I say we lost out in much of the last decade because higher-touted athletes could not perform at the level of "also-rans" like these gents. (Yeah, I know Kampman was a fifth rounder. He just fits the idea too well for me to leave him out of that statement.)

Had the QB made the right choice, Hill would have given up a big play, instead he received a beautiful gift wrapped TD.
