AZ gotta steal with Matt Leinart with the #10 pick.

denny green does it again by taking the best player left on the board.

[onlooker]

That offense sure is shaping up to be a good one. How is their offensive line?

Didnt figure to see him fall to 10, but from 3 to 9 didnt really need a QB. So yes, Arizona got good value in that #10 pick.

TGO, what's with all the hate for the Edge? It wasn't his choice to leave Indy, was it? He did his job and never complained despite being tagged and previously underpaid. Polian squeezed every drop of value from James, and Zona is left with the husk. I don't blame James for the playcalling in the Pittsburgh loss. James should have been pounding that rock against a susceptible Pittsburgh run D.

TGO, I am afraid to ask, but what are your feelings towards Marshall Faulk?

Cardinals may leave behind their losing ways with the move to the new stadium.

Offensive line couldn't possibly be as bad as last year.

[Illusion]

Staying an extra year at USC cost Leinart about 15-20 million in guaranteed money.

It's more nerves than anything else.

For once, i just wish it could be about something more than the money. The fact of it is, Arizona is a place where running backs go to die. He had a good thing here. He knew this would be a competitive team. He's never going to win @Arizona. That team is still years away from getting to the playoffs. All they have is him and 2 receivers. Everyone else on their team sucks.

It was all about the $$. it's easy for me to say.

If I was a GM, I could easily get it done. We use him. Give him his log term deal he so desperately wants. backload the hell out of the contract, then cut him in about year 3 once we know we have a replacement in place.

Polian made the same move he made with Marshall Faulk, IMO. Faulk went to St. Louis and maybe spent the most productive years of his career there. Edge has a some tread left on his tires, but I think his value is around the same as Emmitt Smith at the end of his career, around two years before he went to Zona. Lots of value in those legs, and maybe James will repeat Faulk's exploits in Zona. Time will tell.

They just interviewed Polian and a few things he said made me grind my teeth. Polian is counting college carries as "wear and tear" on a RB. Give me a break. Polian is way overvaluing tread wear on RBs. He got rid of Faulk way too early, and we'll soon know how much tread James has on those tires. My gut is starting to twinge that James might have a lot of spark left.

I know zero about Addai, besides what Polian just said about him. Polian picked a winner with James. As a Colts fan, "In Bill we trust." has to be my mantra. I don't have much less to go on. I see Razz is down on Addai, so I am quite conflicted. hahaha

Arizona stoled Leinart. Cards offense will be awesome now. If they could
play some run D they could be a worthwhile team.

I like what Green Bay has done. A.J Hawk and Charles Woodson on
Defense. Got a good OT and WR from the draft.

[imgv94]

How did Maroney get picked over DeAngelo Williams??

[imgv94]

Also like what the Browns have done.

[Dark Horse]

Anybody wants to take a 10 to 1 bet (in my favor) that the Cardinals will be in the Superbowl in the next 7 years?

[slacker00]

But, the panzies in New England intentionally just do that. They didn't have high picks but they've got the #2 RB and #2 receiver in the entire draft. All without a high pick.

Makes me sick. Gotta give them credit though.

The Colts window of opportunity is slamming shut sooner than later. Last year was our best shot. This year is gonna take a Steeler-esque miracle for the Colts to get Lombardi. I don't think the Colts can go into New England or Pittsburgh in January, and going into Cincy or Denver in January doesn't interest me either. Indy needs the home field, but they've shown they can't protect it. That Steelers loss really was a major blow for this franchise. All of my money is going against Indy this season. I have no faith in this team.

I would of loved the Colts chances with DeAngelo Williams. I think the Colts
are just too much of a finesse team that is why they haven't won.

I know my Rams team were a finesse team as well but Kurt Warner was
possessed those years!

[slacker00]

The Colts had a good power run game, but they left the tractor in the shed too much of the time. I guess they wanted to put the team's destiny more into Manning's hands. History shows that kind of plan doesn't win championships.
