udonkey Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 I hoped that I'd never have to say it...atleast you'll always be a Buckeye! Thanks for the memories...
JAMIEBUF12 Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 i really wish you would have spent your career as a bill.i hope you have a great rest of your career except when you play against us.
thebug Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 Yah it really sucks that we can't afford him...good luck to Nate but he had better hope he doesn't have to cover Lee in a future game! Go Bills!
ExWNYer Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 Yah it really sucks that we can't afford him...good luck to Nate but he had better hope he doesn't have to cover Lee in a future game! Go Bills! They can afford him...they're choosing to not spend the money it will take to re-sign him. Big diference. Buh-bye, Nate. Nick Harper, are you still up?
keepthefaith Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 I hoped that I'd never have to say it...atleast you'll always be a Buckeye! Thanks for the memories... Wait, not so fast!
DrDawkinstein Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 yeah, it bums me out when players like him leave like this. good luck nate, wish you could stay.
MartyBall4Buffalo Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 geez this thread is depressing he hasn't even signed anywhere yet chill out.
John from Riverside Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 He is gone.... I am consoling myself to the fact that he will probably bomb wherever he goes once he gets his fat contract
Kiwi Bills fan Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 What f'ing ever. I've been there for the Bills my entire life. If these kind of guys just want to play for the big bucks, well then f 'em. I learned my lesson way back when on a different deffensive back called Nate. Nate Odomes that is. Heck, he was one of my favorite players from the glory days, but decided to go to Seattle for bigger dough. Does anyone remember what happened to him after he left here? I could give a rats ass for Mr Nate Clements if he leaves. If he stays, thats another story. Its a cheeseball thing to say, but I root for the name (logo) on the front of the jersey not the name on the back. Its this kinda sheet that makes it harder and harder to be a fan of American sports.

Not a cheesy sentiment at all, IMO as well. I was a big Antoine Winfield fan, but not when he's a Viking. Now I'm stuck with ol' 26's jersey, which I never wear. So good luck to Nate Clements, but don't let the door hit you in the ass, eh? How are things going there, Kiwi? You picked a beautiful corner of the world.
Rayzer32 Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 He is gone.... I am consoling myself to the fact that he will probably bomb wherever he goes once he gets his fat contract My thoughts exactly. Once he gets that first fat check, his football brain is goin to shrink. He can be a dominant player if he wants to, but I think the $$ is going to affect his play in the future.
jarthur31 Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 They can afford him...they're choosing to not spend the money it will take to re-sign him. Big diference. Buh-bye, Nate. Nick Harper, are you still up? That's so sad. Now our defense will be even worse. McGee is now our #1!!! We may score more points this year but we won't keep leads for long. I don't think we win 5 games this year.
MartyBall4Buffalo Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 He is gone.... I am consoling myself to the fact that he will probably bomb wherever he goes once he gets his fat contract well whatever makes you feel better knowing we're losing a top 5 corner and having mcgee as our #1 corner
generaLee83 Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 well whatever makes you feel better knowing we're losing a top 5 corner and having mcgee as our #1 corner You are dead on with that one, it kind of befuddles me as to how people think that the Bills are going to improve this year with McGee playing in the 1 spot.
Bill from NYC Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 You are dead on with that one, it kind of befuddles me as to how people think that the Bills are going to improve this year with McGee playing in the 1 spot. Maybe because we will improve in other areas such as QB, LT, and perhaps even DE (with Kelsay and Denney being in their prime)? Or, is CB in a cover-2 more important?

Or, is CB in a cover-2 more important? No offense, because I think you're one of the better posters on here, but the offense would have to take one huge step up from the sh-- they've produced lately bottom half in every statistical catagory the past few seaso passing and rushing and points scored, redzone offense, plays over 40 yards I believe we were 31st in the catagory behind only oakland. As far as Kelsay and Denney go. They're a nice 1-2 rotational duo. However I'd expect a little bit more then 29 career sacks and 10 years worth of nfl experience between them to offset the loss of again someone who is arguably a top 5 corner. Ryan Denney will be 30 in June expecting him to improve much beyond what he's produced thus far is questionable. I think the biggest asset denney gives is his size. Kelsay meanwhile has improved every season so far, but no one will mistake him for any of the pass rushers of other cover 2 teams, and as much as you and some of the other posters may like the trio the only legit pass rushing threat remains schobel. No one fears kelsay/denney the way they probably do robert mathis, or alex brown/mark anderson. Adding a legit pass rusher should definitely not be overlooked just because we re-signed kelsay, and neither should it be over looked the talent we're losing in Nate.

Not at all. The Bills entered the season with a sub-par Gandy at LT. JP was something of a mess coming into the year as well. All of a sudden, JP matured, Peters was at LT and Evavns was catching bombs. All of these three are young kids who should only get better. I am NOT saying that there isn't a long way to go, but those 3 are potential stars. If we devote early resources to blocking and shore up the middle, the team really should get better. If not, it will be another sad, frustrating season.
