    i was thinking saturday how bad Beckwith's stock has to be falling over just the last few games.

    talk about a disappointment.

    our entire LB crew is mediocre as a group...at best.

    Okay, LaFell would be an idiot to leave early. He's a junior, right? He still drops too many passes.

    Also, if he were, how the heck could he be rated above Byrd?

    Beckwith's stock has fallen, and I bet Jean-Francois', Kirsten Pittman's and Tyson Jackson's has too.

    I agree. They are struggling to make plays when they have to shed blocks. Might want to send Dorsey a nice X-Mas card for keeping him free the past few years.

    Have we ever seen a draft list that was so dominated by underclassmen? This is nuts. Where would Jones be ranked on that wide receiver list if he could get drafted? Number 1? Maybe 2 at worst. To think he was playing high school football one year ago is unbelievable.

    Crabtree would still be number one. That guy is flat-out incredible.

    Kiper said that if Jones, Green, and Floyd all came out this year they would be top 20 picks.

    im sure hes not ranked too high in draft lists due to being a system qb, but graham harrell is outstanding.

    ive seen him play a handful of games this year and his ability to check-down and find the open guy is phenomenal. And not just because crabtree draws double-teams as I had assumed.

    he makes his reads very quickly (no comments from the gallery on JL, thanks) and gets the ball there immediately before the defense can react.

    i am very impressed with this guy.

    they fumbled on the opening drive against okie state then proceeded to score 7 straight TD's.

    i need to find his stats the last 2 games against the pokes:


    ok here:

    86 of 117

    1102 yards

    11 tds

    zero interceptions




    2 games.
