Boatdrinks Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 One of the dumbest moves the franchise has made during the drought. Troup never played more than a couple games for the Bills. Just terrible drafting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 I can guarantee his career wouldn't be anything like his career is with Tom Brady throwing to him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuklz2594 Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 i believe we passed on him due to back surgery and back issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaccof Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 I would think he'd be thrilled that his home team passed on him. To PTR's point, doubt he'd be the player he is today if he came to Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't need to be very accurate with Gronkowski. Just put it in the area code. Probably not the same team success but the same player for sure.

It was obviously worth a little risk for RG. Once again a lack of foresight by the FO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's putting passes where only Gronk can catch them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the orign story of "El Troupacabra". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starrymessenger Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Wow. Imagine Gronk paired with KB. And if we had only sat tight, saved a first rounder and drafted OBJ. You prolly wouldn't even need a QB. Gronk's a great player. Wish he had been a Bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDingus Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 (edited) One of the comments on the article: "Buffalo is a funny place to watch football. It's almost like the city shuns successful people. Every week after a loss the Buffalo News talks about all the "coaching mistakes." Yet outside Buffalo the general consensus is McDermott is a great coach. The Bills have neither a QB, a backup running back or a defensive line,, yet they're 8-7. Two years ago they went 9-7 with 11 pro bowl caliber players. Gronk is hated because he WANTED TO PLAY HERE. Earth to fans. NOBODY wants to play here and up till McDermott, nobody wanted to coach here. When Pegula was interviewing, he got a long list of don't call me emails. The Sabres suck for the same reason. Where has hating Brady gotten us? Where is hating Gronk going to get us. Love they naighbor and when he's won 5 superbowls, emulate him." Kind of agree with him here.
