HI- Do I sense California Bias? Fargas? No way. Fargas is injury prone and never really panned out-that is why he bailed from Michigan- they had better prospects to work with. I don't think he is durable enough to make it long term. He might peak and have a good showing for a bit, but I doubt he can make it for a season all the way through in the league. The kid is tons of potential that never has and probably never will materialize....
As for Teyo Johnson, the Raiders spin him as a kid with awesome skills and size who can play a variety of roles. However the reality is he is also a lot of potential with little proven experience. Leaving early was definitely not the best decision. Also, drafting any kid that leaves college his Sophomore year who is not a sure thing first round pick is asking to be disapointed... He did not show to be a consistent reliable target, and was not as dominant as you would expect from someone his size...
I think Fargas will wash out due to injury/lack of durability, just like in college I think Teyo does have more promise, I think it will take him a couple of years to develop, I think leaving early definately shows a lack of maturity, and he has a lot of things to learn on the next level before he will be any kind of an impact. I think he also has a high probability of washing out now that he has the cash in his hands.
I am more of a college ball watcher than pro, but it seems all the teams I hoped would have a chance to be strong are showing signs of weakness. Atlanta and Vick is an obvious dissapointment. I thought this would be a good year for the Titans to come back into the picture, but I think Kearse is already saying he is injured, so they will probably be mediocre again. The Bears will never regain the form of 2 years ago and don't have a chance with out a miracle (maybe Rex Grossman will become a star overnight), and with that idiot Stewart at the helm, it only looks bad. Pitts offence does look good, but yeah, they defence has no balls, their backers filled like a bunch of school girls last night. I want to see Denver self destruct with Plummer. Can't stand that guy, make some of the most awful decisions of all time, and I can't wait for the pressure to be on (sure he looks great in pre-season- cause it doesn't matter) I like teams like the Jets or Eagles (though I am a fan of neither) as strong/solid teams to have a strong year. Tampa Bay has got mad talent, but I don't know how long all those egos will be able to reside in peace and get things done. The Dolphins will never win the big one with that wimp of a coach, no matter how many stars they buy him. Bledsoe is another guy that will churn up a lot of yards, but I doubt will ever win the big one.... just not a guy that you can believe in, and I think that is where he falls short. Farve and Warner I think are on their way out. I do expect playoffs if both stay healthy, but doubt if either will ever win the big one again.
I think the Pats and the 49ers are both big question marks, either could be playoff teams, but chances are they will just have a solid showing, and I don't think either has the magic to make it happen. The cowboys will be either really good and make the playoffs, or totally spin out of control and crash, and it will be all do to parcells and his own coaching attitudes and nothing to do with who he has on the field. Oh yeah, and the cards will still suck. With no consistency from O or D lines in terms of personell, and really no wideouts, they don't have a chance. I don't know why the Bidwells even bother to field a team most years....
