MyHorseAteTheKid Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 This is one reason why I have hope that Gailey and Nix might just get this thing turned around. Nobody is untouchable and nobody will remain on the roster if they do not step it up. Sad to sayu but Maybin has all of the markings of a bust. If he can't get on the field with this defense in its sorry state what where would he be with real talent? Makes me wonder why they released Ellis and not Maybin?
Heels20X6 Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 You should read the chat from the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle guys, they say beyond Maybin sucking, he also has no football instincts. Those guys would cut him. Maybin better take this criticism to heart, get stronger in the office season and come in with Cameron Wake intensity or this guy will be pumping gas next fall. Aaron you wont get invited to all the good parties when your playing for Winnipeg. As someone who just came back from a weekend in Winnipeg, I can tell you that the parties are awesome (what else is there to do?) and yes, I've already seen to it that Maybin not get invited to any of them. He sucks.
Mr. WEO Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 hahahahaha, in your silly world, is penn state located in the south east too? Because those are the players buddy actually scouted. Yeah, that is SOME spin. Especially when Buddy goes on to say that players that are top ten picks should be able to contribute immediatly and shouldn't be projects and linemen should be big and strong over speed, players that are good for more than one year, yeah, maybin has buddy written all over it. Maybe they moved Penn state to the dirty south. But I didn't hear anything. Your bias is just terrible. There are so many things to rag on nix and the bills for and you pick the one thing that doesn't add up. **Edit** people already brought it up. Has he shared this belief with his HC? His top ten pick has less than 20 carries and 80 yards in 5 games.
coldstorage5 Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 If he cant play on a 0-5 team, he will never play,... Huge bust, right up there with Williams, Mc Cargo, and Tuttle. Hopefully we will have better drafts in the future. We all know thats the only for the Bills to improve.
MDH Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 Nobody is untouchable and nobody will remain on the roster if they do not step it up. Other guy's draft picks aren't untouchable. Let's see what happens when it's this regimes high round miss.
DanInUticaTampa Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 Has he shared this belief with his HC? His top ten pick has less than 20 carries and 80 yards in 5 games. Which is A LOT more than maybin has in more than a whole season. Spiller has scored us a lot of points. But this team needs a lot of work. Spiller is also being used a lot as a reciever rather than just a tailback. Other guy's draft picks aren't untouchable. Let's see what happens when it's this regimes high round miss. Agreed. It is easy to say the other guys didn't do their job.... but if troupe, carrington, and future picks don't perform, they will either have to be in denial and keep the players on the roster or just say "we screwed up." I am guessing they would keep dead weight on the roster if it is their dead weight.... but that is a premature guess.

Aaron you wont get invited to all the good parties when your playing for Winnipeg. Really? I mean I don't know better from watching, but how does a guy become a star at Penn State and picked as an NFL first rounder without any "football instincts"? It'll will be a shame if this guy never gets it, beyond the pick that was spent on him, he sounds like one hell of an athlete. Try him out at TE why not although I am guessing if he can't get the "chase guy with ball" thing he won’t be able to run routes and understand an offense.
Ramius Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 If we reelase him the Jets will sign the guy, work with him in pass rushing situations and he will wind up being a pass rush specialist like Jason Taylor under Rex Ryan and we will look like idiots again. Just like the Jets are doing with Vernon Gholston?
Mr. WEO Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 (edited) Really?

Scouts get suckered all the time. Try him out at TE why not although I am guessing if he can't get the "chase guy with ball" thing he wont be able to run routes and understand an offense. Why TE?? Can he block?? Can he catch?? This and every FO/Staff for over 10 years at OBD has treated the TE position with total, clueless disdain---changing Maybin's number and lining him up at TE would be par for the course.

dayman Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 Translation to Gailey's comments. Maybin is not good enought to play in this league. He is so bad, that he is not good enough to be a special teams player in this league right now. If he was not a first round pick he surely would have been cut by now. Hopefully, due to is age he will wise up, work much harder and get stronger so he may be able to contribute something by 2011. If not, his career will probably be over. Spot on...and dissapointing as it ia to hear what we all know...im with those who like the frankness of gaiely/nix...i think long term they will cut rhe fat and get players
tennesseeboy Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 At this stage Gailey should have a pretty good idea that Maybin isn't in the cards as a defensive end and not as a linebacker. Cutting him or benching him for a long look at some other players is the only realistic option. The organization doesn't have to "defend" the pick as it wasn't Gailey's or Nix's decision.
billsfan_34 Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 Other guy's draft picks aren't untouchable. Let's see what happens when it's this regimes high round miss. spiller is doing fairly well...and Troup for our second hasnt arrived yet...but the DT position takes a little time.
Leonidas II Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 But...but wait, Aaron Maybin is built for the 3-4! That's what I read here all summer at least. Where are those geniuses??
berriesandcream Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 so the Director of College Scouting and the National Scout had nothing to do with the 1st pick It was all Dick's fault Sorry - not buying the Bills spin on all of the bad picks The Bills blame the most recent departed official. When Marv left it was his fault. When Jauron left it was his fault. Wait until they unload on Modrak when he eventually gets canned.

Koufax Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 I don't get the TE position idea. I could see trying a TE who couldn't catch or run routes or remember blocking assignments as a situational pass rusher who has a much simpler role, but I definitely don't view that as a productive transition for him. He needs to play better in practice and earn some more game reps, and then play better in games. He was drafted as a project, but we are way past draft day with no impact. He doesn't have to live up to his draft position...he is clearly a bust for his slot (like Whitner), but has to prove he can be a pretty good football player (like Whitner) or hand in his jersey sometime between now and the start of 2011 mini-camp. I'm okay with him riding the bench until he shows something to Chan in practice, and I'm also okay with him being thrown to the wolves and given a chance to sink or swim with more snaps...either way I think he needs to become a different football player than he is right now, and I am not too optimistic of that happening right now.
Sisyphean Bills Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 Simple. Hype. Scouts get suckered all the time. Why TE?? Can he block?? Can he catch?? This and every FO/Staff for over 10 years at OBD has treated the TE position with total, clueless disdain---changing Maybin's number and lining him up at TE would be par for the course. There is really no good reason to invest more time and energy on a bust. This is all like some kid that flushed his allowance on a shiny new toy that broke 10 seconds after he got it out of the packaging. Just move on.
spartacus Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 Buddy only Scouted the South East and No he was definitely not involved in the Maybin Pick Yeah - I guess being retired he couldn't venture too far from his home in Tennessee. Only in Buffalo would none of the top talent evaluators see their #1 pick play and not have any input on his prospects Bills fans are the most gullible in sports to buy this spin
Thoner7 Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 How come Nix gets a Pass on Maybin? Nix was on the staff that selected him. After being promoted to GM, he fired no one in the college scouting department. He hired no one, demoted no one, changed nothing. Now, that to me means he is ok with whoever was in charge with selecting him. I know if I was GM I would have booted whoever lked Maybin out the door on my first day.

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but weren't you one of those who said he would flourish in the 3-4 at OLB?
