Really Williams has proven nothing but his inability to hold on to the ball. People are freaking out over an average at best back up running back.

 

I actually thought Banyard was better than Williams. JB looked more explosive and better catching passes

What has Jonathan Williams ever done to deserve such praise?

I'll wait..

Um, what praise are you talking about? That he has the potential to be a better runner than those other three? He looks better than Tolbert and just as good as Banyard, but is several years younger. Should be obvious.

@TCBills_Astro

Gillislee ---5.7 YPC, 47 carries

 

Jon Williams---5.8 YPC on 21 carries

Taiwan Jones---6.6 YPC on 11 carries

 

It's the Line.

#Bills

 

 

But what does that say about Shady?

 

Torches and pitchforks for Astro! Who's with me! :devil:

 

In all honesty this frickin' Dawkins dude is a TENACIOUS run blocker........some of his finishes in preseason were Peters-esque.

Aren't all draft evaluations and criticisms in hindsight?

 

I know you hate Whaley, but a lot of his "gems" were part of a top 5 defense. His downfall, obviously, was his undying commitment to EJ Manuel. But how many GMs find their franchise QB on purpose? He deserves criticism, but if you think for one minute that Whaley is responsible for the current state of the team, I would respectfully disagree. Terry Pegula, and his hard on for Rex Ryan, is responsible.

 

This team, after Whaley's drafts, trades and acquisitions, was a QB away from being a powerhouse. And that, my friend, can be said for a lot of teams.

 

 

Answer: Nothing.

What players did Whaley draft that were gems in the top 5 defense?

My favorite thing about Taiwan Jones is they just gave him Cardale's #7 jersey to avoid having to make a a new one

 

 

My favorite thing is that he gets returners going sideways where Lorax can jack them up.

My only real concern is that without developmental talent in place.......Banyard is 29?........they might talk themselves into using a high pick on a RB next draft and they really need to get away from that mindset.

 

Not sure I understand this point, but I would have no problem drafting a RB with great potential. To me (and apparently the coaching staff) JW was not back-up material, let alone a potential starter post-McCoy.

Yet . . . it wasn't obvious to many people, including the professional coaching staff and talent evaluators. Could it be that JW does not, infact, have "the potential to be a better runner than the other three." Appears to be the case.

Max.......it's a passing league and starting RB's are a dime a dozen.

 

Rushless!

 

Perhaps, but then I don't get all the handwringing over the "dime for two dozen" back like JW.

All what ifs.. he's nothing special.

I don't hate Whaley, I just don't love him either. I've just found the love affair a sizeable portion of the fanbase have with him fascinating.

 

And Whaley didn't have many gems on that D. That unit was in place the day he took office.

Or anyone on this team really. Is there anyone who you would wring your hands over if they got cut?

 

Shady. Dareus. Hughes. Those are the only true difference makers.

Wuddabout 10-sack Shaq? :flirt:

 

I am going to create a new stat called a "Saq"........it will be slightly easier to get than a sack.

Could be living on borrowed time.

Ok. Did you wring your hands when Sammy was traded?

 

Btw- The only one of those that I expect to see on the roster two years from now is Hughes.
