Storm Front Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 The Bills trading Lamonica was pretty bad. Other than the Hughes trade, the Bills usually wind up getting the short end of the stick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ (not THAT RJ) Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Very unimpressed with that sites research. There are several trades in the realm of what they list, such as.......Welker to Pats for a 2nd & 7th......Faulk to Rams for a 2nd & 5th. They totally forgot the massive trade in 1974....Packers gave up 1975 1st, 2nd & 3rd round picks plus 1976 1st & 2nd round picks to get John Hadl. Young to 49ers.....Elway to Broncos......the Ricky Williams trade. Is it too soon to include the RG3 trade? Lists are great for interest sake (clicks) but I've noticed that very few put in any reasonable research. Too true. Most lists are taken from the top of the semi-informed twenty something intern's head. I had no idea the Pack gave up so much for Hadl. I know that they made the playoffs in 1972, and probably thought a top-flight QB would get them back on top. Instead, the 1970s and most of the 1980s were a long frustrating dry period for Green Bay. which is also something few people remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would dispute that.I think on trades they usually end up pretty good, much as Darcy did with the Sabres. Is all the rest of the moves that kill em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 It's not one of the worst in the NFL, but the Drew Bledsoe trade really bombed for the Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storm Front Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Wow, Hadl threw 6 TD's and 21 INT's in his one full season as QB of the Pack. At least they ended up with Lynn Dickey, who was pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VermontFan Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 (edited) It's not one of the worst in the NFL, but the Drew Bledsoe trade really bombed for the Bills.That's a hard one to measure, and hard to say that the trade "bombed." Bledsoe won us a significant number of games on his own, and is the best QB the Bills have had since Kelly. NE got our 2003 first, which ended up being #14. They then traded that and their sixth to the Bears to move up to 13 and grab Ty Warren, who was a solid player for them for a few years. With #14 the Bears took DL Michael Haynes, who was a bust. Also worth noting that the Bears were only at #13 because they traded #3 to the Jets, so that they could move up and grab Dewayne Robertson (also a bit of a bust). So yeah, the Pats definitely got a good player, but there's no telling that the Bills would've made the same moves if they'd been in that position. So I wouldn't say that the trade "bombed." Drew had us competitive in December, something you can't say about many recent Bills Quarterbacks. Edited January 16, 2015 by VermontFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I totally agree. I remember being head scratchingly stunned by the trade at that time. Yep. Total headscratcher. Btw, I wouldn't include the Welker trade, that was a poison pill situation that the scumbag Cheatriots put the Dolphins in a position where they had to make it or lose him for nothing.

johnwalter Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 peters forced us into it, so i'm not sure if it counts, but that was pretty bad. lost a HOFer. could say the same about marshawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We traded Jason Peters at $10million year and received Eric Wood for 5 years (near 2 million/yr) + a 4th + a 6th Each year we had eric wood + 8 million to spend on FA for LT jason peters....

Peter Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 If RGIII doesn't get his career on track, that trade will be on these lists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Ah....I didn't know about that. Thanks for the info. The Patriots told him and his agent and were working on a contract that would pay him several million dollars more if he played more than 4 games (or something like that) in the state of Florida. So the Dolphins wouldn't be able to match it and they would lose him for nothing. So they made that trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
