Anyone hear from Mecca lately? Or are the Chiefs too good this year?

Yeah, because I'm the only person who's ever been wrong here, Mr. Tony Romo, HOF'er.

:rollseyes:

And FWIW, we're what, 6 games in?

Funny how Tyson Jackson needs 3 years to develop, but some of you are 100% positive that Dexter is the black Wes Welker after 6 games.

Please.

Why's that?

Because I didn't change my mind after the fact like 99% of the board did?

This place erupted after Dexter was taken, and again when Arenas was taken.

Then, after the fact, people changed their minds - just like after the Cassel trade.

I'd rather have an opinion and be wrong than be a flip-flopper.

This thread has some real potential.

We are all wrong from time to time...even the best of us.

The difference is that some of us own those failures (I liked Krumrie, Thigpen and even defended Herm to a point...hell, I am talking about us drafting Ricki Stanzi in the second round FCS) and others act like they never happened and go on clowning everyone else thinking they are deserving of being on some pedestal.

Let's tone down on the "legendary draft" stuff.

This draft gave us some excellent role players. But it didn't give us much at the most important positions: QB, WR, DL, passrusher.

Berry is really the only one of the bunch that has the upside to be a player that this franchise could revolve around.

[OnTheWarpath15]

I do find it comical that those of us that didn't care for some of the picks have already been "proven wrong" after 6 games, while nothing is said about 2009, in which most of us were dead right, at least after 24 games.

So, to recap, Tyson Jackson and Matt Cassel need more time before we can declare them bad picks, but we can declare Dexter and Arenas great picks after six games.

Comical the lengths people will go to pile on people they don't like.

Did you expect multiple picks from this draft that a franchise "can revolve around"

The only person who doesn't regularly own up to their misses is Mecca, and he's much better than he used to be about it.

That doesn't keep people from lumping others in with him.

This place erupted because we had ZERO confidence in Matt Cassel and from that standpoint the ONLY pick was Clausen after he fell so far, and right into our laps. For all we know, Cassel might end up as a damn good quarterback and in the long term, DMC may end up the easy best pick at that spot. Hopefully, that's the case.

Once we got over that, we started realizing that DMC is one hell of a good playmaker and most of us wanted exactly that before the draft.

Hell, he is looking just as good or better as Spiller and some of you (Im looking right at you OTWP) would have been totally fine with CJ at 5. DMC is essentially a smaller, quicker version that we got at 36. Once we realized that, it was all gravy baby.

Lmao who has said they weren't bad picks?

I am impressed with the kid. I will have to give props to Pioli for trading up for him.

I will see how things (and people in here) turn out when he picks an injury.

I dare you to find a post where I was wrong!


That's what I thought.

You keep saying that, but don't bother to remind anyone who had to be off the board in order for me to want Spiller.

Quit acting as if Spiller was my first choice at 5.

[WilliamTheIrish]

We're 4-2. Don't care who wanted what. Don't care who said what. And yes, I thought the Mo pick was bad.

But I'll eat that crow.

You know what's funny? OTWP said that he loved the fact that the Lions chose a playmaker (J.Best) over a need. And the he gets mad that we chose playmakers over our needs.
