Booms And Busts

[SteveBsFan]

I hope Cleeland recovers, he boomed a bit to 81 pot... :cry:

Wow, my guys usually drop 30-40 points when they get injured, yours boom up lol.

Then again, like you said you dont' know for sure whether or not he'll recover, he still could drop. I hope for your sake he doesn't. Last year Stclair dropped right around the time he hit 'questionable', so it looks like you won't know for some time.

Still only potential and they're both unsigned, but both my second round recievers look very interesting for the future.. 59 and 60.. not too bad for second rounders..

If he stays where he is at, this team is in great shape for the future, if he drops that is really going to hurt.

I just wish I would get an immediate boom, most of my guys are the delayed type. Its good to see Mueller boomed quite a bit. He actually declined in rating his first couple of years.

I had my eye on both of them, but couldn't move up to get either.

Rico Bailey needs to be called Suave...

[Warhammer]

Jerome Mueller and Deron Markel both saw their ratings increase. Which backup HAR QB did not see his ratings increase? The one we still have on the roster of course!

I just wish I had that sort of luck in drafting WRs, DEs, and DTs.

[Cringer]

One more post in a row and someone would have been suspended for racking up his post count.

[P. Diddy]

Am I the only one a little sad to see no suspensions or anything? I was hoping Earnest Martinez would get kicked of the league for being an illegal or something.

Oakland PD were too daft to find the Glad(tm) bag we planted in his 300C. Or was it his Escalade? Shit... where did we put that shit...? Crap... godammit... I knew I should have fixed that taillight... getting pulled over... talk later... *click*

I forget, but are there any additional booms or busts after training camp?

F you Graybill!

I had thought that he had screwed up my entire offseason by waiting until well into FA to reject my offer and sign with Cleveland, but he dropped like ten pts in the offseason. Blessing in disguise.

Other impressions:

- The Beaver took a little hit. Good idea on the part of Cal to draft Lincoln.
- Brandon Cox seems to be a little bit of a semi-bust, never improving his stats much from his rookie year, riddled with injuries, and now actually getting worse ratings wise.
- With Rocco's ratings falling like a rock and nothing much backing him up, Dakota probaly has the worst QB situation in the league.
- Marasco took a little hit as well. Age, or getting closer to his true rankings?

[VitoStallion]

Guess it is a good idea that I never signed glaser long term

No ding if I cut him..

David

Send him home

[Matt]

OK, I feel like it is on me to stand up for the guy.
Last year he caught 68% of the passes thrown in his direction. Not too shabby for a WR. He caught 36% of our team's TD passes.

2003 excuse - Young QB with Lenny Romano getting equal looks and star RB Eddie G getting lots of looks

2004 excuse - see 2003

2005 excuse - enter Fresno. Hello Briez Manu.

2006 excuse - no real QB, and was part of a running team with the Beav.

2007 excuse - no real QB, and was part of a running team with C money.

Marasco will flourish some day. Right time, right place

[Cringer]

Marasco will flourish some day. Right time, right place

So he is going to Oakland, Houston, or Little Rock? :lol:

[Argot]

Wow! We officially stink on paper. Mediocrity has turned sour, especially with the proposed move to Chicago. I am learning some lessons the hard way, and it appears that I may have weather a number of poor years to get back on track. I have to be careful not to lose future salary cap numbers, but there are going to be wholescale changes in Dakota. I'd fire the GM if he weren't me right now ops:
