Kelly the Dog Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 A friend of mine, who watches every Rams snap religiously, says he is - and I quote - "a bag of ass". Well, we're hoping he is a Louis Vuitton bag of ass or a Jessica Alba bag of ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Except seattle you know won a superbowl and stuff, the Bills dont even get invited to the party... Seattle's Superbowl "formula" was to have a good defense (great), and get lucky with drafting a QB. They have the luxury right now have being A) a winner, B) lots of their young talent on rookie contracts and C) players willing to take a slight discount to stay. Oh yeah, the got lucky drafting a great QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Yup, Lawson was considered an underachiever. So was that Jerry Hughes guy? Who did they work out? I said it multiple times but this is what the 49ers do. Get former high picks and see what they get. We don't have to invest high picks or mega bucks and we get to see if they can get the talent out that allowed them to be high picks in the 1st place. I wanted them to get Jonathan Martin in here. You won't bat 100% but IMO, they are good gambles. i am also reminded of alan branch and that turned out. while i am hesitant, it seems like a decent journeyman vet signing. i'm not going to say he's amazing, but it gives us time to develop a later round pick with some promise.

3rdand12 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 already informed everyone of that. Thanks his name is dopey . You didnt notice that ? And he is one of us so.. be nice. In regard to the signing, if the Bills see something in him i am fine with that. Seems to be a starter and is can be moved. We really need that with Hairston being a question. He has lots of NFL exp. The rams line allowed very few sacks. we need that. And as mentioned he will be enjoying an upgrade being on the Bills line. A surrounding cast makes a difference. He might become a very solid fit. Im giving him a vote of confidence just because there is no way in hell, Marrone allows his LG to perform as last years effort. He has egg on his face and he and Whaley know it. Fans kinda took offense too Patience people . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 https://twitter.com/...0884992/photo/1 Love that picture. I'd also love to see posters try to talk crap to Williams or Marrone in person. Some big boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Polians draft tracker didnt show more than 1 guy that was higher rated... Everyone was yelling that we needed a guard and this guy was a top AVAILABLE guy... What do you want!!! its simply not a trustworthy rating system, which ive mentioned in a few threads. if you want to bypass every other ranking out there and only look at it though, youll wonder why theres any fuss over byrd walking and think we just hit a grand slam despite the guy being a first rounder already hitting his third team and being described as shakey by his local press last year and rated lowest on his line by PFF. this board has REALLY latched onto polians tracker though.

Since 1972 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) Would the signing of CW be considered an "aggressive" FA signing? Edited March 12, 2014 by kidprison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. And I don't think one person has said it was an amazing signing. But the majority who are supporting it (which you would think all Bills fan would) is to give it a chance. Whaley had a really good offseason last year (Hughes, Kiko, Woods, Branch, etc.) He hasn't been the GM for the last 14 years. Only the last 1.

Well, Polian is one of the greatest GMs ever. Should we go by St. Louis' Tim Graham or Polian? And as someone who thinks Polian is slightly overrated, he was absolutely great at spotting offensive line talent. In fact, that might be the thing he did best.

I like him a lot. The one place he struck out was at LG but you cannot fix everything in one year. His draft was terrific, albeit with EJ being an unknown still. The trade for Hughes was great. His FA signing were pretty solid with Lawson, Branch, and UDFA Robey, as well as the Leodis extension. That's a nice first year. He needs to do it again but he seems to be starting on shakier ground.

BADOLBILZ Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Okay guys, enough. Some of you have made yourselves quite clear in that the only reason you're posting is to crap on this move and everything the team does...you've made your point, now please move on and let the rest of us that want to have an actual discussion about Chris Williams, the deal, the LG position, etc. do so. There are times when you seem coherent and then others when you just say something utterly ridiculous.....like demanding that people not make a negative comment about the signing of a player who has been considered a career disappointment. Let the "discussion" fall where it may. If you have a point, make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As quite a few of us will i bet .I know who you meant i just would not compare him to ... well ..anyone except richie. just too freaky for me to consider as a Bill. Glad they got Williams.
