No way.. you're looking into this whole youth and potential thing too much.
Jason Peters is bullshit. He gives up 11 sacks and goes to the pro bowl. I want players, not reputations.
Leodis McKelvin had a solid rookie year. Didn't start very many games. Too small to play press coverage. A "youth and potential" pick.
Nick Barnett is the biggest cry baby in the game of football. Overrated, and even Packers fans will admit it when they come post on our Bears board. Plus he was tackled and man handled by a 60 year old official. Again, I want players, not reputations (especially a rep for getting owned by an official)
Keith Rivers had great promise, but only played 6 games since he got his jaw broke by hines ward (a wide receiver) Sure he could be great, but again its another "youth and potential" pick. He's essentially a rookie, and playing on a shitty defense.
If these are all the awesome players I'm trading then yes, I will trade these awesome players for the likes of Shawne Merriman, Demarcus Ware, Luis Castillo, Tony Ugoh, etc...
For the record I'm not mad or offended, just my two cents versus yours pesty
And pm me about cutler if you want...
