The players are too stupid for their own good. :-[ :P

Just check their Wonderlic scores if you don't believe me.  :P

Lol just goes to show that ignorance, at least in their case, truly is bliss >:D.  But of course, let's not forget the greed factor.  Then you throw in the agent factor, and you have a recipe for a bloody mess :))

Here's a sample of the Wonderlic test: http://espn.go.com/page2/s/closer/020228test.html
FYI...Dan Marino got like a low 13 on the Wonderlic. It shows nothing, IMO, just like any standardized test it can be interpreted many ways.

Well, this could all be in vain...  That is, unless the teams & players association can come to terms on a new CBA.  One of the comments in this story (http://cbs.sportsline.com/nfl/story/9280910) worries me somewhat:

Quote"The overwhelming majority of players who will be released would've been released even if there had been an extension," said agent Mike Sullivan. "Where there is a difference is that there won't be the money for a lot of them to go back to work. That room used to be created by restructuring contracts to create additional cap room, but you can't do that under the new rules."

Sullivan believes the real impact of a stalemate wouldn't be felt until 2007, when the league would enter into an uncapped year where free agents don't become unrestricted until after their sixth seasons -- as opposed to after their fourth years under the present deal.

"You could find massive holdouts of the fourth-and-fifth-year players," he said, "which would disrupt the system."

Could you imagine the chaos if the NFL fell apart?  Lol the beer industry alone would be in ruin :))!  I mean, just look at hockey; they've had to resort to having their games broadcast on the Outdoor Life Network (not that there's anything wrong with OLN).

  Belichick is brilliant I don't think he would want him But the Tuna may
      that is exactly what  Dallas need is a great receiver  although  with brains << But he would not fool around with the Tuna       T Owens would be canned   IN a tuna can  for sure with Bill Parcells and signed sealed and delivered to IRAQ  ::)

  I am a foot Ball nut But I think Dallas or the Patriots may get TOwens
     those would be the only 2 coaches that could  handle him
         and he would have to become a team player Although Patriots do not have
           the Money this year way over the cap ...Dallas does  have the money of course  Who is your team Homer ? this is very interesting ;D  thanks

I think they resigned Carr because they were under big time pressure to draft Young who is from Houston.

I don't think Bush should be #1 either. I see Bush as a Westbrook type player. 10-15 carries a game.

In his college career he only carried the ball more than 20 times twice I believe. In the long run I believe his teammate LenDale White will be a much better RB. In fact I wouldn't mind if the Eagles drafted him. That probably won't happen though. Andy Reid throws the ball 70 percent of the time.

I agree with your Reggie Bush and LenDale White observation.  It seems that there are very few #1 picks at running back who make a carreer in the NFL, (remember KiJana Carter?) and White seems to be more in the mold of a RB with longevity.  I for one think that Vince Young is going to be a fantastic asset to whoever takes him.  The mobile quarterback is one of the most exciting things about the NFL...Kordell in his prime and Mike Vick?  That's entertainment. 

And what about Dominick Davis?  I know he has had his share of injuries, but hasn't he only been in the league for 3 years?  If the Texans take Bush, I'd like to see Davis go to Carolina.
