The Bills were not going to miss a beat at RB when they traded OJ because they drafted Terry Miller.

Well that was kind of true. Miller had 1000 yards as a rookie. Then had to wait a year for Cribbs.

Wrong josh.....I will gladly eat that pie.

 

Ed oliver-   He hasnt been a complete bust, however I thought he would be the next Aaron donald.

 

Cj spiller.....I thought he was a cant miss pick and had our future rb for years to come.   Was ok getting rid of lynch

[Mcg]

Josh allen would bust 

[FlaFitz1]

2010 - That a guy who had one good season in D1 after 2 OK seasons in JUCO, a 7th round pick with terrible route running skills, who after 2 seasons in Buffalo where he dressed for 16 games (only 5 in his second year) and recorded a whopping 12 catches for a 112 yards should be named the starter over former 2nd round pick and cut that season James Hardy.

When we traded up, I thought we were going for Khalil Mack, not Sammy Watkins.

I really thought we were drafting Bryant McKinnie at 4 overall, not Mike Williams.

I thought we were drafting Josh Rosen.  (Ultra wrong on that one)

“We finally have a tight end” after Shawn Nelson scored the first and only touchdown of his nfl career in the week 1 opener in 2009.

[Toomstone.Part.Duex]

I thought Mike Williams would be a dominant tackle for years.    

EJ was going to be a great QB for years.

I was a “wrong Josh” guy but within a couple of hours of the pick turned myself around on It. Easily my worst Bills take.

[BillsfaninSB]

Loved the Cody Ford pick.   Thought he would be a fixture on the line for years to come.

 

 

[Pirate Angel]

Josh Rosen over Allen

[Repulsif]

I thought Drew Bledsoe would lead us to a Superbowl victory

[BigBuff423]

I said I would own it back then, so here is as good a place as any:

 

I said that to save Draft capital, for the Bills to take Mason Rudolph in the 3rd Round because I thought with the players around him, he would good enough for the Bills to win playoff games. 

 

That said, I also believed he needed a year or two in the NFL and he was getting a little better until a concussion just ruined him. However, since he never (as of yet...what? there's still hope) lived up to my expectations and obviously Josh has, well ya know - been amazing since year 2 and outworked every other QB from that Draft - this is my bottomless pit take of a disaster. (humble bow and exit)

My worst take ever I've shared here many times.   It was that the Bills didn't need to worry about scouting or maybe even trading back into round 1 for Aaron Rodgers because they already had a good prospect to develop in JP Losman.    Didn't seem like a big take at the time, and Rodgers had plenty of doubters but my take on the matter was just lazy.  Rodgers is a top 10 all-time kinda' passer.   But I didn't spend any real time evaluating him and mostly just lumped him in as just another Jeff Tedford product.  

 

I don't have many bad takes because I don't weigh in on that many topics.   It's easy to make statements about everything you have a first impression about but I don't do that.   If I have a strong opinion on it........it's probably because I have seen things that make that point pretty definitive.

 

I've told @GunnerBill many times that if he wants to be right more he needs to adopt that philosophy and say a lot less about peripheral topics.........but he's about where I was as a fan in the late 90's where I was following everything in both college and pro football all the time.  Totally engaged in it.  I still follow it very closely and more than a lot of people who consider themselves experts......but definitely not the same.   Example being the salary cap.   I don't bother knowing everyone's cap figures for the next 3 years because I feel the cap is a lot more malleable now.    There are just topics that I have come to realize where the juice isn't worth the squeeze.       

Sorry, I can't let this post go without comment.

 

In 2009, the Bills (in a rather lackluster draft)  used the 10th pick in round 2 on safety Jairus Byrd, who had 9 interceptions in his rookie season. Most Bills Fans had him destined for Canton. I even thought that he (a safety)was a great pick! 😃😮 

 

One poster on the board felt otherwise and that was you. You went as far as to say that most of his interceptions were due to lucky tips or even being out of position.  Well, guess who was "right?" Byrd finished the rest of his career (7 years) with 16 more total interceptions. He wound up being a so-so player. 

 

Remember how thrilled the board was when we hired Jauron? I do and you correctly claimed that he was a disaster, this after a strong (or at least decent) couple of seasons with the Bears. You said before he got here that he would have the Bills "play not to lose." Yes, Jauron was unthinkably bad.

 

So you were wrong about JP? Big deal. You were on the money with countless other takes and predictions (often going fully against the grain) and I wish that you would list some of them as well. Oh and keep those predictions coming!!!👍

I thought that RJ was going to be a great QB. 

 

I also didn't care that much when we stupidly let Pat Williams walk. I figured it would be good for the cap. 😦

I thought Chris Gragg was the answer

[Another Fan]

Karlos Williiams was the truth 

[Juice_32]

I was sure Mansfield Wrotto would be a stud.

[Breakout Squad]

I thought if they re-signed Peerless Price to complement Lee Evans we’d make the playoffs. I even sent an e-mail to the team saying as much. I was a little naive 😂
