snafu Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 Thought it would have included this: Thank you. It took 63 posts to finally get to it.
Malazan Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 Ok but you know what? At least the Patriots make trades. I don't know why NFL GM's are so afraid of player trades but they're very rare. The Pats at least try it. It worked for us with Hughes and I'd love to see it done more often. This is not the common definition of "player" trade. It usually references a player for player trade.

PromoTheRobot Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 Yikes!! @WillBrinson Browns 1st-round picks 2011-15: Phil Taylor Trent Richardson Brandon Weeden B. Mingo Justin Gilbert Johnny Manziel Danny Shelton Cam Erving Maybe Yeeezus will hire their GM after we dump Whaley.
Kirby Jackson Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 Maybe Yeeezus will hire their GM after we dump Whaley.Which one? About 5 different guys made those picks? Maybe Yeezus is secretly Jimmy Haslem?
PromoTheRobot Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 Plain and simple, this is not the news I want to see. While Mingo has under-performed, it has been for the Browns. An organization where everyone under-performs. Putting that type of talent/potential in New England should definitely make us worry a bit. Beli-cheats record with reclamation projects haven't been all that good. Way more misses than hits.
Augie Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 My thoughts are the same as they were before he was (over) drafted: http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/157540-who-will-be-this-years-draft-sliders-and-busts/?p=2786146 Braggart! Nice call!
Kirby Jackson Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 Braggart! Nice call! Ha ha, I've been waiting to find something that I was right about. I go check a lot of old stuff and if (and when) I'm wrong I leave those posts sitting in the archives.
GunnerBill Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 Beli-cheats record with reclamation projects haven't been all that good. Way more misses than hits. True but he never gambles too much on them so at the cost of the odd late round pick you might as well keep taking shots. I am not hugely high on Mingo but I won't criticise them for taking the chance.

Some work and some don't buy they always go after guys like this on the cheap. Edited August 25, 2016 by Kirby Jackson

On the cheap and I've heard of him? He passes the "should the Bills kick the tires on X" evaluation with flying colors.
Beef Jerky Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 (edited) Still wondering how it is the least bit genius. Is it genius after releasing g your first round pick a year later? Edited August 25, 2016 by Beef Jerky
4merper4mer Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 Well Mingo will need to get on his HGH diet. And..........a Rodney Harrison like resurgence.

Mingo Justin Gilbert Johnny Manziel Danny Shelton Cam Erving Misery loves company, especially when you it allows you to point at a much more miserable situation than your own
26CornerBlitz Posted August 26, 2016 Author Posted August 26, 2016 Misery loves company, especially when you it allows you to point at a much more miserable situation than your own The Bills' situation is miserable? That's just plain miserable silliness to compare the two.
DC Tom Posted August 26, 2016 Posted August 26, 2016 Hell, I'd trade for him for his name alone. "Barkevious Mingo." Best football name this side of Tackle McPassRush.
Dragonborn10 Posted August 26, 2016 Posted August 26, 2016 Beli-cheats record with reclamation projects haven't been all that good. Way more misses than hits. Agreed but the Moss trade alone is enough to offset any lack of success with the others.
