first of all, roping "poorly educated" and "mostly ethnic" together is a little racist there buddy.

second off, New Orleans as a whole is not poorly educated, that is a bad stereotype. In fact one of the top 50 universities in the country, Tulane, is located in New Orleans with many local students. My girlfriend happens to go there, and she is a very intelligent woman.

How is predicting the Colts will win SB 45 a fail?

The Saints have a better passing game, better WR's...equal TE's. Drew Brees is almost as good as Peyton Manning is as a QB.

Nope. daner is right. For proof I submit the New England Patriots. They came close to beating Indy and got torched by NO because NO's passing game is better.

One common opponent isn't proof. Besides, arguing who between the Saints and Colts has a better passing game is like arguing who between the 08 Lions and inagural Buccaneers was worse.

If there is one way to break a stereotype, it's to reinforce it by butchering the English language.

Not you. The "Who Dat?" is what I'm talking about. "Who Dat" is almost as bad as "Who Dey?", except we all know Bengals fans are morons.

Detroit's defense just got a lot better with the signing of Vanden Bosch. Draft Suh #2, fix the o-line and secondary, and this team could do something in 2011.

Is Nate Burleson any good?

---

Well Suh is not a guarentee....could draft Gerald McCoy.

Both are still EXCELLENT for what the Lions need to take the next step in improving their team.

Burlesson is fine, a solid #2 or #3. He's a good return man as well. Kinda fizzled out in Seattle, but so did that entire team. I think he is still capable of something like 50 Rec, 700 yds, and 6 td's...add to that the excellent field position he can give you and it's a good pickup *if he stays healthy*.

EDIT: Tell you the truth...I personally think with the Van Den Bosch signing the Lions would be better served trading down in the draft, aquiring more picks, and taking the best Defensive Back they can get. Their pass D is still VERY suspect. Suh or McCoy are probably the better ways to go but their D-Backfield could sure use a lot of help as well. Eric Berry would sure look nice for the Lions as well.

True, but I don't think St Louis is going to draft him. A team in desperate need of a franchise QB not picking one when the positions is deep is a franchise that will be the second team to go 0-16.

The only problem would be to find a suitor to move up to that spot.

Hey now, not all bengals fans are morons. I'm a bengals fan, and I say "Who Dey" more to make fun of bengals fans that think we are going to win the super bowl every year, then to talk **** to other people.

Either way, I would be thoroughly upset if we got TO, however they are saying we are making a run for Marshall, but would have to give up a first round pick to get him. Don't think it's worth it - we have enough issues with team chemistry and a locker room already to add either one of the above. Either way, would rather have Marshall over TO, but Chad apparently wants TO in cinci. Would rather root for the Brown than have TO in a Bengals Uniform (that may be a little bit of a stretch, but you get my point)

DRAFT A ****ING TIGHT END FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!

Marshall's worth the 1st Rd pick. Just look at the numbers. As for chemistry, imo, Marshall just needs to get out of Denver (and see a shrink to help deal with Williams' murder). Marshall would be fine in Cincy, mainly because it's not Denver, but also because he'd have Palmer throwing him the ball. Having Marshall on the other side of the field would also help Chad Johnson. TO on the other hand, well, we all know what he does to locker rooms.

---

I see what you are saying, no doubt. He has had such a terrible track record chemistry wise in Denver, I just don't want it carry over into Cinci, especially because we can't keep guys from doing DUI's with 2 HSers from my hometown (Maualuga). I know he's a stud - had him on my fantasy team this year. He would definitely bring back the deep threat (that Chris Henry was capable of RIP - he screwed up a lot but it seemed he was doing better, according to teammates, and it didn't help that he broke his arm), as L. Coles didn't really end up producing.

Granted, there aren't a lot of quality TEs this year in the draft that I'm aware of, so getting one first round seems like a moot point, but we need one that can catch the football.

As for Chad, his ability to run the dig route in against Cover 2 is amazing. Plus, like when he had Housh, with Marshall on the field they will no longer be able to double Chad up because that will leave Marshall in 1-on-1, who I feel is more potent than Chad because of the greater deep threat.
