You certainly don't know that. And, there is risk in any first round draft pick.

To say otherwise is Rtarded.

Shocking revelation. Got anything else, Holmes?



So, you don't care what the talking heads/me think but you make claims that they will both have GREAT NFL careers.

I guess you make lots of miney off the draft?

Seriously, why so jealous of my wealth Greggy? I will never apoligize for working my arse off and as a result becoming financially secure.

You can stomp and bully about how Decastro is a much better player than Zeitler, in the end you will be either right or wrong. It appears to all of us you are staking your reputation on Decastro being awesome and Zeitler not being awesome. Fair enough, we get it and we can look at the end result in 5 to 10 years. So for now, it is all lip service and opinions with no fact basis to back any of it up. College is college and nowhere close to pro football. If the talikng heads were so great, they would pick the top 10 players out of each draft (how they end up, not how they are drafted). But truth be known, they have as many misses as they do makes.

Show me how many sacks A. Smith gave up in 2011 Greggy. A. Smith is on his way to being a dominant right tackle. Mark it down.

And if they both start and DeCastro breaks his neck on the first snap, it's an even better selection - especially when you consider that the Pro Bowl is just a game of names. Which is why professional NFL analysts will tell you Andrew Whitworth is one of the best left tackles in the league but is constantly snubbed by the Pro Bowl voters (i.e: dumb fans who only vote for names they recognize).

Edit: Indication, not selection. I'm only paying about half attention to what I'm typing.

Stunning conclusion.

False.

I'm stunned you and Steelman don't get what I'm/whatever/****** are selling.

Wait, no I'm not.

Yeah, a little more extreme version of my example but sure. My point is you don't have to wait 3 years to see who is a better player. Now, who ultimately ends his career are a better selection - well, you may have a point there.

Also, remember fan voting is only part of the (probably now defuct) Pro Bowl selection. And, I don't think the fans have anything to do with All Pro voting and he hasn't been recognized there either.

He's a fine player but he's not one of the best.

Of course I know what a prospect is, but some of the comments in this thread are not considering them prospects. IF De Castro turns out as well as Pouncey did that will go along way to help the offensive line. I just worry about Pouncey staying healthy.

All Pro players are determined by the Associated Press and various sports writers; people who make their living pandering to the larger fan bases. Based on that fact alone, I'd say that the All Pro voting is even more snubbing than allowing the fans to vote - you're not going to tick off the people who pay your salary.

The fans have as much say in Pro Bowl voting as everyone else. Per Wikipedia (I know, I know - but I'm not writing a term paper here):

Currently, players are voted into the Pro Bowl by the coaches, the players themselves, and the fans. Each group's ballots count for one third of the votes. The fans vote online at the NFL's official website. There are also replacements that go to the game should any selected player be unable to play due to injuries. Prior to 1995, only the coaches and the players made Pro Bowl selections.

But I digress; my original point was the fact that this thread has more than run it's course and it's becoming a shouting match between you and Luvnit2.

It's not really a shouting match as much as me continually punching him in his e-face.

I'd rather argue actual football (albeit it college) than those threads.

You've convinced me to go into a self imposed lurking mode for a while.

Because if you paid complete attention to the crap you type you would have an urge to smack yourself.

Yeah, I went way overboard with my "homerism" even though I never said DeCastro played better competition. Obviously, based on this crude method of judging them as players, they basically faced the same level of competition.

And, couple the fact that I'm actually saying DeCastro is a better prospect. Which just about EVERY talking head will agree with... Yet, I'm the one being a homer.

BTW, are any of these superior B1G DTs doing anything in the NFL? I saw Odrick has 6 career sacks (same as Tyson). I know you used that as a negative against DeCastro.

And, it looks like Liuget plays over the LG in his video. I'm surprised you didn't care to mention that like you did with Price.

You see, the bad thing about being a homer,and that's that facts tend to work against you

. Keep scrambling.

No. ppl are dropping ultimate decisions based on certain scouts.
