Garranimal Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 (edited) See here is the problem. It isn't just the 8 games and one season....it is the concept that he never showed anything in college that warranted the belief that he could be a franchise QB. What the 8 games have done is just strengthen the concern that what you are seeing is more of the same of what he did at FSU but against real competition. Edited January 11, 2014 by Beerball
Gray Beard Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 This is very logical and I could see that happening. Few can make a good argument against BPA. I'll make an argument against BPA: CJ Spiller.He was lauded as BPA and therefore a good pick. I believe that a road grading O Lineman, a run stopping LB, a versatile DE, a big mean WR, a TE with good hands and reasonable speed are all much, much, much more useful than a waterbug back. That is true now, and that was true then. I was depressed about that pick then, and I stand by my belief that it was the wrong pick at the time. Chan got reasonable productivity out of him, but he was rarely the electric, game changing, multifaceted threat that everyone said he would be. As far as backs are concerned, FJ is the prototype. Reasonable speed, good blocker, doesn't go down after the first hit, good hands. I hope that this year the Bills realize that they need to find his successor and it should be a priority in later rounds or as a UDFA. PS. I am not optimistic about EJ, but it is too early to really know.
Kemp Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Oddly, I felt he was a quick learner with physical limitations. Geno struck me as the slow learner with less physical limitations.
CodeMonkey Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 I'll make an argument against BPA: CJ Spiller. He was lauded as BPA and therefore a good pick. I'm sure he was the Bills BPA because Gailey really wanted a skatback for whatever reason. But I have doubts that he was the BPA on most teams boards at #9.
Hapless Bills Fan Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 flashes of terrible interceptions all day long Brees was brutal to watch as a charger. Have you ever thought that your perception of INTs might be a little biased? Yes, his 1st 2 years playing for San Diego, Brees did throw a lot of picks. Then he had 2 years where he was very accurate indeed - especially 2004, 24 TD and 7 INTs. I would welcome such brutality to watch in our Bills.
