Louis Murphy has been targeted more than Bowe.

Louis.

Murphy.

And that's with Oakland having 30 fewer pass attempts.

How do you know that? What if Jackson turns out to be a top lineman?

He'll have to be the second coming Richard Seymour to make an impact.

Not to mention the positions we drafted were mainly D-line (3-4 DE) which take some time to develop. Not like a corner who can come in and be as noticeable immediately.

Donald Washington was a known project as well. Just like Morgan was supposed to be 2 years ago.

Are you telling me that it's going to take a "few years" for a guy that was taken #3 overall time to "develop"?

#3 overall? If that's the case, he's the wrong ****ing guy.




Morgan was drafted in the 2008 draft. By my count (and I could be wrong), that was last year.

So you're implying that just because Tyson Jackson plays the same position as Richard Seymour, Tyson Jackson will have the same impact as Richard Seymour?

Do I have that right?

Who said a few years? 7 games Dane, 7 games.

WHOO!

Matt Cassel is going to have the same impact as Joe Montana!

Not to mention Spears is from the same college and was actually far more productive of a college player.

Don't be a ****ing reerun. I said "How do you know he won't be a top lineman?". Had nothing to do with with because he plays the same position. You guys can be such stupid ass holes sometimes.

Now we gotta pray that Pioli knows what he's doing, because he's basically going about this like the Chiefs are an expansion team (and, at 4-12 and 2-14, they essentially were)...
