And im personally not very impressed with Either Culpepper (Coming off a shredded knee, his worst career season, and most people dont think he can play without a playmaker like Moss, and dont say Chambers because Chris Chambers cant sniff Minnesota Moss's jockstrap yet), or Harrington (Bust). Not to mention they are probably setting a record of most players with a troubled past on a roster at the same time. lol
Ok, well, getting away from teh bashing of Gametime, I think you will ALL be surprised by Lynch. IMO, he will win Heisman if CAL plays well this year. All of a sudden, all the experts and college analysts are calling Joe Ayoob one of the top QB's in the country because Tedford focused his attention on him all off-season and that jazz. If CAL can play well this year, I think Lynch has a shot at a top 2 pick, because he is freakin amazing. If you have ever seen him play, which I'm sure a lot of you havent, you need to watch him. Its so fun, its like watching Barry Sanders all over again. The guy is freakin amazing. Anyway, unfortuntely, I think you are overrating the 49ers. I mean, history is on their side with going to the playoffs this year, and if Smith can be good this year with the good Davis, and our front 7 can finally support or secondary, we have a shot, but, knowing the 9ers, everyone is going to get hurt, and we will fall apart. In a way, I hope they dont do so well so WE can get Marshawn Lynch, cause the guy is a baller, and him + Frank Gore = domination in the backfield. Even though Calvin Johnson is a more logical choice for them, I'd rather see them get Lynch.

Randy Moss is capable of 1400-1500 yds and 15 Touchdowns in a good season and constantly comanding a double team. While Chambers is a good player and is a bit underrated, he only has 1 1000 yard recieving year (Compared to Randy Moss's 7), 2 Seasons with 10 or more Touchdowns (Compared to Randy Moss's 6) and is just not on the level that Randy Moss is.
Well again, we have to wait and see..All our opinions are going to differ on all of this until the season. I just think the Jags can use a stud every down starter at DE, and if they were to pick at that spot (which I guess is our main disagreement) I can't see them passing on one. They need a WR, but I dont think one in the first round would fit with their current corps.
I love PP. But you're saying the Rams didn't get better this offseason? You crazy, boy. Oh well, everyone has their own opinions.

St. Louis WINNING the Super Bowl?Again, at this point of the year EVERYONE looks like they've gotten better. EVERYONE. Everyone has seemingly filled their holes from last season through the draft and free agency. However you dont know what players are going to get hurt, what players are going to fade away, or in St. Louis' case, what players are going to fail to adjust to a new system. I seriously think Gus Frerotte will be pushing Bulger hard all season, and I don't mean that in a good type of competitive way. I mean QB controversy.And the defense is still below average. The corners improved, but is Fakhir Brown anything more than decent and is Tye Hill too small to cover NFL receivers? Past them there isn't much..Butler is ok and should start I'm guessing.The safeties..I truthfully don't know who your free safety is..And Chavous is ok but declining and this may be where the road ends for him production wise. La'Roi Glover is basically already done but he may draw blockers for Little, Kennedy and (I think) Hargrove so that may be more than enough. Who's going to start at SAM? Chillar?
I hope Baltimore can snag a RB like Peterson. That would be so friggin sweet. I don't want the organization paying Jamal $10 million next season unless he has a 2500 yard season.
If the Bills pick at no.1 they'll find away to mess it up and who can blame them Marv Levy and Ralph ''Waaaaaaaaaaaaa! I don't understand the CBA and I think I just shat myself somebody please clean me, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!'' are pretty much senile.

Wyche was a huge steal in my opinon. I watched a lot of him (being a NFL Draft Expert and Syracuse fan) and he is has a lot of tools to work with. Very good size and frame, needs to add some bulk though, and great speed at 4.65. He is a great DE who takes some plays off at times but still made a lot of plays w/o even trying. He is very average against the run and needs to improve there. But, he is excellent at getting to the QB. He also faced a lot of double teams. I counted him as having a quarter more (in other words for every 3 double teams Wimbley faced, Wyche faced 4) than 1st Rounder Kamerion Wimbley in the Florida State-Syracuse game. I'm not saying he is for certain a steal, but I think he will be and they have bigger needs at TE like a Greg Olsen and C like Kyle Young (OT as well). Also, no way the Jags wind up in the top 10 next year lol. They have a great team and are ready for a run. Right now, these are the only teams I feel have a chance at the Super Bowl (from the AFC):New England PatriotsMiami DolphinsPittsburgh SteelersCincinnati Bengals (If Carson can return at the level he was at last year)Indianapolis ColtsJacksonville JaguarsandDenver BroncosThe Chiefs and Chargers are fringe on that list, but the Chiefs defense needs to improve and Phillip Rivers will need a big season.
The Jags losing Jimmy Williams and Akin Ayodele is going to hurt them bad..Especially with no one ready to step up and take over for them. People havent talked about Williams even after he retires, and I guess the only thing that's going to give him the credit he deserves is the Jags suffering without him. Matt Jones isnt ready to be a #1 receiver and I dont know if he ever will be, although they're showing him Randy Moss tape lately because he does have the athleticism to be a great receiver..I just dont know if he has the tools to be anything more than a playmaker #2 type.
