Scrappy Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 At least if he's on the Bills he can't keep killing us! Good article from Pro Football NYC (ok, not exactly a mainstream media outlet, but still): http://www.profootballnyc.com/2011/07/jets-bracing-for-life-without-brad.html Gotta like "Those who shrug off Smith’s imminent exit are only making themselves feel better when they say that Smith’s departure will be “no big loss.” It will be a tremendous loss. Smith changes momentum. Makes enormous game changing and even season changing plays. When least expected." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeverOutNick Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 This was an awesome pickup! He can do so much to put points on the board and move the chains and Gailey is creative enough to use everything he is capable of...GREAT JOB! GO BILLS!!!!

Lv-Bills Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Why in the hell is this guy needed? Seriously? He's a toy, and toy's are usually effective on teams that are already good. Why, seriously? This, to me, reeks of needing to try and sell tickets to make us think we are getting a playmaker that is way overhyped. I don't get it. Sorry, I just don't get this organization. I'd rather have a top notch lineman than Spiller AND Smith. But hey, what do I know......I have the same amount of playoff wins in my armchair position as this organization has in it's last 11 years.

QCity Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 557 yards in 5 seasons ?? Do you actually watch Football Games? Just saying...If you don't know what Brad Smith brings to the table then you're just not paying attention... I too would have to question if a lot of people here watch football games if they don't know who Brad Smith is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Smith, Spiller, Parrish, etc., he can really get innovative with playbook. #Bills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDS Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 He will play several positions. He'll be the #3 QB, the Wildcat QB, some WR, some RB, a KR, a gunner on ST, and likely some Slash kind of packages as a QB that Gailey designs for him. He's a very good, talented, exciting, athletic player. Does this mean we can get our 1st round pick refunded for Spiller? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sllib olaffub Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 If we can put together a decent O-line, or have good O-line play this year, we're looking to have a very dynamic offense. Gailey is looking to be on the front lines when it comes to taking advantage of the new rules for 3rd string QB's. I like this move as long as we still solidify the O-line, because now I think we can easily say we have an excellent WR corps, an excellent P/K return team, and a lot of speed on offense now. Gailey, given his credentials, will certainly give Buffalo a good offense this year - I just think it all hinges on the O-line's play. P.S. - I did overreact a little prematurely on Wed., with the lack of movement by Buffalo. Habit. When I look at the landscape around the league, I am seeing teams that are just getting hamstrung by a few really big contracts. Look at Washington last year. Haynsworth really hurt them. It's nice to know the front office is looking far enough ahead to keep money available to sign the talent that emerges on this young team, and to have the cash to get real prominent help at positions of need if such help becomes available - and, I'm hoping they go for Clabo, that would really make our line formidable, with the one ? at LT.

Lv-Bills Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Good thing free agency doesn't end today then...wait, signings haven't even technically started. Other than to make a smartass comment, free agency has started, otherwise it wouldn't be announced. Pen to paper tomorrow, big deal. And two, does Brad Smith stop the run, rush the passer, or play tackle on the O-Line or D-Line? This smells like a team that doesn't understand what makes Brad Smith so effective.......a good team. Kinda like when Washington fell in love, stupidly, with Antwaan Randle El. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lv-Bills Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Does this mean we can get our 1st round pick refunded for Spiller? No, it just means the pick made a lot of us want to puke when it happened, and I just wanted to re-visit that fact. I'm still waiting for the Bills to address a need from last year, other than a backup position. I must not be thinking clearly.....I didn't think gimmicks were one of our weaknesses last year.

Mark Long Beach Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Does this mean we can get our 1st round pick refunded for Spiller? Well we're definitely collecting some dynamic type players. Hey, If Chan can figure out how to use them all...! He does seem a little redundant, but he also looks like insurance. He can run the wildcat ala Fred, he can obviously KR well, and he can run okay. I think his best role will be 3rd QB which can now be active on gameday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we are doing things. and we don't need anyone on the DLine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This smells like a team that doesn't understand what makes Brad Smith so effective.......a good team. Kinda like when Washington fell in love, stupidly, with Antwaan Randle El. The point is that they can still sign an Olineman to play tackle. Signing Smith doesn't stop them from also signing someone like Clabo. Obviously it's not like the draft where you only get to take one player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relax, Clabo is still available as is Kevin Burnett, Tulloch, Nick Barnett, Brady Popinga, cullen jenkins ect This team added a good player that has made alot of teams pay with his big play potential. With an offensive genius like Gailey I'm really excited to see what he can do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justice Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 What a stupid, stupid signing! This must mean Evans is getting the boot. I hate this pick-up with a passion. Is this a cost cutting move so that the Bills don't have to re-sign Stevie Johnson, next year? WTF!!! What about Clabo? Burnett? Miller? Boss?

Kelly the Dog Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Does this mean we can get our 1st round pick refunded for Spiller? Outside of some, if not all KR, I don't think he takes many if any touches away from Spiller. I would expect Spiller to be the back in the packages with Smith as much as Jackson. I'm really excited about this guy, always thought he was very good and under utilized. Gailey is drooling about it, no doubt. This doesn't lessen the need for a RT, though. If we can get Clabo or a good RT, i think our offense will not only be exciting, but pretty damn good. You'll see a lot of Spiller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
