sfladave Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 I'd take a 1st round pick for WM. He wants to go to Miami? Arizona is close to Miami. Let's get their 1st round pick for him. I am in favor of anyone being traded for draft picks at this point except Losman. Let Arizona deal with Rosenhaus and WM's imminent holdout for more money. I could have ran for 3 yards yesterday. 529818[/snapback] Why do so many people think Willis is going to be a hold out? Drew Rosenhaus is a pain in the ass negotiator, but he has always been a proponent of having his players in camp. As for this "rumor", who gives a crap! Willis is signed with the Bills and unless management wants to trade him he will not be going anywhere. Hopefully we will have a new front office next year that is willing to commit to a serious running game, meaning a serious upgrade to the OL.

East Brady Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Thurman was one of the best pass blocking RBs in the NFL period. Very few even compare to him. A better and more recent comparison would be TH who was famous for his look out blocks. The point I was making was that a guy who did not care would not risk getting injured. 529670[/snapback] Sometimes he would even catch a pass after laying a block and then pick up a first down single handed....willis have fun when the new gm packages your ass with that top 5 pick in exchange for the mother load of picks...

Peter Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 actually the reason they lost was because of a horrible pass interference call in ot (miami should have won). . . . . for the record, i want him to be on the bills, be happy to be in buffalo, and help make them into a winner. 529844[/snapback] I knew we could agree on some things.

tennesseeboy Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 oh...and given his performance this week, what do you think anyone would bid for him? Assuming that is anyone would really want him? The guy has NOT established himself as a premier running back anywhere but between his own ears.

Ray Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 You could probably put Lionel Gates behind a good OL and get the same production. Having a great OL makes a lot of backs look good. All the U Miami guys want to play in Florida--they don't like cold weather. I think they should get over it but some of them can't/don't. That is really something the management has to take into consideration when drafting. But maybe Willis will get traded to Chicago, Green Bay, Detroit, Minnesota, Cleveland, either NY team, New England, Cinci, Phila, or Pittsburgh. Or maybe he'll realize over half the teams in the NFL are cold weather teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramius Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 first of all, i have no problem with football players being asses, being that about 85% of them are. that said, if you can't see that the guy is a pr*ick, then, well, you're not looking very hard. thurman was a pr*ck too, but he was better than mcgahee and appeared to want to play in buffalo. he also didn't issue forth la di da responses after bills losses and seemed to hav e a vocabulary that was larger than 250 words (and i'm being charitable in giving mcgahee that much credit). 529680[/snapback] IIRC, thurman wasnt exactly a walking Websters Dictionary...comparing thurman's and willis's vocabularies is like arguing whos asscrack smells better...

Poeticlaw Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Thank you ! A voice of reason among ass clowns. 529672[/snapback] The points you made are good but we are all eluding from the major reason Mcgahee wants to goto Florida. His Knee. If anyone even rembers when he was drafted and his first year in the leaugue, they said the last place someone with an injury of his magnitude would want to go is Buffalo something abut how the cold weather effects the injured knee. That while he is in a consitant warmer enronment it will have a chance at maintaing a longer career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 actually the reason they lost was because of a horrible pass interference call in ot (miami should have won). I think you're forgetting about the blown officiating call that even got the game into overtime. It was an even more egregious mistake than the OT call and without it OSU would have been able to easily run out the clock in regulation. The team that should have won did win. And no, I'm not an Ohio State fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
