Kirby Jackson Posted August 15, 2015 Author Share Posted August 15, 2015 Maybin. not even close. this could on foreverYou are absolutely right. He was a 1st round pass rusher that had as many sacks for the Bills as I did (at least I think). He was without question the worst decision and pick of the last decade. It isn't even close.

He was without question the worst decision and pick of the last decade. It isn't even close. But in the end, it cost the team little in opportunity lost--not a huge negative impact. The selection of Graham over Wilson will haunt this team for as long as Wilson is playing in the NFL... Worst pick, not even close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubs Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 (edited) NO is never going to sign another former Bill again. Hahahah!! Sucks for CJ. Seems like a good kid. But NO is getting smoked by Bills FAs Edited August 16, 2015 by dubs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fansince88 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 That's a clown reaction bro. Yeah he is injury prone, but with a real offensive coordinator, spiller can put up big numbers. He was over drafted, but isn't a bust. Always a good guy, I wish him the best. Agree with Beef. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BADOLBILZ Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Imagine where we'd have been with bulaga! Bulaga and Marshawn Lynch? Face it, the Spiller pick was a bad decision for more reasons than just the underwhelming career he has had. He might not have been a bust.........a huge disappointment for damn sure......but HIS SELECTION and the rationale behind it was an epic bust for the organization.

You could take any player in any draft and pretty much find a much better player that went after them. It doesn't work that way. Troup went right before Gronk. The Bills drafted Lauvale Sape instead of Tony Romo as well. There are hundreds of examples like this. The Bills could have taken Clay Matthews instead of Maybin as an example. You have to judge the worst decision on the decision that was made not one that you speculate might have been made. "Did ____ player contribute in a manner similar to players drafted near him or paid similarly to him?" You can always find a star after and just say "you should have picked him so it's a bad decision." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The selection of Graham over Wilson will haunt this team for as long as Wilson is playing in the NFL... Worst pick, not even close. hence my " this could go on forever " thought. We can extrapolate till the sun dont shine. Probably a ton of opinions due to such a history of errors. I dont care to be harsh , but the Bills drafted poorly overall for years and years.... The upside is that Whaley and Co. has been a significant improvement over Nix and Nix was an improvement over who ever the hell was before him! Trending up i think surely you can agree? I am a CJ fan for all the right reasons. i will always wish him well as a player and a person any one who says he was put in a position to succeed under Marrone should also have his head examined. He was having some great moments under Gailey till no one played Fitz deep any longer. Its easy to think he will fare much better under Payton.

Steve Billieve Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I don't understand anyone who doesn't think we got our money's worth out of Spiller. 5 year $25 million contract, seems like a steel for his production. I was sad we lost him, but hopefully not for too long if mccoy hits near expectations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leif Olve Dolonen Larsen was selected by the Bills 5 picks before the Patriots selected Tom Brady. Pretty sure that selection had a bigger negative impact on our franchise than passing on a Russell Wilson. It smacks us in the face two fold and has dictated our division since.....and is still dictating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though your right because it's a more direct pick of one over the other, to me it's always going to be missing out on Rodgers.
