#3 No I didn't appeal to authority I just pointed out that you act as if you know more, which is fine... but why then, don't I know just as much?
Parker and I disagree on this topic but guess what... he isn't a smug condescending arse about it. So far my track record on predictions is kicking yours to hell... Basically, it isn't that by disagreeing with Parcells you are wrong... it is just funny that you act that people who disagree with YOU have no clue what they are saying...
AND FINALLY... you have yet to produce a post of mine from last years draft that didn't prove true. Still waiting on that (my memory may have failed me here, but I think I have covered all that I said)

1) almost impossible to get data on offensive linemen though. do you seriously ever remember the cornerstone LTs getting consistent help (aside from the occaisonal chip against the pro bowl passrushers)?
2) eh, it really depends. the pro bowl is also pretty much a popularity contest. do you really think there weren't more qualified guards than brian waters? do you think roy williams (safety) would have made those pro bowls if he wasn't a cowboy? do you think it's any wonder the best teams in the league have more secondary guys who don't put up great stats going to the pro bowl? more exposure, the teams tend to be more popular, etc. there are a LOT of guys who get in the year after a great year, even if their current work wasn't great. hell, a lot of cornerbacks make the pro-bowl despite unimpressive stats (when qbs don't throw their way a lot). reputation will get you a long way in the nfl sometimes.
