ndirish1978 Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 The kid was our 1st rounder 2 drafts ago. This coaching staff won't even put him on the field for more than 2 plays a game and our defense is TERRIBLE. Are we going to wind up cutting this moron? I'd at least like to see them stick him in there for a majority of the defensive snaps for a few games and let him learn the hard way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jr1 Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Cut him. If he can't get on the field on a team of journeymen, he needs to be cut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouds Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Maybin road his 11 sacks to a big pay day, he was 20 when he declared for the draft. Never should have come out but money was his biggest motivator. He'll turn 23 next year, about the same age as most kids drafted in '11. I'd give him one more year. Look at guys like Cameron Wake or James Harrison, late bloomers. Looking at Maybin, he doesn't have an ounce of pass rushing talent when he steps on the field. Then I remember his age, and the fact he came out way too early. Regardless, he probably has another training camp to show what he's got before getting the ax.

billsintaiwan Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 he has dancing with the stars written all over him. he probably views his lack of football production as a major impediment to his career as a half-assed celebrity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobDVA Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I see no reason to call the kid a moron. If he is not being played, it is the coaching staff that is making that decision. From what I can see so far, on this defense, there are multiple players that are not where they should be. I do not care what it is, sports, war, chess, or checkers, if you are moving your players in the wrong way, you are going to lose! Maybin is 22 years old, most of the players coming out next year will be the same age that he will be. Time to let the kid play, can't stop the run, well then, he should fit in well with the rest of the D. It is called OJT, on the job training, it is a common practice in the business world, and this is after all, a business! Play the kid! In fact play all the kids, Troup, Carrington, Just Do It!

Hmm... interesting take. I guess you took pee breaks during all the times he's hit the field this year (pun intended). He isn't impressing, so I guess you haven't missed anything. He seems like a cool guy, but I fear he was a swing and a miss in terms of the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JStranger76 Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Play the guy back to back full games, not this "obvious passing downs" crap, and if he stinks it up, sit him down for the year. Let him get into the flow of game at least. If next year by training camp he looks useless, cut or trade him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSBill Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I think he should be moved inside, with his speed (athleticism as they call it), at least he could chase guys down, and he's a one trick pony on the outside = his pattened speed rush to nowhere on the outside edge. Wouldn't moving him inside at least give him a chance to fool people once-in-a-while on the pass rush. And let's face it, he can't be any worse than any of the rest of the linebacking crew at covering and tackling people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niagara Bill Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Maybin is the best example of Ralph, Littman and Overdorf run this team. Do not spend money on quality people who know how to run a team and then let them do it, but waste money on a player who had 1 season of football and pay him $27M guaranteed. Then they cry about it. We should have seen how questionable this pick was based on 1 yr and his agent JJ Arrington from Penn. Arrington was the same situation, big choice, hold out and then bust. Arrington tought Maybinb well. The decision on Maybin is, cut him now, or get some football people who can develop players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another Point of View Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Bottom Line, a player has to show promise and improvment, even if the improvment is small. He has no value in trade and he makes big money. Not a good situation! -Waive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoner7 Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Aging wont make Maybin a good football player. I say trade him to some team that thinks they can develope this no talent hack. even if its just a 7th rounder its worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobDVA Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Make him clean up the parking lot after home games. That would not be much of a punishment, there will hardly be anyone at those games toward the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilbuffalobob Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I say play him... let him go out there and humiliate himself. Maybe he'll quit. At any rate, it will be helpful for justifying the rookie cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt that's gonna happen. I think there were only 3 people on Earth who thought he was deserving of a first round pick: Todd McShay, Tom Modrak, and Dick Jauron.

And at some point that's still fairly far away, probably next year, by the middle of the year if he still sucks, you start thinking of getting rid of him.

BuffaloATL Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Since his signing bonus is a sunk cost, you might as well keep him for a while. I don't think you'll save all that much by cutting him. Might as well give it a couple more years and see if he blossoms. It doesn't really hurt to keep him, other than him being a reminder of past draft failures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't make future spending decisions based on how much you've already put into a failing project. It makes no sense to continue spending good money after bad just because of a sunk cost. From a business perspective, if they see no hope for his future development, cut the cord asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bufcomments Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 The Chan said he is worried about him.... so i read that they think he might not make it. I say play him and find out....he cant do worse than Kelsey can he???..oh wait.. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcatty Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Someone suggested trying him at tight-end. It might be worth a look. However,it appears that he is another in a long list of undersized linebackers or defensive ends drafted by the Bills. The Bills haven't drafted smart since Polian.
