    Say it ain't so! He's the most naturally-gifted athlete I've ever seen.

    I love Tyrann, and he plays with a passion I haven't seen since Laron Landry as a freshman, but Peterson, on physical attributes alone, is simply incredible.

    I think the Chiefs are bound to take a WR. I just hope it isn't one that is a headcase like Dez Bryant was for Dallas.

    in addition to the medical issues with his knees, the other thing is whether he was a "one-hit wonder" last season or not. he was considered one of the greatest DE recruits ever out of high school (the next Bruce Smith/Reggie White), but didn't live up to the expectations during his first two seasons. then he lost both his father and his mentor/close friend before the 2010 season, and that lit a fire under his ass that resulted in a stellar season. but i know plenty of people who have had some big event change their life, and it resulted in them turning their life around for a year or two before falling back into their previous habits

    as for the experts mocking him to the Saints, I hope they aren't doing that just because "someone has to take a chance on him eventually, why not the Saints at #24?" -- but that they are doing that because he provides the most ideal fit of all the candidates for Gregg William's defense

    poor decision? that's a GREAT decision...for Saints fans. He'll probably have a good rookie year, if they let him play, but he'll put the panthers back years by being a bigger bust than jamarcus.

    well, from that angle, i agree with you. living in NC now, I actually like and pull for the Panthers, but not in place of or at the expense of the Saints.
