LabattBlue Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 At the time of the draft, I thought Curry was a can't miss, Pro Bowl, 10 year starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't be far from Kiper's . Plus you come much cheaper... Hows your hair? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanC883 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 You mean the drafts gurus......WERE WRONG??? PTR Seattle sucks. I think this kid will find his rythym. Sometimes you need to be on a different team. Look at Fitz. He bounced around as a backup until he had Chan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billshank Redemption Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 i remember them saying he was the safest pick in the draft and it wasn't kiper it was everyone from mayock to actual nfl scouts. Im just starting to become more and more a fan of buddys sec strategy. Wake is a small school and even in the acc probably doesn't see the opponents a marcel dareus or sheppard saw on a weekly basis.

I hate the Bills ! Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Yes and we all thought that Poz was the 2nd coming of Shane Conlan, look at how that turned out ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 (edited) Seattle sucks. I think this kid will find his rythym. Sometimes you need to be on a different team. Look at Fitz. He bounced around as a backup until he had Chan. There is some truth to that...maybe. Sometimes a bust is a bust. But it's also possible a player gets hurt, misused or badly coached. A lot of factors in play. This is one reason why I roll my eyes at all the Andrew Luck hype, like it's etched in stone that he's a future hall of famer.

Amen. I have said it before on here, Ralph Wilson noticed that the SEC has won or played for the National Chamnpionship the last 6 years. He went out and got a guy that knows the south inside and out. He also got a coach with a lot of Southern ties. Sorry to my northern friends, but football is king in the South. Give me guys from the SEC all day long, and i cant fault you. They see the best competition week in and week out. If you can be a stud in the SEC you will more likely be a solid player in the pro's then a guy from Big Ten or Pac Ten Edited October 12, 2011 by atlbillsfan1975 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Tuesday Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Curry was not universally thought of as a "sure thing." His measurables and football character were off of the charts. But the lack of explosive plays in college - sacks especially (he had only 9.5 over four years at Wake) - had some draft analysts worried about whether he was truly worth a top-five pick. It's still a surprise that he'd be demoted and traded so quickly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSaint Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Has he been THAT bad, or just mediocre for where he was picked. Not living up to expectations and not being an NFL player are 2 different things. I haven't seen him play, so I have no idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
....lybob Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 At the time of the draft, I thought Curry was a can't miss, Pro Bowl, 10 year starter. here too - I thought some team would move him to the middle and he'd have Patrick Willis like numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanCity Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I have seen him play every game for the past two years. He is no Maybin. Guy has strength, a motor and tonnes of heart. I don't know what happened with him and the coaches, but he hits hard and consistently gets into the backfield and makes plays. Something is off on this one. Fans were on his case for some boneheaded plays, but they weren't for lack of effort. Maybe he doesn't listen to instruction as well as they would like?

Geno Smith's Arm Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 The Raiders are going to win the AFC West. Perhaps, but do you think it will be because they picked up Curry? I don't... Amen. I have said it before on here, Ralph Wilson noticed that the SEC has won or played for the National Chamnpionship the last 6 years. He went out and got a guy that knows the south inside and out. He also got a coach with a lot of Southern ties. Sorry to my northern friends, but football is king in the South. Give me guys from the SEC all day long, and i cant fault you. They see the best competition week in and week out. If you can be a stud in the SEC you will more likely be a solid player in the pro's then a guy from Big Ten or Pac Ten Yep. That is why the team has turned around so fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Jose Bills Fan Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 You mean the drafts gurus......WERE WRONG??? PTR Not necessarily but their "batting average" is pretty ordinary. Seattle sucks. I think this kid will find his rythym. Sometimes you need to be on a different team. Look at Fitz. He bounced around as a backup until he had Chan. I agree. One game in particular sticks out in my mind when Curry was a rookie in a game against the St. Louis Rams. Curry looked awesome. Big motor, very physical, and a mean streak. Don't know what happened to him but every once in awhile, a player and a team don't seem to fit well. Also, he was drafted by the previous regime so that might factor in too. not even close to comparable. poz was a 2nd rounder for a reason. curry looked like a !@#$ing beast. absolutely can't miss type of player. i'm pretty shocked. maybe he becomes the player he should've been in oakland. he's got crazy talent. it bothers me that i can't tell if you're being sarcastic.... I agree that I've seen Curry look like a beast on NFL playing fields. I couldn't believe when I heard the news that he'd been demoted behind Chris White's college teammate, KJ Wright. And yes, The Senator is being sarcastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
