Also, Ive put alot of thought into it, and I would trade whatever we had to for a chance to draft Reggie Bush. I like Jordan, but I think hes overrated and he certainly isnt reggie bush. With that said, I would use the rest of the offseason to focus on the offensive line........I dont even care if this means we don't add one single player to our defense.......thoughts?

Where do we get the money?

We'd better be damn sure. he's a stud for sure but he's so skinny and frail looking. God, I'd hate so see him get creamed. That's my only problem with the prospect of giving up so much for him. I think we still take a hit from Collins even when we lose him don't we?

yea but i think its only like a mill.......but we save like 11.9..........i understand your concerns about bush, and that is why I think it would be so important to make sure that we also address the O-line, but wow if we could ever do that, we would have a GREAT offense for years to come.

Damn, tough...but why does it just feel like I don't give a **** at this point?

Don't agree on Jordan being overrated. He's only getting the ball 19 carries a game and our o-line has been real bad. With all that he's still gonna rush for over 1000 yards and have 75+ catches, that's not too shabby in my opinion.

Bye Norv

The return to greatness will soon be possible

I didn't see the report on Turner. It boils down to this: his teams lose. As far as the side subject of Bush (don't know how we got to Bush from a Turner Fired story but), we are not going to get Reggie. It be better to deal with it now - we have to find guys that can tackle Reggie. He's going to be running for the other team, whoever that might be.

I think over-rated might not be the appropriate term. I think it's more like our expectations were too high with him. I've seen a post that compared him to Bo Jackson - not even close. When considering Jordan, we have to remember that he couldn't unseat ol' man Curtis. I think our expectations were too high with Lamont. I know mine were. He's only the third best back in the AFC West. L.T. and L. Johnson are better backs than him. (Side note: I think L. Johnson is going to be tearing it up these next couple of seasons).
