Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 (edited) Retraction for what, everything he stated a year ago would still be true regardless of how much of a boy scout year they have. And yes so far they've been good, but it doesn't change any of the facts in the article, other than maybe people can change, but I'd want ot give it way more than one year before I'd write that article. So far al lthe questionable pickups have worked out. Darby, K Williams, Harvin, Richie I, and seems I'm leaving another out. Hopefully it will stay that way, Of al lof them the one I'd put the most fath in staying out of trouble would be Richie I It's just laughable how everything that people here rip the Pats fans for doing, turn around and do the same. A preseason article from a writer stating the Bills will only win five games, he's an idiot. Someone else says we're going to the Super Bowl and he's a genius. An on behalf of ESPN I'd like to thank the OP for bringing all this additional attention to this article. There sponsors also thank you. That is some logic. If the two players have a flawless year and stay out of trouble is Mike going to print a retraction? No. Edited September 28, 2015 by Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I wish I had $0.001 for every dollar The Bills spent on their Scouts and Private Investigators who run down every aspect of their potential draftees' shadowy history. When I say, "Pizza", you say: "PARTY"!!! Anyone - especially a "reporter" who thinks NFL teams don't THOROUGHLY vet all their potential draftees is probably wrong 90% of the time. I'm not saying all teams are that thorough, but most of them are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Grid Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 (edited) I bet he wants this headline back more: http://espn.go.com/blog/nflnation/post/_/id/162642/bills-must-turn-to-backup-plan-after-losing-josh-mccown-race The conclusion is his real journalistic gem: "Bills aren't going to find a quality starter at quarterback before next offseason, at the earliest."

EVERYONE had that opinion this offseason. The QB position was a laughing stock up until the preseason games. If you blame Rodak for that, you can have a field day with the world class experts at WGR.

Many thought their QB situation was a mess but few were dumb enough to think McCown would be an improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireChan Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 (edited) Wrong, few if any outside of Rodak thought the Bills losing out on McCown doomed them. Many thought their QB situation was a mess but few were dumb enough to think McCown would be an improvement. Another guy who didn't read. "If the pursuit from several NFL teams of free-agent quarterback Josh McCown could ever have been considered a sweepstakes, the Buffalo Bills have come out on the losing end. McCown, 35, agreed to a three-year deal Friday with the Cleveland Browns, choosing Buffalo's neighbors on Lake Erie over the quarterback-needy Bills. Plenty of Bills fans seem to be breathing a sigh of relief that McCown, a career backup who went 1-10 as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' starter last season, isn't the veteran the Bills ensured would arrive to compete with EJ Manuel. After all, McCown was an underwhelming option on what is a generally underwhelming quarterback market." Tell me more about how Rodak thought McCown was this great big loss. All he says is that he was the Bills plan A (which he was) and now they need to go to their backup plan (which they did). Groupthink hits hard.

White Linen Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 They are both contributing, but he was not wrong to bring up the fact that the off field issues should be a concern. "I'm not sure the Bills got a whole lot out of this draft. 2nd Round Ronald Darby CB, the Bills don't really need a CB. A move they must have been thinking about a couple years down the road. Same thing in the 5th round, the Bills don't need a RB and probably not next year either. The Bills draft as a whole is not going to be an immediate impact." This was from the video. Not one mention of the off field issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billshank Redemption Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 http://espn.go.com/blog/buffalo-bills/post/_/id/18643/bills-miss-the-mark-with-darby-williams-selections Hate Rodak as much as the next guy but I had no issue about this when it was written and I still don't. At the time no one was happy about Darby but he was a Bill and we stood behind him. Its 3 weeks in and who knows what will happen from now until January, just enjoy the ride.
