But in all, this draft class could be the 3rd best ever behind the '83 and '96 if not the second we will see in a few years but wow it's starting to look 2 good 2 be true I meen have we ever seen a better draft class of RB's you have guys that look like super stars in Run DMC, Johnathan Stewart, Felix Jones, Chris Johnson, Matt Forte and you have others like Ray Rice, Kevin Smith,Steve Slaton that have shown some flashes that they can become big the only RB who hasn't stepped up is Rashard Mendenhall, who many of us Cowboys fans were really upset whe we didn't got him and now we can't be more glad of our front office decision.

You have rookie WR's that are looking like 2nd round steals James Hardy, DeSean Jackson, Eddie "Casino" Royal, Jordy Nelson and a lot of names could add up in this list if some of the rookies get some playing time, You got TE like Martellus Bennett who can become and would be a super star if he didn't had Witten in front of him, guys in the secondary that have show some good flashes like, Brondon Flowers, Mike Jenkins, Akib Talib, Rogers DC,Leodis McLovin, Kevin Phillips and Chris Horton have all shown potential then you have guys in defense like Jarod Mayo and Derrick Harvey have made plays early on.

I mean you can look all around this draft class and find top players and potential superstars it's just amazing the sad thing about it is that usually when a draft class is this good the next one will suck big time so sorry for the first round pick

Whose Kevin Phillips, do you mean Kenny Phillips?

yeah, it is hard to crown a class the best class ever this early on.. alot of players do good their rookie year and then flame out.. If all these rookies that have shown flashes can be consitant and have good years next year, then i can maybe start to think so.. it takes a while to see how good a draft class is, you def cant base it off two games.

He was terrible at throwing the long ball. Everything was a line drive. I was complaining to my wife that Moss never had enough time to adjust to the ball. I mean, how many times did we see Moss wide open and Campbell threw it with such mustard that Moss couldn't get to it? And the pass in the corner of the endzone last year (I don't remember which game) which ended the game because he threw it on a rope (short distance but same idea) and it got picked off. If he was so good at throwing the long ball, why was our first TD pass to a wide receiver last year so late in the season? And did our receivers get so much better at running routes the moment Collins came in?
That said, the pass to Moss last week had a nice arc to it. I hope he keeps it up.

This "might" be one of the best drafts for RBs ever. But only time will tell.

not a single long ball without an arc.

his short stuff has always been line drives, and not as accurate as his long ball, so no, it's not the same idea at all. that was a known issue when he was drafted, and he's gotten a lot better at it, but generally you don't touch pass inside 10 yards since it's pointless and speed is the key there.

as far as the offensive woes - new offenses take time, and gibbs didn't like calling long balls either... portis and moss were also playing like horses%^& through the beginning of that year.

ther's also a difference between overthrowing/throwing hard and whether it's a touch pass or a line drive. ramsey threw straight up line drives and nothing else... ever. just cause you overthrow someone doesn't mean there's no arc.

seriously, i'm not sure what you've been watching. got video? youtube of the "line drives"? cause i'm just not seeing this huge problem that you are, and no one else is complaining about it either, just you.
