As the season is now among us starting tonight, who do you think qualifies for winner as the biggest idiot of the offseason? (no not your neighbor or relative - only an NFL personality please )

Michael Crabtree edges out Brandon Marshall, IMO, way ahead of the others. Crabtree has yet to play a down in the NFL, but he's already willing to sit out a year because he thinks that someone will pay him *more* next year? He thinks being out of the game for a year, with a proven and unprecedented willingness to hold out for unreasonable money, is going to make someone draft him *higher*? At least Brandon Marshall waited until after he had an NFL career to really trash it.

Crabtree far and away, with the others there is at least a possible upside to their antics, his his actions are just idiotic. It would be poetic justice if the league institutes a rookie salary cap before next year's draft and he's stuck making the league minimum as opposed to the much bigger money he could get by signing right now.

maybe Donte Stallworth or Plaxico Burress

Which makes me wonder if WRs encounter a disproportionate amount of off the field trouble relative to other positions.

Ralph Wilson/ Dick Jauron. Nothing like signing a 35-year old wide receiver on the downside of his career at the detriment of signing a serviceable offensive line. Did I mention this particular wide receiver is the biggest cancer in the history of professional sports, and your quarterback is nowhere near the other ones he ridiculed? Oh, by the way, let's go ahead and fire our offensive coordinator a week before the season and run a no-huddle offense because it's "cool."

Jeff Lurie/ Andy Reid. Finally. A team without controversy after all these years, a slew of weapons for Donovan McNabb, and sigh of relief that everyone is happy and ready to focus on football. Surely there is nothing at this point that could destroy our chemistry, right?

Al Davis. A 30 year old 300+ pound defensive linemen with 9 years of mileage, injury-prone, with one of the worst agents in sports. Let's make sure that, first, he doesn't fit into our 4-3 defense; second, he doesn't want to play here; third, we give up a first-round pick in a year where there is an expected draft cap so we would not finally get value for one of our draft picks. Also, Darius Heyward-Bey is really fast, so let's grab him at #7.

Favre. Just because he is a friend of Mangini.

I hope he gets hurt.

Crabtree without a doubt and handsdown. He's losing an important part of any NFL'er's growth and development and risking losing an entire year of play towards FA status for no obvious financial return; plus, he's getting a reputation as not just a malcontent (there are plenty of guys who've gotten that reputation, rightly or wrongly) but as not knowing how to operate in his own best interest.

Favre's playing with house money; Rex Ryan is posturing (wrongly, IMO, but he hasn't slugged any of his players or coordinators yet); Marshall isn't worth the bandwith.

Just saw that another poster added Plaxico. Yeah, he might take the all time NFL Idiot Award (admittedly hard to earn); in fact, he might retire that Award with Oak Clusters and those other thigamajiggies.

I know it sounds self-righteous and I'll FLAME myself for saying it, but it's bad Karma to wish injury on a Player from another team, even one as self-absorbed as Favre and as classless as he was with the crackback block last week.

Now I'm throwing salt over my shoulder and promising not to step on any cracks until Tommy gets through the season unhurt.

My vote goes to that whiney little beatch with the million dollar arm and the $2 brain... Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Jay Cutler.
