Andrew in CA Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Which we got for Darwin Walker, who we traded Holcomb and Takeo for. So really, we got rid out Holcomb, Takeo, and McBadknee for Stroud and Edwards. Since Holcomb and McBadknee weren't welcome presences here. the trade really goes Takeo for Stroud and Edwards Huh, I've never seen the big picture spelled out like that. Pretty sweet. Still wishin the best for Takeo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDBillzFan Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I am by no means a fan of McGahee's but its the first weekend of camp which means absolutely nothing didnt he fumble on the first carry of camp last year too? Yes, he did. Once is an accident. Twice is coincidence. And I don't believe in coincidence. I was going to bring up the same point.....he fumbled on the first carry last year as well. Kinda strange, but then again....so is Willis. You know what's really odd? You remember that. Max remembers it. I remember. I'm sure a bunch of other Bills fans remember it. Probably a crapload of Ravens fans remember it. You figure Willis would come in this year and say to himself "Hey, I fumbled on the first snap of camp last year. I should make sure I don't do that again this year." So what does he do? Fumble the first one, and another after that because...get this...he mishandled the handoff from the QB. !@#$ing egomaniacal idiot. Darin had him pegged at the first, and he's been right ever since. (But I think we all know, Losman was the reason for all those fumbles. The QB is completely responsible for all wins and losses. McGahee was simply misunderstood.)

keepthefaith Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Doesn't it feel like McGahee has been gone for 10 years already, I almost forgot about him. Yes and it feels good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCinBuffalo Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Huh, I've never seen the big picture spelled out like that. Pretty sweet. Still wishin the best for Takeo. Perhaps I should add it to my sig. I have been using it to bash on McGahee, any Philly fan I talk to, any Ravens fan I talk to, anybody who was bashing our FO for doing the Spikes and/or Mcbaby deals, ESPN, especially Chris Mortensen, and pretty much everybody else who was being a jerk about what Marv did/set up while he was here, ever since the Stroud trade. I would have taken Poz for McGahee, but we got so much more. It's simple really: McGahee(lazy, out of shape, doesn't know the playbook), Spikes(cut), Holcomb(retired) for(in order) POZ(pro-bowler soon), Stroud(there's hardly any injury doubt left) and getting to draft Edwards in our original draft spot in the third last year, and getting to draft Ellis in our spot this year. Oh yeah, and we got rid of Holcomb for Ah You=so what. Both sucked. Essentially we robbed the Ravens, Eagles and Bears blind, dumped our crap and got pro-bowl talent in return, and Marv and the rest of the FO set the whole thing up. Last week I got to thank my Raven's fan cousin for taking McGahee off our hands. He didn't want him to begin with. The fun today was I got to thank another cousin's husband (eagles fan)for the 5th round pick that sealed Stroud, and got to ask him how Spikes was doing. His only comeback is Briere...which of course still sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whites Bay Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Whatever happened to C.J. Ah You? I forgot all about him. He was cut somewhere near the end of training camp last year. Possibly the last cut. Nothing over which to raise eyebrows except for one small facet of the story. I think - THINK - that he represented the first time in 2 (?) or 3 (?) years in which the Bills actually had the luxury of cutting a draft pick. I don't have the patience to dig this up, so take it with a grain of salt (the size of your head). But I remember thinking it at the time. In other words....the Front Office had finally rebuilt things to the point where we didn't need every breathing body from our draft. (In retrospect, however, the Bills could possibly have used Ah You with all the injuries experienced last year, but 2007 was an exceptionally bad year in that regard). I suppose a TRUE measure of the F.O.s ability to clean up the personnel mess would be if they had the luxury of cutting a 4th or 5th round draft pick. Who was that kid out of OSU...the running back that signed with the Broncos a couple of years ago, showed up fat and stupid, and then ended up busted on a gun charge at a night club?

Lori Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 wtf.. does no one else feel deja vu???? Yes, but since last year's McGahee-stinks posts were lost in the crash, we probably have room for a new set. Last week I got to thank my Raven's fan cousin for taking McGahee off our hands. He didn't want him to begin with. The fun today was I got to thank another cousin's husband (eagles fan)for the 5th round pick that sealed Stroud, and got to ask him how Spikes was doing. His only comeback is Briere...which of course still sucks. Briere play football now? No? Then feel free to tell the Iggles fan that nobody gives a .

UConn James Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Is Darwin Walker still on the Bears? You know his name. Even a friggin' Wiki search will tell you. It takes all of two seconds to highlight the name, right-click and scroll down to "Search Google for 'Darwin Walker'" and open the first link. I'm not going to tell you if he's still with the Bears.

UConn James Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 no need to get that bent out of shape... Walker plays for the panthers now This is carry-over from the PPP board. Three pages of him asking Darin to provide him with the links to Darin's previous posts re: global warming, and that if he didn't, it meant that he lost the argument. I wish I could get other people to fall all over themselves to do my work for me as well as elegant elliot, but unfortunately, I don't live in a dream world. And, now that I see what vile concoction you've brewed in that link, I'll add a hearty Thank You. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, those guys did have a mess to clean up. MaGahee never should have been on this team to begin with. Henry has to be replaced no doubt; he was a ticking time bomb of substance abuse, criminal behavior and flat out stupidity. Still, TD skipped right past Steinbach to draft Willis, and had to wait well over a full season fro him to ever take the field. I would take either Trent or Stroud for Willis, let alone both.

I am still amazed how much praise Donahoe received for drafting McGahee. It is so important now that your No.1 contribute something right away. We had so many other needs and he just ignored him. One of the many reasons TD was not re-signed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
