BobChalmers Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 Would rather have had Tom Brady in the 2000 NFL draft instead of Leif Larsen...see how ridiculous you sound? That's in the past, get over it NO - there's a difference between reaching on a guy while skipping the obvious pick. There were tons of calls to take Wilson before and when Graham was taken. NOT the same thing as Brady. Same as Whitner over the obvious pick Ngata. Ngata's not some random guy we compared Whitner to - he was the guy everyone was calling for and expecting.
3rdand12 Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 replacement for Goodwin if he goes on IR with his Ribs If graham zigs instead of zags and Fitz beats NE on the road in '12 the whole franchise could have a different look. Chan and Fitz stay for another year. So the Jets pick him up ? is that what you are saying?
Beef Jerky Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 I was screaming for Russell and Nix chose that guy...
DC Tom Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 As though drafting Russell Wilson would have suddenly changed the environment where every QB to come in for the past TWENTY YEARS has been destroyed, and would have ended up being the Bills' salvation. Get real, people.
Best Player Available Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 Got to tailgate twice with his family. great people and made me root for the guy. But WTF was Nix thinking?
Mr. WEO Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 TJ coming into the draft: "people say I can't catch..." Buddy wasn't listening.
Magox Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 I remember a couple people in particular that were pretty invested in that guy.

John Cocktosten Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 Somehow that moron Buddy Nix watched the film of Russel Wilson throwing the ball to Graham and the rest is history. Nix was terrible.
PlayoffsPlease Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 Somehow that moron Buddy Nix watched the film of Russel Wilson throwing the ball to Graham and the rest is history. Nix was terrible. Nix took Dareus, Signed M. Williams, resigned, K. Williams, traded for Jerry Hughes. Drafted Manuel, A. Williams. He actually drafted better than Whaley.

He actually drafted better than Whaley. That dwarf on the trainer staff could have picke Dareus at number 3 and offered Mario the same blank check whent there were no other bidders. Nix didn't draft Manuel. Nix was done as GM by the time they got Hughes---his "retirement" as GM was announced 2 weeks later.
CSBill Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Per NYPost Jets beat reporter: https://twitter.com/BrianCoz/status/637993853455335424 shocker!
T master Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 It's time to let the Cousins thing go. He's pretty atrocious. But yes, TJ Graham will always be the guy they took instead of Russell Wilson or TY Hilton. Just like Maybin is the guy they took instead of Clay Matthews, Brian Cushing or Brian Orakpo. Shoulda, Coulda, Woulda !!
OCinBuffalo Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) As though drafting Russell Wilson would have suddenly changed the environment where every QB to come in for the past TWENTY YEARS has been destroyed, and would have ended up being the Bills' salvation. Get real, people. You need to get real. Seattle had their "QB plan" in place. Wilson came in and scrapped it. He was supposed to be a development project. Instead, he took the starting job away, based solely on his own play. I don't care how inept a coaching staff is: great players are great players. Which...is why Wilson just got top $. Ask any Chiefs fan: They spent a decade importing coaches, players, and even the GM, from the Patriots, because of the "Patriot Way". They will tell you: it's crap. They stopped doing it, and now? They have a damn good football team. Chiefs fans have told me directly: "There is no Patriot way. The Patriot Way is Tom Brady". "Environment" has nothing to do with it. If we need another example: Drew Brees was released by the Chargers in favor of Phillip Rivers. In the Top 10 for dumbest football move of all time(I will never forget Rivers giving that playoff game away to the Pats**). The Bills tried to get Brees. If he had come here, are you saying that he would have been overcome by "the environment"? Or better: what was "the environment" for QB in NO, before Brees got there? The legacy of Bobby Hebert? Archie Manning? --- Side note: Chiefs fans hope we start Cassle, because they believe we have a scary team, they don't want to see us beat them in the playoffs, and he is a playoff preventing QB(high risk for INTs, low reward). They should know. Edited August 31, 2015 by OCinBuffalo
rstencel Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Wilson was projected as a 5th rounder by most projections. He was considered too short by a lot of media scouts. I honestly think the Bills were looking at trying to draft him, but expected to be able to get him a bit later in the draft.

I'd take Seattle's draft board over any clown in the media's. And, there were many posters here who wanted Russel in the third. I'd take the boards of the draft guys we have here over the media's also. Edited August 31, 2015 by OCinBuffalo
