He certainly was a whiff but he was a low round 1st rounder. There have been much worse examples Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My choices are only from 2000 since I do think it makes things more relevant. I think Jeremy’s defense of Williams was that he was the top LT coming out of college. Most teams would have taken him high and he was considered as “solid” of a draft choice as any that year. To argue Jeremy, Williams never played LT in college, he was a RT. And McKinnie was the top LT coming out but teams were worried about his attitude. Which was a valid concern, but McKinnie had a much better career and should have been the pick at #4 overall if Donahoe wasnt such a wuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea BeastMode was a knucklehead... but what great NFL player doesn't have problems in their personal life? Ray Lewis, TO, Chad Johnson, Dez, Brady, Farve, Big Ben, Antonio Brown, KeyShawn Johnson, Randy Moss... i can go on & on...the bad boys are what make the league great & entertaining. Can't when chips with goodie good guy's. You have to have some kind of controversy. Yea sometimes you'll get a Robert Woods & a Fred Jackson, Chris Carter... but you have to surround them with Superstars like Randy Moss to go another level... & they come with huge egos... My point is... you need a guy that demand the ball, race a car... cheat the rules, goes to court... the biggest fail the Bills have made is not "wanting" those type of players or even committing to them. I knew they wouldn't want Rosen....he scares them. & it's a shame. Cause everything points to him possibly being really good...you can't say the same for Allen Edited May 18, 2018 by Scorp83 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cage Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 (edited) -- Rex Ryan hire messing up a very good defense -- Drafting Maybin was questionable right out of the chute -- Hiring Marv as GM with the sub-bullet of the "cash-to-the-cap" policy basically communicating that we weren't going do what it takes to win -- To be determine yet... passing on both Mahomes and Watson last year, while trading up for Allen this year... we'll have to evaluate in a few years whether that progression was a monumental whiff or not?!?

Don't we find that teams that go far in playoffs often have just serviceable LT players ? Joe Thomas certainly didnt do anything for poor Cleveland. Philly didn't accomplish much those years when Peters was starting all the games. and ended up winning the Superbowl with him out of the lineup since October 2017.

BillsfaninChicago Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 When you think about what we gave up and what we could have had in Rodgers if we had just waited a year. The biggest whiff to me was Losman. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

row_33 Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 (edited) bringing Marv back wasn't less than 3 trillion % of the worst cynical garbage thought possible. 25 minutes ago, JAMIEBUF12 said: AARON MAYBIN still too soon 2 hours ago, Dave in Bluffton said: I'll add a few more: Picking Rob Johnson over Flutie. As much as you hate Flutie, he found ways to win games that were beyond Buffalo's offense without him. Letting Pat Williams go in free agency. Defense went downhill after that move. Choosing JP Losman in draft instead of moving up a couple spots to get Roethlisburger. Drafting EJ. I'll stop there as the list goes on and on. let Flutie's clown show era die already? this was total trash compared to Jim Kelly's best year, worse than total trash The best part was for the 2000 season they treated the Doug/Rob thing as a do-over and expected them to sit for 3 hours and outline their plans for going forward, as if the coaching staff had never met them before. Of course Flutie refused to go through with this and made a fun media fuss over the disrespect. Edited May 18, 2018 by row_33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
