The issue that existed back then, was PA having a man-crush on him, as he was starting with more snaps per game, than a clearly superior layer in Evan Mathis.

Again, we make fun of Livings and all the jazz, but they guy was always a decent guard. His situation as to WHY he was playing so much, was the actual reason why we started taking shots at him.

He wouldn't have gotten that decent contract from Dallas, if he wasn't at least halfway good.

That is a good point about PA......I just recall several whiffs, especially in that playoff game in Houston.

Amen to that ocho.....I guess that's why I mostly post sarcastic quips these days instead of full blown, meltdown tirades like I used to.  I used to be WAY more vested in it than I am now.  Occasionally, I still get on with the stats and all that, but not nearly as in depth as I used to in rather lengthy debates.  I've mellowed, and recently even gone as far as somewhat apathetic....although none of us that post here regularly can claim realistically that we aren't interested....lol.

Livings got his nice contract from Dallas because he had a decent year that year prior.
Bengals fans laughed though because he wasn't that consistent the years before that, so we were confident he was going to regress back to the mean.

Better than Bodine isn't saying a whole lot.....and he did regress.  Didn't he wind up out of the league in short order?
