Andre Smith - In a Free Fall

I honestly don't see the big deal. Combines/workouts are basically worthless. We do know that he's dominated on the field in his 3 years, been far and away the best run blocker, and given up so few sacks that he can count them on his fingers.

All he had to do was work out hard for 3 months and this idiot blows millions of dollars and....and a college degree, wow. Where is Brian Butler when you need him?

But the fact that he showed up out of shape and unprepared for what amounts to a job interview -- twice -- isn't worthless. Not in a league when there are a bunch of guys who basically check out for awhile once they get the big paycheck.

Kiper and McShay released their new mocks today. They both agree that Stafford will go #1. If I was Detroit, I'd go with Jason Smith.
Stafford is going to be a huge bust from the #1 spot.

So did Robert Gallery.

These types of signs are still highway markers on the trip to Bustville.

But I think honestly it will help him to be drafted lower, with some question marks attached to his name. It might actually serve to save his NFL career, energize his work ethic a bit, and make him try harder for that bigger/better contract. If he still gets picked Top 10 with all these issues I think the pressure will mount and he could very easily find his way with a one-way ticket to Bustville.

I have a feeling smith didn't get that much worse. He was stupid... but he is still a beast on the field. He's gotten get picked up somewhere....

Couldn't agree more. Being from Detroit I can be the first to attest that the Lidowns are far and away the worst organizations in pro-sports (maybe the LA Clippers could compare). I am a fan of Stafford, I think he is a good player but he has not chance in Detroit. I am hoping we somehow trade this pick (unlikely nobody wants it) or atleast pick up players that can actually build a team, ala BJ Raji, Monroe, guy from Wake.

Drafting Stafford at this point is like putting in electrical before the foundation is poured. That has always been the Lions motto. Stafford will be doomed with the Lions.

Is there an echo in here? I checked the NCAA Forum and the NFL forum before I posted here.

Since it obviously went over your head I'll lay it out for you...

What about Andre Smith in college or pro has any affiliation with the Vols and thus would belong in the Tennessee Vols forum?
