Since the drafting of Ware, I have publicly cried out for his grooming 
( a lonely cry ).  No one had any faith in the man "with the inflated 
stats"  I am finally going to be vindicated.  Eric Hipple?  Come on.
Ware was drafted as a Franchise QB and should be used as one or dumped .
He had trouble reading defenses because no one would allow him to play
against any.  His arm is rifle sharp and his accuracy good.  He has
discovered the joys of passing lanes and runs alomst as well as
Cunningham.  (he's bigger too isn';t he?)
Ware - Sanders - Moore?  Gez, the mind boggles.  A little time to throw
and we may have a winner.  Assuming the defense can go a season without
rebuilding.  WE NEED OFFENSIVE LINEMAN.  I must admit though, that through
the course of the season the rookies have come along nicely. But theres
too many of them.

And the biggest miracle of them al?  The LIONS Blitzed.  You saw it, I 
didn't just imagine it, the LIONS BLITZED.  Who would have thought!?!?!?!
