truth on hold Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 lets run through AFC teams and see where it makes obvious sense to trade him for their starting RB: pats: NO = dillon is too old and maroney has shown he can be stopped too many times for me to believe he's a true #1 jets: NO miami: maybe = ronnie brown is capable but he has shown some injury proneness and he was much better when he was spelled often by ricky williams in 05 season jags: NO = taylor too old and not versatile colts: = maybe, addai, but he's on the small side and plays in a system with a lot of talent that makes it easy to rack up yards titans: NO = i dont want travis back. same problems of being too small and not fast enough to break big plays and catch passes. sure he played well against us with revenge on his mind but he doesnt play that well week in and week out steelers: maybe browns: NO, droughns ravens: NO, they can keep that lump lewis chiefs: maybe, call me crazy for saying maybe but the 2 nationally televised games i saw LJ play - chargers regular season and colts post season - he completely laid eggs. right now i think hes one of the most over hyped players in the league bronco: NO, bell does nothing for me especially in a broncos system that makes RBs look better than they really are (eg portis) chargers: YES, LT for sure, no brainer raiders: NO to jordan or fargas, wprst offense ive ever seen in the NFL bengals: NO, for comments on Rudy see chiefs above texans: ummmm, NO, they can keep ron dayne, i think he's gotten a bad rap but i still like willis a lot more so there you go, only a single YES to the leagues MVP, 4 Maybes and the rest NOs. you can change things at the margin here or there, maybe some will argue for a few more YES's or Maybe's but i cant see any legitimate analysis where the majority arent NOs. so all you willis haters should stop acting like a. he's so bad and b. there's some great pool of backs out there. like it or not he is one of the players bills can least afford to lose. thankfully coach jauron knows this and has things in perspective by not getting all worked up over the comments of a 25 year old kid to stupid old penthouse (circulaion 10 copies) or indiscredtion with loose women. like that other stuff really matters on sunday.

Stl Bills Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 lets run through AFC teams and see where it makes obvious sense to trade him for their starting RB: pats: NO = dillon is too old and maroney has shown he can be stopped too many times for me to believe he's a true #1 jets: NO miami: maybe = ronnie brown is capable but he has shown some injury proneness and he was much better when he was spelled often by ricky williams in 05 season jags: NO = taylor too old and not versatile colts: = maybe, addai, but he's on the small side and plays in a system with a lot of talent that makes it easy to rack up yards titans: NO = i dont want travis back. same problems of being too small and not fast enough to break big plays and catch passes. sure he played well against us with revenge on his mind but he doesnt play that well week in and week out steelers: maybe ravens: NO, they can keep that lump lewis chiefs: maybe, call me crazy for saying maybe but the 2 nationally televised games i saw LJ play - chargers regular season and colts post season - he completely laid eggs. right now i think hes one of the most over hyped players in the league bronco: NO, bell does nothing for me especially in a broncos system that makes RBs look better than they really are (eg portis) chargers: YES, LT for sure, no brainer raiders: NO to jordan or fargas, wprst offense ive ever seen in the NFL bengals: NO, for comments on Rudy see chiefs above texans: ummmm, NO, they can keep ron dayne, i think he's gotten a bad rap but i still like willis a lot more so there you go, only a single YES to the leagues MVP, 4 Maybes and the rest NOs. you can change things at the margin here or there, maybe some will argue for a few more YES's or Maybe's but i cant see any legitimate analysis where the majority arent NOs. so all you willis haters should stop acting like a. he's so bad and b. there's some great pool of backs out there. like it or not he is one of the players bills can least afford to lose. thankfully coach jauron knows this and has things in perspective by not getting all worked up over the comments of a 25 year old kid to stupid old penthouse (circulaion 10 copies) or indiscredtion with loose women. like that other stuff really matters on sunday. You really wouldn't trade McGahee for LJ? You're an idiot. The only reason these trades don't make any sense is because no body would be dumb enough to trade most of the backs listed for WM. I saw more out of Maroney in 1 quarter of football than I have in WM this year. Only backs I wouldn't trade him for that you listed are.......Dayne, Bell, J. Lewis, L.

nobody Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I'll respond (luckily no one cares what I say so it's still like no one is responding ) If Willis is traded; it will be to a team that needs a RB. The Bills will not be getting a RB back in return for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevie Ray Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Why trade a running back with mileage for another with mileage? Only for draft picks does it make sense (and for LT which is a fantasy). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Trooth Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 so all you willis haters should stop acting like a. he's so bad and b. there's some great pool of backs out there. like it or not he is one of the players bills can least afford to lose. thankfully coach jauron knows this and has things in perspective by not getting all worked up over the comments of a 25 year old kid to stupid old penthouse (circulaion 10 copies) or indiscredtion with loose women. like that other stuff really matters on sunday. Son, grow up... and get over yourself. Just because 99% of real Bills fans think Willis sucks, is a bum, and ought to hit the bricks doesn' mean he's hated. It just means adios! Willis had 3 years to prove himself. By NFL standards and how RBs are measured, he is below average and in the league's bottom third. The Bills ranked 30th in offense this season, yet Evans and Losman had very good seasons by NFL standards. Oh yeah... now you're going to blame the Oline for Willis' lack of production... how pathetic. When is Willis accountable for Willis? Willis has no game. He doesn't even avg. 4.0 YPC. He has no elusiveness. He has no more speed than an average back. He's a not just a non-factor in the passing game, he's a total liability... from missing blitz pickups, recognizing defenses, and receiving passes. This offense cannot get any better than it is until Willis is gone. If you don't recognize that, then you're either totally blind or you paid way too much for your WM jersey and won't admit it. This team needs a back that can do everything that Willis can't... and that's a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
