VABills Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 Let the Rhodes sucks anyways, and noway he would have been good here anyhow fest begin.
In space no one can hear Posted March 9, 2007 Author Posted March 9, 2007 Link!! Thanks for the link....sometimes information is closer than one realizes!
Chicken Wing '73 Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 The great one two punch of Rhodes and Jordan. Two former back ups who never will live up to starter money no matter how much you pay them. They really need JaMarcus Russell now. I am happy that they signed him so the Bills did not.
the_franchise Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 another running back with a bad attitude... didnt really like the idea of Rhodes here anyways... good luck in oakland though oh yeah, i wouldnt want a player on our team that gets DUI's
BillsVet Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 Everyone knows Rhodes was a back that shared the load. That's fine, but his deal with Oakland was about 7.5M for 2 years. Now, if we didn't like Rhodes because he was, well, Dominic Rhodes that's fine. But if it's about the money and we can't cough up that sort of money for a RB, then we've got a problem. It takes a lot for a guy to decide to go to Oakland at this juncture. What would it have taken for Buffalo to sign Rhodes? At this point the options at RB are getting smaller. Even if you re-sign Anthony Thomas, I guarantee we go RB in the first or second round. And if we do, then now you've got a rookie and Anthony Thomas sharing the load. I'm fine with that, as long as the back sharing the load is Lynch or Peterson. Lynch has some personal baggage, but we've used the first round pick to fill a hole we created. Those are the two guys ready to go now. The others have some issues. The bottom line to me is Buffalo continues building for the future. The line is good on paper. But, there are many positions left to fill and depth to have in case of injury. RB wasn't supposed to be a problem in the off-season, and it's become one.
Dan Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 Of the guys that have visited thus far, I liked Rhodes best - oh well. Chris Brown perhaps next, although I can't say I've seen him play much.

While there is a big hole to fill the Willis departure was very predictable. The Bills obviously did not like the guy and did not want to retain him. You have to believe they have a plan.
inkman Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 Chris Brown perhaps next, although I can't say I've seen him play much. Tha's because he doesn't play much.
GG Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 Let the Rhodes sucks anyways, and noway he would have been good here anyhow fest begin. Too bad. We could have used a starting RB of his caliber.

You have to believe they have a plan. Custer had a plan too. Gosh getting rid of McGahee is looking better all the time

They really need JaMarcus Russell now. I am happy that they signed him so the Bills did not. I agree totally Too bad. We could have used a starting RB of his caliber. I guess Itd be good to have a guy of that caliber if Shaud Williams were actually Plan A right now but hes clearly not. Rhodes is average, every year 6-10 backs come out of the draft on that talent-level. Chris brown is a better runner than rhodes, if only he had some toughness.
Nanker Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 Custer had a plan too.Gosh getting rid of McGahee is looking better all the time But not as good as your avatar getting rid of her top!
