i don't think he sucks, but he's definitly getting older.\ndespite not being able to keep up and skate with some of the faster guys out there, he still plays very solid defense.

Darko will turn out to be a very good player, but it will take some time. Even in Orlando he won't become an overnight sensation. Sitting in Detroit for 2 .5 years has been detremental to his development. He'll continue to make progress and eventually will be an all-star. Sometimes it's not really the coaches or the players fault on how a player will develop. Sometimes players are just slower to develop then others. Foreign-born players and big men usually develop slower than other players. Also Darko is still very young. The fourth strike against Darko was that the Pistons were playing so awesome. The Pistons did make a mistake with Darko. They didn't handle his development well and should've traded him sooner before they allowed him to become the joke of the league. Everyone is quick to call him a bust, but those people don't know as much as they think they do. Remember Jermaine O'Neal. He sat on the TrailBlazers bench for a few years and is now one of the best power forwards in the league. The same people that were calling Jermaine a bust are calling Darko a bust. Those same people will also tell you that they had faith in Jermaine all along.

He will make a huge impact because of the added depth at LB, the DL is still effective and they picked up a bunch of guys in the secondary (Sam Madison, Will Demps, RW McQuarters among others) so they will at least have a dogfight of veterans battling for a starting job.  If nothing else, they will have guy with a nasty attitude to keep the guys behind the DL pumped up and focused.  Plus, the WAS games will be even more exciting!

Nene recently got "injured" in today's game and Eduardo Najera seems to be the new designated starter in Kenyon Martin's absence.  Taking this into consideration along with the fact that he is no longer "C" eligible (which you mentioned), makes him expendable.  As for Claxton, many fantasy analysts can see a lot of potential in him as he is a starter for the first time in his career.  It is just unfortunate that he got a minor injury recently, but he should be back in uniform soon.  Maybe it would be wise to give Speedy a little more time and keep him on your team.\n\nOverall, I feel that you should dump Nene in favor of Ryan Gomes who is now the Celts starting PF after recording his first triple-double a couple of days ago.  Added to his is that his main backup--Al Jefferson--just had an appendectomy and is out for the next two to three weeks.\n\nLastly, I heard Jason Williams has started practicing again and should be back next week or the week after at the latest.  Help is on the way!  Good Luck!

I agree with all the above stated answers to a point.  Bush, Young, and Leinart are all good players and will make an impact for their respective teams soon (hopefully).  But two names that aren't on this list that needs to be recognized are Laurence Maroney and Joseph Addai.  These two are the top rusher's for rookies (I believe) and yes they play for two very good teams and that helps, but part of that is skill.  I think ROY will go to Colston, he leads all rooks in receptions, receiving yards, and total TD's.  Not to mention he plays for a very good Saints team.

R. Bush and C. Henry.  NE run D is pretty good.  Cincy D....is non existant.  Henry should do well as long as he is not in jail.

The Texans are 5 yrs old.  You dont build a franchise around a DE...what moron made that decision.  I am not a Bush Fan cause I am a Horns Fan.  But you cant deny the fact that he is a big play guy.  He is a threat at RB, WR, KR, PR and anything else he decides to do.  Young is a great QB but the Texans have aready invested 5 yrs in Carr.  They should have taken Bush and build their franchise around Carr, Bush and Davis....what complete idiot takes a DE with the 1st pick in the draft....whats the best he is going to contribute...a sack a game?

Watch pre-game shows for latest updates. Most  players listed as probable will play, questionable is 50/50 and doubtful, unlikely.Its players listed as "d", day-to-day that is tricky. Just get all latest info and use sound judgement, like is back-up healthy.

I think he has had a young career so far even though he has been playing at a high level for several years.  If he gets to the 10-12 year mark with the same level of play, I think definitely yes.  I am not a Yankees fan, but he is one of the games best SS.  If he stays healthy and plays at this level, he will be one of the games best at that position.

Not a horrible trade. If I'm going to protest a trade, there has to be clear evidence of collusion or someone fleecing an inexperienced player. I don't see either of those things here. Yes, Young is probably one of the best shortstops in the game right now, but Rios's stats are pretty solid as well. I doubt he'll keep them up, but you never know. Young will hit more homers as well, if that's what you are worried about. It's not necessarily a deal I would make, but it's not so uneven as to cause a big red flag. You will never get a perfectly even trade.

He's doing far better than he ended up last year.  I'd say that their team will end up top five in points this year and there's a good chance that in '07 they will be championship contenders.  I'm not a Jr. Fan either.  He's ok and I wish him the best.  Don't compare him with Dale Sr. either.  It's a different and far more competitive environment now vs. 20-25 years ago.

Young is a good building block much like Peyton Manning and Carson Palmer but...a QB can't do it all...They need to shore up their 'D' and look at getting better protection for Chris Brown

Funny you asked that Question. I swear to you no joke, I dropped Delonte West for Thabo  Sefolosha, two days into the season.  West is going to be of no value this year, I know last year he was a decent pickup for guards especially if you needed a quick fix for guys on their days off, but this year HE STINKS, and HE"S GOING TO CONTINUE TO STINK, He's shooting .180 or something from the field 1 steal and 10 assist in a full week of b-ball play.  Plus he's Pierce backup, and h's dealing with back pain right now, not a good option. Thabo on the other hand, his numbers and energy speaks for itself, i dont even have to break it down, he's going to provide much need spark and numbers for a young Bulls team, and though no one will say it ,, he's going to be a better contributor than Thomas this season. \n\nGo ahead and make the drop,

He's a good player (although somewhat undersized) but he's shown last year that he can't be good without a QB to take some pressure off.  Either he's got to have a decent O-line or a good QB in order for him to be great or he'll have to learn to run upfield better than he has in the past.  He's still young though and it takes time to do all of this.  He'll be a fine player.

Vince Young- Strong Will, Athletic as hell.  \n           - Intelligent? Bad workout\n\nMatt Leinart- Intelligent, mobile enough for NFL,a winner\n            - Weak arm, can he win without any good players?\n\nJay Cutler- Mobile, Strong arm, Intelligent\n          - Small School, Hasn't seen many big games\n\nVince Young and Leinart both have a huge miss or hit value.  Either could be busts, but both have huge upsides.  Cutler is a combination of Young and Leinart, and from what I keep hearing he may be better than both.  Cutler will probably be the most consistent producer early in his career (his team will probably be slightly better) and he doesn't have as as much risk of being a bust.  Plus, he has more to prove than Young or Leinart.
