Outshined Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 As a Viking fan, I really don't mind that he is holding out. Seriously though, I can feel your pain as Bryant McKinnie held out until Nov 2nd and he is a fricken offensive tackle. I could not imagine if it would have been a runningback or wide reciever. Everybody thought he was going to go back into the draft because he held out so long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brentastic Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 Yeah, he really shined against those second- and third-string defenses. People who think that Kyle Orton is some sort of super-sleeper never watched him play in college. There's a reason that he wasn't drafted early. 948371[/snapback] Is it the same reason Tom Brady wasn't drafted early? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gijunky Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 so is it time to starting dumping him from the roster? it seems that if he does sign, he'll be so deep in the doghouse that he will never see the field much less have any value. now i know why he was crying on draft day. 948520[/snapback] I wouldn't take that dump yet... I think that once he gets on the field, he will outshine T. Jones and get in the game. They didn't draft him to sit. If he signs before the beginning of the season, I could see him playing a role (maybe even starting?) coming out of the week 4 bye. Also, if Jones gets dinged, Ced will be there, and as long as he can pick up pass protections (assuming they can even throw the ball), he will play.

IIRC, A-Train wasn't getting the rock on a regular basis until Week 5 or so in '01... and that's without a significant holdout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaFreak Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 I heard on SIRIUS satrad yesterday that Benson had sold the two cars he had in Chicago and also put a house on the makret that he had recently purchased. I am a Bears fan and I hope this moron never sees a dime. Let him make his way in the real world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
