"it could also relate to coaching. not all talent necessarily displays itself, especially in the early years of either the coaches or the player bad coaching can damage productive players, just saying ..." Very well said, and I am in complete agreement!!!!

The reason why they didn't wait on Spiller and try to pick up a Scat Back later in the draft is because THEY WANTED SPILLER and not someone else. They felt from their interviews and evaluations that they wanted Spiller "Theres nothing you can do about it but whine and cry, and apply for the GM job when it becomes available" Ditto!!!!

One question I have for everyone on this board. How can we tell what kind of talent the Bills' have when their coaching and front office have been so inept? We scream for new q.b.'s, new tackles, etc., and this very well might be needed. However, I believe Nix/Gailey and company have a different result in their evaluation of the present roster. Last year T.O. should have helped taken the double-team off Evans, yet due to poor play calling, injuries to the o-line, etc., it never materialized. Spiller was drafted as an offensive weapon. Buffalo needs to score more points. Eventhough I am a die-hard Bills' fan who has watched every game for decades, I really do not know what kind of talent they have on this present team. Jauron's regime failed miserably in verifying who can play ball on this team and who is unable. This will be an interesting year in that at the end of 2010, I think a clear picture will develope and a strategy can then be formulated for a winning team.

After reading everyone's concern for the O-Line coming up in 2009, I have to ask if anyone has the scoop on the players we already have on our roster? 1. C. Denman 2. M. Philip 3. B. Rodd 4. J. Scott Do any of these players represent a viable "back-up" option, or have they been signed as training camp bodies?
