muggins Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 I listened to NFL Radio this morning, and Peter King was on yet again. (I thought he was just a rare guest but apparently he's on all the time... UGH) He was saying the Bills should draft that RB out of Stanford because he'd be a great Chan Gailey guy. I'm guessing he was talking about in the 2,3, or 4th round. Awful awful awful choice. We already have Fred Jackson, a great RB, and Marshawn who if he comes back right next year is a starter as well. Ugh. Even if the kid plays at FB, we just don't need to draft one like that. I want to blow my brains out every time he is on the radio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The beauty of being Peter King, or any of the talking heads, is that they are never wrong and if the ever are, no one will call them on it. Their words are forgotten seconds after they are uttered.

He is the classic 1 year wonder who had some success in college but will have none in the pros. That would be another wasted draft pick by the Bills, regardless of round.

evilbuffalobob Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 One look at Peter King and I'm thinking chubby, small peckr, white zinfandel drinking, homosexually frustrated, (non-serial) child molester. He should be locked-up for those reasons (prior to growing the beard and sporting coke bottle glasses), as well as his articles and meaningless rhetoric. Oh well.

I'm all for having a kid on the team who WANTS to run people over.. unlike Marshawn's version of Beast-mode.. as in: stutter, juke, dance, get caught, wrapped up, THEN fight for an extra yard or two.

Of course, Weatherman was on there. But the #1 job where the employee is held least accountable was "Sports Expert". These guys are just chatting and gossiping and guessing.

LABills08 Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 I don't see the insanity in this idea. Or its not as crazy as all of you seem to think. Though I'm opposed to it, common wisdom throughout the media and throughout our fans is that Marshawn either will be cut/traded or should be cut/traded. If he is traded, we won't get more than a 4th for him. Cheaper and successful alternatives can be found in the 2nd or 3rd round. Given his cost and the fact that one more hiccup will be a long term suspension indicates to me that we might even have a hard time getting a 4th. And if that is the case, I have no problem taking a running back in the 3rd or 4th round. You know who the most reliable draftees generally are? Running backs. And as I just said, you can get a good running back in the 3rd or 4th round (just look at Tim Graham's post in the TBD thread at the top of the page).

Have you seen this guy play? By the way his name is Toby Gerhart and he is an absolute beast. A one man wrecking crew. Of all the college bowl games that I watched this holiday season and all the players I saw, only this guy stuck out in my mind. He can absolutely dominate a game and his style is perfect for the NFL. I would be ecstatic if we got him. I agree we shouldn't take him early, but if he is there in the third, I would grab him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malazan Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 People hate these guys, but they keep reading, listening and watching. Sports "reporters" are no longer hired for knwoledge or reporting skills, but based on how many people will pay attention regardless. Peter King seems to do that well.

dave mcbride Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Why is this a bad pick in the third round or so? I suspect that Lynch is a goner and they need a second back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is the classic 1 year wonder who had some success in college but will have none in the pros. That would be another wasted draft pick by the Bills, regardless of round. You just described our first round pick last year. As for Gerhardt, I would not complain if we picked him up in the second or third round (preferably third). We have too many other holes though. I doubt he will be available in the third. I do think that he would be a good back for the kind of weather we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was Marshawn's M.O. in open space, with one defender in front of him. He thinks he's still in college, where he could run around everyone. Is Lynch hard to bring down? You bet. Is he easy as hell to catch? You bet. (Speaking of course, as an NFL player.. I'm sure he'd run ME over *OR* around me, for that matter.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think that he would be a good back for the kind of weather we have. To reiterate, I also think that Lynch will be gone. Could be wrong about that, but it ain't looking good. There's been too much in the media lately (PFW, Tim Graham) of OBD people leaking that he's a punk and a cancer. I've gotta think that it's at least somewhat deliberate. I also don't think they plan on getting much for him given that he's one joint away from a season long suspension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not a bad pick in the 3rd. Lynch's one way ticket out of town has probably already been punched. You need two backs in the NFL. Jackson & Gerhard would give the Bills a good one - two punch. Jackson and Lynch gives them a one and one eighth punch. Sooner or later the Lynch jersey holders will relaize that Lynch is a POS and they need to move on to a different jersey... one that holds its value a little longer.

Peter King is a clown, who on his crappy article every Monday, rattles off pointless non football garbage, and the list of the "famous" people that he claims texted him something. Kind of like that equally idiotic football writer Michael Silver for Yahoo. At least Silver isn't on TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerhardt was absolutely incredible last year. There is nothing about his game that would lead someone to believe he is a one year wonder. If Lynch is gone, Gerhardt would be my first choice to replace him. If we could get him for the pick we got for Lynch, it would be perfect.

We have way more pressing needs than ANOTHER RB, nonetheless a slow RB from Stanford who played in a weak conference. edit: plus he had 343 carries last year, which is way too many. Chris Perry, famous for carrying the ball every play, only had 338 in his biggest season. Meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
