Captain Hindsight Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 Garcon is a nice player. I wouldnt be opposed that move. How is he as a route runner? Admittedly i don't know much about him
Turbosrrgood Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 (edited) Garcon is a nice player. I wouldnt be opposed that move. How is he as a route runner? Admittedly i don't know much about him I compare him to SJ (Garcon is probably faster though), he can get open, and makes nice sharp cuts. My impression of him, is that he runs good medium to intermediate routes, and often breaks them for big plays. I think that's perfect for the Bills offense, he does have the speed to go down field when needed too. SJ can go deep as well, they just rarely try it. Also like SJ though, Garcon drops plenty of passes. Someone mentioned the Gailey connection to Bowe, that is an excellent point. And another guy that I think would really fit into Gailey's offense, he would probably be my first choice, with Garcon coming in second. I am a little nervous about a pure deep threat like VJ, and how well Gailey/Fitz could get him involved in the offense. Edited January 11, 2012 by Turbosrrgood

Just in Atlanta Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 Seemed to do well with a poor passer. But Nix said he wanted a big receiver. Besides, he doesn't sign players with cedillas in their name. Gotta think either Bowe or V Jackson is an option.
Pirate Angel Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 A deep threat when our QB cant throw a deep ball?
PDaDdy Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 I have high hopes as well but realistically look at our plan that we have implemented. Late round picks and UFAs. I'm not saying that to be negative but I think that is just our general strategy. That being said we have gone against it before where we give retreads and people looking to get their career back on track. We did get Owens. We did get Lofton way back in the day. We did get peerless price back even though he didn't pan out.
The Big Cat Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 "Garcon, what is this fly doing in my soup?" "That's the backstroke, sir." youtube.com/watch?v=1ACoyiKXeTs I've watched the guy play before, but after seeing those highlights in quick succession, he strikes me as being a Stevie clone! No way Indy lets him walk... A deep threat when our QB cant throw a deep ball? When Peyton Manning is your quarterback, every receiver on the field is a deep threat.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 "Garcon, what is this fly doing in my soup?" "That's the backstroke, sir." youtube.com/watch?v=1ACoyiKXeTs Perfect… except that it would be Gatorade.
Local607 Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 Unless they spend their first round pick on a big time pass rusher then the bills need to go with the receiver who was the beast of the bowl games, OSU's Blackmon. It may, or may NOT, be a stretch to say he single handedly beat Stanford! I didn't see anyone even close to controlling a game in any of the bowl games the way he did. Leaving aside stevie johnson's self-centered, childish antics where he put himself before the team, he's a GREAT #2 receiver. But not a number one. Much like former Bill, Pearless Price.

Blackmon would be great, but I think he'll go top 5. That could change, of course, if he does poorly at the combine or in individual interviews. V Jack seems like a bit of a headache (much like Stevie is at times), and Garcon will probably be resigned. Bowe seems a likely option, even though his hands are a bit questionable as well. But, from what I've watched of KC recently (which isn't much), he has seemed to put a lot of his dropping issues behind him.
3rdand12 Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 I believe the phrasing would properly finish... ...Sir i believe that would be the back stroke. Much better punch and perspective Delivery is the key Mr. Bot to this type of humor. i did laugh thanks. Garcon would be a great addition for his range of skill as compared to Bowe who is also what most of us would like to have on the field with stevie. If garcon would even be available ?. But i would guess that won't happen. we wont get into a bidding war with them for him and they will want to retain him as mentioned by folks above. i would like to ask this? Honestly, do we need a deep threat with Fitz? I think as an NFL team we do. But maybe not us not now is my current opine. I think we need a receiver like garcon or himself actaully. Good call on that OP!
marauderswr80 Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 Absolutely id take him...honestly though in the end if we want anyone to come to buffalo its gonna take a lot of work and money! I just don't see many FA's coming here unless they are getting paid....money talks...unless your clabo and use us....
The Wiz Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 A deep threat when our QB cant throw a deep ball? That's where I got confused too.
jumbalaya Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 I'd welcome him. That being said, we're probably more likely to go for someone who was recently injured, or try to develop more UDFAs. As long as we can grab that recently injured QB that he played with in 2010 I would take him.
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 I would like Garcon or Robert Meachem. You mean AND not or right?
Dragonborn10 Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 Garcon would be an excellent pickup. But, if Peyton is still the QB, I seriously doubt that with Wayne and Garcon both free agents they are going to let Garcon (more upside) go if they have to choose between the two. And, if you ask Gacon who he prefer catching passes from, Peyton or Fitz, we know the answer. But again... it all hinges on what goes down in regards to Peyton and a whole lot of decisions the Colts have to make... especially on defense and cap space. If they pay a 28 million dollar roster bonus they will not have the money to bring back Wayne and Garcon. Then they probably go with Wayne on a three year deal. If they let Peyton go, my bet is they let Wayne walk too and sign Garcon to a 7 year deal. Pair him with Luck, sign a FA tackle and, then draft three more offensive lineman and a TE.

Pair him with Luck, sign a FA tackle and, then draft three more offensive lineman and a TE. I disagree. Waynes 32 years old, and the Colts are rebuilding. Unless Wayne agrees to a significant hometown discount, he's gone IMO. Garcon should be the Colts top offseason priority.
EldaBillsFan Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 I think he would be a great pick up for this team. Not only can he run deep, but he is very good underneath as well. The only knock on him is, like stevie, he drops a lot of balls. Actually I have always thought Garcon and SJ were very similar players, with Garcon probably having a little more speed. Still, people have been talking about guys like VJ, who while very good is more of a pure vertical threat. I think the Bills need a guy like Garcon, or Bowe, that can catch the ball underneath AND stretch the field when needed. Huh....stevie drops a lot of passes????
blogic2 Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 I would like Garcon or Robert Meachem. Meachem is a good choice!! Tall and fast!! Limited role in N.O.

He catches most of the balls thrown to him and it's not even close. And VJ can catch balls underneath as well. But with the Bills that's what Stevie's forte is. Garcon would be a good pick up though. Or Meachem or Manningham. The Bills need a guy to stretch the field. Stevie and Nelson can do the underneath stuff as well as Fred and CJ. Edited January 12, 2012 by purple haze
