    i, as a fan wanted to see pickens and DK together. thought it would be exciting to watch.

    the team i think would have liked it as well, but i do believe it came down to he was going to create trouble with one year left on his contract and wanting a long term big money deal, also if not done, we also lose him next year or had to franchise him, which again creates a hold out type situation. so we would really get two years of frustration plus how he does act on the field when butt hurt. not worth it. got as much as they could for what was going to become a bad situation. for possibly two years.

    when was the last time we really had to bring in a FA WR starter? most of ours were draft picks that evolved over the years.

    i know most aren't too excited about our depth but i am. austin can be solid and he is a good punt returner. skowronek has worth as a special team gunner and can be a nice sneaky pass catcher. roc taylor has some game. 135 catches the last two seasons in college. taylor has good hands in traffic. ke shawn williams the same. williams has good hands as well and is a sneaky open type receiver. scotty miller has shown he can make some tough catches and brings that quickness to the position. wilson hopefully shows why we drafted him. :cool:

    He is still coming up here because a few folks still can’t stop complaining about him. I wanted Linderbaum over a quarterback that year, too, but quite a few folks here are blinded by bitterness and the team doing a good job of making Pickett a scapegoat.
    Thompson? Come on, AQL. You know better than that.

    Well Pickett led Pitt to a Conf. Championship and their best season in years for the program. Then quit on them with a real nice Bowl matchup on deck and a chance to finish the season strong. Pitt lost without him. Kaleb led the Hawkeye to a 8-5 regular season and a ****ty bowl game that doesn't matter except for colleges getting a payday. I don`t know about all those other players you mentioned. But I see a glaring difference in both scenarios of the players I mentioned. Johnson had 7 carries in bowl game so he didn't quit.
