I heard some stories from a former NFL player on how pyscho Lawrence Phillips was. They would be at some club/bar after a game trying to relax and Lawrence would be so high strung and get mad at some random-Joe if you stepped on his shoelace or something minor like that.

No mention of Len Bias, Chris Washburn, Hollywood Henderson, Darryl Strawberry or others?

Here in Texas we get to see a lot of Reggie McNeal. He is a very talented player who at certain points this year had is top five recievers injured at the same time. I don't care if you are Vince Young, Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Matt Leinart. If you are throwing to the number 6 and 7 recievers on the depth chart you are going to struggle as a QB. These guys can't get open like your one and two recievers can.

Reggie Mcneal was probably a top 5 QB in 2004 behind Leinart, Aaron Rogers, Alex Smith and Maybe Vince Young. Some people in Texas would argue that in 2004 Reggie McNeal was better than Vince Young. I think that Reggie won't go any lower than the 3rd round. He is a good QB and someone will take him because he will perform.

Marcus Vick will be drafted, because their are GM's and coaches who will take a chance on a a troubled guy because of talent. Look at Randy Moss, probably a top five pick when he came out, but because of his trouble he dropped to the late teens.

wasnt major applewhite the starter for most of 04?

2002 - Simms
2003 - Mock / Young (RSF)
2004 - Young (SO)
2005 - Young (JR)

no. that was Chance Mock in 03, by late season Young had earned the starting role.

Applewhite went to NE Pats as a pro in 2002

Applewhite is now the offensive coordinator at Rice.
