I'm going with Reggie Bush, Tony Gonzalez, Vince Young, Shaun Alexander, and Roy Williams.
Any suggestions?

I like all your selections except for Vince Young... I'm not sure I'd bet on him on opening day away against a very staunch defense.

by **Max Power** » Wed Sep 05, 2007 9:03 pm

just from a glance, I would say you are overthinking this...

You need to pick from the gut ;-D

by **Propulsion** » Thu Sep 06, 2007 1:03 pm

Yes, I thought twice about Vince Young also and I didn't include him. The rest of the guys, however, I put 5 bucks each on.

Max Power, I think I am overthinking this. I just don't have the guts to go with my gut instinct. :-D
