ypc improved every year). Plus, no teams respected Casey **** and he definitely was not much...

Didn't Peterson run in a spread offense at OU? I recall him taking a lot of handoffs from the shotgun...

Kind of, technically Brady was the starter. Brady started every game for mich in '98 (henson's frosh year) and '99. Henson played quite a bit (rarely more then Brady), but he never started until '00. In '98, Brady would start and Henson would play the 2nd quarter...whoever played better would...

The ESPN guys were saying the same thing during the actual draft as well?! I have no idea where they pulled that from, but I've watched just about every game Mario has played in and separation seemed to be one of Mario's strong points, not weak points. Mario doesn't have sprinter speed (his...

Mich only ran the zone block scheme 2 out of Hart's 4 yrs. His frosh year was one of his best at Mich with a young team/O line and he had one of his best seasons, wasn't a zone block scheme. 2nd year he was hurt a lot. Hart's biggest knocks are he doesn't have top end speed (he's faster then...

I can't argue with that. Arrington got solid separation, but relative to Manningham it was no contest. It definitely allowed for Manningham to be much more explosive after the catch, whereas Arrington was not as great a yac guy. However, to Arrington's defense Mich threw way too many deep...

As a Mich fan, I actually think Adrian Arrington was better and a more consistent wr then Manningham. For NO to grab him in the 7th round was great value imo. I'm definitely not saying the two will end up as good, but Arrington got overlooked kind of like Housh did with Chad Johnson back at...

Desmond Howard II?

Yeah, luckily for those of us judging after the facts players actually perform on the field to allow us to judge them...otherwise we'd be debating Manning and Leaf right now. Uh, Seau isn't one of the top LB's in the league right now anyways...which his contract shows. Plus, I don't recall...

Since when was the draft a great indication of a player's NFL potential? Heck this whole thread is based on a 6th round draft pick. I'm not going to bother getting into all the other draft busts and "gems" in NFL history...the list is too long. As for your talent comment, I'm going to trust...
