Bandwagon A-Train fans

[The Answer]

Please allow The Answer to refresh your memories - Maybe you should let Marv Levy know that this is the same player that turned the Bills to sign with the Cowboys before the 2005 season - or did we conveniently forget about this fact?

This same mediorce player that was later cut by Cowboys after 5 games during the 2005 season.

This same mediorce player that has a grand total of 4 TD's in the last 3 seasons.

This same mediorce player is only here because of the Jauron connection and because no other team wanted him. But please - don't let these facts damper your A-Train lovefest.

One starred and negged.

[camelcowboy]

I thought nothing about Thomas till i saw him play. He's a band aid, but i like him, he works hard, and he can get the job done behind our line hopefully. He's not the answer "thats ironic" but he's better then shaud. I want to see what rookie they bring in to platoon with him.

[patmoran2006]

HE's a good backup. Nothing more and nothing less.

anyone who gets excited about this resigning has some serious team expectation problems.

I'm glad he's back, but he does nothing to make this team better than it was last year.. nothing

~The AnswerWhat about the same A-Train that filled in pretty good for us when the best back in the NFL was injured?

[clumping platelets]

He's not meant to be the starter...........he's going to be our #2 RB

Great re-signing :up:

That's just it - with news the front office is enamored with NFLE standout Fred Jackson, combined with the resigning of Atrain and Suck Williams - it all adds up to mediocrity.

Rest assurred that this team will do something stupid next month with the 1st round pick and completely disregard the RB situation.

~The Answer

They have enough needs that at twelve the only way they can screw that pick up is if they draft a punter, Kicker, or safety. All other positions on this team are fair game. Its not like there is one glaring need, they have many.

[clumping platelets]

Bills can find a RB in later rds

Thurman Thomas was drafted in the 2nd round

~The Answer
He was cut by the Cowboys because:
1. He never got a chance.
2. Barber/Jones are fan favorites

[Philagape]

The Answer's knowledge of the A-Train was exposed as a fraud when he said something to the effect of he wasn't useful as a receiver, a claim subsequently disproved. The Answer was wrong. Philagape suspects that isn't the first or last time.

~The Answer
Why don't you give Marv and his staff a chance for once, instead of continually making negative - and baseless - predictions of doom?

[Saratoga Slim]

i'll share your pessimism if we go into the season with A-Train as our clear cut starter. But that's not going to happen. He's the back up, or a rotational back.

[streetkings01]

Was the best back in the NFL comment sarcasim?You figure it out!

[The Answer]

This team is walking a very fine line between being in complete rebuilding mode and contending for a wildcard spot (at best).

As of right now The Answer is inclined to go with the former - just don't see this team having a chance to compete with the Pats and Jets given the offseason we've had thus far - scary thing is this keeps up and we'll be in the dolphins rear view mirror.

A-TRAIN IS NOT THE ANSWER!

~The Answer

[Saratoga Slim]

And frankly I'd rather have A-Train than Rhodes, Dillon, Brown or any of the other retreads available in FA. At least the guy knows the offense already and wants to be here. And he has the starting QB's trust apparently.

Let's face it, absent a lucky trade like the Jets pulled off for Thomas Jones or keeping McGahee, this is about the best move we could have made for the RB depth chart this offseason (pre-draft).

[The Answer]

Why don't you give Marv and his staff a chance for once, instead of continually making negative - and baseless - predictions of doom?

Did you not read The Answer's original post? Marv and the front office signed this clown because nobody else wanted him.

A-Train blatantly turned this team down a year earlier to sign with the Cowboys. The Answer don't need mediorce retreads like this on his team!

~The Answer

With the Jets and Pats in the division i still see us a two years away from contention. I like the direction we are going, just going to need a little patience a solid draft will help but it won't help us keep up with the jones.

Don't be so sure with this front office - reality just hit Big Ralph in the face. He spent way too much money this offseason and now has to make up for it by signing outcasts like the A-Train to start at crucial positions.

~The Answer

[Statman]

HE's a good backup. Nothing more and nothing less.

anyone who gets excited about this resigning has some serious team expectation problems.

I'm glad he's back, but he does nothing to make this team better than it was last year.. nothing
Then that's all that McGahee was, a good backup. The two are just about interchangeable.

At this rate we won't be contending again until early next decade - Pats are still going to be running strong as long as Brady/Belechik are in the fold.

Mangini is a bright young head coach that has the Jets going in the right direction as well.

If Cam Cameron cleans up the Dolphins and drafts a franchise QB than look out in 2008

Bottom line - The futility in western new york continues.....

I really don't think that the Bills signed A-Train simply because no other team wanted him.

There is always a long list of Backs that nobody wants.

The Bills signed him because he can and will help them.

It was fortuitous that he was available.

He wasn't exactly in demand after 2005 when the Cowboys cut him after 5 games, then the post katrina nomad saints picked him up for spot duty the rest of the season.

The Answer can only offer his exterpise and commentary regarding the state of this franchise, but he can't control the rampant homerism on this board - it's up to you, the blue collar joe blow posters on this board, to voice your disdain and frustration as well.

Tom Donablow destroyed this franchise with shoddy move after shoddy move - wheter via FA or the draft - Don't get me wrong, The Answer is not a Marv Levy hater, but if this team isn't in the playoffs in 2007 or 2008 than clearly he has failed - and so far this offseason has been confounding to say the least.

~The Answer

[camelcowboy]

so me voicing my distain is going to make us better then the patriots, and the Jets? I think the fans not attending 4 home games should have been a wake up call to this franchise. Levy's building through the draft, its going to take longer then signing every freeagent. No matter how much you voice your opinon rebuilding won't speed up.

Actions speak louder than words - and that type of statement is precisely what The Answer was looking for from frustrated Bills fans - on the surface it looks like the fatcats at OBD got the message but then again they did squander valuable funds resigning the likes of Atrain and Denney.

[BillsNick]

Anyone who talks or writes in the third person is a DB.

[TigerJ]

One thing is for sure. When the question is: How do you spell "mediocre" you'll not find the answer by consulting The Answer.

As far as A-train is concerned, I am under not illusion that he is the second coming of Jim Brown. Nor do I expect that the Bills will make no more moves with respect to the running back position. The next move is probably in the draft. However, if the line has been upgraded, and Derrick Dockery is a huge upgrade even if nothing else pans out, A-train should be able to be a productive back.

[Mr. Pink]

Anyone who talks or writes in the third person is a DB.


FunTimesYaY is willing to take a veteran minimum contract to play DB for the Bills this year!

[Mad Bomber]

At this rate we won't be contending again until early next decade - Pats are still going to be running strong as long as Brady/Belechik are in the fold.

Please allow The Answer to refresh your memories - Maybe you should let Marv Levy know that this is the same player that turned the Bills to sign with the Cowboys before the 2005 season - or did we conveniently forget about this fact?
