Happy correcting!! LOL I dont think he was correcting your diction rather he was sarcastically questioning whether Maybin should be in on any down at all, much less be an every down player.... A legit question judging from yesterday I guess. Couldn't watch but I see Maybins name nowhere in the stat lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry Jabber Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 yes...it is obvious that Maybin would be an all pro OLB in a 3-4 because he is such a bad Defensive End. Wow, after one season in which the HC gets fired, everyone is ready to call this guy a bust!! IMO, we should have drafted Orakpo, but that didn't happen. If Maybin is not doing well or DE so far, why not give him a shot a LB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOBILLS78 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Wow, I have been heavily entrenched (and heavily criticized) on the anti-Maybin bandwagon from the get-go, but even I'm not ready to call him a bust. He's a boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I hear that Maybin has a great first step (out of the locker room). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB Fan 4 LIFE Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 This board drives me crazy thinking Maybin is a terrible player, and this will be the last post in defense of him. Name me one player at the DE position that has done a damn thing this entire season???? It takes time to develop for christs sake Brian Orakpo.

FLFan Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Brian Orakpo. He is not playing DE - he is a linebacker in Washington. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeSpeed Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Wow, I have been heavily entrenched (and heavily criticized) on the anti-Maybin bandwagon from the get-go, but even I'm not ready to call him a bust. He's a boy. I consider him a expectation bust. A first round draft pick for a bad team better be starting and making some plays. He maybe great a year or 2 down the road, but what does that do for a team that needs impact players now? If he was drafted in any other round this conversation wouldn't be happening. So really it's the Bills first round draft choice that's a bust right now, not Maybin. (Although that remains to be seen.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope that there is a time when he justifies where we picked him. That time has not arrived yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kipers Hair Posted November 23, 2009 Author Share Posted November 23, 2009 This board drives me crazy thinking Maybin is a terrible player, and this will be the last post in defense of him. Name me one player at the DE position that has done a damn thing this entire season???? It takes time to develop for christs sake Is it too much to ask him to make a couple of tackles? Hell with the sacks, just contribute.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOKBILLS Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Well here is the potential upside, apperantly Shanahan wants to run a 3-4 D when he gets where he is going. So.... we can put Maybin in his more natural position at OLB in a 3-4 and let him go after QB's. Exactly... He's either going to be a 3-4 OLB or a nobody in The NFL...He's not a 4-3 End...Just about everyone except The Bills Coaches and Scouting Department knew that LONG before the 09 Draft...

thebug Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Right now, he would have been a great later round pick. Let's hope that there is a time when he justifies where we picked him. That time has not arrived yet. I don't have a problem with a guy taking time to learn the game, which is why I have a problem with the big contracts rookies get in the NFL. We pay these guys a tonne of money when they are not able to produce, maybe we would all feel better if the rookie pay structure was different and we were getting our moneys worth?

We pay these guys a tonne of money when they are not able to produce, maybe we would all feel better if the rookie pay structure was different and we were getting our moneys worth? So true. That is one of the major reasons why he has been a disappointment. It is a lot of money for a guy who has not contributed a thing so far in his first year. I really got worried when there were rumors spinning out of the OTA's that he looked bad and not what the Bills had hoped for. He has done nothing to dispel those rumors. On top of that, we are paying the guy a ton of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wagon Circler Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 The problem is, a pass rusher remains a major need and if this guy can't help. We have to look elsewhere. I haven't seen our other ends getting pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisyphean Bills Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Levitre had more tackles than Maybin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That time has not arrived yet. You sure about that? Nelson seems like a great later round pick. Maybin would be a project if selected in the later rounds, too.
