		<description>Thanks Ghost, it&#039;s good to be back.  That series at your website  on the young stars and flops looks like a great idea.

Regarding Bulger, I am aware that the line has deteriorated steadily over the last several years, and probably is a prime reason for Bulger&#039;s lack of success. However, the Rams do have their stud LT now, and aside from the anchor, usually the remaining parts of an offensive line are not super high draft picks. Perhaps, they choose a QB early, and try to acquire a few other linemen in the offseason or draft. But they do have to solidify that line ASAP. 

That&#039;s funny that Mr. draftcountdown loved Quinn so much. I wasnt aware of that!  He does have a thing for top quarterbacks, along with so many other draft guys. Quinn was getting a  lot of good press before the draft. Probably because he was a Notre Dame guy-meaning the press loves him. Todd Mcshay was big on him too, if i remembet correctly.  Oh, well. It is an imperfect process, I guess. 

Good point on, Romo, too. As I said before, I think he is a good quarterback, but is having a mental block.</description>

		<description>Hey, great to have you back, David. Enjoyed the article—it certainly gets the ball rolling on some important discussions that teams may already start having. Here are my thoughts on some of the points you raise:

1. I&#039;ve actually been more impressed with Jason Campbell as a pro than I ever was when he was a Tiger. That being said, I didn&#039;t think he was worth anywhere near a first-round pick coming out of college. The feeling I get with Campbell is that he isn&#039;t going to win many games for you. He doesn&#039;t turn the ball over much so he could probably do alright on a team that had a defense like the Ravens or Steelers, but he isn&#039;t a difference maker. On a related note, as a Cowboys fan, I hope he stays in Washington for a long time. =)
2. I enjoyed the shots at Brady Quinn, as he was given far too much love from the hype machine coming out of college. I know Scott Wright of &quot;Draft Countdown&quot; fame was one of many who used every superlative in the book to describe this guy as a pro prospect.
3. The 49ers have a good thing going here where they could draft a quarterback next year, and then let him sit for a while to learn the game. The team has shown that they can win in the meantime with Shaun Hill under center (a la the Kitna &amp; Palmer model in Cincinnati).
4. I&#039;m convinced Bulger&#039;s game going south is a direct result of his awful pass protection over the last few years. Now, I don&#039;t know if the line is any better this year (allowed 12 sacks thus far), but I would want to be sure that it is improved before I threw a new young gun behind it.
5. Romo will be fine. As soon as he qualifies for the record books by throwing 1500 career passes (which he will probably reach this month), he&#039;ll be in the top three in passer rating and yards per attempt ALL-TIME. Those are two very telling statistics as far as quarterback play goes. He&#039;s also currently number three in winning percentage among active quarterbacks behind only Roethlisberger and Brady (both multiple Super Bowl winners). As someone who can still recall the gloomy days of Chad Hutchinson and Quincy Carter tossing dead ducks to the opposition, I for one am very thankful to have Romo in Dallas.
6. JaMarcus Russell is playing the worst football of any quarterback in the league today. Now, as to how much of that is his fault, I don&#039;t know. I am pretty certain that Matt Ryan, Joe Flacco, Mark Sanchez, and Matthew Stafford would all be playing worse in Oakland. The team has the worst owner in football, and the team is a direct reflection of that fact.</description>

		<description>Jason Campbell is one of the top fantasy quarterbacks this year. Of course touchdowns are more valuable than interceptions. He&#039;s available in my league if any wants him. I picked him up when my 2 qbs had bye weeks and then dropped him.</description>
