Nates had good and bad games against great WR's over the last couple years. He played well against Johnson and Smith in 2005. Played horrible against Chambers in the 2nd Miami game in 2005, and in this year’s game against the Lions he was owned by Roy Williams. Regardless if you perceived his play to have gone down or not, it's fairly easy to see his current play going up. That being the case it really doesn't change the fact that something has improved his play. Is that something a 6th year veteran getting it, coaching, contract, or all of the above? This post is about it being more about contract, and if that's the case the original question becomes very important in our decision to bring him back or not.

It's a big dilemma. Teams are used to being in this situation but the contract size makes it more magnified. My belief is his motivation will once again decline. Even if that ends up being the case it still makes this a borderline decision with no correct answer. Also McGee wouldn't necessarily be the number 1 guy. I would think Marv would bring in additional help if Nate leaves.

In 2005 Nate was entering his 5th year, a contract year in which most expected the Bills to franchise him. His play really seemed to drop off in 2005. Given his age you would expect a progression which made his regression all the more noticeable. It wasn't injury related, and while the coaching was poor his play declined when compared to 2004 which he had the same coaches and system. To me what separates good and great players in the NFL is effort and motivation. With other factors disqualified I really can't find anything else to explain Nates decline in play from 2005 and the start of 2006. As we all know Nate is now playing lights out football since the bye week. We promised to not use the franchise tag, and he's well aware of his future payday. It's not shocking to see a potential contract influence a player’s play, but in our case Nate will command pay that could make him one of the highest paid CB's in football. To me a contract so large is only worth it if it's going to a motivated Clements, otherwise your getting top 10 material and not top 3.

got pictures?

looks like guns according to nfl.com

Had to be drugs.

Anything past QB's hardest and RB's easiest is debatable.

1 QB- Longest 2. OL/DL- 3. CB/WR- 4. MLB/TE- 5. RB's- Shortest

In NCAA 2006 you can line Bush up at WR by hitting the O button.

Why not have him return punts, Reggie Bush does.

75%? I wan't proof

I thought he returned punts? Why can't he be a PR.

JP only cares about getting his name in the paper

My character meter just went off.

When Buffalo trusts this team they will sell out again.

Maybe it's something about having kids?

Very true.

Ya what's with that? I love the grille, so much easier then anything else. I think something about the gas and a possible explosion freaks them out

I moved away from Livonia 6 years ago. Still go back a few times a year, I heard it was horrible. I used to take M-14 to 94 every time I went back and fourth from Kalamazoo. I'm glad I didn't have to deal that BS.

75 or 475 are less littered with cops, but horrible in there own ways. If I'm going anywhere it's usually N back to Michigan so I’m on those freeways. Your point about the merging is so true. That's the problem with the road system, everything's set up to make you think. People are not overly bright. Bad things happen.

You SOB

I like vaginas, so should I pretend to be gay

I have no connections to Buffalo, but when you take the city from the team and the history from the team, you just don't have the same team. I couldn't follow them anymore, and don't ever see myself caring about another team as much, or even at all.

Greek with enough Irish to have the last name McClain.

What I'm asking for is the split in cooking duties. Problem is most the women I've met can't hold up that end of the bargain. I've seen several couples and friends, who have shared my experiences. This all leads me to believe this trend is stronger then it should be. Gender changes in society have played a roll in the amount of women that know how to cook. But to me that's not an excuse. It's a fundamental part of life that everybody should at least have some knowledge about. Your group of friends appears different which is what I'm looking for. Maybe it's just the people I know more then it actually being true.
