Sal is the only smart / reasonable individual on WGR but people on this site will slight him as he's "paid for".

All of those wrs are better than any wide receivers we have. Bills fans and media people love running people out of here and talking ****. How many cbs lbs wrs rbs !@#$ even qbs have we run out of town and then looking in hindsight were like o yea they were at least avg or even good starters. 

 

The problem is the high degree of negativity and hubris among Bills fans.  The same fans who are pining for Goodwin or Chris Hogan are the same ones who wanted them off the team when they were free agents

Exactly most bills fans just love to yell and scream. Just keep crying in your beer guys. For once though this org is doing the right thing by clearing us of all the past mistakes. Whaley screwed us by maxing out on a 8-8 or 9-7 ceiling while relying on a lot of vets and giving out some big contracts.

 

I love some of the former players that were good and left over the years but this org needed to tear it down and build with a window that can stretch out far into the future.

Sorry but I agree with sal on this one. Nobody here wanted Goodwin at the end of his contract. Woods is another story, but Goodwin was hurt alot and was not a difference maker here

Most are ready to move on from Woods.  Not one person faulted Whaley (who was GM at the time) for moving on.  The majority of the fan base felt that he wasn’t worth the contract he was given.

Same thing with Hogan....Dareus....Cyrus...Seantrel just to name a few. No on cared about these guys when they left.

 

A big part of the fan base was living Sammy was traded.  I’ll give you that

I agree some were ready to dump woods, but there were fans who wanted to keep him alot more than they wanted Goodwin.

If there was, it was a very small part of the fan base.  Lost considered Woods to be a decent #2, but a guy who consistently wasn’t enough of a difference maker to warrant the contract he got.

Turns out he was.  Especially for a team with a ton of cap space.

We too often fail to remember the human side of the equation.  Rumorwas Woods wanted to get back to Cali big time.  Money talks but it's not the sole determining factor

 

The Rams are interesting.  They have a year or two and then they'll get killed on the cap and have to blow things up.

Woods was criminally underrated as a WR here.  Lots of that had to do with the QB.  

 

I'm glad he got a good deal in LA and I'm glad he lived up to the price tag.  It sucks we couldn't be the team who benefited.

That must be a terrible problem to have to face...

The only WR that I was upset they didn't keep was Robert Woods. But he got paid big to go back to the West Coast. 

Agreed.  Woods was a process guy.  Great downfield blocker.  Played with passion.  It's a shame we couldn't hold onto him.  As of right now it's laughable to think Zay Jones is an adequate replacement.

Finally getting caught up on Sal’s Extra Point Show.  He said this year he has made a commitment to take as many callers as he can.  Wow was it interesting.  

 

Anyway even WGR is not immune to emotional romanticism.  One agitated callers was pining about the talent that left the team like Sammy, Woods, Hogan and Goodwin.  Sal thought it was ridiculous.  They when he brought up Goodwin specifically, Sal said.

 

”Are you kidding me.  Marquis Goodwin!?!?  Fans thought he was always injured and not very good.  If the GM resigns Goodwin, fans would have demanded his head the next day.  Marquis Goodwin, give me a break!”   

 

He later said their production has more to do with the QB, than the actual talent themselves and that it’s really  easy to look good when you have Tom Brady or Jimmy G.  throwing you the football. 

 

Prop to Sal for shitting down the emotional romanticism.  I think some of you romanticizers should follow his advice.   It was great and so spot on!!!!

 

its on the end of hour 1, if anyone is interested 

 

Did you just learn the word romanticism?

 

 

Cause it’s already getting old.

Maybe he was.  But im just saying at the time, Bills fans were indifferent about Woods.
