BeastMode54 Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 how is it exactly that we know he didn't want to play here? and how do we know we offered a 3rd round pick? This is all speculation. It's possible we offered just a 4th, etc.
drnykterstein Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Also Tony G. may you never be on a playoff team for the rest of your @ucking career. The bills are 4-1 with a very good chance to win the AFC East but that wasn't good enough! lol, I doubt that was true. NFLN just likes to hate on the bills
flyingant Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 He probably didn't want to come to Buffalo because of all those emails he got from Bills fans. He probably thought we were stalking him.
JStranger76 Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 If ya wanna point the finger you probably have to look no farther than his smokin hot wife. "Oh honey, don't make me go to Buffalo"........... Sad, but probably what happened.
Coach Tuesday Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Attempting and being successful are two different things. If you honestly don't see that the Bills have "attempted" to find and draft a TE, then you should take a look at our recent drafts. Just because we weren't successful in finding one doesn't mean we didn't look. I don't consider those draft picks (Everett, Schouman, Fine) "attempts" to squarely address a key need. Those were all developmental, second-tier prospects when and where we drafted them. Go after a blue chip tight end prospect or free agent and I'll be satisfied.
lets_go_bills Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 We'll probably never know the truth. But if it's true that he didn't want to play for Buffalo, then f**k him. A 3rd was a fair trade and a great offer. Too bad. It's over now, let's move on. I don't care anymore.
JStranger76 Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Yeah, the Everitt, Schouman, and Fine picks were courtesy picks. Just so they could say they picked a TE while we barely can maintain our sanity. Bastards!!!!!!!!
monkey3 Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Your easy bake pizza still sucks too tony War the bills drinking TG's Blood and eating his babies mike tyson mike tyson style
devldog131 Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 From what I heard via a text message alert, the Bills offered a 3rd AND a 6th. I wouldn't be surprised if TG nixed the deal, he was hell-bent on ending up in Philly or NJ(Giants).

Just so they could say they picked a TE while we barely can maintain our sanity. Bastards!!!!!!!! Call it what you want, but they certainly weren't homerun picks. The Cowboys drafted Bennett in the second round when they already had Witten. The Chiefs took Cottam in the third when they already had Gonzo. The Browns took Rucker; they have Winslow. The Jets spent a 1st on Keller with Baker on the roster and money committed to him. Other organizations realize that quality, athletic playmaking tight ends are the key to busting a cover-2 defense, yet the Bills stick with Robert Royal (whom Pro Football Prospectus 2008 graded as one of the worst starting position players in the entire League).

Those were all developmental, second-tier prospects when and where we drafted them. Go after a blue chip tight end prospect or free agent and I'll be satisfied. I'd rather have Whitner, Stroud, Marshawn, Trent, Poz, Leodis, Hardy, Dockery, Walker and Kawika Mitchell before I'd have gone after a TE. The Bills agreed.

Everett was not a "developmental, second-tier prospect." He was highly touted out of the U. That he did not work out is the product of many forces, but one of them is not FO inattention to the TE position. If you want to stay on your crusade, go ahead, but don't pretend to know what you are talking about.

He was an athlete from Miami who didn't make nearly as many plays as he should have given his skill set. He was widely recognized as a developmental "project."

Are you really wishing that the Bills followed the footsteps of other organizations with a combined record of 10-12 so far?
Spun Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 TG retire in the city that loves you. A trade for how many more games? Bills sniffed but in the end stayed smart.
