If you watch them side by side you can definitely see a resemblance. Roger was better at it at this point because Buck is only a rookie, but time will tell.

I'm not seeing the forte comparison as much other than hes a receiving back. He reminds me more of a poor man's roger craig. They both stand straight up and tend to bounce around until they find their hole. It took Craig about a year to fine tune his running style to the NFL. Here is to hoping the same will be said for buck.

Buck reminds me a lot of roger craig. The way they are both receiving backs of course, but also how buck runs straight up, but can really lower his helmet and lay a hit. I could see Buck joining craig in getting 1k receiving in the next few years if he keeps it up.

I like this mock. Really like the Cooper and Boehm picks.

I thought Simon was a good pick. It was them cutting him that killed me. B-will and Juice save that draft. And yeah you're right 2012 looks worse.

You make very valid points and you are probably right. I still feel as though some of these guys need to work on getting healthy, but I understand it's pretty impossible to get a competitor to understand that.

you say the athlete in you is part of your reasoning. It's the same for me, but for different reasoning. I struggled with major knee injuries and never gave myself enough time to get 100%. I always got on the field/mat as soon as I could because of the competitor in me. Those are decisions I regret because it hurt me more than anything. Doctors always cleared me, but I was never ready. That's where I come from.Point: Competitors aren't capable of making rational decisions and Doctors really don't know or care as much as you'd like.

This is the best counter I have gotten. Bravo. You make very valid points which is what I'm looking for. The only thing I can say to that is sometimes guys perform better in the spot light. Really though that's hard to argue with so with that I'll say if younger guys aren't looking totally liable give them some extra chances. Obviously guy like Arthur Brown haven't gained any confidence, but if guys aren't totally losses I feel we should use the rest of the season as an extra preseason for some guys.

Exactly! It's a business. If I have nothing to lose and have an opportunity to assess lower end assets for possible greater reward than the higher end assets than what I am utilizing at the moment why wouldn't I? It doesn't hurt my higher end assets. They will still be there next season to utilize if the lower end doesn't produce anything. Risk vs Reward. There is no risk, but possible reward so how is that not a business decision.

Yeah I don't think some people get that we have things we take advantage of with our season being perpetually over. We aren't in this position often so I feel we need to take advantage of certain aspects of it. Having one of the worst records in the league isn't a great thing, but we need to take advantage of it in certain ways instead of business as usual.

If you watch the tape of him at USC he always had pretty good vision. The knock on him was he stands straight up. That hasn't really seemed to be an issue as he lowers his pad level just before impact.

That's actually not at all what I meant. I'm saying let some of these guys get to 100% for the offseason. KO for example. He has had surgeries in the past couple offseasons and spent his offseason recovering from surgery rather than getting stronger and staying in good physical shape. It has hindered players like him come regular season. No one in the league is 100% right now, but I think certain players would benefit from taking extra time. What good does having KO play the rest of the season? Maxx needs to bulk up some. His body just isn't ready for this level yet. We know he is going to be a good player. Why not let him get healthy and get him started on a program while the team still has access to him before he heads into the offseason? I'm not saying I'm right or you're wrong because who are we to know. We have two differing opinions and that is fine, but you haven't offered much into how it is more beneficial to keep playing some of these guys other than to bash my opinion without much to say about it.

Like good old Lawrence Taylor. Perfect example of how someone super wired can be beyond dangerous.

Can Arthur Brown play tight end?

Well Boyle is out now so there's that.

Prayers to you and your family. Get well

I love Buck and for whatever reason his running style is why teams stayed away from him. Yes, he stands straight up, but he knows exactly when to lower his pad level. Our win everyone else's loss.

And take away that gut wrench at the end where we could have, should have, would have won if...? A loss like that might actually be refreshing.

I thought Fuller just tore his meniscus? I like this mock though. I think we could possibly trade back a little bit and still be able to nab ogbah, but if not I'd still be happy with him there.

Blasphemy!!!

Yeah, I'm not going to saying he's better, but his numbers are better than Upshaws.

Yeah, and he looked good for us that preseason. I dont know where their heads were at.

That draft kills me. Elam, Brown, Simon who got cut

I'm open to other opinions, but why start a topic and not further the conversation? I didn't start the topic to just make one statement and let that be that. I started the topic for discussion. I think differing opinions make conversations like this worth having. It's just healthy discussion is all. I clarified my stance because it seemed it was unclear as if I was saying bench everyone who is hurt.
