QB Bills Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 On a mediocre team it is hard to pick out superstars. Mario is the one player who may fit that bill (no pun intended). Only one stat matters and it's W/L. You're backing Jackson to the extreme which isn't surprising because that's what you do. Maybe for you. But for many fans, it isn't hard to pick out the stars on a bad team if you watch the games. Fred Jackson has been a star for a while now. I actually feel bad for any bills fan who doesn't see that. Just because we haven't made the playoffs in forever doesn't mean we haven't had some very good players on this team.
truth on hold Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 (edited) While I certainly hope that you are right, do remember that excuse making is par for the course of a Bills Fan. If Gilmore, the 10th selection of an NFL Draft, is a good football player in year 3, who's better than us? If not, perhaps the excuses will wear thin. Ya think, or should we give him 5 years or so? Gilmore hasn't lived up to expectations, and being realistic looks like he never will. But to trace the roots of the miss on gilmore you have to go back a year when we selected best fat guy available (dareus), ahead of BPA Patrick Peterson. Well Peterson is a true shut down corner and difference maker. Then in 2012 we could have taken dontari poe instead of Gilmore. Poe is better than dareus, and Poe + Peterson blows the doors off dareus + gilmore. Edited July 1, 2014 by Joe_the_6_pack
