Kelly the Dog Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 2. Smith was cut before the 2001 season (and before the draft if memory serves correctly). 5. Looking at Bledsoe's numbers that year, and therefore the stats our WRs compiled, the only other option at offensive MVP was Mooreman If he's sucha great poker player, why isn't he in the WSOP 383667[/snapback] Smith was cut in May, after the mini-camps, partially or perhaps mostly because Travis was drafted in the second round and was surely going to make the team over Smith. We had a lousy season in 2003, especially on the offense. Travis was the lone bright spot. Moulds was injured and couldn't play. Bledsoe was battered and played terribly. Travis was injured and battered and still played and played very well. You're going to denigrate his accomplishments because other players sucked when he was the only one to step up?
jarthur31 Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 Chronology of events: 1. Bills need a OL. Everyone yells for kenyatta walker. TD disappoints everyone, trades down in the first for Nate Clements and a second. Deals again and turns that second into Travis Henry. Read: Travis is free. Walker becomes a bust and Clements becomes a star. 2. Year one: Travis plays well, beats out Antawain Smith, Shawn Bryson, and Sammy Morris due to talent and/or injury. 3. Year two: Travis starts and plays very well. Rushes for 1400 yards. Bills look to have an emerging star at RB but he has limitations. 4. TD surprises everyone and drafts Willis McGahee #1 even though he has a RB and WM is injured. Says we didn't have anyone on the board worth #1 money and McGahee is a special talent. 5. Year three: McGahee is still recovering and cannot play. Travis gains 1300 yards and double digit TDs for the second year in a row and is named the teams offensive MVP. Meanwhile, sometime in year three, on TH's request, TD renegotiates Travis's deal and signs him for an extra year on the (very) cheap. 6. Year four: McGahee is just about back. Travis starts and flops. McGahee steps in, finally healthy, and a star is born. Travis is relegated to the bench and his worth to the Bills is basically used up as he pouts. 7. TD wants to trade Travis and get the most for him, what the Bills feel he is worth. No one makes an offer. TD waits until one is made. TD takes the #3 pick just before training camp starts. Snapshot of the chronology: TD gets Travis for free, gets three years of good production out of him. Has his successor (a clearly better player) emerging as a star. Trades Travis for #3 pick. I'd say that is pretty good poker playing. 383593[/snapback] Your sense of logic and rationale has no place on this board. Please find another one that does.
