DefenseWins Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 Seriously, Which would you like to see in a Bills uniform next season?
john Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 Jackson is a more talented receiver but I can't help but want Stevie back. I know about his problems with celebrations after touchdowns, but that does not take back how he has totally embraced the city of Buffalo and made it his home. He has been that way since day one and it's obvious to me that he loves the players, the fans, the team, the entire city and what it stands for and he wants to stay. Please don't confuse immiturity with not being a team player or with not loving his team. That is totally absurd. Vincent Jackson is super talented. That is a fact. He is also selfish to the 10th power and when he held out as long as he could last year, I was done with the guy. Totally not a team player. Never has been and never will be.
dayman Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 I'd rather win w/ stevie not sure how good the other guy is i know he's good
DefenseWins Posted January 6, 2012 Author Posted January 6, 2012 I agree that Vincent Jackson is super talented. And there are in fact several other FA WR's who may be available. Assuming we can have only one, doesn't it make sense to at least shop around and find out if one of these guys might be interested in playing here? Let's get the most bang for our buck...

Assuming we can have only one, doesn't it make sense to at least shop around and find out if one of these guys might be interested in playing here? Let's get the most bang for our buck... sure, but that has nothing to do with the poll question. it was simple. if you could just choose one, would you want johnson or jackson.
DefenseWins Posted January 6, 2012 Author Posted January 6, 2012 sure, but that has nothing to do with the poll question. it was simple. if you could just choose one, would you want johnson or jackson. I used Vincent Jackson as such because right now he seems likely to be available, and as we both agree is super talented (certainly equal to or better than Stevie Johnson and minus all the drama) and depending on co$t might be a wiser choice. Some people will feel different for different reasons... I am curious how deep the support for Stevie is around here?

john Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 let's be clear. jackson is faster, bigger, stronger....a true number one. steive might be a number one but that has yet to be proven. still, i want stevie. he wants to be here. that means a lot to me. loyalty. jackson is a punk who is only playing for money. could care less where he plays. just my opinion obviously but it's based on what i've seen over the last three years.
nbash Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 Both are children. As are Dwayne Bowe and Desean Jackson, the other top WR free agents. Regardless, Jackson won't sign in Buffalo, we just don't land the guys who are in demand. Robert Meachem? Or would he be insane to leave that Saints offense?

Regardless, Jackson won't sign in Buffalo, we just don't land the guys who are in demand. Robert Meachem? Or would he be insane to leave that Saints offense? Funny how many wideouts are head cases, isn' it? I wonder if it has to do with the constant professional fear of decapitation. Anyways to the OP, for the sake of this little exercise, we're assuming that each player would come at equal cost?
nbash Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 Yeah, it comes with the territory, I guess. Oh to see the likes of another Andre Reed.
john Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 Yeah, it comes with the territory, I guess. Oh to see the likes of another Andre Reed. no kidding. after watching easley in preseason, i made the remark to one of my friends that he reminded me of a young eric moulds. (he'd need to bulk up a little of course). i know it was only a preseason game but he dominated the first half of action against jacksonville and gave me hope of what he could be...then of course the mysterious illness and the rest is history.
Best Player Available Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 Yeah, it comes with the territory, I guess. Oh to see the likes of another Andre Reed. Or James Lofton.
john Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 Or James Lofton. or don beebe. heck, i'd take back peerless price now...at least the price of 2002 with his breakout season when he went deep early and often with bledsoe. heck, i'd take bucky brooks right now.

mrags Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 (edited) I'd take Stevie in a heart beat. I know VJ is great but he's not without incident either. So for what it's worth, i'd rather have the guy that's been here and produced back to back 1,000 yard seasons and already has a repor with Fitz. But I'd try and make sure to get both. As far as Reed or Lofton, neither were without incident either. Reed was a major cry baby, especially at the end of his career. Wasn't Lofton involved with some off the field issues, beating his wife or something like that? Just saying, none of these players are without incident, most have some issue here or there.

San Jose Bills Fan Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 does anyone think easley's career is finished? Within the past two weeks he was given medical clearance to continue his career… after hanging in limbo for months. I'm gonna take the hopeful road on this one.
