truth on hold Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 (edited) tough call but i went with stevie johnson, as we still need help at wr. peters was a close 2nd but his age have to wonder how many years he has left (he'd be my choice if age weren't a factor). similarly with marshawn, he's younger but rb's hit the wall sooner and he's starting to push 30.

BillsBackersChicago Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 (edited) Torn between lynch and levitre. Seems lynch has finally learned to pound the pile and use his size rather than the spiller-esque dancing behind the line that he used to do here. Levitre probably fills the largest position of need on the team as everyone who played guard this year is (at this point) a hot mess. That being said, while levitre is an upgrade to what we have, not sure he is the mauler type of guard that fits the type of line we are building (#buildabully). Marshawn fits the type of offense we are trying to build to a T (now that he has finally "got it"). So in the end, I chose marshawn, despite his off the field antics, which I actually think Rex couldn't care less about.

YoloinOhio Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Marshawn by a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I voted Marshawn. It really can't be anyone but Marshawn or Peters IMO. They are by far the 2 best players listed above and also happen to play 2 of the positions that the Bills need the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOVEMESOMEBILLS Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Lynch by a mile, especially with the offense the Bills want to run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDIGGZ Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 As much as I hate to say it, having Byrd back plus perhaps adding Revis or another quality corner would have made our defense Super Bowl quality. We still have a great defense don't get me wrong, but with a secondary like that we would have the kind of team that wins championships despite a bad offense (Seattle, Baltimore, Tampa Bay, etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also happen to play 2 of the positions that we need the most. It really is impossible to believe that it could be anyone else.  It would be an interesting list if you took those 2 off. At that point I'd probably lean towards Poz or a safety as they are the best football players of the group (even though offense is a bigger need).

Captain_Quint Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Jim Leonard!! I bet Rex tries to lure him out of retirement. He's only 32, he knows Rex's D, and he's familiar with Buffalo. He could still be a decent backup, but here or in Cleveland would probably be his only choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigK14094 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Lynch has blossomed in Seattle, but is near the end of his career. Further, he is still an attitude problem, like he was here. The Bills need help in the line, and Levetre makes a lot more sense to me...and, linemen play a lot longer career wise than backs. Marshawn is near the end of the line....maybe a season or two more at most. Levetre likely has another 5-7 years in him IF he is physically sound...which is an issue now I understand.

He will be cut this offseason. If you want to Leo the line take Peters back and bump Glenn inside or to RT and have bookends.
