KOKBILLS Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 From the other side... http://www.charlotteobserver.com/sports/nfl/carolina-panthers/nfl-blog/article147558349.html Yeah...Riverboat Ron sounds really pissed... Some Bills fans and media...Ugh...The damage these 17 years have done is irrevocable...
hondo in seattle Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 I sure hope there was no collusion with Carolina's Asst GM Brandon Beane during the draft. If so I would find that VERY hypocritical and I for one would not want him to become the new GM of the Bills. Talk about having trust issues! I thought the very same thing when I first read the speculation. If Beane really tipped off the Bills, it would have been a very low integrity thing to do. Beane was getting paid by the Panthers to help the Panthers. If he's going to help another club, he can't in good integrity cash his Panther paychecks. But this is all just speculation.

I am glad he used it.

The thing is...I follow the Panthers closely...I live down here and they are my Nephews team...ANYONE who follows the Panthers knows their near-desperate need for O-Line help...And they had gone with 2 RB/WR-types with their first two picks...So beyond that the Panthers were most likely going either DE or O-Line with that last pick in the 2nd Round...It was a pretty safe bet the Panthers were looking O-Line there...And McD, knowing this, wanted to make sure the Bills got their guy...I don't think for a second he knew if the Panthers were going to take Dawkins, and to be honest after hearing RR's reaction I think Moton was the Panthers guy all along anyway...
muppy Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 hmm where's he stirring the pot emoticon..made up click bait thread if Ive ever seen one geez
BADOLBILZ Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 Yeah...Riverboat Ron sounds really pissed... Some Bills fans and media...Ugh...The damage these 17 years have done is irrevocable... I love the haughty dismissiveness. Bills fans are just paranoid.....nothing bad ever happens to their team. It was just hours ago that Terry P turned the natural gas feed valve to his Orchard Park dumpster to 10. Instead of a torch like the Raiders do for AL..........maybe we should have an honorary guest light the dumpster before every home game.
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 I'll quote McDermott again. Steel sharpens steel. I just liked that phraseology
PromoTheRobot Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 (edited) Be careful of trusting those that preach, most of the time, they are full of it.Amen to that, brother! I love the haughty dismissiveness.

Instead of a torch like the Raiders do for AL..........maybe we should have an honorary guest light the dumpster before every home game. Don't kid yourself. A segment of the fan base loves chaos. It's exciting. Edited May 1, 2017 by PromoTheRobot
12Kachy Posted May 6, 2017 Posted May 6, 2017 Very much so, and while the Bills have never won a Championship its very possible having an overabundance of good character was the driving force that helped carry the Bills to 4 straight Superbowls. Na. I was talking about when he was GM. Remember the 06-07 seasons?

Well, good. If we do hire Beane, I'll like and trust him more if he's not a cheat.
BillsFan4 Posted May 6, 2017 Posted May 6, 2017 Is this still a thing? Don't you think we would have heard of a complaint, or at the very least rumblings of an accusation from Carolina by now? All indications are that Carolona got the offensive lineman that they wanted, even though we jumped them. And Again, teams jump other teams in the draft every single year because they believe that am is targeting a player they want. We even directly traded with a team doing that this year - Kansas City. They thought New Orleans wanted Mahomes and they were right. Oh no, maybe the NFL will strip Kansas City's first round pick next year... Bills are screwed now, since we hold it. They're taking our 1at round pick AND the 1st KC traded to us (joking, of course)

We haven't heard a peep out of the Carolina orginzation about anything to that regard.
4merper4mer Posted May 6, 2017 Posted May 6, 2017 I'll quote McDermott again. Steel sharpens steel. I just liked that phraseology It sounds like something Liberace said to the attractive piano repairman who, although initially confused, soon understood the phrase. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

voodoo poonani Posted May 6, 2017 Posted May 6, 2017 (edited) We don't know whether any mischief occurred during the draft. I doubt it because those things have a way of leaking out. McD was not supposed to wipe his memory before leaving the Panthers. Any knowledge he gained while he was there is his. If he took any materials (draft notes, video, etc.) with him, however, I'm sure that violated his contract. Stepping back from the draft for a week, I think McD was just going hard to get his guys. He wants high character, experienced guys with talent. OK fine. The draft has players with some from each category, but our board probably looked very different from other teams. Before the draft some people on this board said our biggest holes were CB, WR, RT, LB, and S. Well, it looks like McD agreed. He moved up and down the board to get players he wanted to fill those spots. It seems like he plugged the first 3 holes with day 1 starters. I'm unsure at this point about the late round LBs. [s may be set with Hyde (ok) and Poyer (ew) or get some veterans thrown at it like Tre Boston.] You may not agree with who he selected or how he did it, but you can't deny that he went out to plug those biggest holes. If I were to guess by his actions, I'd say McD feels this team isn't that far from competing for a playoff spot. The rebuild might not last that long. At least, I hope it doesn't.

fansince88 Posted May 6, 2017 Posted May 6, 2017 Nothing screams character like wearing an OJ Simpson shirt for you first picture as a Bill. I see that shirt differently then most. Not a slam on OJ but a slam on police. The picture is just the opposite of the day OJ was chased in the multiple cop cars (evil white cops) chasing the one white bronco (innocent black man). I think the shirt was a poor play on BLM.
