Here or Gone: Ryan Neufeld

[G. Host]

I will post a public poll a day whether a player will be on Bills' roster game 1 of the 2008 season. All polls will end on March 1 which should be before free agency starts. If any player retires before March 1 then the player will be removed from statistics. This should give us 65 polls or more whether a player remains and at start of 2008 season I'll post a chart who is best prognosticator and some other states such as who guessed the most players gone, etc.

Note: This is a prediction on what the Bills will do not what YOU think they should do. A vote of 'No' means the player will be cut, traded, injured and put on IR, retired, or put on some other list as long as it is not active roster. I will NOT vote to make judging impartial.

Third poll is on Ryan Neufeld

Discussions on why player may be gone are fine and encouraged but this is not an essay and only answer written counts.

Left out timer and can not delete thread. I'll record votes manually March 1

No, he brings virtually nothing to the team. Guys like Newufeld, Aiken, Wire, etc. whom have been here for a few years only for special teams should go this offseason so that the Bills overall depth can be improved upon.

Obviously Bills do not think that and this is what the Bills will do not what fans think. If Bills fans had control we would have a team with management of Bengals and success of Miami this year.

The Bills carried four TE/H-backs. Murphy and Schouman were on IR. Nuefeld had two receptions on the year. Royal, 25. Gaines, 25. Even Schouman had 3. Neufeld would be fourth, and last, at a position high on the upgrading list.

He is gone along with Massaquoi and Murphy. And, heck, I think one of the others might go too. Unless they think Schouman will fill the H-back starting role when he returns.

I can't help but think Everett would have had a breakout year.

O, and I like Wire and Aiken. And Haggan and Stamer. But, Aiken or Price needs to go. We will be out of WR spots. And, if we get 1 LB, one of the others will have to go. Probably Stamer.

[shelby]

No.
And Glenn, i edited the poll to close in 60 days for you.

[YardRat]

I think Neufeld stays unless the team makes a dcent splash in FA for a TE/H-back/fullback, which I don't expect.

[Bone]

Gone, we have schouman.

[bigbub2352]

God please get rid of the useless people on this team, starting here, ending with Aiken

[patmoran2006]

Gone.

I expect (or I should say hope) that the Bills will bring in a good TE this year. I think they keep Schouman and Gaines from this team.

I think Royal and Nuefeld will be out.

[Michael82]

Gone! see ya later! :bigwave:

[Marvelous]

I have no problem with RN. He is a hard nosed football player who has proven to be unselfish in his minimal role.. I like him as a reserve H-back/FB/TE etc.. A nice ST'er too....Unless there's a better option out tehre...

-Kinda OT-but not really--Same could be said about Robert Royal. He plays very hard and makes the most of his time..The team is better with him on it.. I accept we just arent getting a Shockey/Witten/Heap type TE here.. 1 YEAR of Riemersma & ol'e Metzelaars are the last for us...Sad but every year we go through this & it's mostly from Pat Moran. But we have soo many holes... But it is a G.D FACT THAT we/QB needs a Larry Centers or a TE target for dumpoffs. But then again have you guys noticed how awesome Lynch and Jackson are at dumpoff catches :):):)
-What a improvement in that department over Henry & McGayhee...

You sure about that?

P.S. - I think it is spelled "McGahee."
