QB Bills

What a dumb move by the Titans. No RB is worth anywhere close to that much. Should have let him sit.

The only thing he's missing is breakaway speed. He does everything else exceptionally well.

I like this Elzy fellow too. He reminds me of Lynch.

Bittersweet. He was my favourite Bill so it's good to see him doing well so far.

The short answer? It's because he's not as smart as you think he is. Lee is good at catching any kind of pass. Just because it's been said on this board over and over again that he's afraid to go over the middle doesn't make it true. Just off the top of my head I remember him catching one against the Jets and splitting the safeties to go in for the score. (Please save the "oh, one time" responses). This rationale you (and others who use that argument) use pretty much says that Lee could put up 1500 yards and 20 tds this year with the Ravens and it would still have been a good move to get rid of him because we can't take advantage of his skills in this offense. Well congrats because that mentality is shared by the front office at OBD and is the reason why we haven't seen a playoff game in over a decade. Basically what you're saying is no matter how talented the player is, his production will be capped because the rest of the offense isn't good enough to complement him. And that makes Gailey a good coach? If you ask me, that's actually a great argument against Gailey's coaching prowess. Who needs an all-pro talent when you have Felton Huggins? See that TD Saturday?

I really don't think trading Lee was a cost-cutting move. According to reports, they had already paid him a million bucks when camp started and his salary the next two years was around 6 million combined..hardly enough to break the bank. Something else must have happened behind the scenes after camp started. Whether Gailey the offensive guru wanted to showcase him even less than last year or whatever. Or its more along the lines of Nix wanting to build a team consisting of players he brought in on his own, even if it's to the detriment of the team. Being a Leafs fan, I see the same crap being pulled by Brian Burke the last couple of years with the Leafs so I can smell the BS. In any case, this is just another small example of why it's pretty much impossible to think that the Bills can ever compete for a Super Bowl again. We laugh and joke about it here but it's really quite sad that a lot of the posters on this board could do a better job at player personnel than the buffoons running the show for the last few years. Anyone with even a minute amount of football knowledge can see how talented Lee is but also how badly underused he was here. I wish him nothing but the best. Class act and he deserves all the accolades that are going to come his way in the near future.

Kicked in the calf...I was close! Geez, Kelsay will do anything to stay in the starting lineup. Yes, I just replied to my own post.

I'm guessing Kelsay tripped over his own shoelace and landed on Dareus' ankle.

hahaha that is signature-worthy

That fumble, along with Stevie's drop, helped us land Dareus! Hand him and Spiller starting jobs this year and welcome Andrew Luck to the fold next April.

I refuse to believe that Gailey can be this stupid. Like it was stated above, Freddie's not only the best back on this team by a country mile, but the best in the division. I'd be willing to bet that Spiller will never be as good as Jackson is right now. As Bill from NYC opined in another thread, this could very well be a decision from higher up in the organization, which is quite sad and probably worse than just simply a coaching blunder. Again, this is just a theory with no factual evidence but I feel that 'football politics' is what's really going on here. The Buffalo Bills are a sick organization. And I mean sick in the traditional sense, not the way the kids use the word nowadays. First the ridiculous Evans move and now this. It really makes it hard to root for them and I can't say I've ever been more disheartened with this team than I am right now.

what's wrong with saying busted? when you get busted for lying to your spouse, or eating the last cookie in the cookie jar, are you also getting arrested? he simply means busted = got caught let it go, folks

Like many others have stated, the issue is not whether you wanted him on your team or not. It's whether your team should have an equal shot as anyone else to land him (or any other player). The outrage isn't because he had a great year last year. Honestly, every football fan, not just Bills or Bengals, should be upset about this if it's true. It doesn't have to be Michael Vick. It could have been Aaron Maybin. Same deal.

Damn, just thinking of having Vick throwing to Evans the last couple of years makes me want to kick Goodell in the balls.

haha..that was a good one but still..ouch

To be fair, I believe he was just using an exaggerated example to disagree with your comment saying that not everyone should be tradeable. Nobody in their right mind would give up 5 firsts for anyone on the Bills, but the point I believe was that if you get a trade offer for any roster player that you think makes your team better in the short and long term, you do it. Can't say I disagree with that.

Great job KFBD. I think the best method to determine who the #1 receiver on a given team is to look at which CB is covering said receiver. You will see, more often than not, that the top CB is covering Lee..along with some safety help. I like Stevie, but he's not even close to Lee when it comes to natural ability. edit: geez, I never thought I'd become one of those fans that call players by their first names..

Doing this will probably get them Andrew Luck so there is that. Lee's still the best player on this offense regardless of what his stats showed last year. He can't throw to himself. I almost wish he gets traded just so we can see how good he can be on a functional team.

A certain rolling ball of butcher knives would disagree...as would his fans.

lol..this guy's one of the best posters on this board...i wonder who's alter ego this is? 'trader'...haha

letting greer go and resigning mcgee for more money was a stupid move at the time that a few of us on the board just shook our heads at and it looks even more stupid now

Each one of your subsequent posts in this thread is getting increasingly stupid. I'm actually looking forward to what you have to say next. Play on playboy...

hahahaha nicely played, sir

I'm upset because the team I root for sucks, has sucked for a long time and is not showing signs that they will stop sucking any time soon. The excuses that the rose-coloured glasses-wearing lot provide here day in and day out are the same that have been said about previous regimes. The bottom line is results and at last check, the results are crap. Yes there are some positives but any team in the league can say that.
