Hardcore Bills Fan Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 'sigh' every offseason just because a player has a name people know he is put on the Bills must have list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler#81 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Can he 'switch' gears and be a 'sometime' back? Can he 'switch' positions? He'd be a switch.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill from NYC Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 (edited) He is an old, used up criminal and will want too much money. Other than that I like him. Edited March 23, 2017 by Bill from NYC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habes1280 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Okay, I'll bite. As a Bills fan living in Minnesota, and suffering through a lot of Vikings games, I can tell you that he's not a fit for this offense. He might be a phenom athletically, but he's a complete liability in the passing game-- cannot pass block, can't run routes, and positively cannot catch. Defenses leave him virtually uncovered in pass routes and dare you to throw at him. He offers some value in short-yardage play action situations, but no more than the backs we currently have on the roster, and our backs are a threat once the ball is snapped. Additionally, he has significant ball-security problems, and puts the ball on the turf far more than you'd like for a player commanding his kind of salary. So in sum, this isn't a fit for either party. AP likely doesn't want to sign for a team aspiring for no more than a wildcard berth, and the Bills have (or should have) little interest in an expensive 32 year old running back who spent a significant portion of last year on the IR and who would require a change in offensive philosophy-- especially when there's every reason to believe he'd be outplayed by at least one back currently on the roster. My two cents... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy10 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 no it qualifies you for nothing. 300000000 posts qualifies you as much as anyone here with 90000000. You win one free internet I liken them more to stats in minor league baseball. You may hit a ton in developmental A-ball, but let's see how you do with sliders, coherent thoughts, cutters, correctly used metaphors, that sort of thing.

Coach Tuesday Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 "Kick the can"? So you mean like, keep putting it off? Right? I mean come on people, this ain't rocket surgery! Brutal. A survey of this board on an average day makes me concerned about our nation's public schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_In_NH Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 (edited) If Whaley did this, he would deserve lots of criticism. It does not make any sense at all for AP or the Bills. "Kick the can"? So you mean like, keep putting it off? HAHA, OP obviously mean "kick the tires" ? Edited March 23, 2017 by mattynh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodneykm Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 He will sign with the Pats in order to get that ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDO'Kearney Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 because it would be cool as heck. seriously. I would love to have him for one year as #2 to LeSean. He can catch too. But it is just fantasy. Nothing says to me he or Bills would have interest in doing business It's cool in Madden, I suppose. I bet AP wouldn't accept a #2 role, or #2 pay, happily. He might end up there, but why add an unhappy guy to an already effective rushing team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

offsides#76FredSmerlas Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Stop making threads just for the sake of hearing yourself talk. Not happening so why even do this?

offsides#76FredSmerlas Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I'm tired of guys like you thinking you are the Bills board Nazi patrol. If a fan wants to bring up a topic or a point then they should he able to instead of idiots like you trying to control the board like you are the expert on forums. In response to the post; I'm sure the Bills kick the tires on a number of guys but we will never know about every phone call, text, and personal communication between agents, players and third parties. The fans don't have an open ear to all talks so my guess is the Bills have an idea of details such as where Peterson wants to play, how much money he is asking, and on how long he wants to work out a contract for. Some people like to get mad at the Bills when they don't hear a guy they feel they should be attempting to get but we the fans have very little knowledge with what goes on behind the scenes. Yes, even with today's media and technology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodneykm Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I didn't find anything wrong with the topic of this thread. At worst, its a neat thing to think about. Obviously, it'll likely never happen but that's not really the point is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

offsides#76FredSmerlas Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 (edited) If you guys hate the topic so much then why have some of you complainers already post several times. It seems like you feed off this stuff. I don't agree at all about picking up AP but everyone is entitled to their opinion and if you don't like it then either state your case or move on to another thread. Some of you complainers spend 24 hours on these threads and I guess it's fun for you to rock the boat every once in awhile. Go ahead experts, what ya got?

r00tabaga Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Because TBD is very lightly moderated. If everybody just spoke their mind and started new threads it would get very cluttered here. Duplicate threads, ludicrous ideas, etc etc. Again, read more than you post is a solid way too stay here. Starting new silly threads like this pushes the good ones down or to the next page.

r00tabaga Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Here's a fun fact: If tons of people are thinking this is silly, it probably wasn't a strong topic to begin with. I'm always looking for thought provoking stuff. Where's the strong BBMB contributors at? Nobody likes litter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
