IDK man you're claiming that you supported a lot of players when you were very critical of some during the draft and you just flat out hated others like Chung.

I did support alot of players. And I'm still not fond of Chung. Alot of the players we drafted I hadn't heard of. Brewster,Hodge,Brandon Williams. I've cooled down from then and now support them because they are Dallas Cowboys.

I did not nearly think how legit Jason Williams was going to be as I do now. After seeing him in action has really got me pumped about him. If I said something about him during the draft it was because I thought he was taken too high. I liked him, just not ready to compare him to Patrick Willis at the time.lol

I can dig it since I feel the same way about the people we drafted except I've heard of Hodge before. But yeah the Willis comments are a bit much. Hopefully, by like mid season Williams will be the nickel LB and maybe the starter I'm really high on this kid and fee; that if we just through him into the fire there's no way he wouldn't produce at the same or higher level as carp or brooking.

I like J Williams an awful lot too... but I don't see him playing nearly as good as Brooking will this year. Maybe Carpenter, but not Brooking.

I've said since watching J Williams college clips that the guy looks like he's shot out of a cannon. His burst is phenomenal, he's all over the field, and on top of that he has a knack for causing fumbles. Watching him in the first two preseason games has only confirmed that.

I think he's going to be a good one. He's too athletic and too bright not to succeed.

However, he's not going to replace Brooking this year, barring injury... although I'd love to see him get some playing time this season.

I'm going to create 18 different drafts next year involving every player we MIGHT take, and then when one of them does good I'm going to link to my draft that involved him and tell you all how money I am, because it matters.

That's kind of what I was thinking. Some of these guys said they liked about 200 of the 300 guys in the draft. They have a 66% chance of hitting on someone.

lol I never said I took credit for Jason Williams. Just refuted when someone stated I didn't support them that's all. Props to Bob for being on his jock before.

+1 to Bob.

Never once patted myself on the back or Jason Williams.lol

If you really noticed. Ron Brace,Sean Smith and Louis Delmas were my prized possessions and people I put on a pedestal. I take no credit for the others. But I boast about Smith,Brace and Delmas and rightfully so.

I liked 30-40. ;)

Some high prospects. Some low prospects. Big deal.

He may get a lot of reps against SF to show that potential since Carpenter has poison ivy (or oak), especially if it's in or near his eyes as one poster had heard.

That would be great. I'd love for him to be polished enough to unseat Carpenter this season, but I doubt he will be that quick a learner.

If he does somehow do it... then we likely have a real winner on our hands. I know he's got the athleticism, but he has a lot to learn.

Yeah, I know man... I wasn't really talking about you. You pretty much picked your guys and then stuck to them, which is good.

No worries.

Have you ever created a draft before?

I agree,. My only point was that he should get a chance to flash his potential. Not that he would be starter ready.

If he gets any more, I'm afraid time and space will begin to collapse.
