Erik Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Ruben Brown...? I'd say that Jim Richter was better as well. Come to think of it they were both much better than Levitre IMO. Not that Levitre is a bad player but both those guys were top 2-3 at their positions in their primes.
K-9 Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 That's funny because I can't believe the level of deification for Levitre from this board. Whoever said it upthread said it best when he compared Levitre with Clements. If we get ANY better QB play next year, most of us won't even notice he's gone. GO BILLS!!!
simpleman Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Lets try this again.... Guards are a dime a dozen and should NEVER Be given huge money....ever...like throughout time. Good for andy, he suckered the Titans into overpaying a guard which is a dumb ass move for them.
Hazed and Amuzed Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Maybe Levitre didn't want to be here, why can't anyone fathom that? I like Andy but if he wanted to be paid a ridiculous sum to play here then bye-bye. Give me a guy like Stevie who took less money then he could have made on the open market(IMO) to stay here. Levitre wanted to test the market and he got paid nicely, good for him. It takes 2 to tango and maybe Andy wasn't dancing.
Mark Vader Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Exactly. Wasn't a Pro Bowler. Was solid, Meh, Not worth what he's getting paid now, not by a long short for a Guard. Yeah we all know how brilliant everyone is in selecting who goes to the Pro Bowl.
ny33 Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Yeah we all know how brilliant everyone is in selecting who goes to the Pro Bowl. He wasn't an All-Pro, either.
Kellyto83TD Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 This is the line that gets me. A lot of people here have been saying this whenever talking about Levitre. So I will ask again, if Guards are a dime a dozen, then how come the Bills haven't had a good Guard before Levitre got to this team? Honestly, who was the last exceptional Guard on this team before Levitre? No one has been able to answer this for me. We don't need exceptional guards, just good ones and good ones aren't that hard to find. When you talk exceptional or pro bowl you want LT, C, RT not guards. I will say this though, the last time we had exceptional LT, C, RT it was Woolford, Kent Hull, Howard Ballard and we went to superbowls.

GO BILLS!!! its thoughts like this the Bills execs have which is why we are out of the playoffs...still Ask CJ if he agrees??? hope you enjoy next years games No OL No QB no LB
26CornerBlitz Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 I'd say that Jim Richter was better as well. Come to think of it they were both much better than Levitre IMO. Not that Levitre is a bad player but both those guys were top 2-3 at their positions in their primes. Billy Shaw and Joe D were definitely better Guards that Levitre will ever be.
Fan in Chicago Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Are you Levitre's mother? Great response. I would have responded similarly if I did not have anything meaningful to add to the conversation
filthymcnasty08 Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Too many holes and $ to spend elsewhere.....most unfortunate will be missed.
Dibs Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 ....... I cannot find one strength for this team...except the fans. Heh......irony.
Mark Vader Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 I'd say that Jim Richter was better as well. Come to think of it they were both much better than Levitre IMO. Not that Levitre is a bad player but both those guys were top 2-3 at their positions in their primes. And how long ago was it that Ruben Brown and Jim Richter were Bills?
Fan in Chicago Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Exactly. Wasn't a Pro Bowler. Was solid, Meh, Not worth what he's getting paid now, not by a long short for a Guard. So only pro-bowlers get paid top-5 money ? Do we have a replacement in mind or will we now depend upon Wood alone to handle pressure up the middle ?

Unless born and raised in X NFL City a player isn't normally going to bend over backwards to stay esp. if married. I know if I played for say Dallas, and say Cinci called with an offer of 8 mill per vs Dallas' 5.5 - 6 mill per I go to Cinci...or I pay my wife half in the divorce lol. Seriously Guards have no business making that much jack and taking up that much cap, so if Tenn calls and offers it...you go!
RealityCheck Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Levitre is a Titan now. Get over it already.
Kelly the Dog Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 its thoughts like this the Bills execs have which is why we are out of the playoffs...still Ask CJ if he agrees??? hope you enjoy next years games No OL No QB no LB If we sign a halfway decent OG to replace Levitre, which I'm almost certain we will, our line is going to be fine, if not very good. Glenn is in his second year, Wood and Uebik are solid, and we have both Pears and Hairston back, who are both decent. I expect a Brandon Moore from the Jets signing, along with maybe Rinehart back. Our line will be fine.
Erik Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 And how long ago was it that Ruben Brown and Jim Richter were Bills? Between Reggie Mckenzie and Andy Levitre, which was the point that I was responding to.

A guard is easy to replace. We just added a LB and Free agency has just started AND we haven't drafted yet. Dear God Folks....
K-9 Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 its thoughts like this the Bills execs have which is why we are out of the playoffs...still Ask CJ if he agrees??? hope you enjoy next years games No OL No QB no LB Losing Levitre means no OL? C'mon. Get off the ledge. I'm much more worried about no QB and LBs. Even the mighty Levitre couldn't overcome those shortcomings. GO BILLS!!!
