JM2009 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 As much as the sucks... it was the smart move. We add a 5th and can sign a free agent RB. Id definetly trade our backup RB for a 5th and another RB What FA RB will be as good as MG?

dubs Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 He was a big reason for the strong running game. Now we have McCoy and not much. MG was the third leading rusher on the team, THIRD! Let's not get carried away...here's the list of importance to Bills running game. 1) OLine 2) Shady 3) TT 4) MG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boatdrinks Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Reading some of the Pats' fans responses on social media, they don't seem that impressed with the signing and questioned the amount of money towards, even some are asking "who??". And why would they be? Their passing game has it in spades over that of the Bills and they win regardless of who plays RB. Yet some Bills fans fret over who the backup RB is. Most of whom likely knew next to nothing about Gillislee when the Bills signed him. They'll find another guy to fill in that spot at an appropriate salary level. And backup RB will have next to no impact on if the Bills earn a WC berth this season or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaCrispy Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 @chrisbrownbills Just an interesting note. #Bills get pick No. 163 overall from Pats for Gillislee. Gillislee pick No. 164 by Miami in 2013 draft. gotta love the effort to try and make fans feel better...either way i still think we came away on the low end of the deal...but what do i know? I mean Bills spend money like drunkin sailors and then can't seem to scrounge up $900,000 for a 2nd round protection for a guy who averaged 3 points a game for us last year? Even if we still lost him i wouldn't have cared because of the 2nd rounder, but a bottom 5th from the Pats makes it feel like they took a dump on our faces.

I find it comical that some of the fans here are getting all upset and saying it is a bad move. Yet, the Pat fans aren't praising the move like they did for the second coming I mean Chris Hogan. This is the type of move the Pats receive praise and kudos for, yet, we don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFan17 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Lol, I absolutely love that the back up is the best player in the room always. We had Karlos before we had to pick MG up off the street. Not to say MG isn't a heck of a talent, he is... but I just can't help but see so many people freaking out over this. As if the off season is done. The draft has come and went, cuts before the season have come and went. There is just absolutely no way to replace a back up RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam727 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 To anyone saying a 5th round pick is adequate compensation for a RB that led the NFL in yards per carry last year for a team that is trying to build a run-first offense, I'd just like to point out this team just gave up getting a 3rd & 4th next year for Ducasse and Davis. (who combined will now be making approximately what we would have had to pay to match Gillislee's offer, so not even a salary cap benefit) I'd prefer Gillislee + 3rd round pick + 4th round pick over Ducasse/Davis. I'm not convinced anyone currently at OBD knows how to build/maintain an NFL roster.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riverboat Richie Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Maybe the coaches watched the films and seen the holes these guys had to run through. If other teams review the Bills they would look to prevent that from happening to them when they play the Bills. It's unlikely that either one would get the number of long runs as last year. My feeling is Mike would have turned back into a pumpkin next season. Coaching staff might have felt they could get the same production for less money next year. He had the perfect storm last year. I doubt teams will let them get away with those runs next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LABILLBACKER Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Hopefully jwill isnt suspended for his dui, mccoy doesnt get injured, and we draft a late round rb thats capable of getting 8 tds on 101 touches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
