The Big Cat Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Can he be brought back and designated to the practice squad? I don't think he should take up a roster spot. But who knows if this was the wake up call he needed or whether he's become so poisonous to the rest of the league that we can sit him on a shelf until he's physically and mentally ready to play this game. Dude is still really young. Might be worth keeping in a jar. Ya never know. That said, I get it. Right now he sucks. Right now he's King **** Head. Okay, great. Now nobody has to respond in kind. Now we can have a Maybin thread does something other than hate on the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Is he considering changing his position to strong safety? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerball Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Been active for too many games to qualify for the PS. I believe that he is now free to negotiate with any team, but at whatever salary they think he deserves. If he had been claimed it would have been for his rookie contract amount. could be wrong though be done with him Now we can have a Maybin thread does something other than hate on the guy. good luck with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Flowers Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 (edited) Is he considering changing his position to strong safety? At somewhere between 4.7-4.9 speed? Let's hope not. good luck with that good call Edited August 16, 2011 by Erik Flowers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jauronimo Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Is he considering changing his position to strong safety? He might have the height and weight to translate to another position, but he doesn't have safety speed. It seems like his biggest problem was also a lack of football instincts. He got fat speed rushing a few lineman from East Carolina Cow College who are now bagging groceries. Against even top tier college talent he was ineffective. Against pros, it was embarrassing. When they moved him to LB, he was lost. Aaron is young, and I can feel for a young guy who's definitely at a crossroads in his life. He seems to have other interests and ambitions. Maybe he can parlay some of his fame into success in another field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marauderswr80 Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 I really wanted to see the kid put at TE and take a year to work on that position. I watched him almost chase down Knox from the bears on that kickoff return man....Maybin is very fast. I bet he could be a decent TE. But what do I know...

But what do I know... :wallbash: He is 25 lbs too light to be a LB. He would be 45 lbs too light to play tight end. With his height and weight, he is closest to a WR. And he is not fast. His 40 times are all over the place but beside the one outlier at his pro day (friendly hand on the stop watch, no doubt), most times have him in the 4.7-4.9 range. That is not fast.

White Linen Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 I'm not saying that I wouldn't be willing to give him some time, but I believe there's no chance the Bills FO and coaching staff ever want to see him again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGB Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 He joins the rest of some other Bill's wasted # 1 picks as they did not perform as expected (impact players) drafted so high: Eric Flowers, Mike Williams, J.P. Losman, John McCargo Hopefully we have most all of the dead weight off of this team now and can move onward and upward. Go Bills! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a fool to support a Bills player, a damn fool. I should have behaved like a real fan and run him out of town before he was even fitted for his uniform.

The Wiz Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 According to Schefter Tweet he's now an UFA. Bout the most exciting thing he's ever done for Bills nation. And less physical. A tight end needs to block and catch. I doubt he can do either. I'm sure he's good an blocking the running back from getting out of the backfield and good at catching them when they get slammed on top of him(since he's usually on the ground anyways).
