Brian said:Well, someone posted in another thread that people were wrong to point out that Andre makes no plays. I started thinking about statements I made early last season about that very subject. Rather than post it there, and be accused AGAIN of "piggy-backing" on someone elses thought, I figured I'd start my own thread with those old posts.
This time I was heckled for devoting "a whole thread" to my "goal in life". That's petty, but it's cool. I've got no problem with that.
I know why...He likes this topic because he learned long ago that it is a hot button topic. He feeds off the reaction and I'm sure he was tickled to death that I spent as much time replying as I did. I don't really care what Brian thinks. I'm just going to go waste my time on some other thread so why not this one. I really haven't got a legit problem with Brian and I've posted to that effect. Sure, I've called him out on the carpet but he's smart enough to always leave himself an out. Whatever. I believe Andre will prove himself on the field and I'll eat these guys if I'm wrong...KamikaZ said:Who said he was wrong? I was simpily curious on why he'd make a thread on it.
Not to put fuel on the fire here but this simply isn't true if you put any faith in the majority of mock drafts out there at the time. Many draft sites, including our own mock at goTitans.com, had us taking him. Most were concerned he may not be there when the Titans picked. He hasn't been close to living up to expectations but you can't say he was much of a reach, IMO.wg53 said:What's the problem? He just spoke the truth...that draft has been horrible. Woolfolk sucks despite what his uncle says. He wasn't 1st round material when he was drafted..and was a major reach. Calico was a workout warrior. And Brown while good at times is fragile. Better options were available in each round and Reese reached with all of them.
Jeff that would confuse too many people. I just admitted that I was wrong about wanting Woolfolk in 2003. If his play forces us to "think differently a year from now", then I'll have been proven right on my original mock. I'm a conservative guy Jeff...I don't like to 'flip-flop'.TitanJeff said:Injuries have set both back in their careers and I think we'll think differently a year from now on these picks.

I was not for the Calico pick mainly because I thought the Titans should have taken an OT. I wanted Wayne Hunter that year in the second. He's played two games in three seasons for the Seahawks. Not a lot of value there either.
Maybe the Dominick Davis pick would have been better than Brown in the third but go back and tell me who you would have taken over Woolfolk and Calico. Hindsight is 20/20.
Personally, I think too many have give up too soon on both of these guys. Injuries have set both back in their careers and I think we'll think differently a year from now on these picks.

Probably because at that time anything Bob Stoops did was considered genius. Fact is, Andre has world class athletic ability, but wasn't a good enough WR to make a difference at Oklahoma. Stoops tried to get something out of that ability by moving him to CB. He probably did, but Andre didn't play either position long enough to get completely exposed. He has now. Live and learn. Draft football players like Reynaldo Hill and Vinny Fuller.wg53 said:it still boggles my mind how a WR/CB tweener that wasn't that great in college to begin with becomes a first round pick.
As if the rest of my post made no sense.TitanJeff said:As if we know what Vinny Fuller can do.
