vegas55 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 We draft a Demetrius Bell, patiently work to develop him into a fairly talented and consistent LT, and after 4 years and just as he hits the prime of his career, we let him go. So we now must use our # 1 pick on an LT prospect, who may or may not be a successful player, who will not in his rookie year be as good as Bell. So we have to suffer through the rookie pangs at one of the most important positions on the field. So again we have to wait for guy to develop, and depth remains a problem. How do you get better operating like this. The answer is you don't and that's why it been a decade + since we made the playoffs Same is true with Roscoe. Finally develops into the dangerous slot receiver he was envisioned to be when we used a second round pick on him. He can't cost that much, knows the offense and depth at wide receiver was a huge problem last year. Both these guys have had injuries issues, but having an injury in one year does not mean you will be injury prone for the rest of your career Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apuszczalowski Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 The Bills made an offer to Bell and he didn't counter it, Sometimes guys want to test the market first to get the best deal. Its not like Bell was some spectacular LT. He was looking good/decent, but he was also getting injured alot. its not like the Bills spent alot of resources to get him As for Roscoe, he has already been re-signed in the past and the issue isn't that they want to get rid of him cause he can't play, his problem is he can't stay on the field. Sometimes you just have to let players go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until then your post is waaaaaay premature. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Same is true with Roscoe. Finally develops into the dangerous slot receiver he was envisioned to be when we used a second round pick on him. He did? When did that happen exactly, while he was sitting on IR for the last year and a half? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegas55 Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 Obvious troll It's funny how any criticism of how the Bills front office operates is met with total defensiveness or comments like the above from low income, low iq types. Here's a secret that the entire NFL knows - the Bufffalo organization and it's football / personnel decisions are among the worst in NFL - and have been for a long time.

Both these guys have had injuries issues, but having an injury in one year does not mean you will be injury prone for the rest of your career It does if you are small(Parrish) and weak(Bell) Both are good athletes. An dhave the ability to play in the NFL. But both also have shown the inability to take the beating the NFL dishes out. It is as simple as that. SJ got his new contract and Chandler got one. So Bills are showing the desire to lock up the good talented guys. And at FAIR contracts, none the less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been very critical of the front office and if they whiff again I will be right there with ya. But it looks like they are trying to make some things happen so I have to give them the benefit of the doubt and let thing unfold. Terrible troll.

What would you suggest, we lock him in a basement and refuse to let him leave? Roscoe is constantly injured. Why be negative on a day when all signs to the FO actually being on the ball?
