....lybob Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Cornell Green sums up everything wrong with the Bills - He's not good enough to get us anywhere now and he's too old to be a building block for the future- and while he may be the worst example he's not the only Bill to fit that description why is Kelsey on this team? in fact if you believe that you have to draft and develop a quality QB then the Bills are at least 3 years away from being a contender,and any Bill 29yo and up now will probably be in serious decline by the time we reach that point.

Another Point of View Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 I believe Buddy will adress this problem in 2011, if there is a season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bouds Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 He should be relegated to backing up both tackle spots, put Meredith in his spot. At least we may have something with him, Green is awful and will be out of the league in no time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanInUticaTampa Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 forget him being a building block, he was always too old for that. That real issue is he isn't even a good stop gap player. The only hope we have is he might get better when the line jells some more.... but I have a better chance of winning the lottery than he does at improving to an acceptable level. We def need an RT more than we need an LT now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tennesseeboy Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 I was amused when those on this board pushed for him as "the answer" at the tackle spot. The RAIDERS didn't want him, and he was a penalty machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billsguy Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Winds of change will be blowing strong in 2012! Are you referring to the Bills moving to Toronto? It is almost a sure thing so everybody better get used to the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flutie Flakes Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 A good friend of mine is a HUGE Raiders fan and has been so since the mid-seventies. After we signed Green he told me that in his opinion, Cornell Green was one of the worst O-lineman to have ever played for Oakland due to poor play and ridiculous penalties. I discounted what he said as maybe sourgrapes or something. However, I saw first hand yesterday what he was talking about. This guy needs to be riding the bench.

Koufax Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 I believe Buddy will adress this problem in 2011, if there is a season? No, I agree with the OP. Cornell Green is the one face slap on our team right now. I clearly is not part of our long term plans or someone who could surprise us with development and upside. He also would seem to be our weakest player and relatively costly for several games in a row now. I can't believe that Meredith or Wang wouldn't be better right now, but I would also put up with a little bit worse momentarily since they have the chance to grow throughout the season and be more valuable overall in 2010, as well as clearly be more valuable in future seasons (which should not be our #1 priority...right now we have to field the best football team for 2010 from our roster). If we can't find someone better on our own roster or from recent cuts by other teams, I think that is a very depressing reality. I do not expect Cornell to hold on to his position all season...it just doesn't make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChasBB Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Was golden boy Doug Whaley responsible for brining Green in? Many more moves like that and he'll make John Guy look like a genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Section444 Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Still trying to figure out why Peters and Walker weren't retained. The OL would be set in stone with the additions of Wood and Levitre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Hindsight Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Someone mentioned it earlier but losing Butrler to retirement was a huge loss...he was our best offensive lineman IMO. I think Green was brought in here to keep that spot warm until they could develop either Meridith or Wang. Meridith is better but he is needed to spell Bell for the time being. I hope (really hope) that we can adjust to deal with this. Gailey seems smart I want to see improvement soon but im willing to give him time....our schedule is against us and DJ left a mess. Hopefully by midseason Meridith will take that spot and wang will be our swing tackle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBuff423 Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 agreed...Green is worthless!! I would rather see Meredith at RT, well, obviously I would rather have Wang at RT, but due to injury that's not an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

box0life Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Just think, we are paying this guy $3,000,000 per year for three years. This is the best we could come up with at RT in free agency. Just shows you that nobody wants to play for this team. We can't convince anybody that is decent to come to this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
