    I'm not sure whether you can fault the injury guys.

      Even when Carter came back a year later from the injury, he was crap. After a year, ACL injuries usually heal up fairly nicely. It's the multiple knee ligament injuries that get people into trouble.

        Carter wasn't even in the league of badness that were Leaf, Bruce, or Rogers. If he'd been a seventh rounder, everyone would comment on how close he came. Not so for Leaf. He was spoiled and stupid. Of course, the draft is always something of a crapshoot -- one bigtime draft choice, Ernie Davis (60s timeframe) died w/o ever playing a down.

        In terms of hype and hopes associated with a player, Rogers will be a Bustmore-level player if no one picks him up and turns him around.

        As to the first weekend, the real questions in my mind are:

        1) Will the Redskins snap out of this?
        2) Will San Diego maintain the pace w/o Brees?
        3) Is it really, finally, NO's time (see Brees) or are they just hyping us one more time?
        4) Think Houston regrets its decision related to Bush? (This one screams "yes;" however the season really has to be played to see how bad.)

        More questions will arise, but these will occupy my mind the first couple of weeks.

                        You've given in to the man. Let's go start a football thread in the gameleague forum...

                          What about David Klingler, Andre Ware, and Andre Smith? Three high draft picks who produced nothing.

                            I think that this will go down as one of the all time bad decisions, right up there with Bowie over Jordan.

                              Todd Blackledge should also get some consideration for Mt. Bustmore. He was a QB, taken by the Chiefs with pick 7 of the 1983 draft. They took him over Dan Marino and Jim Kelly.
