Bufcomments Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 If Javis Jones AND Geno are on the board when the Bills pick they have a very tough choice to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max997 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 (edited) I am almost as much against Jones as I was against Maybin Bills are not in a position to take a risk on a player at 8 no matter how small a risk some might think it is Edited March 12, 2013 by Max997 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metzelaars_lives Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 (edited) Wasn't Thurman Running Back 34 in Tecmo Bowl? First and foremost, that is Tecmo Super Bowl. The greatest video game of all-time, sports or otherwise. Period, end of story. And no, every player in the game allowed their name to be used save for three: Kelly, Cunningham and Kosar (who are QB Bills, QB Eagles and QB Browns respectively). Newbs will tell you how great Randall is- and he's good, don't get me wrong- but if you know how to play defense, the Eagles are very beatable. Same with the Raiders and Bo Jackson. You wanna play me and be the Raiders? I'll beat you with the Bucs. Jay Schroeder sucks. It is far more important to have a good QB. And also very critical that you have a fast DB. Testaverde is underrated. I could go all night... Edited March 12, 2013 by metzelaars_lives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaninATL Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I agree and disagree, you can never have too many pass rushing monsters in Pettine's D and Jones is compared to Von Miller. There is a huge risk however with his health, u must weigh out risk vs. reward with him at #8. The linebacker I really like is his teamate Alec Ogletree. None of the "experts" on this board have a clue as to Jones' supposed "health issues" - he played his entire college career after the initial diagnosis; a mild form of spinal stenosis, which is a narrowing of the spinal canal. At this point in his life (young & active), this will be monitored but is relatively benign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Anderson's Lunch Pail Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I am almost as much against Jones as I was against Maybin Bills are not in a position to take a risk on a player at 8 no matter how small a risk some might think it is What is the risk? Not the spinal stenonsis, I hope That's garbage. USC team doctors have that opinion, but apparently the SEC sees no issue. No credible doctor would allow him to play and incur a catastrophic injury if they had any concerns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coseybedaman Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 1. If we pick Eddie Lacy I will cry. Running back is our only solid position on the whole offense. Are you guys serious? 2. Please dont compare Jarvis Jones to Aaron maybin. That is just laughable. Not to mention just because we have Mario Williams and invested a lot of money does not mean that we have a pass rush. We still had one of the worst in the league. WE NEED PASS RUSHERS! 3. This team has so many holes that it would be real tough to miss on the #8 overall. We need to keep Levitre here though. We finally have a nice oline for the first time in years. Lets not dismantle it before they ever reach their potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikuman Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 (edited) If only Luke Kuechly had lasted one pick longer....we'd be complaining that we still need a corner. Edited March 12, 2013 by nikuman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that now make my statement an informed one ? It lends more credibility but the same rules apply. You're not a physician, you haven't seen his X-rays and scans. And even if you were and you had, I'm thinking when one physician declares him a risk and another one doesn't that Jones' medical condition is probably in a grey area. NONE of us know. Even the doctors don't really "know." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jones could wind up leading a long & healthy career, while another high draft pick with a clean bill of health could blow out his knee in training camp. It's a crapshoot.
