Why does Ronnie Brown get a pass because of injury but Cadillac Williams doesn't? Did they forget both men are top five picks?

Okay that was pretty funny.

There seems to be a bit of a double-standard here. Some guys on the list have been mediocre, but they're not busts because they're still starters. Others who have been mediocre are busts if there is any excuse to suggest the team is not completely satisfied. If we did think Barron might be the long-term future at one of the tackles, how would that keep us from being interested in Jake Long?

Clayton came real close to 1,000 yards receiving in his second year. And wasn't Kyle Boller throwing the ball to Clayton most of this season?
