LabattBlue Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 You really think the #2 spot was up for grabs after Williams was cut? Williams didn't even play the year before. Let's think....rookie who didn't play in 2015 or a vet who is coming back in his second year in the system? I'm guessing you think players can't move up in the depth chart after their first year....Gillisee was always a #2 back right? So in other words, don't keep the proven commodity. Instead, kick him to the curb, and hope that what is behind door #3(old let's make a deal reference) can fill the role. Sounds like a solid plan to me.

Zulu Cthulhu Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Easy to say a replacement backup RB can simply be drafted late, but that would require ignoring how good MG has been. Various advanced stat places rank MG up there as the most efficient RB in the league. Burkhead, another Pats target, is generally right behind him. DVOA and other advanced stats measuring efficiency can be skewed by sample size sure, but it is highly telling that the Pats roll out of another championship season targeting these 2 guys. MG may actually be worth the extra $$$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
without a drought Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 For those not quite panicking enough, lets not forget about JW's 4 game suspension to start the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrober38 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 It wasn't a very smart move not tendering him for 2nd round compensation. Gillislee is going to have a field day with the Pats next year filling Blounts power-back role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gillislee is going to have a field day with the Pats next year filling Blounts power-back role. If we gave him 2nd round compensation the cap hit was 3 million instead of 4... and there's no year 2.

Too funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloRebound Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 I think Whaley has to match because it's the Pats. Can we please take out Brady's knees this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM2009 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 omg they might even win the SB. Same team with or without him and we are worse without him because he provides excellent depth on a team with very little quality depth across the boards.

Bills of Boston Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 If the pats let a backup rb go for a pick in order not to pay the 2 years 6m they would be appluaded... its so insufferable I love TD Mike fwiw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Vader Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Thad Brown @thadbrown7 37m37 minutes agoMore Thad Brown Retweeted matthew You can find A GUY to be backup RB in lots of places. Likely an adequate one. But not likely as good as Gillislee. This! Match the offer. It won't break us. Aaron Horwitz @AaronTheH 59m59 minutes agoMore Replying to @JoeBuscaglia Gillislee led the league in YPC and a few other categories. He's likely better than a 5th rd pick. This too! At a minimum, Gillislee is worth a 4th round pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBuff423 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 (edited) I'm in the let him go and use that 5th round pick on a RB to obtain similar production with a better value for a longer contract duration....too many other issues to address than sign on for an overcompensated back-up RB...with Shady in town, that's what this truly becomes....just IMO of course.

Bills of Boston Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Of coure there isnt.. But you can talk about a backup RB in a vacuum to show frustrations with how things are reported by writers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsVet Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Joel Cory of CBS just said on the Murphy Show there is a real problem with the Bills here as this generally does not happen to other teams. They could of put 2nd round tender for about $1M more. Did Murph excoriate him on air as a result? This is a mistake by the FO. They should have put the 2nd round tender on him and we wouldn't have this issue. It would have been the cheaper option as well now. Whaley still "okay?"

bisonbrigade Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Bills are the worst team in the NFL. And it's not even close. I'm done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PIZ Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Who would you rather go against twice a year? Gillislee, Blount, or Peterson? I think Whaley had no intention of resigning him and wanted that 5th round pick. He knew no one would give us a 2nd round pick, do went with the 5th round tender. I expect a big back to be drafted, like Da'Onta Foreman or Conner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
