With logic tossed out the window for a minute (meaning the argument "if we don't win, no one gets drafted holds no water here!), which would you take, seasons like the past 4 (maybe add a couple of those elusive key road wins), or maybe a bunch of 7-4, 6-5 type seasons, but BG fills the rosters of NFL teams every draft?

For me, I think the allure of sending so many players to the pros can be a selling point, but the excitement of what we've been doing on the field with players as Falcons is too good to pass up!

Maybe there's too much "cause and effect" to make this worthwhile, but reading some of the posts leading up to and through the draft, I started to feel a sense of either "woe is us" or "we got screwed" coming on.

I love to see BG winning and that's another reason I hope Omar stays after this coming season!! However, I would never want to see any of our players lose their chance at reaching the dream they have worked their whole lives to obtain.

I figured it would be, in fact HOPED it would be. Which is why as I wrote it up, I figured it might be kind of worthless, especially with all the cause and effect that put the two hand in hand, but I had already done alot of typing.

Though I do think its nice that the ONE person in favor of average football and alot of NFL picks didn't feel the need to share his/her opinion.

HEY! I HAD to play the Devil's Advocate here. Then Realized, that in voting that way, I was simply trying to help my school out. And that is how it would be taken So, I was afraid for my life.

For the first time EVER, I make up 5% of the vote. I just don't get how there is ONLY 99% accounted for.

I'm really surprised Hawkins or Magner weren't picked late in the draft.

golfer: I appreciate your enthusiasm, but I would hazard to guess you were one of very, very few people surprised by this. No need to go into a deep discussion, as I think this was hashed out in great detail previously.

I almost said, "can't have one without the other", meaning you can't have players drafted without sucess in games, but thats not totally true. Look at Frye, he had Akron as a team, the only Bowl Deserving team not to go to a bowl, and he still got drafted. So I'm gonna say BG winning football, but the nice thing about that is, if we keep winning, then the other thing is also more likely to happen as well.

Funny thing about life... success always breeds more sucess... so if BG continues to win, and continues to recruit ridiciliously gifted athletes to play QB, BG will continue to win 8+ games a season.

What will be interesting to see with Miami and BG in particular is if they can maintain this high level of winning 8+ games a season, as the dark force on the Maumee has done.

Teams can become complacent, hopefully the players and coaches can keep an inferno underneath them.

Dark force on the Maumee, or the shanty-looking school building in the ghetto?

Would you rather...

Would you rather have the seasons we've had, or more NFL draft picks?
