re: James Laurinitis

I'm not a big fan of his but wouldn't mind him. He looks more like an inside guy but probably could handle WLB. When considering a first round pick however, changing a guys position and hoping for improvement may be possible but usually not the most prudent idea to get the most out of your pick. In this year's case I think we are looking for immediate impact more than project type picks.

I would feel a whole lot better about him at #20 or so downward. I don't see the impact projection to justify #14. A CB like Davis, Smith, or Moore would be much better risk/return picks IMO. The only LBs who grade in the first half of the 1st Rd to me are Curry and Maualuga.

On JL- Go visit some Packer boards. They think Hawk is a wasted pick. Generally rated as "okay" but nowhere near Top 5 status.
I'm not much on using football stats to justify player status either. Running up numbers against Big 10 schools doesn't mean much. Ya gotta use your eyes. Graham Harrel ran up some big numbers but looked pathetic last night against all upper crust competition.

I didn't realize Florida, LSU, USC, Texas, Michigan 3 times, Penn St., Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, & Mich. St. were pitiful opponents

uh, the only thing is in those games (when playing top competitors) they lost 41-14 FU, 38-24 LSU, 35-3 USC, 24-21 TX, 13-6 PNST. Michigan HAS turned pitiful to rebuild. Ill, Iowa, Wisc, Mich St, couldn't compete with the big boys either. More like SC, Kentucky, ot TN in the SEC the last few years.

Trading down really seems ideal this year. best case value falling meeting need to me would be if one of the Top 4 OT's made it to #14. Raji might be a cannot say no choice there too. Ellis 'n he could have Vikings Williams x2 or former jags duo of henderson/Stroud potential.

Keep working hard, and maybe things will turn up to the point where you can afford to make it to LSU's next big game.

As I stated before in this thread before you decided to jump on board & start your shite, I was at the last NC game & would have been at the 04' NC game, but I was already working hard so I could afford to go to the NC game in 08' by buying tickets from a legitimate broker instead of an ameteur thief like yourself.

He had a BCS record 18 tackles in that game & had it not been for him LSU would have rung up 70 points on OSU

the quietest 18 tackles ever

all he did was jump on and ride jacob hester down after he picked up 6 yards

the other LB freeman was a stud though

That wasn't your point.

Your point was that we should spend top dollar on Vilma, and play him out of position. Here is your quote:

quote:

---

Who says Vilma has to play the middle? Conventional thinking, which is the only thing Groundhog Day Gibbs was any good at, says a guy has to play a certain position a certain way. That is what losers do.

---

You then attempted to point out that San Diego drafting Gates was evidence to support your opinion. Of course, Gates wasn't a high draft pick (you didn't realize this) and wasn't even a draft pick at all (you didn't realize this either).

My point is that it would be pretty risky/dumb to invest top dollar in a free agent and play him out of position...or similarly, spend a first round pick on a guy and immediately play him out of position.

You can disagree with that if you want, but at least try to keep up with what the argument is.

As for the other crap, I find it funny that you are still insulted that some people wanted to charge market value for tickets (like myself) when those people paid market value to obtain those tickets...as if you were special and were above it. We all know it was about money. We all know that you just didn't want to/couldn't spend the money. That's ok. I know a lot of people who chose not to spend the money. I hope things turn around for you. Let me know if I can help in any way.

As usual you have taken things completely out of context like the dick you nust insist on being. I said Vilma could play outside or Laurinitis could play outside or for that matter they could play in a two linebacker set with out even needing another LB because they both have so much ability, they can cover tremendous portions of the field. You are the one who insulted their ability by saying they could not, Absolutely COULD NOT play anywhere but where they had played in the past. Like I said before & will say again, you are nothing more than ahit stirring moron & deserve no more replies.

That's what I said. And, I think it would be dumb to pay Vilma the money he's going to command and then play him outside.

Holy shite.

No, I suggested that if you are going to invest in someone as a first round pick...or a top flight free agent, then they should play at their natural position. If that doesn't fit your team, then the investment should be made elsewhere. It's a pretty reasonable opinion.

For some reason, you seem to have a tough time comprehending this point.

& I called you on that dickhead. I pointed out that the Bears drafted Urlacher

---

I don't see Laurinitis as having Urlacher type athleticism. Nevertheless, if a team thinks Laurinitis can play two or more positions equally well, the obviously it makes sense to draft him for either position. That is a player specific decision.

However, you seemed to be saying that good players in general can play out of position. I think that is a losing proposition when you consider the amount of cap invested to get these guys.

The bottom line is you are shithead that saw my thread & wanted to stir shite

You think way too highly of yourself. I posted because you adamantly said that losers don't consider moving Vilma outside. And personally, I think it would be pretty dumb to pay Vilma the money he's going to require and move him outside.

FYI, these were some of your comments to me simply because I disagreed with your opinion. Aren't you like 50 years old or something? How is it that you are not embarrassed? And you wonder why you don't make enough money to afford LSU tickets?

It's because you are a classless, uneducated little man who can't have an argument without sounding like trash.

This is true. I don't care how many tackles he had in that game Lester, he gave up an easy score and that's what counts. He has been unable, IMO, to take over in big games. He can do well againt the Slow10 but shite Highsmith looked all world against tOSU.

If we pick him I'll hope for the best, just like I do with Weggie and Meech but they still arent worth the money yet.
