Joaquin1119 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Lets say if Hughes wants a big contract. Do you think the bills should sign Michael Sam? Yes i know he gay, but I honestly believe this kid is truly hungry to play in nfl. I also would like to think he would fit just right in our Dline. I would sign this kid and see how he does in training camp and pre season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCinBuffalo Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 (edited) Depends. Are we looking for phony PR-->marketing bump value? Are we not deriving enough revenue from the LBGT community, and would this get us more? Are we trying to make ourselves feel morally superior? do we need a LAMP moment? are we starving for attention? are we desperate to be called "courageous" by some media dingbat whose approval we crave? are we looking to score PC points at the next dinner party, by pointing to the enlightenment of our football team, compared to everybody else's at the table? do we/the Bills feel we need more Facebook friends/likes? are we planning a new hashtag/selfie campaign? If yes to any of those? Of course. But, if we are talking about winning football games? Then no F'ing way. Of course not.

GunnerBill Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 (edited) St Louis liked him but remained concerned that he was too small to be a 4-3 end in the NFL. He played well for them in his pre-season action and to all extents and purposes had a good camp, but they couldn't find room for him on a deep D-Line. At that point I thought he had a shot at the NFL. His stock was high and St Louis is one of the deeper D-Lines and you had to think there were other situations where he might stick. When he was picked up by Dallas I thought it was a perfect opportunity for him. Their D-Line isn't very deep and I could see a need in Dallas for someone like Sam as a rotational situational pass rusher. However, what came out of his time at Dallas is that he really struggled. They were concerned that he lacked foot speed and had no variety to his rushes. It was bull rush or nothing and at his size you are simply not going to bull rush your way through top NFL o-lines... and I doubt he got much success in practice against that strong Dallas line. It is not a surprise to me that nobody has picked him up since. They are not failing to sign him because of his sexuality, they are failing to sign him because just like dozens of others each year he had a decent camp with one team, was the wrong side of the roster bubble but then got a practice squad chance somewhere else and flamed out. I think he might well get an invite to camp somewhere this year too... but I suspect that will be his last chance. I am not against the Bills taking that kind of flyer on him, but we have a deep d-line too and I very much doubt he would stick here even if Jerry Hughes walks in FA. Cleveland actually wouldn't be a bad spot for him.... given Pettine's penchanct for situational rush packages.... likewise wherever Todd Bowles ends up. But the odds are now firmly stacked against Michael Sam being a successful NFL player and at the end of the day like the vast majority of players - it will come down to talent and talent alone.

Dragonborn10 Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I thought he did fine for the Rams. He might be a good fit as back-up strong side LB, pass rusher, and part time special teams guy. Not saying he is a difference maker but I thought he did enough in pre-season last year to get another camp invite somewhere. Could be the anti-Incognito signing...

Dragonborn10 Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Not just a PR stunt. I thought he played well enough in preseason to make a team. Rams were deep at DE. He projects better as a strong side LB anyways. Many more areas to worry about on this team than LB but either Lawson or Rivers are likely to be cut - maybe both.
