When I first started up here I went DEEP in the red for slamming Cassel for the EXACT things he is still struggling with.

Understandable.

The people who swing the biggest rep sticks around here love Cassel.

I've never understood the fascination with the whole rep thing.

We're supposed to measure our intraweb peniseseses how?

Well, in real life I substitute centimeters for inches.

Beware my 9.

I just checked it and I just went over 300,000

Not bad for being in the hole about 50,000 at one point.

I dont know why I am so fascinated by rep, but I cant look away.

Im gonna miss redrums momma ones.

If Suh and Berry are off the board, we should seriously think about drafting Clausen and holding him hostage to one of the many teams that draft after us that are in dire need of a qb.

This is a draft that is pretty deep well into the late second round annd we need a lot of positions. A few high picks can really help us.

I'm going to guess on some stats in this thread:

1) 25-30% Don't want a QB.

2) 25-30% Don't want a QB in the first round.

3) 10% Don't want a QB in the first round. Ever.

4) Mecca claims the "fanbase" doesn't want a QB.

I'm now going to read through this thread. See you all in 45 minutes.

Yeah, that was suggested last year after we traded for Cassel, and people suggesting it were laughed at.

Now, I see some of those same folks making the same suggestion this year.

If we did that, I might genuinely piss myself.

LMAO

I think I was one of the people suggesting it, although I don't remember anybody laughing at me. But I've slept a lot since then.

I actually hated trading for Cassel, although I was relieved that the pick was only a second and not the first as I expected. Which was actually remarkably similar to my reaction to Trent Green's trade in 2001. Hopefully Cassel has a similar unexpected jump in production in his second year.

Are you laughing at me for suggesting it?

If the answer is yes, I have a question for you.

If Berry and Suh are off the board, who would you take at 3 that we couldnt still get at 8-9-10, or later yet?

...Or did I read that wrong and you were one of the people that were suggesting it last year?

You read it wrong, and the answer is probably Spiller.

Id bet a decent amount of real money that Spiller is still there at 8 or even later.
