T master Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 I read 47 minutes ago the 49ers signed Thaddeus Gibson , i'm so glad our team pays attention to this stuff so we can try & improve what were doing !!!!!
Bangarang Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 We don't need a young and athletic (did I mention he ran a 4.60 40 at the combine?) linebacker when we have guys like Kelsay making plays for us.
drewfla Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 They don't want to improve. F'ing useless front office.
McD Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 I HATE THE 49ers!!! They're just a bit shittier than we are and are able to get the LB's we want/need just ahead of us!!! Remember Patrick Willis? Damn, how much different could our D look with him in there?
PromoTheRobot Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 (edited) Do we know for sure the Bills had top priority? I keep seeing posts that its last year's record they go by? PTR Edited November 1, 2010 by PromoTheRobot
McD Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 I want to hear the presser on why they didn't go after this guy....
T master Posted November 1, 2010 Author Posted November 1, 2010 Do we know for sure the Bills had top priority? I keep seeing posts that its last year's record they go by? PTR I googled his name and it said the 49ers picked him up off waivers --- i'm just posting what i read !!!
drewfla Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 Last years record until 3 games in and the Niners had more wins last year anyway.
McD Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 There's nothing on the 49ers team site, but good old Wikipedia shows him with the 49ers already.
Steely Dan Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 I want to hear the presser on why they didn't go after this guy.... I want to know why he was cut. Remember, the Bills have a guy in the FO with close ties to the Steelers.
Munch Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 Do we know for sure the Bills had top priority? I keep seeing posts that its last year's record they go by? PTR Bills had 1st crack at him. It only goes by last years record until the trade deadline. They didnt put in a claim for him, or he would be wearing red white and blue. like another poster said, I wonder why he was cut. You would think whaley would be able to get some inside info. Maybe he is a 4th rd version of Maybin
BillsVet Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 They don't want to improve. F'ing useless front office. Whaddya mean? Buddy said 10 months ago they weren't that far away!

This pretty hard to swallow considering would have been him instead of McCargo. I have no idea who this guy is, but if he was even on the Stillers practice squad as a LB, he prolly better than what we have.
The Big Cat Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 Here's what da paper said: http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/10305/1099868-100.stm Highlight: Only the Eagles and the Niners submitted claims. http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/10305/1099796-66.stm Highlight: "Linebacker is our deepest position," said coach Mike Tomlin on the team's website, "and [Gibson] is the low man on the totem pole, so we had to make that necessary move. We were thin at defensive line. It's just one of the casualties of this profession. It's very much a reality, and that's why we don't take what we're doing here for granted and we acknowledge that it's precious."
webtoe Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 Did the Bills make any other Waiver transactions during the year? If so, they may have dropped back to the end of the line, unless it continually updates each week.
plenzmd1 Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 Did the Bills make any other Waiver transactions during the year? If so, they may have dropped back to the end of the line, unless it continually updates each week. No the are first in line until they are no longer the worst team in the league. They can claim every person who is on waivers. Someone better get an answer from Buddy why this guy could not help us.
DUFF Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 (edited) Do we know for sure the Bills had top priority? I keep seeing posts that its last year's record they go by? PTR i think your right (not 100% sure)about it going by last years records, if thats the case it put us at #9 and san fran was #13 which in theory gave us a shot at him. (san fran claimed him by the way)....so we did this up!!!!!! whats up with gailey saying "we are always looking for ways to way to improve this team?" Edited November 2, 2010 by DUFF
