His performance last year was worse than he usually does, but that was mainly due to his injured knee.  Im pretty sure he had surgery this off season and should be back to his normal self this year.

When Hanson finally retires, I have long wanted to build a massive statue of him, with a soup kitchen serving as the base.

That way we can always remember him as he was: a hero surrounded by an endless line of transient bums.

He will prove the doubter wrong again this year, going 32/35 on field goals (4/5 from 50+) and 13/13 on extra points (miss one but the defense will be offsides).

Notice that Vernon Gholson was also on the "biggest losers" list -- (as If deciding to go to OSU over UM wasn't a dead giveaway he was a loser)

Maybe I don't have all the tools needed to be an NFL GM, but anyone who didn't smell bust with VG must have just had thier eyes closed. Sure, his physical numbers were great ... but so were Tony Mandarich's, Shawne Merriman's, and Brian Cushing's

He's too small to be a DE and too big to be a LB. At least with Woodley and BG you knew the strength was there (and real)

Really? You're calling it in retrospect? He was a beast in college and there's no denying that. I suppose the Dolphin's were lucky Jake Long panned out with the numbers he put up. And it's not like Brian Cushing or Shawne Merriman won any awards... Oh wait. BG hasn't played an NFL down.

are good players. Cushing just got rookie defensive player of the year and Merriman received a severe injury that has plagued him. I would gladly take either of them on the Lions.
