Cripple Creek Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 (edited) A 3rd?! Lmao. Why does a 3rd round pick make you laugh your ass off? I mean, I know he's no Kelvin Sheppard or anything... Edited March 25, 2017 by Cripple Creek
John from Riverside Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 We drafted Goodwin in the third, we're starved for WR. Doubt we'd find as impactful of a player at this position in this years draft. So yeah, if it took a 3rd, I'd do it too. For all of Goodwin's faults....injury prone....lack of size.....etc He still is a better bet then this guy for the fact that he probably would not be on the field for us for the full year do to some personal bs......i would not give up more then a 5th for this guy

BobbyC81 Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 ...Wrecks is gone....clowns no longer welcome................. A great alternative team logo could be a clown face in a circle with a line thru it.
BADOLBILZ Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 I find that last sentence quite ironic, as you're basically saying that you're against instant gratification, but you're also against taking a QB to groom behind Taylor. Bottom line with QBs is this: if there's a guy that you feel can be a franchise QB, and you don't have a guy in the fold who you know is a franchise QB, then you pick the QB. It's that important. The main reason we've had QB issues for most of the existence of this franchise is because of seeking instant gratification by drafting players that are perceived as plug and play.......hence the very high amount of RB's and DB's this team has taken early. Having that organizational will-power to draft QB's in round 1 has been almost non-existent...........literally never selected one with their originally slotted first round pick in ANY draft........always trying to shortcut at the top position.

Bc theyre expected to flat out release Gordon. Gordon has played 5 games in 3 YEARS. Why not a 2nd round pick? Why stop at a 3rd? Edited March 26, 2017 by bobobonators

machine gun kelly Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 If you count back to college, this talented kid has been in trouble with drugs 9 times. Why are we even talking about him? McDermitt would never consider a character issue guy like him.

McDermitt would never consider a character issue guy like him. I know it's a time honored tradition on TSW to wrongly think that you have the new coach's mind figured out......or simply that he MUST see things exactly like you do because, you know, they fired the OTHER guy because he didn't see things as you do. But there is absolutely no indication whatsoever that he wouldn't strongly consider a character risk. Where do you guys come up with this stuff? Is it because he's "faith based"?

For me, somewhat yes (not the faith based part but him valuing high character, versatile players. It's a perception derived from the things the coach has mentioned at the forefront of his direction for the team, along with the Pendulum swing the organization may take in this aspect), considering under Rex they took some extra chances on troubled type guys. Can't speak for the other poster, but most every thing I "Come up with" is due to the clues and facts provided along with logical assumptions based on all the available information.

So what you're saying is that McDermott's faith based approach is "fire and brimstone," rather than "love others as I have loved you?"

That's exactly what I expected to hear.........."McDermott would never consider a character issue guy".......because of some hot air he blew at his intro PC. All we know about McDermott was that he was a lukewarm HC candidate with modest success as an NFL DC. That's it........we have no idea what kind of head coach he will be. If you want to look at his background, that was with the team that took the chance on the most polarizing character risk the NFL had ever seen......Michael Vick........and a team that hung onto Greg Hardy as long as possible. I think it would benefit the mental health of the fanbase if they just realized that this guy is a complete unknown........the whole "faith based" angle works any way you want it........he can use it to justify giving guys another chance the way Tony Dungy would just as easily as using it as a rationale for acquiring "faith based" players etc..

It's astounding how many posters in the "changes to the FO" thread want to turn the entire franchise (GM, personnel duties) over to McD when the guy hasn't even been HC for a single game yet. Regardless of what anyone thinks about Whaley, we don't even know if McD can handle basic HC stuff like clock management and replay calls, let alone the additional responsibility of building the roster. Typical Bills fans though, we can never have more than one nice thing. Looking back over the past 15 years, and if you want to give McD the benefit of the doubt, then the current team of Whaley/Monos/McD might be the best FO staff we've had in a long time (not saying much, I know, but still). Keep them all together. Let them have varying opinions and disagreements as they hash out how to build for the best. It's ok if they dont agree on everything. That can actually be a good thing. But I digress... Let's wait and see on McD before we crown him anything.
YoloinOhio Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 (edited) I don't think Gordon is McD's type of player but it is possible that he's changed his attitude and approach as his career hangs by the thinnest of threads at only 25 yrs old. So it's possible that he would accept a low risk move to acquire him (conditional low round pick for example) IF he is reinstated to see if he is indeed worth a roster spot not only from ability but from a commitment standpoint. If he's not, cut him and move on. If he proves himself worthy to play for the team, both on and off the field it's a major win. It's different than giving a huge FA contract or using a 1st round pick on a character risk. Imo Edited March 26, 2017 by YoloinOhio
Mr. WEO Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 So the guy who wrote the article decided the Bills have interest? The title is misleading since it is just what the author wants to happen. Their is no mention of interest. I don't know why you guys do things like that just for the clicks What's wrong with reading piece that catches someone's interest and then deciding if it is likely legitimate. This place is becoming overloaded with increasingly bizarre (and clearly contradictory) attitude toward the media.

Maybe motivate him to stay focused on a return to the NFL via Bills? A man has to have a reason. McD should give him one since his Coach has seemingly closed the door. Richie got motivated.
TheyCallMeAndy Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 I hope this kid went to rehab or something. THAT SAID there is no way this article is accurate, provides nothing that comes close to a source and it's some no name website.
