buffalover4life Posted November 28, 2012 Posted November 28, 2012 (edited) QB- Andy dalton HB1- CJ spiller HB2-Fred Jackson Wr1- A.J. green Wr2- Stevie Johnson Slot- David nelson Offensive line that we now have. our defense minus Marcell and and Aaron. Right now not to big of a hit. I still think Marcell will be a great player but Aaron is a bust. We most likely would have stayed a 3-4 defense becasue we would not have had those 4 dominant D-linemen we still would have signed Mario Williams. The D-line would still have been good. and the whole defense would have had a year experience in the 3-4 and all of these mental errors might not have been happening. The LBs would have stayed where they were and not have to learn new technique, lets remember this is the pros you don't just change position and expect that you will be just as good in the other position. -Barnett would not have had to make the move to the outside we were counting on him being the same player we got in 2011. -Bryan Scott would have been more suited to play LB in the 3-4 as well. -the scheme has killed our defense this year.. We now know andy dalton was a good pick now. He was not a sure thing coming out but he was a winner and had a good head on his shoulders. I think chan could have made him better than he is in cincy. he would also have a more complete offense around him. AJ green was a sure thing I don't want to here hind sight is 2020 AJ green was a beast you can go back and watch his College tape and see he was going to be a star he was making those catches only special players make and is a great athlete. he has been doing it his whole life, even in highschool This Our offense would be top in the league. knowing the bills we would not have resigned stevie though. I can't see a way that chan messes that up. Edited November 28, 2012 by buffalover4life
truth on hold Posted November 28, 2012 Posted November 28, 2012 offense would be a lot better IMO. hard to tell on defense because it's unknown what we would have done in FA, we had a lot of cap space to invest and it still would likely have gone somewhere
marauderswr80 Posted November 28, 2012 Posted November 28, 2012 I just dont have any faith in our coaching staff to make anything work! Good post though!

Hsp08 Posted November 28, 2012 Posted November 28, 2012 Dalton pick over Aaron Williams, is that for sure now? Got fried asking that last yaer.
Dr. Trooth Posted November 28, 2012 Posted November 28, 2012 Let it go. It does not matter. The Bills would still suck as bad as they do, with or without those guys. There is only one possible happy ending to this mess... new ownership.
KollegeStudnet Posted November 28, 2012 Posted November 28, 2012 I wish Dalton and Green were on our side...
zow2 Posted November 28, 2012 Posted November 28, 2012 I thought about something similar today. What if you simply put Dalton on the Bills in 2012 and Fitz on the Bengals. Would the team records be different today?
Webster Guy Posted November 28, 2012 Posted November 28, 2012 I posted this same thing as thought starter about a week ago. It got some interesting responses because it's fun to think about what would have happened if we went with the two best offensive players available in the first two rounds. After seeing Dalton on Gruden's QB Camp, he just seemed like such a great Buffalo Bill to me. Humble, hard working dude that just wants to help his team win. Like Fitz only with accuracy and arm strength. Without an offseason training camp, AJ Green and Dalton both made the pro bowl (and the playoffs) and from what I've seen this year they both seem to be getting better, despite virtually no surrounding cast. If you haven't seen them play, AJ Green has two guys on him all game and still gets open constantly. He leads the NFL in touchdowns and is on pace for a 1400 yard 15 touchdown season. It's interesting to think what this team would look like with Stevie and AJ Green, Spiller and Freddie our offensive line and an accurate young QB (he's at about a 90 passer rating this year) with Chan's offensive mind. Look I know we were horrible against the run in 2010. Worst in the league. Dareus was the best run stuffer in the country and he was an easy pick, but the Bengals went from 4-12 to 9-7 in one draft with two guys that would have made great Buffalo Bills.
atlbillsfan1975 Posted November 28, 2012 Posted November 28, 2012 (edited) I got agree with some of the other posters...coaching is screwing this team up. They would screw up green and dalton. Chan would have green runing underneath routes and getting his head knocked off!! Marcell looked like a man last year, this year average. Now i will say Dalton over Aaron is a yes!!! Chan is an idiot. Sorry but you could give him the best players and he would find a way to screw it up. Offensive guru mind???? WTF are you watching??? He managed one touchdown the last 8 quarters!!!!! that is not a guru!!! that is an inept in over his head old fart!!! Edited November 28, 2012 by atlbillsfan1975
papazoid Posted November 28, 2012 Posted November 28, 2012 Dalton would still be "inactive" learning the playbook and A J Green would be the 3rd wideout....
Dean Cain Posted November 28, 2012 Posted November 28, 2012 AJ Green is the best overall player in the 2011 draft, a complete choke job by Buddy not to draft Green. What happened to best player available? Buddy passed on a sure-fire HOFer and got a good player who may or may not make a couple of Pro Bowls.
Billshank Redemption Posted November 28, 2012 Posted November 28, 2012 it is interesting I feel like every team in the nfl over the past 13 years has had that one season where it just all came together or they just put all the right cards on the table. We never had that and Im scared that we wont have that for a long time.
JPS Posted November 28, 2012 Posted November 28, 2012 "If "ifs" and "buts" were candy and nuts, wouldn't it be a Merry Christmas?" Yeah. Dont play that game.
White Linen Posted November 28, 2012 Posted November 28, 2012 I would have preferred we drafted Brady. Or maybe drated up to get Luck or RG3. I wish we have signed Brees when he was a free agent. What's the point?
thewildrabbit Posted November 28, 2012 Posted November 28, 2012 Marcel was graded as the best player in that draft by many many people, and he should be such a dominate force if given the right coaching. Not to mention losing his brother had an impact no matter how little time he missed. I got agree with some of the other posters...coaching is screwing this team up. They would screw up green and dalton. Chan would have green runing underneath routes and getting his head knocked off!! Marcell looked like a man last year, this year average. Now i will say Dalton over Aaron is a yes!!! Chan is an idiot. Sorry but you could give him the best players and he would find a way to screw it up. Offensive guru mind???? WTF are you watching??? He managed one touchdown the last 8 quarters!!!!! that is not a guru!!! that is an inept in over his head old fart!!! If you think Gailey is inept and in over his head...what about Dave Wannstedt? Now think about how much ole Dave has screwed one of the NFL's best D lines into the ground this season.
JM57 Posted November 28, 2012 Posted November 28, 2012 .....if we drafted them, they would be as good as thigpen and donald jones right now. Coaching.
buffalover4life Posted November 28, 2012 Author Posted November 28, 2012 I would have preferred we drafted Brady. Or maybe drated up to get Luck or RG3. I wish we have signed Brees when he was a free agent. What's the point? Conversation It was the pick behind us for both spots and both positions we needed.
