marauderswr80 Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Kevin Curtis Vs Mike Furrey, which of the 2 would make a nice combo with Lee Evans? I have to admit I dont know much about either guy. But if I had to pick Mike Furrey is the guy thats stands out to me. He had a nice year this year he was a major target in the Lions offense and he put up big #'s with Roy Williams on the other side of him. As for Curtis, If I can recall a little injury prone? Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozymandius Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 If we're going to pursue a FA receiving target, I'd like Daniel Graham above all others. If nothing else, takes away from the Patriots, and adds to us. He's a really good all-around player, though. Brady trusts him a heck of a lot more than Ben "Stone Hands" Watson.

BUFFALOTONE Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I lkie Furrey. He is a big target that goes across the middle, unlike PP who gets alligator arms . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richNjoisy Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Furrey would be way more expensive AND he has only truly put up one good year (2006). Curtis is younger and has been consistent for his 4 years (~ 40 rec/500 yards per season) - but is this good enough to replace price or reed? What about Drew bennett? he is 6' 5" (curtis and Furrey are 5 11 and 6 ' 0 respectively). Bennett has slowed in the past year but the QB changed twice which CAN impact a WR - (different QB's prefer different receivers sometimes). Bennett is a UFA and with the Titans still without a GM, resigning him could very well be delayed - giving the Bills a chance to slip in and get him at a cheaper price than we might otherwise have done. I love the idea of getting someone to whom JP can throw my favorite pass inside the 20 - the fade. Snap the ball and play catch with someone who can reach well above the defenders. Keyshawn Johnson used to kill us with this play when he played for the jets. my 2 cents.... -RnJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any thoughts? I have posted a couple of times that I was high on Curtis because of his speed. yeah he has only been a third slot guy but he plays behind Holt and Bruce. Last season (2005) when Bruce was injured, Curtis filled in very well. But after further consideration, I think I would prefer to have Drew Bennett over Curtis. Furrey had a tremendous year, but I would prefer to have seen him do what he did this year twice before I gambled a ton of FA money on him. I would hate to see the Bills signe a "Alvin Harper" type player and get stuck with nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvermike Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I think I'll need some convincing that Furrey was anything but a fluke last year. Remember Michael Clayton '04? Or, for that matter, Peerless Price '02? If he comes ridiculously cheap, well, that's another story. I'm guessing he'll be back in Detroit. Curtis would be a good player if we didn't already have Price and Parrish. He might be marginally better, but his strenghths are being a small, quicker guy, not really what we're missing. I'd say Bennett is the ideal choice, if he's not asking for too much money - he's an ideal possession/#2 type to complement the speedsters. I'd look at Bobby Engram and Patrick Crayton as well, neither of whom have size but have shown reliable hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinky finger Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Neither. I'd rather keep the guys we have. Also, Curtis is more of a slot guy--which we have an abundance of. I agree. We need a good, big redzone target and a 3rd down threat. A chain mover. A Keyshawn Johnson type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadBuffaloDisease Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I'd go with Furrey for a reasonable contract, say what Peerless and Reed got, hoping to catch lightning in a bottle. Anything much higher than that and no way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFanForever19 Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Neither, I don't see how either of them are much of an upgrade from the "Price/Reed/Davis: #3 WR's battling for a #2 position connection". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marauderswr80 Posted January 18, 2007 Author Share Posted January 18, 2007 I like most would love to see a big WR come to Buffalo, but my only concern is, is that a big WR is not what Fairchild needs to runs his down the field threat system. I mean ive been wrong before, I could be wrong again...... I agree with Furrey, is he the real deal or a fluke. That was a very good point. Drew Bennett is a nice option but I think Tennessee pays him to stay there. It is clear we need another WR that slightly better then what we have now......

Buftex Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I like Kevin Curtis quite a bit...I think he may be one of the very fastest players in the NFL, plus, he has good hands... That being said, I agree, what he has to offer is not necessarily what we need most. Roscoe Parrish has similar skills. But, for a team in need, Curtis is a very good, under-utilized player.

Dr. Trooth Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 You mean if Curtis/Furrey are my only choices? Let me see... Curtis, 40 receps. and 4 TDs this year. Furrey, 98 receps. and 6 TDs this year. Well, let me ask you this... assuming you like ice cream. Would you rather have one scoop, or two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lori Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Neither, I don't see how either of them are much of an upgrade from the "Price/Reed/Davis: #3 WR's battling for a #2 position connection". What he said. I also concur with the idea of going after a #1 TE ahead of a (potential) #2 WR; too bad the market is so thin after Graham...
