But you are right, SNAKE made the right call by drafting Westbrook over Parker.

GRANTED THE HEAD TO HEAD FACTOR WOULD HURT BUT I THINK WESTBROOK 14 GAMES CAN NET MORE POINTS THAN PARKER IN 16.

OK Greg, I'll be sure to pass the word to SNAKE. I think what he was attempting to say though was that IF Brian Westbrook, Javon Walker, Ahman Green, Vernon Davis, Jacoby Jones, etc., had stayed healthy, and IF Willie Parker, Adrian Peterson, Plaxico, James Jones, etc. were the ones injured then in his opinion his picks would have turned out to be better ones than the players you compared them to but since his players are NOT healthy we will never know and it's NOT a fair comparison. In fact, IF his players were healthy he would NOT even be writing this as the results would have been "drastically different". He also agrees that there is 56% of the season left to be played and he is not a quitter and plans to fight until the end and ultimately be in The Championship Round, come heck or low water (whatever that means). Oh, and he wrote that he will be back after Sunday's games and to "look forward to him imparting his ever-so-humble FF wisdom on this MB once again". Thank you.

Is my "weekend warrior" prep better than your prep?

The point is you can't draft two players in the top four rounds who have durability issues and then call it bad luck when they get hurt. It should have been expected that both Westbrook and Green would miss some time - certainly Green given his age and injury history.

RUDI HAS BEEN THE "SAFEST" PICK OVER THE LAST FOUR YEARS AND WE SEE WHERE HE IS. SO IT IS REALLY HARD DECISION EITHER WAY. I THINK YOU ONLY CAN TAKE INJURY RISK TO A POINT.

I agree Ormond and just said to Greg that Rudi is the perfect example of bad luck. That's a guy who never misses games and then gets hurt this season. I agree that's an example of bad luck.

I GUESS IF YOUR NAME IS MANNING (EITHER ONE), BRADY, OR FAVRE. (ESPECIALLY HIM) NO ONE IS OFF LIMITS WHEN IT COMES TO INJURIES. ALTHOUGH I DO AGREE SOME ARE MORE RISKY THAN OTHERS.
