I am still aghast at our failure to take Mike Williams in the draft this year. I think for me, it was the straw that broke the camel's back after watching Snyder wreck this team and make us the laughingstock of the league by insisting that Jeff George was our quarterback of the future when every GM in the world knew he was a total bum. I live in Southern California and all I can say to the Mike Williams doubters is this. In spite of SC winning it all and sending Reggie Bush and Matt Leinart to the Heisman ceremony, Mike Williams was still the best player at USC last year. This isn't a repeat of the Michael Westbrook scenario. He's not Keyshawn Johnson either. I know Rogers is a good player, but we left a franchise wide out on the table to do it and I think it will go down as the worst mistake we've ever made in the draft. And most importantly, it's going to cost our already anemic passing offense about 10-15 touchdowns a year for the next decade. And I'm still confused as hell as to why we had to trade all the way up into the first round to take a QB who was going to be available for the next two or three rounds at least.
