damaynman150 Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 if we obviously traded for turner, he would be part of the two-back system. I believe that it would work similar to Deuce McAllister and Reggie Bush (although a less-talented combo for the bills...) Thats why i dont get people being too concerned about Turner's lack of experience or questions about whether he can "shoulder the load." remember, Bush was like that too coming out of USC... Turner is a fantastic scat back with potential to be a real gamebreaker. The trade Im thinkin would be worth it is either: -Swapping 1st rounders and picking up SD's late rounder too OR -Turner straight up for a 2nd no one knows how a rookie RB would fare but at least we know a little bit about Turner... and again, he wouldnt have to quote-unquote carry the load for our team game in and game out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sisyphean Bills Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 All the reports say that the Chargers want a 1st and a 3rd outright for Turner. I agree it would be nice of them to give him to the Bills. Maybe Marv can work up some sympathy or altruism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsVet Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Michael Turner has to be the biggest scat back in the history of the NFL-all 237 pounds of him. He's a bruiser with speed, not a third down type. I think Turner will be too expensive for Buffalo's rebuilding cash to the cap philosophy.

He's a bruiser with speed, not a third down type. There's that too. Turner is a bowling ball shaped back and not a RB/WR hybrid like Reggie Bush. I can sort of see the comparison if Tuner is being confused with Tomlinson, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it a back that is constantly dropping Cosby's all over the field during the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dean Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 wow. classy. cosby's huh? thats a pretty !@#$in horrible thing to write. congratulations, i hope you giggled while typing. I would have thought, perhaps, "Torme's" would have been the reference here. But, that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Marv can work up some sympathy or altruism. If the Bills signed him as a restricted free agent, and the Chargers didn't match it, the Bills would owe them a 1st and 3rd. They are never going to get a 1st and 3rd in a trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombstone56 Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 gr 55 is reporting the bills are the lone team negotiating with turners agent on long term contract ..speculation is the bills giving chargers this years 3rd and next years 1st,, i think its likely a different set of picks though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
