Bills QB Hamdan: 'This isn't fantasy football'
Related to that all-for-one mentality, the Bills seems to be a team with no elite talent, but no weaknesses. Would you agree with that?
GH: Now, see, I wouldn't say that. I wouldn't say that. There is elite talent here. I think where we are located geographically, the coverage that we get, leads people to believe a certain thing about our team. I've been on a lot of teams. There are elite players here. Maybe not big names. Maybe not guys that the average fan, looking at a fantasy-football sheet, would say 'Oh, yeah.' But that's not how you build a team.
I think if you look at the successful teams over the years, namely the one in our division, New England, or a San Diego or an Indianapolis, you don't necessarily go down the roster and say first-round pick, first-round pick, first-round pick, eight-year Pro Bowler, six-year Pro Bowler ... You look at how teams are built, and the teams that are having success are the teams that are doing a good job of bringing players in that fit a system, that can jell into a cohesive unit and know their roles.
So you can say all you want about no being an elite player, but I'll take a guy who plays his role excellent on each and every play than a guy who maybe is an elite player because isn't playing at a high level because he's maybe upset about his role on the team or where he's situated.
I think I misspoke when I said "no elite talent," ....
Ya think?
