buffalo1983 Posted December 31, 2009 Author Share Posted December 31, 2009 Russ was the one to make this move. Thomas kind of hinted toward this for a while now. No surprised. Its not like he will be the main guy but just added as another guy. Nothing wrong with having someone that knows the game in there and that actually cares a lot about the team.

DanInUticaTampa Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 I wouldn't mind it as an added extra. But having him as part of the core would be a little disturbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsGuyInMalta Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 I wouldn't mind it as an added extra. But having him as part of the core would be a little disturbing. Agreed. If he comes in as an assistant or, at best, a regional scout I'll be okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magox Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 I think it's pretty obvious that Thomas wants to get involved in footbal in a meaningful way again and that he is working up the ranks to do it. He's probably been lobbying for this or something along these lines for a while now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nodnarb Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 I've often feared that "glory days" players would be pulled in for such roles, as if they had any real ability beyond appeasing a few fans who want to live in that past. If Thurman is made a scout, Nix's credibility will suffer. He should be stocking us with proven talent, not feel good picks as some homage to the past.

evilcape Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 whatever man. thurman loves this team, and an extra pair of eyes won't hurt. i don't want him to be THE GUY, but a guy scouting game film and making suggestions of who may be good players. Remember this HOF'er played against tons of good players, so i bet he has a pretty decent eye as to who may be good talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 On NFL.COM Bills hall of famers Jim Kelly and Thurman Thomas attended the news conference. Both are familiar with Nix, whose stint in Buffalo overlapped their careers. And both said they are willing to assist Nix in whatever capacity, with Thomas saying he has been asked to serve in some type of scouting role.
