DarthICE Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Bad coaching and injuries have hurt this team as much as bad picks Bull ****. Injuries or no this team is filled with what would be other teams backups. Are you kidding me? Williams instead of McKinney? Whitner instead of Ngata? Maybin aka 'the stick' instead of Orakpo? Trading back up for friggin JP loserman and McCargo? Come on man... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkc Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Why everyone is so quick to shut the book on maybin is puzzling to me. He was a rookie for petes sake, give the guy a full offseason to put on the proper weight, I think we will all be surprised at what he does next year. And Mckelvin, had a good rookie year and was looking to improve on it this year before the injury, DRC didnt have the grade to take as high as mckelvin, plus we wanted a KR. Don't get me wrong, i didnt like either pick, but you can't write these guys off so fast. I think Maybin will def benefit from converting to a rush end OLB this year, its more of a natural fit for him to use his speed to get around the edge. I think the maybin pick becomes a bigger problem if we switch to a 3/4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nostyle126 Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 My biggest problem with Maybin is that I think this is a case of the scouting staff having the wool pulled over their eyes by a one-year wonder college player who prepared specifically for the combine to get drafted high. Maybin didn't even play one full year of college ball. He only had ONE thing going for him...his first step and speed around the edge. He was undersized and struggled against the run. He has no other moves to beat offensive linemen. He has never proven he can even stand the test of a full season. Then, he went through a special combine training program to artificially pack on some mass and train specifically for the drills he'd be facing at the combine. Of course it did wonders and his combine workout was great. The result? Some NFL team was bound to be suckered in by his one amazing partial season at Penn State and his incredible combine workout. That team? Yeah, you know the answer to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lofton80 Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Any talk of McKelvin being a bust is absurd. He is a superstar talent, how soon we forget the last part of his rookie year. The kid can play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kid can play. I'm not convinced. He has thus far shown that he is an adequate CB that can play in the NFL...but superstar talent? I've seen very little in the way of his coverage skills to indicate he's anywhere near being a future all-star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyBaroo Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 I'm hoping that Mayben comes along as quickly, and has just as much impact, as the 1st rounder from the year before, James Hardy.... But cling to the belief that the Bills draft well and the players may come along "next year." Was Hardy a first rounder? Not that we even wanted to give up a 2nd round pick for him either. Just because we had the Williams bust - we have to get on the horse again and get an OL with #9 pick - a tackle to compliment what really should be 2 solid GUARDS in Wood and Levitre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree - we should have bitten the bullet, swallowed our pride, and PAID Peters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
