Lemmie start off with going back to the last days of Thurman and ramble on till now.
I was irrate when Fluite left Thurman for dead in week 1 on a floater pass that pretty much was the end of the Thurman era for all of us. But the light was U o' Houston rookie who shattered Lamar Smith's records etc. I was a huge Ant. Smith fan because of hope and next superstar RB. I thought Ant Smith was a tad shafted on his way out. I thought he was so so but with enough drive to be a decent yet not elite starter..
Enter Travis Henry! I loved him and was excited from early that season up until the day he was traded.. I own soo much Henry memrobilia. 2nd only to Moulds & Kelly. Travis coulda been our franchise back for years because of the effort he gave...The immediate to come to miund is him breaking a tackle just to get to the LOS, then another to get a 3 yard gain.. He was far from complete but had a aura that i enjoyed supporting. I think it's safe to say we liked Travis as a whole fanbase.. But that's not why a motive for anti #21.
Enter Mcgahee. Super story, with the whole come back & him having a huge 1st season for us. But then the attitude sets in. And the whole U/miami instead of OTA's is irrelevant since we all the know the "U" guys are loyal to that schools training.. i was drinking the Koo-aid after his 1st year esp with that bone crushing,,DB hurting STIFF-ARM but his next season killed me...He gave up and it was obvious to me & my family who have the problem of focusing on *** like that a lil closely imo :smile: But it was clear that with the vanishing stiff-arm,combined with his no juking,breakaway threat, that the dude is just arrogant & has no drive. He quit on us before mid-season. It just became obvious in the 2nd half that he just punched a clock for a paycheck.. But that/this would be a normal every team problem if not for the hype from Bills fans and the rest of the world that he's a blockbuster RB... I just want a RB who has balance.. Travis didn't have the talent so he made it up with effort. Willis has the talent but is lazy and it's clear to me that he's not a "Marv" player and he most likely will demand trade/hold-out, or just UFA outta here... I just don't get why So many great Bills fans think he is ever gonna lead us anywhere..His stats really sucked when his attempts are considered. It's not a coincidence. Since we all saw that 3 yards a carry is the dudes max until he learns to either give a **** or he stops being afraid to juke/cut again on those knees...
Don't you wan't more?
I hope he blows it up and i don't care that it's a contract year or not. The fact that him returning to effort would bolster our QB situation either Nall or JP. And Evans could benefit.. But besides that i look forward to a RB that will be easier to root for and buy his jersey to wear with pride and defend when the haters hate..
-Also, i get more Mcgahee living in south FL because he's always on am radio and doing interviews and the media constantly traps him in and he never misses a beat with arrogance...
Just my 2 cents on why i'm a McGahee hater, and why my hate isn't just random blind hate...
