    Do you all agree that you should waste a pick that high on an o lineman? Like everyone says one man does not make a team.

    I hope Curtis comes back with a vengance and proves the non believers that he can still play the game. Realistically he has probably lost a step, but knowing Curtis he is probably working his ass off to make an impact on this team.

    Of the last 6 superbowl winners, only the 3rd Patriots team (Dillon) and the Ravens (Jamal Lewis) had an above average running back. The next Emmitt Smith is not a prerequisite to winning the bowl.

    Your right but by building the line with the 2 best OL in the draft we are 2 steps closer to winning the Bowl.

    No, the people crying for a runningback are more likely the people that have been crying for a runningback since before the draft. Plus, this little game of generalizing the opinions of a spectrum of people on the board is bush league.

    "Waste" is not a word that belongs in that sentence.

    I was one that wanted a RB real bad in the 1st round. We were so close to DeAngelo. But we still picked up L. Washington who I think is a steal and can do very well behind our new o-line.

    No the same people crying for a RB are the same people that think we had a terrible draft. It's the people that have no clue about how football works. It's the people that think Reggie Bush and Matt Lienart will be the only good players in the draft.

    After reading numerous attetion grabbing threads started by yourself, you sound like a TOOL.

    Think of a good RB with a shitty oline? Barry Sanders? they didn't win shit and he retired early.

    Look at the Broncos, whoever they hand the ball to is almost gauranteed a 1000yd+ season (last year it was 2 guys)

    You build a strong oline as a cohesive unit then plug a decent RB and will find success, not the other way around:breakdance:


    besides, I think Washington has potential.
