truth on hold Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 When mckelvin and McGee are on the field together mckelvin gets #1 receiver duty. And does an adequate job. McGee just doesn't seem to be able to hang with them anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Long Beach Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 sorry. had to try it just once. that said, in all seriousness, there is no official or unoffical word to confirm speculative reports that Terrence McGee has been released. jw You should absolutely not apologize! It was well played. Just remember, like revenge, it's a dish best served cold. Oh, and thanks for the (actual) update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdand12 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Unless they have their eye on somebody who can step up, this is bad timing for us. We will finally stop the run and force the pass. We should give him another year. But i said and still feel the same in regard to L Evans. ( another story of course?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vincec Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Unless McGee is not one of the best 5 cornerbacks on the team, cutting him is a cost saving move plain and simple. Since the Bills are well under the salary cap there is no reason to do this from a football perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orton's Arm Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 (edited) Unless McGee is not one of the best 5 cornerbacks on the team, cutting him is a cost saving move plain and simple. Since the Bills are well under the salary cap there is no reason to do this from a football perspective. I agree that cost cutting is probably an important part of the equation. But there's more to the story than just that. The Bills are a rebuilding team. If the Bills were to cut McGee, it would afford their younger players more playing time; and would free up a roster spot for a younger player. The Bills are at least two years away from being a serious threat to go deep into the playoffs. By then, most of whatever value McGee as a player has will have faded. Let's say hypothetically speaking that McGee is one of the five best CBs for this year's team; and that cutting him costs the Bills one win they otherwise would have had. That extra loss could significantly improve the Bills' draft position, potentially enabling them to take a franchise QB with their first pick. Obtaining a franchise QB is the one step most necessary to convert the Bills from a perpetual pretender into a consistent contender. It's important to envision the kind of team you want the Bills to have three years from now, and to ask yourself what role, if any, you'd envision for McGee on that future team.

If the Bills were to cut McGee, it would afford their younger players more playing time; and would free up a roster spot for a younger player. All it takes for younger players to get playing time is for the coach to tell them go go out on the field. McGee will not tie them to the bench. Are the future prospects of the #5 corner on the team more valuable than a veteran starter, even over a 3 or 4 year period? Unlikely. I mean who are they cutting McGee to make room for??? The Bills are at least two years away from being a serious threat to go deep into the playoffs. By then, most of whatever value McGee as a player has will have faded. Then why not wait two years to cut him?

I don't believe that the Bill are intentionally playing to lose so that they can improve their draft position. If this was really true, then I would never support this team again, but I don't believe it. Professional players and coaches want to perform well and be successful. Their jobs are on the line.

Amen, vincec! It amazes YE OLE that some have become so jaded by this era of bad football that they start believing this line about being a "rebuilding" team. "Well we won't be good for another 2 years and by then player X will have diminished value..." It's counterproductive to continue that way of thought. If we continue to cut our better players, we continue to chase our tail and that "2 more year" window remains a "2 more year" window every season. If McGee is one of the best 5 CB's on this team there's no excuse to cut him loose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan89 Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 McGee should be on the roster he is one of the best 4 corners we have. If there was a dynamic young player he would be taking playing time away from then yeah cut him BUT there will be injuries and Aaron Williams will be getting playing time even if McGee makes the roster. Also without McGee we lose a lot of the depth in the secondary. Without McGee Reggie Corner is the first corner off the bench in case of injury. It would be a stupid move if they cut McGee. While I don't think that McGee is destined to be on this team in the long run he certainly has a year left in him to contribute to this team. At best he has another 2 seasons in him. Although I think that you have to be crazy to think that the depth and experience McGee would provide this season isn't valuable to this team, this season. If the Bills wanted to shop for a replacement for McGee next off-season fine but there isn't a replacement on the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
