PFW: Boom Or Bust List For 2008 Draft Picks

[Xavier187]

At no point in that post did you refute what I said or prove your point. Asking me if I'm serious isn't an intelligent response. Just so you know' date=' I'm adopted, and I'm laughing at you and your children. Your heart is covered in weaksauce.[/quote']

So you are adopted. well I adopted my 13 year old when he was two. He is american, and by what you are saying people that adopt non american babies have better character then us that do adopt american children. Or they have greater character values.......

I realize the touchness of the situation to you and respect that, but I cannt condone saying one person has better character values because of what region they adopt, and maybe you need to take them burgandy blockers off and read some articles about D Ware and what type of person he is.

Actually, based on what's become of the human trade in third-world countries thanks to supposed do gooders like Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, I'd say those who adopt from third-world countries (by and large) have less character than those who adopt from home.

Certainly anyone who's done such a thing has done so with nothing but good intentions. Still, adopting a kid is a serious undertaking that requires people to do their due dilligence. The unintended consequences of rich Americans adopting poor foreigners is a lengthy and unfortunate list. At this point, I'd venture to say any support lended to the trade does more harm than good.

I agree that adopting, in any form, is equal. My comment about third-world orphans was more of an illustration(and in hindsight a poor one). My overriding point is that my parents character has absolutely nothing to do with them adopting me and everything to do with how they raised me. Do you consider yourself to be of higher character because you adopted?

I never said ANYTHING negative about D Ware. Never. My point wasn't that he is a bad person, it's that he isn't a good person JUST because he adopted a child.

I've derailed this thread enough. Those rankings are a joke and not worth much contemplation. It's really tough to read something that uses the same reasons to support one player but then disparage another.

You cann't take the full blame for derailing this thread, some of it must fall on me. Yes I do consider myself of high character, very high character If I say so myself.

I was only trying to show that the Cowboys had more individuals on their roster beside Tank, Pacman and To that were capable of being good leaders and have shown examples of being leaders.

Well first of all if u notice I talked about the ROLE MODEL PART. Its called reading comprehension.

Ok...how exactly do Ware and his wife become ROLE MODELS for a rookie freelancing on the field by adopting a baby? lol...Is that better?

Its shows his character as a person and a leader to the team.

How does adopting a baby show his leadership on the team?...

I mean out of a team of 53 men , people tend to pull 3 out of a hat and feed off of that. Well what about the other 50 guys that are doing good things for the team and society, I guess they dont matter in burgandy colored glasses.

And Ware and his wife adopting a baby proves that point?

Yes I do consider myself of high character, very high character If I say so myself.

I think the issue at hand is not whether or not you consider yourself a person of high character, but rather whether or not you consider yourself a person of high character because you adopted a child.

In any case, irrelevant and out-of-place, I suppose.

So Aqib Talib is a bust for being a free lancer and having a bad attitude but Mike Jenkins who has the same attributes will be a boom.

Mike Jenkins and Felix Jones are both going to be backups (Jenkins being a dime back most probably, first round corner who's playing only dime?) yet they are boom but other backups like Mendenhall and Johnson will be busts :laugh:

Chris Canty and his football camp

http://chriscanty99.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogcategory&id=19&Itemid=105

Sorry, but what does a "for profit" camp prove about his character? I'm not saying he is a bad guy or that he isn't a great guy but every Tom, Dick and Harry has a football camp and this isn't something he is doing out of the kindness of his heart. He's charging $155 for these kids to attend a three-day, half-day camp.

24. RB Chris Johnson — Titans

Prediction: Bust

One of the more curious first-round picks, Johnson might be faster than Felix Jones by a hair, but he’s nowhere near the same all-around performer. Johnson might fill a role as a specialist who makes a few eye-opening plays, but there is little chance he’ll be a bell-cow back with his size and fragility..

So it's that extra three pounds that separates Felix Jones and Johnson. And why isn't it a negative that Jones will never be a "bell-cow" back? I still can't understand why Dallas didn't get completely bashed for essentially picking a guy they never plan on starting with a first round pick. Sorry Jerrah, you dropped the ball on this one.
