There's more, like DaKCManAP.

One guy kicked in nice weather and the other in Colorado.

Thats a terrible excuse. Trust me NFL personel people would know if Medlock was mental sick. They were wrong because he cant produce in the NFL. So why did he do so well in NCAA but then the second he gets drafted sucks in the NFL. Where was his illness when he was in college.

How does a man get through life, hell how does he get out of first grade, if he doesn't know the difference between "where" and "were"?

I know. I dont usually pay attention when I type it. Its a habit.

Ill fix them just for you. ;)

Wrong, wrong, wrong.

A couple of people here have inside sources - Medlock is clinically sick.

Mental illnesses can often have acute onsets. He IS sick and nobody knew about it before the draft. It's a fact.

That still doesnt explain how he went from great in college to sucky in his short stint in the NFL. I think your just trying to find any excuse possible to show that you werent "wrong". Have you ever been wrong before in your life? If so where you able to admit it?

He went from great in college to sucky in a short stint because the pressure of the NFL (or something similar) triggered his disease.

It doesn't have anything to do with me being wrong - I'm wrong ALOT and I will readily admit it when I am.

I have to talked to people on this board that know Medlock and are very familiar with his situation - he is SICK and he will likely never play football, or do anything that requires him to be in the public eye, ever again.

And again, none of this HINDISIGHT changes the fact that, heading into that draft, Medlock was the general consensus #1 kicker available.

Let me put it this way:

Medlock was considered by most to be the "sure thing" while Crosby was considered to be the "boom or bust" prospect.

If nothing else, the way it turned out is yet another example of why playing it safe hardly ever pays off, and alot of times actually turns out the opposite of the way you expected.

I was obviously guilty of thinking "safe" myself and therefore, this an admission that I was wrong.

You and I went back and forth over the Medlock thing in the Draft day thread right after he was drafted.......I thought it was a bad pick and you argued that a solid kicker is better than a ST LB or whatever......

A year or two ago, I heard Bill Belichick say that in the last two weeks before the draft his staff is focusing on "horizontal stacks" (i.e., prospects with the same grade but different positions) and ranking them.

I seriously dobut Carl ever thought of that. I'm not even kidding.

And they are. A solid kicker scores points. A ST LB doesn't.

But of course, it doesn't matter if the kicker isn't SOLID, and Medlock just flat-out sucked. :thumb:

How did I miss the discussions long ago about Medlock being sick in the head? What's he, bipolar or something, or does he have the thing Ricky Williams did?

Feel bad for him now.

turned out he was reeruned.....he showed up for a draft workout in a short bus, but no one noticed because he got dropped off on the corner and walked to the stadium.....

ROFL

only problem is, I can picture that.
