mdk Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 The Patriots success speaks for itself. Among other factors they generally draft, and retain, players that are 'smart and coachable'. The fumbles that caused the KC defeat were not first time offences for RB Brown and CB McKelvin. Would you package these players for a starting OL or high draft pick?

Canadian Bills Fan Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 You really think they would get us a high draft pick? CBF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Yeah man, I was kind of mad at Brown for 5min but I've never thought of wanting to package him for picks. As for McKelvin, where do above average to pretty good corners grow on trees? He's a good player who gets bonus points this week from me for telling Miami to suck it.

Bob Malooga Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 No, I would take McKelvin off return duties and let him focus on being our best cornerback. Because that's exactly what he has been for us the past 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Trade away players who we think suck for high draft picks. Works for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterpan Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 We'll, no. I likely wouldn't have traded for brown in the first place. I'd much rather we kept Stevie Johnson and have a stacked wr core. Running backs basically have to have two things to be worthwhile in my book. 1-never fumble and 2- read blocks. After that it's all gravy. Brown fumbles and spiller can't read blocks. MacKelvin is a good return man but he fumbles. I let him focus on corner bc he seems to be this defenses weak link (if I had to pick one). I'm surprised Corey graham hasn't gotten more chances after his early season success.

Mango Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 this line of thought is why we have been irrelevant for 14 years. you don't get rid of players without having a replacement plan for equal or better production. We currently don't have anybody on the roster to replace him, and similar to Byrd, we aren't gaining strength elsewhere by eliminating the salary. Stop, just stop.

San-O Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 I would not have resigned him myself, however not that they HAVE, I would never put the ball in his hands in an important situation. Even without the fumbles, he doesn't make good decisions when back there returning. If you could cut your losses, go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magox Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Yeah man, I was kind of mad at Brown for 5min but I've never thought of wanting to package him for picks. As for McKelvin, where do above average to pretty good corners grow on trees? He's a good player who gets bonus points this week from me for telling Miami to suck it. First I'd like to say the OP's question of whether or not we should package these players off is ludicrous. However, you were kind of mad about that play for 5 min? Dude, that play still bothers me now. If he doesn't fumble, that changes the whole dynamics of that game, we begin to pound the ball, they pass even more which plays right into our hands and we are 6-3.

26CornerBlitz Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 (edited) Did Belichick cut or trade Ridley because of his ball security issues? Nope! Case Closed! Edited November 13, 2014 by 26CornerBlitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Romes Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Yes. And cut Hogan. He is drop and fumble prone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNY Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Isn't McKlevin one of the 3 Bills with the most votes for the pro-bowl? Why would we get rid of a pro bowl caliber player? We rarely send players to the pro bowl anymore. I would just relieve him of his punt returning duties, I believe he's only in there because Spiller is out.

TheBillsWillRiseAgain Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 He's even been great returning punts. He just needs to learn to hang onto the ball. Mckelvin has become an important player on this team. I don't know why anyone would think it'd be a good idea to trade him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
