Is how we don't have our 1st round pick. I bet we'll go 4-12, and give Dallas our number 4 pick.

Losman better be the next Jim Kelly.

It seems like some people still do not understand the full reasoning behind trading away next years #1

The quality QB list in next years draft is extremely short. In fact, may only include 1-2 QBs worth taking. In essence JP is our first round draft pick next year, PLUS he gets an extra year in our system! If he plays during the second half of the season (like many predict) those are games that a rookie we drafted in April wouldnt have been playing in, and experience he would have missed.

I love the pick up. And no matter how you slice it, we would have need to get a QB at #4 next year anyway. Which means MUCH bigger contract for that rookie.

The word is that he's the next Brett Favre.

No, the worst part is watching this team play mindless, lifeless, undisciplined football week after week.

I'm actually looking forward to next year, when Losman, McGahee and Evans - all first round picks - might actually provide some offense.

But we'll still have the same O-line. :cry:

Trade Henry we could get a late 1st rounder?

This is a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation. Everyone knows we need a QB- even Bledsoe's supporters know he's at the end of his career and won't be a starter much longer. If TD didnt' do something to get a QB in the off-season, we'd be kicking and screaming about it now. The only available QB's worth noting were Warner and Brunell, who are both past their primes and overpaid (ie, Bledsoe with a different name on the back of their jerseys).

If TD didn't get a QB, people would be pissed about it. Since he got a QB, people are pissed that he "wasted" a draft pick (and it will probably be a good draft pick at that).

Personally, I think it was worth it- we have a potential QB of the future on the roster (it's too early to tell for sure), and at the very least he may be able to take his rookie lumps towards the end of this season to speed his development. I agree w/Pride- when next season starts, we'll have a QB with half a season of experience instead of a rookie with a huge contract and no experience.

mewelday moore is a scat back.. any rb you put in minnesota's line up is going to do well behind that oline.. that is obvious.. bennett, onterio smith, mo williams, now moore.. and they have another kid larry ned, that would be fine in their line up too..

sorry but no one is going to say.. hey.. we wanted henry, but moore had one decent game.. we are going after him instead.

if anyone can succeed behind that line then why would they pay a #1 for Henry? makes no sense.

even Denver finds new life in Rhueben Draughnes...when it rains it pours...I can't see TD even getting back the 2nd he spent on TH let alone a first.
