Dwight Drane Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 On the plus side, you haven't heard about him failing to execute a left hand turn down by the Harbor and hitting a pedestrian at 3 AM. He's got some skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Jack Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Did you see this link on the left side of the page? Vote For Art I like how they make it sound like he was the one to give Cleveland the Browns name, etc instead of using it in Baltimore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silvermike Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 So, how'd it work? McGahee for Stroud and Edwards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biglukes Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Addition by subtraction. Just the fact that McStupid is off the roster is more than enough for me. BTW, what ever happened to that 49er fan who was around here last year trying to claim what a god McGahee is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steely Dan Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Million dollar athlete, nickle's worth of gray matter. A nickel would be way over paying. On the plus side, you haven't heard about him failing to execute a left hand turn down by the Harbor and hitting a pedestrian at 3 AM. He's got some skill. So, how'd it work? McGahee for Stroud and Edwards? Addition by subtraction. Just the fact that McStupid is off the roster is more than enough for me. BTW, what ever happened to that 49er fan who was around here last year trying to claim what a god McGahee is? Willis hasn't been able to deliver a good stiff-arm since his 2nd season. With the number of kids he has he's obviously been able to deliver a good stiffy. My favorite parts of the article: A Pro Bowl alternate for the AFC squad last season, he also appeared to be confused about the playbook and frequently consulted teammates for advice. _________________________________________ McGahee acknowledged that he needs to get in better shape and shed some rust. "It could get better," said McGahee, who fumbled just four times last year. "That's what training camp is for. Anybody can run around out there without pads on, but when you put those pads on, it's a totally different story. "I had a fumbled exchange with the quarterback, and I had a fumble. I know I'm rusty. I know I'm not going to come to training camp and be on point. That's hard, and I've got to work to that level." Note to sWillis. That's what training camp used to be about. Now players are expected to keep themselves in shape all offseason. It's not like they can't afford to do so. Also if you want to win then you need to be there in the offseason learning the playbook!! You didn't know last years playbook and this is a new playbook Get an effing clue. _____________________________________ The issue of whether McGahee is totally committed to being in outstanding shape has been raised a few times since he signed a $40 million contract with Baltimore after being acquired last year from the Buffalo Bills. Although McGahee finished fourth in the AFC in rushing last season with 1,207 yards and seven touchdowns during his first season in Baltimore, he occasionally asked out of games whenever he got tired. Following a 46-yard touchdown run against the Bills, McGahee required intravenous fluids to boost his energy. "The goal for me is to stay on the field, I didn't stay on the field as much last year," McGahee said. "I was coming out on third downs, but that's last year. This is a whole new year, and my goal is to finish the long runs and get touchdowns." During a May minicamp, Harbaugh noted that McGahee needed to get into "football shape." Finish the long runs!!!!! God I'm glad he's long gone. Is there anybody out there who still thinks this was a stupid trade? ______________________________ "I get a new playbook every year, so it's something I'm used to," McGahee said. "This is the first offensive coordinator I've had that uses the tailback this much." Following a controversial stint in Buffalo, McGahee is aware that he is often viewed as a polarizing figure. "That's life," he said. "If I'm not out on the field tomorrow, then something's wrong with me: 'McGahee is out of shape.' Everybody has their own opinion." :lol: _________________________________________ When asked if McGahee understands what the coaches are demanding of him, Montgomery replied: "Not yet, not yet. He's a veteran guy, so the idea is you have to keep telling it to him and hoping he will buy into it. Once he buys into and he sees before training camp ends, hopefully, he'll be where we want him to be." _________________________________________ While McGahee has the skills, it remains a question mark whether he has the requisite stamina. "Willis is a good fit, and he's got to realize that in this scheme that running backs are like thoroughbreds, they're like horses," Montgomery said. "They've got to be on the field all the time. You have to be in great shape in this offense. _____________________________________ Willis or Marshawn? Tough one......... NOT!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UConn James Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 So, how'd it work? McGahee for Stroud and Edwards? Close enough. Wikipedia 2008 Draft entry: The Baltimore Ravens traded their third-round selection in 2008 to the Buffalo Bills, as well as the 92nd and 239th overall selections in 2007 (used to select Trent Edwards and C. J. Ah You, respectively) in exchange for Willis McGahee. We traded the Ravens' 3rd this year, along with a spare 5th previously acquired from Chicago, to Jax for Stroud. Not a bad deal based on things so far, I'd say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 The trouble with the Bills front ofice is they can't keep their superstar talent like Willis McGahee. Liek Krazykat says, a lack of continuity. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he ruined his knee in college he worked really hard to come back because there was a lot of money on the line. Then he thinks he deserves an outrageous contract after doing little to justify it and after he gets the contract he goldbricks and you're right he probably would tell you he's the best back in the league.

sven233 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? 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. I still say he could be a great back if he actually cared. But, I don't think he ever will. I'd take Lynch every day of the week and wouldn't have to think about it........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
