Re: Stienbach could be available!

Re: Stienbach could be available!

Im sick of hearing how we are not going to pay. You in OBD offices to know something we dont? If its someone MArv wants we will pay. We wanted Spikes and we went and paid. We just wont overpay for someone that OBD thinks isnt worth the money. It sucks we fans cant get everyone WE want. Thank god the offices of OBD dont pay for players because the fans want it then we would be in real trouble.

Re: Stienbach could be available!

nah im just resigned to the fact that this organization will go the CHEAP way and if we have a good draft and some players come around THEN we may contend..

but it aint going to be by going out and buying key peices like say a Steinbach, or a Cato June or ANYBODY like that.

Great point! Drew Bledsoe, Takeo Spikes, Lawyer Malloy, Fletcher Baker.... if we just keep buying that talent we ought to make the playoffs pretty soon.

Justin Smith is NOT an $8.6 million player. The Bengals are such idiots.

He may not be worth that to the rest of the league but to the Bengals he is considering all the talent they already lost on D. Thurman, Pollack, James, Adams (old now), Simmons (old also)---- so to the Bengals hes worth a lot at this point.

Good point. But when I look at how the Bengals are run, I'm glad we have the likes of Marv Levy and Dick Jauron. While their guys are getting arrested and the team itself is making questionable decisions, the Bills seem to be on the right course.

It would help if we had Carson Palmer, though. He's elite, while Losman's good right now.

So because Donahoe tried to buy players and didnt get the team over the hump because he NEVER spent a good penny on a real OL in FA.. that means that Marv should'nt be given the financial means to go out and use his talent evaluation abilities to buy some key players for a playoff run?

last I checked we were $33 million under the cap and we're not going to resign fletcher or clements.. there is NO excuse to not go out and spend some money on quality players

Re: Stienbach could be available!

Not being worth the money they may be looking for is a pretty good excuse to me.

I said it before, and I'll say it again, and I'll keep saying it...If Marv says "Pony up, Ralph" Mr. Wilson will say "How high?".

I'm sorry, that is just ridiculous - how do you know this?

At least for me, I'm willing to give these guys the benefit of the doubt, especially Marv - I don't think at 82 or whatever that he just came here to enforce the status quo - but obviously you have psychic powers as to the front office's intentions.
