Barton is a better all around player. The only place I might give Hobson an egde is rushin the QB ... but not by much.
Pace replaced Hobson, I thought he was a reach when Herm took hin in round 2. I was right. Never stood out. He'll probably replace Bailey in Detroit.
It's too bad that the AAFL might not get off the ground. Hobson probably would have been wanted there. Maybe he could've been the star linebacker for the Alabama Alabamians. Tough break, Victor.
Hobson screwed up by having his career year 1 year early on his contract. If he kicked ass in 4-12 season instead of the 10-6 season his name would be "PAID" right now. Glad the FO made the right decision with Hobson...wonder what the hell they were thinking about Thomas then????
