    None of the big 3 are having a good season IMO. Sophomore slump? I think everyone was expecting big things from VY and Bush this season, especially considering how well they played last season.

    As far as Mario, other than a good first game, he hasn't been much of a factor for us at all. It's frustrating to watch him play.

    Why did you answer with reggie bush talk. What does that have to do with Mario williams sucking? In my opinion all three are dissapointing

    I watch him every game. I am shocked if he ever makes a play. Its sad when nd kalu or another one of those crappy linemen makes more plays then the number one pick. Bush sucking doesnt make it ok for williams to suck too. At least demeco ryans was a great pick

    Hmmm ... Mario has 4 sacks, fumble recovery for a TD and several tackles for negative yardage on RB's. That's not sucking. I mean he's still learning again, NOT sucking! We're not a playoff contender this year so no need to panic. We fix our secondary issues in the offseason and all the sudden with D-Ryans with some blitzes and more creativity with the defensive calls plus another year of seasoning, Mario and 'Mobi will be better.

    Now, check out the heralded Rucker and Peppers combination in Carolina? Would you rather have them or Okoye and Williams?

    Damn, Matt Jackson is starting threads now. I'm fully expecting a "what's in your CD player" thread by the end of the week, Matt...

    isn't Reggie Bush dating Rihana? that's 7 points right there every week.
    he's scoring TDs, his total numbers aren't bad.

    Williams, Young, and Bush are still healthy
    Can't say that for Leinart

    Cutler found himself a good running back.. ironically its Selvin Young!

    As a running back, Reggie Bush is a helluva slot receiver. As a quarterback, Vince Young is a helluva running back. I am not gonna join the radical "intangibles don't exist...its all reflected in the numbers crowd". Vince does seem to perform a little better when the Titans NEED a drive, but honestly that D and running game would make even leftover meatloaf like Kerry Collins look like a feast.

    Reggie and VY can be a cog for the Saints and Titans respectively and can help em win games. There is a VERY long list of skill position players who are just better. However, we are never gonna stop hearing about em, cause ESPN has to have something to ride the jock of when the Yankees and Red Sox are out of season..and Bush seems to be their boy. As for VY, the UT hoard on this board will still be singing along to Bruce Springsteen's glory days and jocking VY when he is 50. And thats natural I guess, if my boy Andre Ware had actually won the Cougars a National Championship, I would probably be an apologist for his pro numbers and would call in twice a week to ride his jock for a while.

    none of the top 3 picks from that draft were worthy of being top 3.

    Titans are 6-3 in the freaking loaded AFC and still 1 game behind Indy for the division lead. So I don't see how VY is having a bad season. He may be in slump lately but the guy can still win games. His receivers are pretty much below average and the talent around him isn't so great like Indy or New England. When you play in the toughest division in the league then you are bound to lose a few games here and there.

    vince has played a season and a haf worth of games. there is hardly any qb drafted in the last three seasons performing well outside of jay cutler. these threads back and forth are ridiculous. vince has a good game, the supporters come out, he has a bad game, now even radio hosts come out.

    i've listened to mattj since he was cougar matt, don't let him fool you, he doesn't want to see vince succeed, part of his cougar envy. everyone relax.

    As a defensive end, Mario Williams is a helluva line backer? ;)

    5 years from now Mario, Vince and Reggie will be known as some pretty average players.

    Man, ain't that the truth? It's amazing, given the hype prior to the draft.
