Billsnutt Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 if they would take Kelsay for him id do it in a heartbeat
XXL Franchize Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 I'd be into it for a late draft pick but let's wait to see who gets released while the teams over the salary cap are scrambling to meet the cap. Might be some quality starters available and we have some $$$ to spend.
Red Squirrel Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 I saw a lot of him at USC, and he didn't remotely resemble an NFL caliber safety. The only thing he seems interested in is the big hit; he has no coverage skills, never has any idea where the ball was...the only thing he excels at is bodybuilding. Look, Carroll had the guy at USC and didn't want him on the Seahawks. Harbaugh played against him several times and studied film of him from the PAC-10 and doesn't want him. Let someone else waste their time with him.

Billsnutt Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 (edited) this is a guy thats only in his second years and is 6'3 230 runs a 4.31 40 yard dash and hits hard as hell put him at SS and you have another instant upgrade in run support and hes better then whitner was in coverage as well. how could you not want this guy?

gomper Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 Listening to some 49'ers talk on KNBR and Mays was working with the 3's and 4's in practice. 49'ers feel he doesn't "totally commited to football" and "lacks good instincts." FWIW
I hate the Bills ! Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 Lets trade Kelsey and Maybin for Mays- we get rid of 2 problems and inherit just 1- what can it hurt ?
XXL Franchize Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 if they would take Kelsay for him id do it in a heartbeat Agreed. Young developmental player compared to an aging mediocre player!!!!
Billsnutt Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 sloooooooooooooooooooow Really? since when is a 4.31 40 slow?

You have clearly never seen this guy play.

San Jose Bills Fan Posted August 5, 2011 Posted August 5, 2011 (edited) harbaugh doesn't like those usc players His own college coach, Pete Carroll passed on Mays and much was made of it on Mays' side. From what I remember reading he had unbelievable straight-line speed at that size, but his hips were even more stiff than Roy Williams(the Oklahoma RW). You can't blast a player away with a big hit if you can't get into position to do so.......that said, I have not seen him perform at the NFL level so I don't have an opinion from my own eyes, just what I've read. The book on Mays has always been that he's a great athlete with zero football instincts. How about Billy Mays? PTR RIP… the world is a less-colorful place without that goofball. Wasn't this the guy who got all pissy when Pete Carroll took a different safety in the draft last year? As if Carroll should have taken him because he was a USC guy? Pass. It cracks me up that the Bengals' own site ran the story based on Donte's tweet instead of on the organization's announcement. Yes, and yes. I saw a lot of him at USC, and he didn't remotely resemble an NFL caliber safety. The only thing he seems interested in is the big hit; he has no coverage skills, never has any idea where the ball was...the only thing he excels at is bodybuilding. Look, Carroll had the guy at USC and didn't want him on the Seahawks. Harbaugh played against him several times and studied film of him from the PAC-10 and doesn't want him. Let someone else waste their time with him. This is what many knowledgeable observers said about Mays… that he's not a football player. Edited August 5, 2011 by San Jose Bills Fan
NewEra Posted August 5, 2011 Posted August 5, 2011 He's terrible. Doubtful he's in the NFL 2 years from now. No agility or football instincts whatsoever.
DreReed83 Posted August 5, 2011 Posted August 5, 2011 Release Maybin and sign Mays. He'd have a better chance of bulking up
NaPolian8693 Posted August 5, 2011 Posted August 5, 2011 I'd take Mays. He's fallen off track, but the guy was blessed with a lot of talent - so there is at least SOME chance he could be good, and that's more than you can say for some people.

You either; A: have no clue what you're talking about. B: are Taylor Mays. Yes he's strong. He's he's fast. That's all. He can't move side to size. He can't recognize offenses. He sucks. I watch every niner game due to my friend being a niner fan and have come to the conclusion that he is a very lucky man. A player with his football knowledge getting one NFL paycheck Is like any one of us winning the lottery. one in a million. You said he's an instant upgrade at Run support and is better than whitner in coverage. What a farce. I'll add C to the choices. C: you play with Taylor mays in madden 11 on rookie difficulty.

This just shows you that it can be worse. Lol
