It's always a guy that has a lot of talent but there are off the field or injury or personality issues that makes some GMs stay away from him and then it begins a snowball effect. I don't recall too many players that had no issues that this happened to, although I assume it has happened.
Right...And in a QB's case if enough Teams remove you from their Draft Board, and few more Teams move you way down, only a couple Teams are left with QB Needs...Those Teams take other QB's and a guy like RJ slides all the way to the 4th Round...
RJ was the 1st Player taken on Day 2, which is usually an indicator he slid a little farther than expected...And regardless of how his career fell apart, there were QB's taken ahead of him that did almost nothing in the NFL...At least RJ Started Playoff Game...
Anyway...Obviously something kept quite a few Teams away from RJ... But like a previous post mentioned had he gone to Buffalo instead of Collins it's pretty easy to make the argument that based on the way they developed, RJ was a better value overall...Then again so was Kordell Stewart, but I digress...

Injuries are the biggest problem IMHO. People here say he has no heart because he doesn't play through it, but there's no way a fan can tell that.
When he's on the field, he's been good; probably the best OL on the team.
He'll probably be cut this season, as others are saying, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him sign elsewhere and play very well.

I know MW is a huge Human Being...But I always can't help but wonder what his career would be like if he was a 330 lb. huge man as opposed to whatever weight he was carrying this Season and in the past. All the extra weight can't help...It makes him more prone to injury and it makes it harder to play through or recover...
I just can't help but wonder how good Big Mike would be if he simply was not AS big...I guess we'll never know...

Good God not this again???
Come on Folks, ya'll are losing your focus here...We have more current issues in need of arguments, name-calling, etc...
Where has all the "new skool" bashing gone I ask you?..And because of threads like this, I do believe it's been at least 15 minutes since a new Moulds thread has begun...What's up with that?
Focus people...focus!
There are Coaches and GM's to be bashed aplenty! We don't need these stale old conversations...TSW is abuzz with all new controversy! It's the dawning of a new bashing area...Don't be left behind!
K just one...Flutie's still a midget...
Man that felt good...

IMHO this was Mularkey's biggest mistake, and the one that may very well cost him his job...He did come in and say they were going to emphasize the Running Game, and though at times he has tried, for the most part MM's Offense has had no identity whatsoever...And they are miles away from being a Smash-Mouth Offense...Of coarse, the fact that he has not been able to establish any continuity along the Offensive Line has been the main problem MM has faced...And certainly that is not all his fault...But in the business of an NFL HC your words will be magnified greatly, and I think MM's promises may come back to bite him in the...well you know...
-
Well I just want to make this clear, while bashing Mularkey in no way do I want to diminish the mess TD has made with the Bills...Primary amongst TD's mistakes was the hiring of Mularkey anyway...So in bashing Mularkey are we (MM's attackers) not at least indirectly bashing TD? No one goes unbashed!
Seriously though...Blow the whole damn thing up and start over...That's what I would like to see...TD included...
And congrats for seeing the evil that lurked within TD before some...He's tricky you know, and he has many disguises...

No question that could be true...

It's a poorly veiled excuse that Moulds didn't practice and wouldn't be available for the game on Sunday. In fact, it's utter bullshitt. If they didn't want him suspended a game he would not only be playing, he'd be starting. That was simply to put a public spin on it that I can't believe anyone is falling for.
When it's all said and done, this is really much ado about nothing. What seems to have happened is just everyone doing a couple things wrong, and then everyone trying to put the best public face on it that they can.
It certainly seems Moulds was pissed and frustrated, which he has every right to be because his time on the Bills is coming to an end and he has little to show for it. He has a right to be mad about the play-calling, I'm pretty mad about it myself. He has earned the right to somewhat be a spokesman, and he has exercised that right a lot. In fact, he was the main man who spoke out about JP and the coaches listened to him. I don't think they made the move to bench JP because of him but because they listened to him and agreed with him.
MM, on the other hand, has had a terrible year. And the losing brings out this frustration in him, too. He's trying to hang onto a sinking ship.
But Moulds has NO right to not listen to his coach, especially in a game, no matter what the circumstances are or how frustrated he is, or even how right he may be. His job is to listen to his coaches, and he's paid millions to do that and only that. So he should be suspended for refusing to go back in the game. He knows he screwed up, too, or else he would be saying he was wronged. He wasn't, he was just taking the high road now that it is over and he screwed up because he doesn't want to look like a cancer for his next team. He's doing the right thing now but he was dead wrong in the game. His punishment fit the crime.
TD, too, is letting his coach do what he has to do. Contrary to the madness around here, there is no indication that TD has ever overstepped his bounds and demanded something from his head coach. In fact, there are numerous indications he never has. That doesn't mean he shouldn't be fired, however. And he may be gone after this year because his team sucks right now.
Ralph was in somewhat of a bind, but not really. He just wants to put the best face on a bad situation. He has to back his coach, and he should. His coach was right all along on this particular issue, regardless of how much his coach has sucked ass this year. Moulds screwed up, MM wanted him suspended one game. Again, that's a punishment that fit the crime.
And Moulds should be allowed back. Moulds was the bad guy here, for refusing to go in. Ralph, TD and MM's only faults were they have sucked at their jobs lately. The fans and papers and media jumped all over MM but he did the right thing all along. He wanted Moulds suspended, he didn't blab anything to the media. He agreed to have a meeting with everyone. They settled it and now he gets back to coaching his team.
Well that certainly is one way of looking at it...
Another is that Mularkey did want Moulds suspended for the Season exactly as ESPN reported, and RW worked out a compromise ("splitting the baby") that pleased Moulds so that he would not speak out about the situation any further...While still making it look like Mularkey got the suspension he wanted for insubordination...
I agree that is was a bigger deal than what we are hearing, no question...But if you ask me MM comes out of this looking dumb based on the cover story. So either MM is one heck of a stand-up guy for allowing that, or RW simply did not feel the incident warranted a strong public backing of his HC...
Whatever...Both Moulds and MM may be gone in 2006 regardless...Time to move on...
-
I agree...There has been nothing to come out of the last 24 hours that casts a negative light on Eric except the suspension itself... And they are making that look like almost a technicallity...
-
Oh please tell me you are kidding...?
Go back and look...Drew had one good Game in that stretch at Miami...The Bills winning streak was mainly due to the #2 Overall D, and the #1 Special Teams units in the League along with the switch to Willis at HB...
Example... at Seattle DB throws 3 Ints and the Bills win 38-9...Not saying DB did not help, but saying he was mostly responsible is like saying the Canadians were mostly responsible for winning WW2...
-
Yup. Drew is the MAN ! The Cowboys are 3-3 since beating the Giants (in OT) in week 6. They beat Arizona, Philly and Detroit. All losing teams. They lost to Seattle, Giants and Denver. All winning teams. 17 TD's , most of them early. Throw in 11 Int's, 13 fumbles and 28 sacks.
Quick. Blame the Dallas OL and lack of a running game.
I'm sensing a pattern.
Exactly!

2-6 in 2004 vs. Teams that finished the Season with a winning Record...
1-5 in 2005 vs. Teams who currently have a winning Record...
3-11 Total Record vs. Teams with a winning record...
2-5 at Home vs. those Teams...
48-80 is the combined record of the 9 Teams MM's Bills have beat at Home...
Not good enough...
-
And had a golden opportunity to get into those Playoffs...Losing that Home Game vs. the Steelers almost made the whole "9 out of the last 11" disappear...To get that far and lose at Home to a good Team that by the grace of the scheduling Gods just happened to be playing mostly their back-up's that Week...Ouch...
The Win Streak was tainted at the very least...The Bills played 8 Teams in 2005 that finished with a winning record. And so far in 2006, the Bills have played 6 Teams who have won more than they lost...MM is 3-11 in those Games, and maybe worse he's 2-5 at Home...
I doubt much of that has gotten by RW...Who knows though...
-
Well I mostly agree with that...but...
At least the Bills do have a guy who looks like maybe he can be a Franchise QB...They have the best RB in the League (
Just Kidding...I had to...)...And a pretty good WR in Evans...There are parts on D to build around, especially if TKO comes back 100%...And more than likely, The Bills Pick 5 times in the Top 105 of the 2006 Draft... So it could be worse...In 2001 the Bills had the dangerous combo of AVP and RJ at QB, Bryson and Henry at HB, and we all remember the state of the D back then (of coarse the 2005 D is brutal statistically as well...)...
Anyway, the 1st Team TD put on the Field certainly did not have the potential that I think the 2006 Bills will have...Which is the reason I'm willing to give TD/TM a pass before MM...Because I figure TD/TM have a better chance at adding the right pieces than MM has successfully Coaching them...
My preference would see them all gone but...

I kind of thought the same thing. However if I'm EM I'd be bit upset that I'm going to lose a games pay casue I'm not ready to play when it was the coaches choice to not allow me to practice all week.
Persoanlly I think EM will appeal through the NFLPA, and maybe win as it seems the Bills are on much thinner ground than the Eagles were. Any maybe Ralph knows that but just went along with MM today as he really didn't have much choice other than to fire MM instead.
Agreed...Not throwing MM at least a small bone would REALLY blow up in The Press...

It was very brief Dean..
He said:
1) He met with Eric for about a half hour
2) He considers Eric a friend that has played for the team for 10 years
3) He heard Eric's side and MM's side
4) He feels like Solomon trying to divide the baby
5) Eric would not be ready to play on Sunday because of missing practice Wed and Thursday
6) His decision is to suspend him without pay for one game and then let Eric back on the team for the final three games.
There were no questions allowed.
This brief statement was no where close to a strong backing of MM, and seemed to me to be almost apologetic to EM...The statement was EM had not Practiced for 2 days, he would not be ready for Sunday anyway, so... he's Suspended for one week without pay...
Just my take on it...

"He's beaten us a lot of times," Belichick said. "He's had some of his biggest games in the last couple years against us. He had 125 against us last year and another 125 this year. . . . We've seen too much of him - from the back."
- Bill Belichick 12/7/05

Yep...I imagine Belichick is firmly in Mularkey's corner on this one...
-
Well I can certainly understand that point of view...But this thing is 5 Years plus running downhill now...Can The Bills really afford to chance 6 for the sake of continuity?..And looking at the brightside, IF the right people come in, and make the right moves, there is enough in place now for a quick turnaround...I truly believe that...
I just have no confidence that the current Regime can get this thing right...Maybe they are just jinxed, I don't know... They certainly seem to work hard enough...For whatever reason it's not working though, and I think another year of Losing under the Powers That Be is a risk RW will not be willing to take...
I will say this though...IF for the sake of continuity you want to keep anyone around, I don't think it should be MM...I think like GW before him he is just not HC material...And I know the consensus may be to get rid of TD, but to me Mularkey is a FAR bigger risk towards another losing Season...

Weis ain't leaving ND for any amount of money. He's right where he wants to be. If we wanted him, we should have ponied up when he was available - it made a hell of alot of sense at the time because we'd have gotten a solid offensive coach (which we needed) and wounded the Fags at the same time. That's probably why it didn't happen.
Exactly...

Last I heard Dallas was hot in the playoff hunt and Bledsoe still a pro-bowl contender. Let's see how the last few games play out. I think Bledsoe with a Bledsoe offense is a winning combo. TD never gave him a Bledsoe office. Now I admit I might be proven wrong in the remaining games of the season because I think Parcells HAS given him the Bledsoe offense (great tight end and very good offensive line coupled with quality wide receivers.)
QB Rating 86.1 and falling fast...A 70 QB Rating over his last 6 Games...Road Games remaining at Washington and Carolina...
Like you said, we'll see after these next 4 Games...But you have to admit Bledsoe's 1st Year in Dallas is beginning to look VERY familiar...
Mike Williams.... why is he a bust?

That is certainly a posibility...
But I know how losing 30 plus lbs. changed my life...It's a lot of weight...Ever picked up a 30 lb. bag of lard?
K...bring on the 370 lb. bag of lard jokes...
