When BMW was coming out of college.. he was projected a top 4 overall pick...

then the NCAA stepped in and made him stay out a year...

he still gets picked high..

my point is...

I will bet that you were right along with everybody else talking about how good this guy could be...

well he sucks...

point being.. it doesn't matter when you are drafted.. or if you are drafted...

you could be a bust or a success either way...

but if you wanna be pi$$y and get upset that people are talking about an UDFA like he might make the team and contribute..

have a blast, realist.

Furthermore...

you could look at every member of our roster and call them bums...

or you could have a fun time with it and look at them all as superstars...

does it really matter?

again.. no.

so.. let the people have fun talking about who ever they want.. however they want.

why dont you just do like me and ignore the whole thread if you have such a hard time with it?

I dont.. I dont care if he is cut this morning...

But it is fun to talk about players that look good and imagine them being Raiders greats...

it's just good times on a message board...

sorry we cant be "real" like you all the time bro.
Everyone can look good on a youtube video. Hasn't that been proven already. Would you like me to post a falg football video of myself on Youtube so you can dream of me becoming a Raider great?

What?

When did I say anything about YouTube?

I did not...

I hate youtube clips.. I hate highlight clips of players... they all look the same to me..

I never said anything about the highlights... so what are you talking about.?

I am talking about freaking out on folks just for saying a player looks like he could be halfway decent.

That's such a tired argument. Sure low draft picks can become great players and high draft picks can be busts but odds are overwhelmingly in favour of the early round picks. Check out the Pro Bowlers in past NFL Drafts. Here is 2004 for example:

2004 NFL Draft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
13 first rounders have made the Pro Bowl along with 7 from rounds 2-4. Only 1 Pro Bowler in rounds 5-7 and it was a punter, punters have to be really good to be drafted in the first place.

The NFL GMs and coaches that draft and evaluate these players know a lot more that we do. That's why I don't believe that a random guy having a tryout will be a good player. There are plenty of SIGNED Raiders that we can talk about.


What if someone posted a thread saying that he/she believes the Raiders will win the Super Bowl. It is a possiblity, but highly unlikely. Do you think that most people would agree with that poster?

The situation with this player is similar, the facts suggest that he will not make an active NFL roster, but it is still a possibility. The only difference in this situation is that everyone is excited about the guy.
