Bangarang Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 Here's my take on all of this. We still have J. Williams to take over as our #2 who I think is just as capable of a RB as MG was. We get an extra draft pick to help fill depth which is an obvious problem. And we still have our workhorse in Shady. Not seeing many problems here...
dave mcbride Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 but when he had to carry the load when McCoy was hurt, he wasn't nearly effective as he was a complementary back Take out the 24 carries for 28 yards game against a great jets d-line in a game when the playoffs were on the line, and he had 43 carries for 223 yards in games mccoy didn't start or left early. Do the math.
JM2009 Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 I don't see them doing anything when they get there... If as a fan you'll be happy that the Bills just make the playoff's and that's your goal, meh, what's the point. After 17 years that should be every fan's goal-make the playoffs. All of a sudden it's SB or bust. That is ridiculous. You got a long wait with Tom Brady in the AFC. I hate to tell you that.
Beef Jerky Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 Patriots about to overpay a backup RB and the Bills are about to steal a draft ick from the Patriots.

He's shown nothing to think that.
dave mcbride Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 They basically said they'd rather have a 5th rd pick rather than a backup rb for 1 season. Fair trade to me. Gillislee wasn't isnt going to win us a super bowl this year: Huh? Most fifth rounders don't last more than a season in the nfl. Gillislee is actually good.

JM2009 Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 Patriots about to overpay a backup RB and the Bills are about to steal a draft ick from the Patriots. Whaley's history with fifth round picks is bad. MG is better than that fifth round pick. Shouldn't have come to this anyways. Been a fan for longer then 17 years... You do know that 17 is the current playoff drought?
Beef Jerky Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 Whaley's history with fifth round picks is bad. MG is better than that fifth round pick. Shouldn't have come to this anyways. Don't care what his history is... All that matters is this draft. A backup RB won't win/lose this team any games.
JM2009 Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 defense probably cost the Bills 4-5 games last season.......and the Ryan twins I agree. At least they are gone.

Gillislee wasn't isnt going to win us a super bowl this year: For $3.2M per year he better win us a Super Bowl NOW. Otherwise give me the pick that yields a player of his production a good 5% of the time or so. Hot thoughts.
JM2009 Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 Don't care what his history is... All that matters is this draft. A backup RB won't win/lose this team any games. For a run oriented team to lose it's backup to McCoy. A backup who is very good, is a loss.

Kirby Jackson Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 that would be a million dollars thenI know, that's my point. It would have been cheaper to give him the 2nd round tender than to have to match this deal.
Bangarang Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 I don't think Williams is as good. He's shown nothing to think that. It's you against the world right now.
BuffaloHokie13 Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 Okay, honest question here. The Patriots do not have a 2nd or 1st round pick. If we were to have put a 2nd round tender on Gilly could they have even made an offer?
JM2009 Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 It's you against the world right now. Not really. It's split on here.
oldmanfan Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 I know, that's my point. It would have been cheaper to give him the 2nd round tender than to have to match this deal.Because the Pats are seriously overpaying for the guy. Should the Bills do the same? I'm not sure of the rules but do they have to exactly match the offer or put a deal together that's better?
JM2009 Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 It's you against the world right now. and you were moonlighting on here all along. lol
dave mcbride Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 Good lawd. Take their draft pick and sign Blount. You just got better. No you didn't. Blount looked slow late last season and he's not going to get any faster.
