    A very public about-face

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    Posted · Edited by Bud Adams

    As you state, that was me New Era.

     

    In fact, when BA tried to spin it, I responded that some three year All-Americans succeed and some fail.

     

    He then proceded to try and ridicule that.

     

    Now Mr. Adams is either showing some short term memory problems, or (more likely) is trying to weasel out of his previous attempts at making a point.

     

     

    Impeccable timing, B. You seem to have missed the party. Coincidence?

     

    You may continue your love-fest with T'eo all you'd like. It's unlikely that you'll respond to my calling you out when he underachieves next year, and busts in two. My only hope is it's not with the Bills.

    I asked for a list so you could waste hours of your time trying to prove a point that is already known. I already stated that. I know that being an AA or 3 year starter doesn't guarantee success at the nfl level. Did anyone say that? I know I didn't. I don't remember anyone else in this thread saying that. Not sure what you're getting at there. I suppose you're just upset because your "list" of 2 players was 50% incorrect. Point stands that no one said being an AA or 3 year starter guarantees anything. So what are you babbling about? I don't get it. Maybe it's because I'm a "total tool".

     

    I think you finally got it. You're not worth hours of time trying to prove a point.

     

    Somebody did, in fact, use the AA/3-year starter argument in this thread. That's what I responded to. Wow, did you miss the point. It's pretty clear in my post what I was getting at. How you read it? That's on you.

    Red shirt, to part timer with 12 tackles to unexpected starter is an upward trajectory. He really owned us, eh?

     

    You were wrong in your guess, so I'd kinda shut up on this one if I were you, NoSaint. You're kissing up to teacher, and that's sad.

     

    Yeah he did. Aaron Maybin. The 3 year starter.

     

    Fair enough, NewEra. Just remember, you asked for the list before denying that you asked for one. I shot from the hip, and got one wrong. Point stands that "All American" and "three-year starter" don't guarantee success at the NFL level. It has been proven time and time again, and if you attempt to say otherwise, you'll look like a total tool.

    I would.

     

    I bet you would. Let's start with Maybin and McClain, who both fall into that category. A list like that would take HOURS to compile because there are hundreds of Maybins and McClains over the past decade alone.

     

    The crux of his argument is that you can't judge a player by one game.

     

    That was the OP's argument, which was well stated. His argument was gibberish. Sorry.

    LOL................what a weak counter-argument

     

    Kinda like this gem by you?

     

    No list needed, since it would not really prove anything. Many All-Americans succeed, some fail.

     

    Thank you for proving my main point and neutering your own. That's pretty funny.

     

    Funny, no one wants to debate with the "professional NFL scouts all put him in the top 15 picks" argument.

     

    Oh? I think Mrags did a brilliant job. Or do you have selective reading issues?

     

    "yup. All the same scouts that thought Maybin, Sanchez, Leaf, Russel, Young, Gabbert, Curry, and McClain were also top draft picks. Say what you want about how many of them were over rated at the time, or some scouts Didnt think they were as good as advertised. In the end, all of these players were expected to be first round draft picks and all of them either sucked or flamed out because of mental issues. It's not an exact science." -- Mrags

     

    Let's revisit Te'o one year from now, just as K-9 and I agreed to revisit Graham over Wilson a year later, right after we picked the failed WR. Still waiting, K-9.

    If you're sayin "NO" for Teo @8, What's your major hangup with him? -Just not good enough? Do you agree that he's still young, and should be allowed to grow as a player and a person?

     

    Fair question. I don't believe he will fare well against NFL talent, and I question his judgment. I see him as a distraction, in light of last week's drama. I'd rather not deal with it.

     

    Edit: I absolutely agree that he's still young and should be allowed to grow as a player and a person. Just not on the Bills, who can do better @#8.

     

    Just my opinion.

    Holy hell...

     

    Edit: Initial reaction is shock, but I'm going to try to reserve judgment until this is investigated further. Can't tell you how many times I've heard the story.

     

    Someone who posted under that article wrote, "Nosuch Dame" -- which is morbidly clever, if this turns out to be true.

    Funny, a few weeks ago this board would have exploded with joy seeing a list that had Buffalo taking T'eo at #8, now everyone once to pass because of a Bowl game?

     

    He was tested against elite talent, akin to what he will see in the NFL. He bombed. Sounds about right to me.

    I am not sure about 'reaching' for a QB at #8. How many teams are targeting a QB in round 1? 2 or 3 maybe?

     

    Hence the possible "urgency" of the new staff to get who we believe is "their guy" early. In the second round, QB-needy teams drafting in front of us include:

    1. Jaguars
    2. Chiefs
    3. Browns (maybe)
    4. Cardinals
    5. Jets
    6. Titans

    Trading down is always something to consider but easier said than done since you need to find a partner willing to part with additional picks for moving up to get a guy they really want.

     

    Agreed. Competent GMs consider any and all options. Contrary to others here, I doubt Nix will have much control over the draft, regardless of what the Bills brass says publicy. But on the off chance he does, there's no way we do this even if we get an offer that makes sense.
