MattyT Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 So far, the takeaway from this thread is that Cam Newton is black.
RealityCheck Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 Proof that Nix is incompetent?? His record speaks for itself. Newton like Akili runs an offense that is not pro style. In the pros with bigger faster defenders, he won't be able to run for all those yards. He doesn't have Vick's speed. I am sorry, but is this your perception of proof?
MattyT Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 I am sorry, but is this your perception of proof? What? Other than the fact that Nix has absolutely no connection to Newton or Smith he's spot on.
dpberr Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 Smith's downfall was that he spent a laughable amount of time *not* in training camp or with the team. He sabotaged his own career.
purple haze Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 Cam Newton is a one year wonder like Akili Smith. He has questionable intangibles and work ethic. I have zero confidence in Nix's ability to run the draft. He has a questionable work ethic and intangibles? Who told you that? http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/bowls10/columns/story?columnist=maisel_ivan&id=5993420 I guess his teammates and coaches are liars then. But we all know you have inside info that not even his coaches and teammates have about him.
RealityCheck Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 What? Other than the fact that Nix has absolutely no connection to Newton or Smith he's spot on. I'm sorry, this must be a major news network that I logged onto where opinion is perpetrated as fact. I'll be on my way.
purple haze Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 Cam Newton is the next Gary Coleman. LoL. I hope not. Gary is resting in peace. Hopefully Cam will be alive for years to come.

Enemarty Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 Sorry, that was my odd way of agreeing with you. given your choice of avatar, sarcasm must always be the first consideration before moving on to more insidious motives....
John from Riverside Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 Even you have to admit, Nix's design of the team thus far has been less than stellar. Picking Spiller was a huge blunder (though I know I'm in the minority on that), failing to seriously address the OL in FA or the draft, other than Moats, his first draft class seems suspect at best. Easley could be good, Spiller will turn out to be decent, Moats I think will be an overachiever his whole career (in a good way) but outside of those three, I'm not holding my breath. This is a crucial draft for the Bills. They have the ability to get three or four playmakers on Offense and/or Defense. I have no choice but to hope for the best, but so far Nix has been a huge disappointment. Well.....while we are slamming Nix lets make sure to include the WHOLE draft...... - Spiller....yep huge blunder after one year - Troupe......looks like Nix addressed line here - Carrington......looks like Nix addressed line here - Moates, Batten, Easley......jury is still out Maybe just maybe we can give a new guy more then one year to put his stamp on a team? I didn't like how little we did in free agency but if you subscribe to the theory that they needed to PURGE this team and hit rock bottom before they could truly get better then free agents this year would have just been bandaids that would have put us right where we have been....in the 7-9 and 8-8 area Lets see what Nix can do with a offseason of knowing what he he's got....a top 3 pick to work with.....a draft of players that are a year older....etc etc I cant believe anyone would even knock Nix at this point.....
Enemarty Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 I would add the same guy who allegedly offered Harbaugh the HC position a year ago, the same Harbaugh that has had the entire league in a titter the last few days. Can you say prescient?
The Senator Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 So far, the takeaway from this thread is that Cam Newton is black. Link?
DrDawkinstein Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 So far, the takeaway from this thread is that Cam Newton is black. LOL Cam Newton is the next Gary Coleman. and LOL
Gabe Northern Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 Based on what? One top pick that hasn't won OROY? PTR Agreed that OP is absurd, but it is PERFECTLY REASONABLE to worry about Grampy Nix. On the pro personnel side, Cornell Green at $3 M per year was a disaster in excess of any committed by John Guy. And Davis and Edwards were hardly good finds. The draft side was almost as troubling. Hopefully Spiller improves, but it was scary as hell to watch him try to bounce it to the outside on runs. Without major adjustments, his game is not going to translate at the NFL level. Even if he worked out, taking Spiller was a luxury pick like a Felix Jones/Chris Johnson selection that should not be made before #21 overall and certainly not by a team with this many holes to fill. The second round selection of Troup was deeply troubling, given his size and pedigree. Why not native Gronkowski there, or a NT better fit for the scheme, or to pair with penetrating Kyle Williams?

I have no choice but to hope for the best, but so far Nix has been a huge disappointment. Good thing rookies get more than one year contracts I guess. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Polian On February 7, 1985, Bills general manager Terry Bledsoe suffered a heart attack and Polian was named along with director of scouting Norm Pollom to handle contract negotiations in Bledsoe's absence. Polian was instrumental in the signing of Bruce Smith to his first NFL contract. This impressed the Bills' hierarchy enough to warrant a promotion to GM, after the firing of Bledsoe, in 1985. The fans were not impressed with the promotion of Polian however. Most observers considered the move business as usual, on a 2-14 team. I would have loved to see some of the trashing of Polian after his 2-14 season. Who says patience is a virtue?
Cotton Fitzsimmons Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 Cam Newton is the next Gary Coleman. Now the team couldn't win on the arm of just one man. The right QB for you, may not be right for some. A man is born, he's a man named Doug. Then along came ROJO, he's got the talent, but he's green! It takes different QB's for the team to win yes it does. It takes different QB's for the team to win. Oooooooh!
Mango Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 because of newtons size, say he doesnt work out as a qb. i would be willing to bet that he would be a great te. at 6'6 250 and speed, how could he not, especially with his ability to sense what a qb would be thinking. it is not uncommon for qbs to be drafted as wr. hell if tebow was at one time thought of as a hb, why not. also just a thought, running the wildcat with a guy that big and physical makes him a legitimate recieving threat, not just show like when trent lined up outside. i am not advoacting any of this, but because of his build, and athleticism, he is a utilitarian player. i am betting he could make just about any roster at a different position
bkc Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 Cam Newton is a one year wonder like Akili Smith. He has questionable intangibles and work ethic. I have zero confidence in Nix's ability to run the draft. the one thing everyone says about Buddy is he is a great evaluater of talent. With the number three pick he will not screw it up .
freester Posted January 7, 2011 Author Posted January 7, 2011 the one thing everyone says about Buddy is he is a great evaluater of talent. With the number three pick he will not screw it up . He screwed up the first round last year. The only move that I give Nix credit for is hiring Gailey. I think Gailey is an excellent offensive mind. Unfortunately Gailey and Nix are responsible for hiring for a very poor hire for defensive coordinator
