Maybin sighting haha


Recommended Posts

Well, Bills castoffs never do well after the Bills give up on them, right? Leonard, Bannan, etc. all suck.

 

it is rare with a few exceptions. For every hargrove and pat williams there is a trent edwards, losman, mccargo, kirk chambers, dockery, ko simpson, and just a ton of players that dropped out of the league after leaving the bills.

If Maybin does anything in the NFL then he is an asswart because we gave him two years and a boatload of money to do anything with the Bills. If he suddenly flips the switch now for minimum money then eff him. :angry:

I won't say I expect, because I don't, but it's possible. He's young, was put in 2 totally different positions (DE and OLB), didn't have a ton of talent around him... And it's only been 2 seasons, one of which got a late start due to the holdout, and then the lockout....

 

 

It would be a big surprise still, but I wont say it's been ideal circumstances to evaluate him. Not that I've seen even a flicker of hope really...

I don't get the personal hate directed towards Maybin in this group. Its not as if he chose to under perform to the level he was drafted at. He worked hard, never caused locker room trouble, and was generally a good guy. He just didn't live up to the expectations of the coaches.

 

I wish him the best and hope he dominates on the Jets for 14 weeks of the year.

When you are picked 11th overall, you are supposed to be the talent around the other guys...see Peyton Manning.

Let's not get crazy. 1 sack, 3rd string, preseason game. He is 225. if he can start at OLB, thats going to be one of the smallest OLBs in a 3-4 to ever play in the game.

Yea, the best #1 pick of the last 15 years is a good reference point to judge average first round value. Truth is the 10-20 range is very much hit or miss. An average mid first round pick is going to be a moderately above average starter in most cases. It's always awesome to hit one out of the park. The guys that have huge success are often those that land in great situations. This was definitely not a good place for him. A guy that was younger than average, smaller than average, with a learning curve that was expected did not need 3 headcoaches in 2 seasons, 2 different positions, a lockout etc.... on top of the holdout.

 

Who knows what he would be today if drafted by a team like the jets, steelers, or ravens. Odds are also a bum, but there's no doubt he wouldve had a better chance in a stable place, with a history of player development, and veteran talent and leadership around him.

 

I don't want to sound like I'm making excuses for him just trying to represent the other half of the story. That all said, I still think maybin was a bum pick, with so many better fits staring us in the face. I think the weight issues really make him a lost cause, but it'd be interesting to know more about his nutrition plan vs his execution of it.
