crazyDingo Posted December 23, 2005 Posted December 23, 2005 ...To rebuild the Bills roster by drafting or bringing-in free agents that have played football their whole careers REGIONALLY! Why doesnt anyone do that? Doesnt it make sense to look for players that have grown up in climates similar to the one's they'll, you know, PLAY in? You would be able to choose from lots of East Coast, Northeast, Midwest schools and pro teams whose players aren't, like, afraid of snow or maybe have played in it before. Guys who grow up in snow are tough, they come from rough pedigee; hell, they ENJOY it. (see: Jim Kelly) Am I a genius? Am I a madman? YES! Screw "the U", let's get us some tough Pennsylvania Offensive Linemen.
drnykterstein Posted December 23, 2005 Posted December 23, 2005 Haven't we had this discussion already? Jim Kelly, OJ Simson... both came from warm weather. You would suck at GM.
LabattBlue Posted December 23, 2005 Posted December 23, 2005 So you want to eliminate signing players who grew up in the Southeast and Southwest where they hone their skills by playing football year round? YOU'RE FIRED!!!!
PromoTheRobot Posted December 23, 2005 Posted December 23, 2005 Vote me GM and I promise to make all of my decisions based on Stadium Wall polls!!! A can't-miss formula!! PTR
Mile High Posted December 23, 2005 Posted December 23, 2005 Haven't we had this discussion already? Jim Kelly, OJ Simson... both came from warm weather. You would suck at GM. 540959[/snapback] Kelly is from Penn...
meazza Posted December 23, 2005 Posted December 23, 2005 Aren't a lot of top draft picks from Florida and Texas?
Chalkie Gerzowski Posted December 23, 2005 Posted December 23, 2005 I like the idea.....just recruit from the blue collar crusty bastages cities and states. Pennsylmania, Ohio, Michigan, Jersey. West Virginny. Go to the old mill towns.....tell Ditka you want him to scout the Pittsburgh area. Just find a bunch of Polzlusnyski's and O'Briens and Gugliottas.....lol YOU PAY OK I GIVE OUT BIG HURT TIME!!!!!!
drnykterstein Posted December 23, 2005 Posted December 23, 2005 Kelly is from Penn... 541021[/snapback] maybe it was Brett Favre... I don't keep track of these details. Kelly did attend Miami though, didn't he?
MartyBall4Buffalo Posted December 23, 2005 Posted December 23, 2005 maybe it was Brett Favre... I don't keep track of these details. Kelly did attend Miami though, didn't he? 541045[/snapback] yes Jim Kelly went to The U, but he's from pittsburgh, pa
