I believe Marino and the Dolphins support this argument better. The Lions never really made it to above average status.

Exactly the point. Mr ga-terd wanted to postulate that draft for the long term is what 'successful' teams do. Some times 1st rounders work out, sometimes they dont. He wants to think just because TT was a good college player that it will translate to a good pro player and that isnt the case.
The point is drafting is a crap shoot. They want every player to be a long term success. You dont draft in hopes of trading them in the future.
They could have got him in the 2nd round for alot less money. Big risk for a potential return on investment
No. Jumping in because your argument about the NFL fell apart so you switched it.

Interesting how both are attacking the only argument that I supposedly made, yet both have different perspectives.
Y'all let me know what my point was and then I'll post so you can bash away.
pretty sure the gators got an F when he signed with us too, seeing how he wasn't going to be able to succeed against against sec defenses, wouldnt succeed as a starter, couldnt throw, etc. lol. howd that work out?
i'm gonna go pull some '06 threads to see what you guys were saying when he became a starter. should be good laughs. you all are sure some football gurus.
Many NFL teams pride themselves on drafting players in the first round that have a good chance of never being an NFL starter.
A few NFL teams choose to draft players in the first round that have have been GUARANTEED long, successful careers as starters and All-Pros.
Those are the more successful teams.
Come on, that's too much. He was a great player, but there've been guys just in the last decade that've been at least comparable. I said he'd do well in college from the get-go and obviously he did. That said, this was a terrible draft pick. I'm not sure if he'll do well at the next level, but there's obviously a great deal of doubt out there. This was clearly an overdraft.
No. The point us about when the draft happened given the near unanimous apprehension.1. "That said, this was a terrible draft pick."
2. "I'm not sure if he'll do well at the next level ...."
Does anyone else besides me see a contradiction in unequivocally saying picking guy was stupid and then in the next sentence saying you don't know how he'll do?
I don't think that's really a contradiction when you're talking about a 1st round pick. The 1st round is usually not the time most teams roll the dice on a project unless your name is Al Davis.Does anyone else besides me see a contradiction in unequivocally saying picking guy was stupid and then in the next sentence saying you don't know how he'll do?
