[closed]Systemic failure

[vegas55]

The decade long failure to make the playoffs is a systemic failure which continues to this day. The loss of Levitre is only the most recent example. The draft is difficult for every team, especially the Bills, in identifying and drafting quality NFL starters. Look at any teams draft, and most selections never pan out. So when you do find a gem, like Levitre, it's the exception, not the rule. And now we lose him, after developing him through the growing pains of rookie year etc. Now it's back to the drawing board, and the draft, to try to replace him, after only 4 years.

 

I agree the Bills should not have gotten into a bidding war and pay Levitre $8 million + to play guard. What a successful franchise does is recognize a quality player like Levitre and extend his contract in year two or three, and not wait until free agency renders him expensive and unsignable. For the umpteenth time, it's back to the drawing board to replace a quality starter we should have never lost.
