Phlegm Alley Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Cushing did have a monster year and had Byrd started from the get-go, I think the results may have been different. Congrats to Cushing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

extrahammer Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 someone had to fill the water bottles. Ha! There was no water, there wasn't even Gatorade. There was Kool-Aid and I think there was also nap time in some games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler#81 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 No surprize. Cushing made quite a splash this season, plus he played in and -I believe- started every game. As for picking him, 'woulda, coulda, shoulda' is the story of our franchise. I'm glad we selected Byrd and he should bring us years of great, pro-bowl level play.

earthtobrint Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Cushing did have a monster year and had Byrd started from the get-go, I think the results may have been different. Congrats to Cushing. Byrd has ball hawking skills but is poor against the run. I have no doubt he can become great, but as of now he is not yet a complete player. Cushing was NFL starter ready the minute he was drafted and is an instant star in this league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Bills Fan Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I'm just happy that there was a Bills player who was a contender for a player of the year honors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boatdrinks Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Okay, lets get it out of the way early. "We could have had Cushing if we didn't choose that bum Maybin" OK, let me ad the obligatory " Cushing would not have been a good player if the Bills had chosen him. We would have ruined him".

bills_fan Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 imagine that draft It makes me want to cry. As does imagining Michael Oher at LT for the next decade. Both Cushing and Oher...passed up in favor of Aaron "I shoulda stayed 2 more years" Maybin. Simply dreadful. Hopefully Nix doesn't whiff on 1st rounders (because we have been decent, I think, in rounds 2-7). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerball Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Did Aaron finish in the top 10? I do so hope so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Day 10 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I did not want Cushing at the time. I did want them to make a choice from one of Oher or Orakpo though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
....lybob Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I did not want Cushing at the time. I did want them to make a choice from one of Oher or Orakpo though. That's how I felt too, I though Cushing was injury prone and perhaps chemically enhanced - wanted Raja to drop but when Green Bay picked him wanted Oher or Orakpo - if a LB I liked Matthews much more than Cushings- I also said WTF on the Bryd selection oh well it's not going to stop me from second guessing.
