    Stafford is making a mistake, he would benefit greatly by staying one more yr. Not only fundamentaly, but financially.

    Financially it won't make a difference. He is going to either be the #1 pick this year or the #5 pick this year. Either way he is going to be a top 5 pick. If he stays, he is still going to be a top 5 pick. Knowshon is a little different. Right now he is the #1 RB in the draft. He could go at 9 or 10. That is unless Beanie Wells enters the draft. If Wells enters, Knowshon could drop to 18. If Knowshon stayed, he would be a top 5 pick next year as well.

    Stafford's main problem right now is that he has bought into his own hype.

    He still makes ill advised throws. I go to most Dawg home games and the Florida game. Stafford leaves us every single game going WTF? in terms of a few passes he makes. Such as in the Tech game this year with the pick 6 that ended up being the deciding factor in the game.

    He still thinks his arm can do anything....including throwing off his back foot most times.

    He doesn't make the right reads....often. In the first half of the Cap One bowl this year he overthrew, or threw into double coverage when he clearly had an open receiver 5 yards down the field if he just checked down.

    He loves the party lifestyle and has come in to camp every fall pudgy.

    He would be well advised to stay and work on these things. Not to mention he will have a solid OL back next year and AJ Green in his second year at WR. It is a HUGE mistake leaving. However, I don't think we will see that far of a drop off with Joe Cox at QB next year because of what I just mentioned.

    I'm not sure Wells goes ahead of Moreno in 2009, let alone 2010.

    Wells
    Positives: Size and speed. He reminds me at times of Brandon Jacobs and then other times he is another Jamal Lewis. He has quick feet and is tough to bring down. He is the prototypical NFL running back. He will be the work horse.

    Negatives: Injury prone.

    Knowshon
    Positives: He is a warrior when he is in the game. At times can remind you of a Barry Sanders, but can lower the shoulders when need be and get a tough yard or 2. Deceiving speed and is maybe the most athletic back we have seen in years.

    Negatives: He gets burned by the faster, more physical defenses. In the NFL they only get more physical and faster. He also has trouble staying in the game. He takes himself in and out of the game, not the coaches. He has taken himself out of the game at times when the team needed him the most out there.

    Right now I would take Beanie over Knowshon. If both stayed....I would think Knowshon goes above him next year. But right here...right now...Beanie goes first. It showed just how much he is missed that when he wasn't in the game, OSU just wasn't the same team.

    I'm glad we don't need a rookie QB because I don't want any part of Stafford.

    I doubt Wells goes before Moreno. I love watching Chris Wells and I think he's very talented but the injury history is troubling.

    Halfback is the LAST position you want to draft an injury prone player at to begin with anyways.

    Err, wasnt Peterson injury prone in college? Thats why he fell to 7th. I think 7 teams might reconsider now ....

    Wells is the most talented back in the draft by far.

    I don't think Peterson was injury prone. And I don't think Wells is the most talented back.

    Just seen Stafford's press conference; he's a chubby faced little chubster. That'd be my first question in Indy.

    Really? Man. I dunno. Beanie Wells...so big, so powerful, so fast, performs really well in big games. Ten cent head but that's beside the point.

    I like the smoothness, the au natural ability he has, decisive once the ball touches his hands, gracefull, quick and comepetitive. Just a greatlooking runningback. nothing against wells, i just like moreno a little better.

    Just seems like runners like him are dominating the NFL right now, Brandon Jacobs and Le'Ron McClain being examples. And I think that straight line comment might be overdoing it. Who knows, that comment could just be the start of disinformation season.
