1billsfan Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 TD- I know this: Travis Henry is a good football player and a good back, and we're not going to give him away." Translation- Don't come-a-knockin' unless you have a 2nd rounder to offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VABills Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 No translation is he is a good "running" running back. He has some issues and yes he is a locker room cancer, but I would prefer to get a 3rd or 4th before I have to cut him prior to training camp.

stevestojan Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Listen, if we can get a 3rd rounder for Mr. Osteoporosis, I think we have to jump on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomerjamhead Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 I still think he'll be part of a trade for a tight end. Just a hunch.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfladave Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 A 3rd with a conditional 06 draft pick might get the deal done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was good back dealt a bad hand and he handled it just fine. Dozens of other players would have blown up and pouted and this and that. Travis just folded under the pressure, not his fault, but he did. THen he got hurt and here we all are talking about what a piece of sh-- he is apparantly. Well, i refuse to downgrade my opinion of henry because without mcgahee he'd still be a more than acceptable option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he wanted to up his trade value, he should have been standing, cheering, and greet Willis after EVERY one of his touchdowns... he can be thinking "you punk kid, i hope you're other knee goes", but his outward appearence was of a big pouting baby... if he had done the spectrum opposite, i bet you could EASILY get a 2nd rounder for him... shows character... teams like that.

End of story. You were right on TH all along about his physical/mental abilities on the field. Why now make yourself look like a fool by spewing unfounded nonsense?

Plus...it's extremely doubtul the team's going to say anything like "He's an immature punk and a locker room cancer" about a player they want to move. Overall...I'll go with Henry's history of immaturity and poor judgement over the statements of people who have a vested interest in portraying him otherwise.

I see.... People never change and learn from their mistakes right? We were all of the same maturity level immediately after leaving college as we are 3 or 4 years after the fact, right?

BillsGuyInMalta Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 As for Travis, if we can get a 2nd-3rd for him, I'd be very content. Lets face it, if you find a willing buyer you can essentially rape them for whatever you want (*cough cough* Atlanta *cough cough*). Who was it that gave up a 3rd rounder for that offensive megastar Lamar Gordon? If the Bills find a team that really has a hard-on for Travis, teams like the Raiders, Cards or Browns spring to mind, then you could easily snag a 2nd rounder and help solidify our roster in the draft.

But until they prove they do, what are you supposed to judge them by? Your personal warm, fuzzy feeling that everything works out best for them? When Travis proves he's a mature adult, then I'll credit him. Not when people otherwise motivated say he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were all of the same maturity level immediately after leaving college as we are 3 or 4 years after the fact, right? 197236[/snapback] But what you're doing is assuming, with absolutly zero evidence, that it is MORE likely that he has changed. You see what Im saying? Why would you assume he has changed for the better with no evidence of that? Is it because he just happened to wear the Bills Jersey? I mean, if this guy had worn a Miami teal and turquois jersey, I have a hard time believing you would be digging for the possibilty that he is such a great team player. He pouted all season, because a rookie showed him up. Showed him HOW TO RUN, and how to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To have someone come along now and say he he is a humble and nice guy would not be accurate. Until there is evidence other than one or two people saying so, still makes DC Tom an egotistical jerk.
