stang21 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 The time has come to get T.O. to the Bills. He has a chip on his shoulder and wants to prove that he is still an elite receiver and can get a team to the superbowl. This is just what we need. We need to have two great receivers, and Evans and T.O. would fit the bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't get in trouble with the law, is in great shape, and would make an immediate impact. Was there some free agent signing this past week that makes you think we are now playoff bound?

Contract could be worked so that if he makes too much trouble he is out. The "he is a disruption" issue is too large to be dismissed. He is arguably the worst locker room guy of his generation, especially out of all the good players. There is no doubt the guy is a fine receiver; although, he has lost a step. But he tears teams apart from the inside -- he has been on three teams and did it to all three of them. Add all the caveats you want to a contract -- he doesn't care. He does what he wants even when it means dire consequences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All that did was get the team riled up to make the playoffs and if it wasn't for the Music City Miracle, we would have at least gone to the AFC championship game. I think the team would be just fine, and have a way better shot to at least make the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HotPocket Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Never in a million years do I want TO. He will not work out with Edwards one bit as he his roasted every QB he has ever had throwing to him, and that's just what we can't have for Edwards' confidence. Secondly, he's such a character issue he just melts the team down around him, sure we might get one good year out of him, but that's it. TO could swear on his mothers' life that he would be a model citizen and I wouldn't trust him, after all, he'd probably knock over his own mother just to get one more interview on ESPN. Stay Away.

pBills Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Personally, I could care less if he is "trouble" or not. The catches the ball. Over 1,000 yards receiving last year and 10 TDs. Having both Evans and Owens would be a huge threat to any defense and bring the Bills to the top of the AFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By that I mean everything is way too comfortable on this Bills team. Nonne stands out and calls people out when needed. I don't see the burning desire to win from anyone on the Bills. Our championship teams had guys like Reed, Thurman and Talley who were not exactly team guys. They were very cranky at times and did not look to be buds with their teammates. They made things "uncomfortable" which did not lead to complacency. TO is a winner. He always wants to win. Have any of you seen him on the sidelines when the team is playing lousy? He gets pissed!!

Neither of the QBs you mentioned called coaches or team leaders out, by name in front of national TV cameras in their front yards. Yeah, that is a bit specifci, but I trust you get my point. TO doesn't care about the ramification of his actions and words. He does whatever pleases him while totally disregarding what is best for the TEAM. I am convinced TO has mental issues that preclude him from being a good team player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrags Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Yeah, because the last three rebuilding processes have gone so very well for us. If you really think that this team is going anywhere under this coaching staff you must be more crazy than TO and Ocho Cinco put together. This team will not win under DJ. Do we have to go back to the end of last season when Ralph insisted that this team has more/better playmakers? And what have they done so far? signed a back-up QB that will make Trance Checkwards nice and comfortable, and a Center that would be at best a 2nd string Center on a playoff team. Its the same scenario with so many positions on this team. Schobel is at best a teams 2nd starter, Kelsey is at best a back-up, and Denney would be a 3rd stringer, or special teams guy on any playoff team. So yeah. This team needs to rebuild. It cant get any worse really. I mean lets be realistic. We just lost a FA because he would rather play for the Bengals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, just because we haven't made the playoffs since 1999 doens't mean we should try something drastic, right? If we can just manage to do the same things for the next year or two, then we will be in GREAT SHAPE to be sold nice and cheap to Toronto, then we won't ever have to worry if our team has any distractions, because WE WON'T HAVE A TEAM!!!!

Drew Bledsoe was a bust, no playoffs in forever, and a team that may end up in Toronto. We need something to jolt us, and T.O. signing would be just that. I don't think he has lost a step, he is in great shape, and with him and Evans split outside, we would have an excellent receiving duo. I would take the chance on him.

I am fine with that. This is heading in a different direction than the rest of this thread, so I will make this to the point. Ralph Wilson, the man who actually makes the big calls for the Bills, has decided to give the current regime the 2009 season to prove itself. What you are supporting in your previous post is signing someone with the hopes that players tears the team up from the inside and guarantees the current regime fails its last chance quickly. That does not sound like a fan. If the current front office and coaching staff is so terrible, then they will fail on their own and won't need to bring TO to further embarrass our team on the national level.
