the REAL reason why we didn't trade for Gonzo

Fine ready?
By Chris Brown - Posted October 15th, 2008
Bills rookie TE Derek Fine began participating in passing drills on Monday and is doing so again today in practice. When I spoke briefly to Fine leading up to the Arizona game he said, “One more week.”

There’s a decent chance that Fine may finally be ready to dress for a game this week, but we’ll wait on the official word from Dick Jauron and the release of the injury report this afternoon.

Of course even if he is ready for action it doesn’t mean he’ll be active on Sunday. But knowing he’d be a versatile addition to special teams he should get consideration.


Gonzales Who?

I seriously hope we didn't pass on Gonzo for Derek Fine. That would be about the dumbest move in the history of an organization known for dumb moves.

First, we didn't "pass" on Gonzalez. It appears that KC was firm on wanting a 2nd and a 5th, which we apparently thought was too high for a 32 year old player who may be in decline.

Second, Derek Fine may become a very good young player. Let's at least give him a chance.

I would have been very pissed if we gave up a 2nd & 5th for a guy who publicly stated he may retire in a year.

I for one am glad the Bills did not give up anything for this guy who will probably retire in a couple of years.

Im glad we passed on Gonzalez even if the price was just a third.

You have nothing to base that off of but hope and prayers. We've beaten that horse to death already though.

Im joyful with glee that our 4th Round pick may actually get a chance to dress this season though! :sarcasm:

First, forget what it appears because it's all just conjecture. It's amazing how you're so quick to defend the Bills' FO because we don't know what really went on but you're willing to believe rumor and conjecture about what KC wanted.

Second, passing on a HOF TE who may be the best player in history to ever play the position because a late round draft pick may become a good player some day? That's just insane. If anything, it's more reason to get Gonzales now because we'll have a functional TE now regardless of whether Fine ever develops into a good player.

There are several so called rumors or so called inside info but at least there's something where you have nothing yet you're so quick to judge the bills screweing up on this ?

Shefter is better than anything you have.

Re: the REAL reason why we didn't trade for Gonzo

Shefter is better than anything you have.

This time he's better because he's saying something good about the Bills.

Next week, when he writes something bad about us, he'll once again be just another media hack who ignores the Bills.

no. it has nothing to do about whether he said anything good or not. His friends are richer than yours. You had zero info yet you started to blast the bills. I will always go with Shefters friends before I ever listen to your ramblings with zero info to back it up.
