2008? still too early.

They need to finish one contract. How can you just LM when he was a reserve his first year and missed his second?

You're only saying that because the Bills blew the '08 draft for the most part.

[Don't Panic]

It is a bit early... I think you need three years before you know for sure. I bet a few of those 1 and 2 stars become 3 and 4 stars this year.

no...look back when this has been discussed before...I always say you have to wait out three years or more.
