notwoz Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 guess Ill give myself a pat on the back for this one amazed reading through this how many people actually thought it was a good pick one year wonders rarely work out in the NFL At the risk of elevating Bill Parcells to the Mt. Olympus of the NFL, wasn't he one of those guys who wanted his draft picks to have a 3-year college record at the minimum. That seems to make a whole lot of sense to me.

I know he at least thought that way about QBs but makes sense he would think that about all players Instead of Whitner, McCargo and Maybin the Bills could have had Ngata, Mangold and Oher....WTF I just depressed myself Id like to see a thread from when Jauron was hired and see how many people liked that....worst head coach since Rich Kotite, just awful Edited August 16, 2011 by Max997 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mannc Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 The great thing about the 2009 posts is they show that the majority of the posters on a Bills fan board knew better than the "professionals" at OBD. And it was not the first time, by a long shot. This is not rocket science. It takes a special strain of incompetence to accomplish what's been done OBD in the past decade.

BuffOrange Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 (edited) Funny to see who has always been a homer and who could call a spade a spade. Very insightful on some current posters... Yah, big shock that the Big Cat approved of the pick... The great thing about the 2009 posts is they show that the majority of the posters on a Bills fan board knew better than the "professionals" at OBD. And it was not the first time, by a long shot. This is not rocket science. It takes a special strain of incompetence to accomplish what's been done OBD in the past decade. Indeed. And this is a point Mike Schope - everyone's favorite whipping boy has pointed out. For as much as fans are prone to hyperbole, it is totally 100% accurate that the franchise would be better off today had the average know-nothing armchair fan been functioning as GM for the last ten years. Ralph is so concerned about $, yet think about how much he's wasted on his front office (salary, flights, paid hotels/meals/expenses) when Joe in South Buffalo could've just used Kiper's board and made better picks. Maybe he wouldn't have drafted Kyle Williams and maybe he still would've drafted Mike Williams, but this is one among many many awful moves that would not have happened. It's a joke.

SDS Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Yes I recall the stink you made about that pick. Some of the funniest draft meltdownery in TBD history That really isn't applicable. We could have drafted Daryl Green with that pick and he still would have made a stink about it. The quality of the player is irrelevant to Bill.

The quality of the player is irrelevant to Bill. To be fair this is the moment when he was drafted and the collective response of the board: http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/45867-official-nfl-draft-day-2006-thread/page__view__findpost__p__674457 It wasn't just Bill.

DC Tom Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 I think the most shocking thing about this thread is that Leonidas was, for once, right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max997 Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 I would like to see the thread after Whitner was drafted. I hated the Whitner pick as well. You dont reach for an undersized safety when you cant stop the run and a stud DT is sitting there Ngata was as obvious a pick as Marcel was this year then the trade up for McCargo, even worse seriously, most of the posters on this board would have done better then the Bills front office, thats sad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 I think the most shocking thing about this thread is that Leonidas was, for once, right. haha; I thought the same thing. I also liked how everyone questioned Maybin's weight from day 1. Two years later, the FO finally realized he's too skinny?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
