Ozymandius Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 . No. I'm saying "I told you so" to all the people that said Von Miller was too small and too weak to be a game changer in the NFL. " just look at the tape of the Nebraska TE dominating him". Just look at him now. Superstar. The funny thing is Miller got two sacks in that game and was a constant threat to the Nebraska QB buzzing around him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, " but look at the tape, it's obvious that he's not big enough or strong enough to excel in the NFL". End sarcasm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonborn10 Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Well it looks like all the controversy about Cam Newton and Von Miller being drafted by the Bills would have been unfounded. Why is it that the Bills just miss out on HOF caliber players? Makes me think of when Patrick Willis just came of the board and the Bills went to plan B in Marshawn Lynch. Marv Levy was quoted saying even if Willis was available he wasn't going to take him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan89 Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 One he was picked ahead of us so its not like we could have had him. Two I love Dareus. Its kind of like arguing you wanted a Porsche instead of an Aston Martin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ny33 Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 To my understanding, Nix would have drafted Gabbert if Newton and Dareus were off the board. Please correct me if I am incorrect, but I recall a story leaking the Bills' draft board, and Miller was not in the top 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its kind of like arguing you wanted a Porsche instead of an Aston Martin.<br />. One, I could careless if he was taken ahead of him. Two, I just wanna hear from some of the "size nazis" that were praying we wouldnt draft him cuz he was too small. It was a heated debate on here for quite some time. Fun debates.

Buffalo Barbarian Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Where are the guys that were saying Von Miller is too small and weak to be effective in the NFL? So many people ranting: "he gets manhandled by college TEs, the NFL tackles will eat him alive". well, you're wrong. I love Dareus. I'm glad we have him. I'm gonna get crucified for this, but I'd rather have Miller. Having a PREMIER pass rusher is so important in today's game and Miller IS a premier pass rusher. Dareus will be a dominant player for years to come and will hopefully anchor our defense for his entire career, but until we get premier pass rusher, our defense will continue to struggle (even after Edwards is axed). This isn't an anti Dareus post, he's the best player on our roster (fred ex may have something to say about that), but a hail Von Miller post. The guy is an absolute monster. 9 tackles 1 sack (maybe 1.5) a FF. The sack pretty much ended the game. 9 or 10 sacks on the season, only 2 games in which he hasn't gotten to the qb. He's not a Bill, but I'm a fan. Lets hope he doesn't end fitz in a couple weeks. Don't worry we will draft on this year and then we will the best DE and OLB in the league, perhaps Courtney Upshaw or Whitney Mercilus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webster Guy Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 So now we're complaining about players we had no shot at? Not at all. Read the post again. He's saying its interesting that Von is such a force already and complimenting his effectiveness. The only complaint was yours.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ny33 Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 What matters to me is that two of our picks this draft, other than Dareus, become above-average starters. Here's to hoping Williams, Sheppard, or Searcy can develop into quality players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juror#8 Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 (edited) The question is will people take something from their "knowledge" gained with respect to future drafts. Not to thread jack, but the volume of "Cam Newton is Jamarcus Russell - redux" threads was over-whelming. He has been anything but; and though a few have owned up to their mistakes, the prominent "Jamarcus Russell redux" voices have been conspicuously quiet. Hmmmm..... By the way, this is the opening salvo in my dedicated push for the Bills to draft Robert Griffin III! I imagine that if I mention his name enough, there will be a natural acceptance/acclimation process. I figure that some people here have to get used to the idea of a black QB in advance.

JTO Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I think it's easier to get a Pass Rusher than a big DT as dominating as Dareus. Now that we have fortified our front guys we can now continue to draft /sign p layers that will make us stronger. With that said, I'm sure Moates can become a phenom if the right defensive coaches are around him. Here's to Edwards has got to go campaign!

Armchair GM Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 That last sack by Miller, all I can say is wow Yeah...reminded me of a guy named Bruce. Not comparing the two, just on that play....bull rush, pushed the blocker out of the way with one hand and smacked Dirty right in themouth! I let a big "YES!!" out and woke up my daughter!

Each one of them create a stupid post like this one saying "oh my god I'm so sorry for saying Miller was too small, here I am, I'm not hiding now that he's a "premier pass rusher", punish me as you see fit". Secondly who gives a crap, he was drafted before our pick, what would it matter if no one said he was too small?
