    Neither was LaDanian Tomlinson, does that mean he sucks too?

    And another thing, back to "Only getting thrown at 1.8 times a game." Why would you throw at him when they gave up 160 yards rushing a game? Just out of curiousity...

    There's nothing left to say here. You said it all for me. Thanks for saving me the trouble.

    Good night.

    Your right, you didn't. I'll rephrase. So DeAngelo Williams is better then LT?

    No, but he's better than LaDainian Tomlinson.

    I'm struggling with how you got that out of my post. On the other hand, I'm impressed that you actually spelled 'vocabulary' correctly, so we'll just call it a win for you.

    Right now Williams is. Absolutely.

    And that's a wrap for me tonight.

    Eight threads about Asomugha, Don, a mostly shaved lion, SyracuseJet vs a bunch of people- pretty good thread(s).

    I shall now retire to my bedroom.

    Ah! B?wakawa pouss?, pouss?.

    And none of them have hit free agency, where they will all get huge raises, way to compare rookie contracts based on draft slots to a free agent deal. Asante samuel was the top FA corner o his year, he' making over 14 million this year, fred smoot will make 8 mil this year, Nate CLements made 11 million last year. Sure the Raiders overpayed some, but your argument is specious, as the players in question ouldn't be signed for he sums you sighted except in the draft.

    As to the ongoing cap hit question it depends on the contract structure, if the signing bonus is spread over the life of the contract then yes the cap hit for declining the option is there, but if the 28 million in guaranteed money is all put in the first 2 years, and the rest of the contract is in salary and roster bonuses over the last several years then no there would not be an increased cap hit on the 3rd year, the Raiders could just decline the option and he would become a Free Agent and the raiders wouldn't lose any cap space
