Re: Appel's pick of the day - Corey Dillon

Many sellers made a killing with Plummer. Going in to this season, how
couldn't he be better starting off the year as a Bronco against weak
opponents? Of course the idiots who buy hot cards would be jumping on
the bandwagon like they always do. What I took exception to was your
line "Like Plummer last season, Dillon is a stud trapped on a pathetic
team" Plummer hasn't been a stud since his days at ASU. He certainly
hasn't been a stud in his first 6 seasons. Dillon has been a stud on a
garbage team every year he's been in the NFL. There's the big
difference.
