Pete Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 We just paid a guy $3 M per year who probably wouldn't have made the Raiders in 2010. These guys are jokers. Kudos Nix and Whaley. Not to mention he is 34. We are rebuilding on the fly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthICE Posted March 8, 2010 Author Share Posted March 8, 2010 Really? Averaging stats. So don't average them, Poz is putting up just as good stats in comparison. He stays healthy and we have our own Dansby for MUCH less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike in Syracuse Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 I trust these guys. I don't know why but I feel like I can believe in in Gailey, Nix & Whaley. Damn, they sound like a law firm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LynchMob23 Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 We just paid a guy $3 M per year who probably wouldn't have made the Raiders in 2010. These guys are jokers. How much of this contract is guaranteed? If we pay him 3 mil to start this year and cut him for a replacement next year, did that do anything other than fill the gap and allow people to rail on a pro personnel guy in Whaley who has been viewed universally around the league as qualified?

Simon Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 He is a GOOD backer, not a great one. We have the same thing in Poz if he can keep from breaking his arm. Yeah, they're practically the same guy. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Bills give Paul Posluszny an 8.5mil/year extension sometime later this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Cocktosten Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Nothing like whining before a single play has happened. And being optimistic about a 34 year RT who sucked for the Raiders makes you a dummy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HurlyBurly51 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Fair enough. I just hate whining before the fact. It's dumb. That's fair when it comes to the draft. But this guy is a veteran with a track record that suggests more futility on our OL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get another hobby if the Bills make you this miserable then. No one is whining. They are coming to the realization that this new regime is the same as the old one. And you're the same jerkfoff who thinks that they are going to win. I'll do what I want, you keep beating off to your Donte Whitner poster.

Simon Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 No one is whining. They are coming to the realization that this new regime is the same as the old one. Yeah, making one initial move to address a position of need with an inexpensive veteran that you've never seen play is all the data you need to make enough of a judgment to insult people over.

billsfreak Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 How exactly do you propose we sign those guys? The only way for the Bill to sign a name FA is to overpay. The team isn't good, the coaching staff isn't all that hyped up and our facilities are worse than most of the "contender" teams. That is before you factor in things like climate and attractiveness of the city as a whole. When we sign people, they will be role players who have been backups before and are offered an opportunity to compete for a starting position. All comes down to RALPH!

You do realize that the Raiders were one of the better teams at running the ball the last 3 years right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnC Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Any ILB in rounds 2-5 can have the same impact as Dansby. Sometimes your opinions are reasonable and sometimes they are outlandish. Most people know which category this opinion falls in. Dansby is a very good player. Whether he is overpayed is another issue altogether. As for as Bolden is concerned, we have a guy who has talent and oft injured sitting on our roster right now. Were you sober when you made the judgment that Hardy is a better or comparble player than Bolden? Bolden has shown on the FIELD that he is a good player. Hardy hasn't even been able to get on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fun to call random strangers name knowing you don't have to face them. But you're right. I'm a jerkoff for nothing acting like a negative little B word (see I can call names too) and wanting to slice my wrist because of a FA sigining in March. I'm much rather be like you and see my free time bitching and crying liek a little girl about every move the Bills make. You sound like a winner with a lot going on in your life.

If by one of the better you mean middle of the road, then yes. Funny though how Green was the one component of that line that they consistently were looking to replace. And he's 34. And he's a penalty flag magnet. And he's been beaten for more than his share of sacks. And he's described as "adequate" by scouts. And he fits right in with the high character philosophy our organization says it wants So yeah, his track record does suggest more futility for this line.
