vegas55 Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Interesting comment from Donte Whitner re Marshawn Lynch - basically that Lynch was overweight and out of shape when he played for Bills. Just one more terrible first round pick, this one courtesy of the owner himself. I know Lynch has talent, but he had a terrible attitude and was a lousy fit in Buffalo.

BuffaloBill Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 What may be most disturbing is that if what he says is true it shows a total lack of leadership within the team. Players need to help hold each other accountable. Guess there was none of this with Lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All_Pro_Bills Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Did he really say that? Damn that Donte Whitner... Back when I used to use twitter to try to communicate with these guys, me and Whitner had a little back and forth action and I was like damn... This guy Whitner is a loser... Going back and forth on twitter with a nobody like me... He's too emotional... And I'm ashamed to say he's a Cancer like me born in July... Cancers like him, George Bush, and Tom Cruise jumping on top of couches give us a bad name.... For what its worth, watching a 49ers game (I can't recall which week it was) when the camera took a look at the bench, it looked like Donte added a significant amount of upper body strength between this and last season. I don't want to reach for conclusions because I have a lack of information but I'll throw the question out there. Could this be symptomatic (along with a lot of injuries) of the Bills needing to improve their strength and conditioning program? Anybody know how the Bills compare to the rest of the league here?

Justice Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 When you draft someone has young as Lynch you better be prepared to go through some immaturity issues and some growing pains. In other words, his body needs more time to develop at the NFL level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losing Rusty Jones was brutal management on our part. Urlacher specifically thanked Rusty in his MVP interview the following year. Gregg Williams always said he was the best at his job in the NFL, and DJ gave him the onion. Fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

first_and_ten Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 (edited) Wait, Ralph is responsible for Lynch being out of shape when he was in Buffalo? Not Lynch? Ralph was responsible for picking the loser. Would it really have taken that much investigation to find out what a loser Lynch was? Ralph has always meddled with the draft instead of letting the so called professionals he hired do their jobs. This team's history of failure is connected to RW. He's been a terrible owner when it comes to the football side of things. He got lucky a few times such as when Polian fell into his lap, but we all know what Ralph did to screw that up. Obviously as owner, he has the right to meddle all he wants, but the football team pays the price for it, and the fans.

Best Player Available Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I'm mad Ralph stuck his nose in and made that pick. Say what you want about drafting Lynch. But, the talking puppets on ESPN just cannot shut up praising him now. A couple of his runs this year were an example of what we saw in him. He just didn't want to do it in Buffalo. He's a runner.

KD in CA Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I'm confused. Are we mad because Ralph picked Lynch or are we mad we let Lynch go to Seattle? PTR Both. They didn't need him and shouldn't have picked him. But once they did, they sure as hell shouldn't have compounded the mistake by dumping him and wasting another first round pick on a RB. Just like they shouldn't now dump Jackson and/or Spiller and draft another RB with a high pick, which they are almost certain to do in the next couple years.

GeorgeEdwardsTeeth Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Aaron Maybin was another high draft pick who never seemed to play well until he left Buffalo. It's quite possible that great coaches like Dick Jauron and Chan Gailey have been unable to motivate players and to get them to play hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
