IMO, if they start winning, all the character questions go away. Also Andre Smiths "character questions" aren't as bad as say...Chris Henry. He has never been in trouble with the law or anything like that. He broke a team rule before their bowl game and showed up to the combine out of shape. As long as he stays in shape he should be fine.

I would agree that his character issues aren't all that bad..It just seems that the bengals are asking for trouble. Remember, this guy is going to be teammates with plenty of people who will be a bad influence on him...

And by the way...who told him to run the 40 shirtless ..lol..

A+ Go 49ers!!

Assuming they have a QB who can get him the ball, Crabtree is going to be a BEAST! Who is the 49ers' QB anyway, Shawn Hill?

Green Bay: A-

I mean, could they really have done any better?

Barely.

I am also partial because i am a Green Bay fan, but I have been honest in the past about Ted's drafts, they weren't always stellar.

I give the Fins a B...Really thought they would take some beef (NT, ILB) but they didn't. Taking two big, physical CB's was a great investment though. Pat White is the deciding factor. If he and the Wildcat pan out, they could change the face of the NFL.

I would hand the Browns an A. Many draft experts rated the Browns draft a lot worse, but i think they got just what they needed.

All in all they scored 11 players, the Jets trade included. They drafted a pro bowl caliber center and 2 starter material receivers on the first day. Defensively they stacked themselves with solid starters, depth players and role players.

The Browns didn't need a flashy star player, they needed solid starters and depth.

That said, they will suck the next 5 years as they have sucked the last 5.....

A+....

How? Why? What voids have been addressed? The Lions draft was soooo f-in predictable, McMillen could have done as good of a job.

Well, Matt Stafford of course. Brandon Petttigrew was a questionable pick at the time, but seeing his training camp videos and what the coaches have to say, he seems like a top notch player. Louis Delmas was a good pick considering Kalvin Pearson, Daniel Bullocks and Gerald Alexander are all inconsistent and not very good. DeAndre Levy will be a good, solid MLB. Whats not to like?

    • Interesting take on Pacific versus Bandon Dunes. I tend to prefer Pacific but it's a little splitting hairs. All four are great courses and really fun to play! My order is: Old Mac Bandon Trails Pacific Dunes Bandon Dunes Though if a little cheating is allowed I'd give Trails a T1. Anyway, thanks for sharing!
    • Eh... what's he going to say? "Hey, I bought a new driver. It's 10 yards shorter and I hit twice as many OB now." Does he have any data to back up his claim? Or is he just going by what he saw at his fitting?  I've been using either Shotscope or Arccos since 2018 and if there's one thing I've learned is that it's the archer not the arrow. When I'm hitting the driver well, it goes far and straight. When I'm a mess, it's a mess.  If you were properly fit for a driver in the last (dare I say 10 years) 5 years for sure. I'd be surprised if you can get more than a couple of yards out of it by getting a new one. The COR rule has been 0.83 since 1998, with widespread and standardized enforcement since 2003. Obviously, the engineers can still optimize spin and launch and shaft flex and/or kick point. So there are things that can be done. But I believe the days of 10 or 15 yard gains are over... unless your current driver is unfit for you. (as @Typhoon92 mentions above.) If you were fit for your epic. You will likely see very little on course performance difference.  Having said that, I get a new driver every 2 or 3 years... Why? Because I like shiny things. So, if you want a new driver, get a new driver.   
    • My suggestion to you is to take your driver with you and go to a golf store where you can hit the new Ping 440 AND your own driver side by side.  They you can decide.  Very simple test you can do for free. You have no idea ( and your friend probably doesn’t either) how old his old driver was, what loft it was compared to the new one, what shaft and flex he had in his old driver vs. the new one.  
    • I might be inclined to try to figure out what is bothering them. Is it that their index is 12 but they're only getting 10 strokes? If that's the case then I think I would just point out that their handicap is being adjusted for the difference between par and the course rating. It's adjusting for this course being easier than typical for the par. Course rating being roughly what a scratch should shoot on a good day and par being the sum of the numbers on the card. The whole concoction (which Erik and Dave explained already) is simply a way to get everyone to play on an even playing field. So if everyone plays to their handicap, then they'll all have the same net score. The adjustments are there mainly for those instances where something more complicated is happening like playing different sets of tees, but still apply otherwise. It's also easiest to say "your handicap index is 12.4, which means you should shoot 10 over par to play to your handicap" rather than "your handicap index is 12.4, which means you should shoot 12.4 over the course rating after adjusting for the slope", which is a whole lot of gobbledygook to people who don't know how the system works.
