I wouldn't write Youboty off quite yet. The kid came out as a junior and in the beginning of the year lost his mother. That would be a 21 year old kid that lost his mother. Youboty can be a very talented player. Then again, It doesn't suprise me that Bills fans would think a player stinks after his rookie year and/or would want to get rid of him.

Damn... I never knew that about the kid.. Im 21 myself... Im glad I found out his Mother had passed away, well im not Glad... But you know what I mean, I can actually pull for this guy... Stuff like that only makes you stronger in life. Look at C.Martin, W.Dunn... Stuff like that, makes you a stronger person... And if playing Football is what you do, It will make you a stronger Athlete.

In today's era of NFL free agency you cannot afford to give players three and four seasons to develop. You need to get something out of them fairly soon.

Teams that cannot and don't do that merely serve as training grounds for their competitors.

The idea is to bring a team together within a season or two for a decent run at a Super Bowl shot. The planning horizon in the NFL has shortened considerably over the last decade.

One season is not a barometer for a players abilities by any means. People are far too impatient with players and coaches in today's NFL.

[Philagape]

I'll be more patient with him if Nate stays next year, but if not, Youboty needs to grow up FAST.

[Bmax]

Youboty is also the oldest sibling so a lot of the responsilbility fell on his shoulders.

His younger brother plays for the ecc football team.http://www.ecc.edu/athletics/footballroster.asp

The kid will be alright I sure the bills will resign thomas for insurance at the cb spot and maybe another vet to give us some time .. Hey if Whittner and simpson can start as rookies than youboty can come ready to play next year....

If this works out we will have drafted 3 starters in the secondary with the 2006 draft

What a draft this this will turn out to be...
