I understand the coulda woulda shoulda argument...I mean why didn't the Portland Trailblazers draft Michael Jordan instead of Sam Bowie? Didn't they want to win 6 championships?
But in the Bills case it is not a good enough excuse. When your team has failed to make the playoffs for 11 straight years and counting and you have continually mis-evaluated players potential at the NFL level year in and year out you have problems with your scouting department/front office! I cannot believe how many people try to defend the Bills drafting over the years with a "Well it is what it is" "You never know how a guy is gonna turn out at the time you draft him" attitude. These guys are professionals and they are getting paid the big bucks to recruit players who can make this team successful. Its amazing to me that this front office has not been completely gutted by Ralph Wilson(then again who knows where his head is at this point). Do you think its just a coincidence that during our glory years when Bill Polian was here he happened to draft Jim Kelly, Bruce Smith, Andre Reed, Thurman Thomas, Darryl Talley, etc...do you guys think that was just luck or maybe just maybe do you think he actually knew how to do his job?
