That said, I wish him well and he has a nice life away from football. plus being 6 3 and 330 LBs--100 LBs above what even a muscular guy at 6 3 should be.. puts stress on the system.
Captain Murica Posted April 11, 2018 Posted April 11, 2018 2 hours ago, BillsFan4 said: It was also said that things got drastically worse in Carolina after Beane left because Beane was the bridge between Gettleman and the players. http://www.wgr550.com/articles/news/how-losing-brandon-beane-may-have-played-role-panthers-firing-gm-dave-gettleman I was going to say this exact thing. It was even made apparent once Gettleman was relieved of his general managerial duties DeAngelo Williams tweeted out he would sign with Carolina if they called and took them off his list of teams he wouldn't play for. 1

One guy retires because of a spinal condition making it too dangerous to play. And those mean the GM is anti-player. Is there some way this site infects the brains of some with bad acid or something? i have already read some very wtf posts. and that is usually my role to act out About Gettleman, what i had read on him is that he was very much unapproachable at the player level and possibly disliked or worse. That was awhile back though. Who doesn't love Beanes ? 1 hour ago, mead107 said: No your post seem quip to some, i might consider. harsh yet succinct .

One old, roided, cranky player wants more money than he's worth to justify poor life decisions that have permanently damaged his vital organs = GM may have a personnel problem. stretching is good for the body. reaching can be as well. over reaching can strain a muscle. and you might have issues. or be perfectly correct Beanes is a swell guy. we know that /S Edited April 11, 2018 by 3rdand12

He was a pretty average player, maybe slightly above average center making top ten center money. He's been okay but definitely overpaid. Very overrated by fans. you might be parsing snips. He was our center. He was loyal and serviceable. And certainly had his good moments getting to the second level. we might best be Gentle folks and give some thanks to him for his sincere, steady and quality effort. Tomorrow is a new Day

Puts stress on the joints and cardiovascular system- major arteries go to renal and hepatic- not fed properly not happy for sure. 1 hour ago, OldTimeAFLGuy said: ...perhaps the timing of his announcement, citing those health concerns (don't they undergo an extensive post season physical??) right after his pay cut and agent firing make everything highly suspect IMO......and quite frankly, we will NEVER know.............moving on............. Yep- moving on. Truth be told, I liked how he rebounded his career but it is what it is now!

I have love for Wood, but I'm just saying he was overpaid for what he provided. I think it is okay to like him and still think he was overrated no? It just goes into the original topic about Beane. I just don't think he is going to overpay players for average production is all I am saying. We shall see. It is still very likely that Wood's replacement isn't as good, but that doesn't mean that Wood is this great player. He was good. Edited April 11, 2018 by MrEpsYtown

Comebackkid Posted April 11, 2018 Posted April 11, 2018 At this point, I wondering how long the line to the edge is, I mean I might want to jump here soon but not if I have to wait in line forever.

But i admit i have had moment during his career i wish the Bills had upgraded and moved him back to guard lol. I even wished for Groy to remain. Never want to disparage a player like Eric Wood in any way though. A Buffalo Bill through and through. Thats all i have to say about that. ps lol We are abouts screwed with out the Vets Woods and Cogs and Cordy. I mean that very sincerely

I think it makes sense to keep a hard line in negotiations. It's not all cumbaya, but I'm sick of overpaying out hometown average players who we think are so great. Hopefully the Chris Kelsays and Eric Woods of the world are officially gone. It is a business first and they are only going to keep guys who fit and they don't seem willing to overpay. I don't think it is a bad thing but you do have to live on a fine line. Oh - - Chris Kelsay! Please never that happen again!!!!!!!! 1

Ol Dirty B Posted April 11, 2018 Posted April 11, 2018 I wouldn't judge any coach, or front office personnel off of what Incognito does. He played good for a couple years, but he's never been a pillar of stability and rational judgment.

We will see if we can move you ahead of the line. A Mimilayan Shaman once told me after a vision quest. Do not judge till after the Draft. Mumbled something about OTAs and preseason.
formerlyofCtown Posted April 11, 2018 Posted April 11, 2018 (edited) After we snuck into the playoffs we thought the football Gods smiled on us finally, but in reality it looks like they found a clever way to **** on us without us realizing it. They gave us a bouquet of roses and used Poison Oak for garnish. Edited April 11, 2018 by formerlyofCtown
