What else do we have to go on, or what's more predictive?

Him at central michigan or at the senior bowl, or him week in week out against the best players

It's also disingenuous to assume you know about a situation when you have zero intimate knowledge of the situation.

How is this suggestion for a bit of fun, missing any point? Just an idea.

I'm ok with the approach Dorsey and Reid are taking... yes. I think they did what they needed to do last year to put a competitive product on the field. And this year they are tyring to be smart in order to keep a competitive product on the field for the foreseeable future. I think it was widely believed that Fisher or Joeckel were the best available players and Dorsey picked one of them up to better strengthen his team. Because Fisher isn't all what we want him to be now, doesn't make my stance on Dorsey's direction for the team "mutually exclusive". So far, he's doing a pretty decent job.

He started that thread in August of 2008.

Aaron Rodgers had played in 7 games at that point. If anything, it makes DeBerg look like ****ing Nostradamus...

I've talked on this board until I'm blue in the face about why he was a shitty pick. And I'm sick of spending 10-15 minutes multiple times per month explaining to people why. A bunch of posters are already doing that right now.

Ah, there's the age old "you're not a GM, how could you know" straw man we all know and love...

Might as well shut the board down. None of us are GMs, so there's nothing to discuss.

Then feel free to not enlighten us and waste your precious time. It was just a suggestion using the premise that "if you draft someone 1.1, there should be a reasonable expectation that that player should be among the best in the league" Nothing more. Settle down.
