BobDVA Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Very interesting statistic, 28% of the players drafted by the Bills since 2003 are starters. Tied for best in the League with Arizona. http://www.nationalpost.com/story.html?id=1532474 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayFinkle Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Interesting stat. Very misleading though. The Bills talent level is not close to being good enough, it hasn't been for a decade. Just because a guy is a starter, it doesn't mean he is any good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zazie Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 The single best rookie we have had since then, is the one we did not draft, then let go in his prime, Jason Peters. Nice work, Mr. Guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On top of that a good case can be made that the coaching over this period of time does not develop players well or preach a winning brand of football.

That's debatable. Evans is close. Just because he hasn't made any Pro Bowls doesn't mean he hasn't been a better player than Peters. If Lynch can stay out of trouble he'll be be better also.

mannc Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 The single best rookie we have had since then, is the one we did not draft, then let go in his prime, Jason Peters. Nice work, Mr. Guy. Please get this through your head: Jason Peters was worth a late first round pick, with a fourth thrown in. No more, no less. The Bills did not "let him go". They let Nate Clements and Antoine Winfield go. It's just as likely as not that Peters will turn out to be another Peerless Price, another guy looking for a huge paycheck for whom the Bills extracted a first round pick and who turned out to be a big disappointment with his new team.

Yes that Peerless did not pan out was actually a shocker for me, I thought he was sure-fire especially with Vick. Go figure. Hope you are right and JP will be spending his 25mill guaranteed on fried food and cold ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynch is a thug. he is not even the best RB on the team He may run hard, but he is slow & dumb & runs to the wrong hole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albany,n.y. Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 How many of them are still with the Bills? The ones that are still in Buffalo: Are they starters because we have no one better, or would they start elsewhere? Nine years of no playoffs means someone, or the entire inner circle, isn't doing a very good job of talent evaluation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
