bartshan-83 Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 I'd think he'd mean pre 2004 wouldn't you? McGahee, (Bledsoe), Williams, Clements, Flowers, Winfield, (RJ), Smith. I don't advocate using this as a reason to get Turner(silly idea if you ask me), but compare 1997-2003 to most teams & you'll see one of the true reasons why we have languished as a team for so long. Compare to Colts.....Clark, Freeney, Wayne, Morris, Edge, Manning, Glenn. You could be right...I guess I interpreted it differently. He said "past couple of years" so I was going back 5-6 tops. Also, I felt that his main point was that we have had little success when we use our 1st rounders on draft picks (as opposed to trading...hence advocating Michael Turner) so I didn't include Bledsoe. Lastly, yeah I think Polian and few other GMs have kicked our ass, but I would match our record with most clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dibs Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 .......but I would match our record with most clubs. On second thoughts(& a quick look) you're probably right.....not that we've drafted better than most(we certainly haven't) but most seem to be within the same range of hit/miss to us. It's only the teams that consistently hit that have been able to perform consistently above the average.....& the average is a LOT of teams. Obviously I am still looking pre 2004.....post 2004 we have been exceedingly above average(fingers crossed those young players....JPL, Evans, Whitner keep on improving). Another 'hit' in the 1st round this year & it bodes very well for the future of the Bills.......or am I just being a wide-eyed optimist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartshan-83 Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 or am I just being a wide-eyed optimist? Well we can't have that....wouldn't want any of us to......enjoy.....being a Bills fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
