Cotton Fitzsimmons Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 If Maybin turns into any kind of a player with the Jets, it's going to yet another indicment in a long line of indicments against the quality of our organization. Not that 1 sack against third stringers is an indication of that just yet, but it is far more productive than anything he did during his time here. As a Bill, Maybin was getting tossed around equally from starters to training camp fodder it seemed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpberr Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Vernon Gholston always looked great in training camp and preseason. It's why the Jets kept him as long as they did, and why the Bears are giving him a shot. Trent Edwards taught me that preseason is almost an alternate dimension of reality to the the regular season. I'll save any indictment of OBD until after Maybin is voted to the Pro Bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whateverdude Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Well, Bills castoffs never do well after the Bills give up on them, right? Leonard, Bannan, etc. all suck. On March 3, 2011, the Broncos released Bannan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5 Wide Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 On March 3, 2011, the Broncos released Bannan He did have quite a few nice years rotating in on the Baltimore line, but he is more or less just another guy in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buftex Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 (edited) 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. The guy I am most surprised that hasn't caught on anywhere is Josh Reed. He wasn't great, but, he defined the term "decent receiver" to me...once he failed to make the Chargers squad last year, nobody was interested. With all the injuries that every team suffers at the position, you would think he would have found a home somewhere. I always thought he was the kid of player that the Patriots would have made into a household name... Vernon Gholston always looked great in training camp and preseason.

Wathced a little bit of the Raiders/49ers game last night...Trent threw one of the worst interceptions I can remember ever seeing him throw...ugly. Not all that much pressure, and he tried to heave it over double coverage, along the left sideline to a guy that was so not open...meanwhile, he had a HB wide open in fron of him, who most likely would have picked up at least 8 yards or so...I wonder if he makes that team.

Bob in STL Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Dan Lefavaewho? Exactly. He's playing against 3rd stringers. No surprise here. He made a few plays against 3rd and 4th stringers in preseason last year too. Then he did crazy celebrations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metzelaars_lives Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 So wait, you're saying......wait for it.....that he should have "checked down"? I watched him play in the 2nd quarter last night on NFLN. He looked pathetic. He made a couple easy throws, but just looked hurried, nervous and erratic. He is not an NFL QB.

DDD Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Well, Bills castoffs never do well after the Bills give up on them, right? Leonard, Bannan, etc. all suck. I suspect Whitner, Evans, and Puz will do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cvanvol Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 pretty awesome he celebrated before trying to get the ball on the ground, the patented run around the outside lol... gets em every time I suspect Whitner, Evans, and Puz will do the same. I still dont believe any Bills Castoff has ever done that well, there have been a few that have become average NFL players and I guess you could consider Leonard a good NFL starter (on an amazing defense that hides his flaws) but there hasnt been any player that became a stars after we let them go.

8-8 Forever? Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 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. PTR He MAY do alright as a situational rusher, IF he is surrounded by top defensive players (which he is in NY). He may actually get some "coverage" sacks with the Jets defense, which you know the NY media will shove down Bills fans throats. Talk about insult added to injury.....
