1B4IDie Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 If the Rams called the Bills today and said. I'll trade you Tavon Austin and TJ McDonald for EJ Manuel, Kiko Alonso, Marquis Goodwin, and Chris Gragg, The Bills couldn't stop laughing long enough to say No. If the Colts wanted to trade Kelvin Seppard for Jerry Hughes, that would be a big negatory as well. Early Returns are looking good. Give the man props.
Garion Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 Agreed very early but looks like this team isicking them well.
boyst Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 WSS...man if the Bills tank we are going to have to put you on 24 hr watch and keep sharp objects away from you
nemhoff Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 And who they picked is a huge part of that equation
1B4IDie Posted August 17, 2013 Author Posted August 17, 2013 Boss Hogg gets no credit for the trade? Boss Hogg had to have draft picks pried from his cold, almost-dead hands. So I'm thinking he had little to do with it.
boyst Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 What does Sorrel Booke have to do with this? ...no joke, I know this off the top of my head, Boss Hogg was born in Buffalo, has a degree from Columbia and Yale, too. Married some very popular journalist and died in 94.

Perhaps, I guess well never know. However, he was the GM at the time of the trade. If he's gonna get flack for poor moves made as GM, he should get credit for good moves made as GM.
BUNCH OF MULARKEY Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 Boss Hogg gets no credit for the trade? That's some funny sh** . I will think of chan as roscoe and fitz as cooter davenport now.

Everyone else in the NFL apparently knew he was broken.....and not even very good before he became so pass rush averse that he couldn't function in the pocket. I've heard people say the team HAS to keep a veteran backup, but if the veteran is that sh*tty what's the point? Edited August 17, 2013 by BADOLBEELZ

I've heard people say the team HAS to keep a veteran backup, but if the veteran is that sh*tty what's the point? Yea but he had to do something when he signed kolb. He had no idea at the time that the future draftee and undraftee rookie quarterbacks would out play ANY veteran. Kapernick took half a year to be playable. Good grief maybe we just got lucky and got a good one for a change.
BUNCH OF MULARKEY Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 Boss Hogg gets no credit for the trade? I hope sorrel is hanging out at the boars den watching tape to help sperm Whaley in 2014 like he promised. Unless he's watching qvc getting good value on non stick cookware these days...

Good grief maybe we just got lucky and got a good one for a change. I gotta' admit, I was expecting you guys to blame Buddy for signing Kolb. Truth is, all these moves were actually made under the watch of GM Buddy Nix and suggesting that Whaley had the chief say in them is utter, fact-free opinion. As for Kolb, when you sign the laughingstock of all starting QB's in the NFL and anoint him to the top of your depth chart AT ANY POINT, you kinda' get everything you deserve when they live up to their reputation. He's basically a shorter version of Trent Edwards out there.

He's basically a shorter version of Trent Edwards out there. He sure was unstable, thats for sure. I haven't seen that much foot movement since Bledsoe. Still, there was some value in signing him, esp in the vaccuum of Fitz having been released and the draft not yet upon us.
djp14150 Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 The Rams-bills deal was just about to the T in terms of a draft pick value chart. Rams are closer to the playoffs than buffalo is as of now. their missing piece was the speed receiver that Austin is. They accumilated aboatload of extra picks in the RG3 trade with Washington. As for the other deal....it had more to do with different systems and team depth. With buffalo picking another ILB in the draft Sheppard was expendable. in indy hughes was viewed as expendable. Success in this league is so much based on systems and players who fit the systems they are playing in.
