I agree we still lack depth. The problem with doing a comparison like this is you are using evaluations on something you don't know, how the future for the young guys on the 08 roster will play out.
In fact I remember eveyone being high on Underwood. There were guys on the roster then that were hyped the same way Jordy, Rouse, Blackmon, Jones, etc are being hyped now. The difference is we know how Underwood, Will Whitaker, Hawkins and other turned out. We DO NOT know it with this group.
I'm not sure what the point of this thread is but it is eye-opening our Defense gave up more points than the 4-12 unit did last year. I would take our Offense in 05 with Favre, DD, Javon, Green, Henderson and Franks over what we have now. The O-Line is a wash to me. The only unit I can say was better last year was maybe WR.
As far as Def. the addition of C-Wood automatically makes the Secondary better now. The LB's are a wash and I prefer the D-Line of 05.
If I had to choose overall, and were to include injuries, I'd go with 08. If you took away the injuries of 05' and the injuries of 08' and gave me a choice I'd go with 05'.
