Talk about career suicide

[ChanGailey]

How the HEEEELLLL did Nix n Co. talk George Edwards into leaving Florida??

Hey George, you should come to Buffalo!

The weather sucks, our owner's cheap. We're gonna switch defenses and only play players out of their natural positions. That's right, we're going to move Stroud and Spencer to d-end and we're going to move Kyle Williams to nose tackle, that way we'll have little-to-no chance of success.

We have a one year wonder 130lb OLB, our other quality D-end is retiring. Kelsay is horrible but we'll call him in a linebacker, maybe that'll change something.

We won't add any talent. We'll only draft guys that'll have to change positions, just like last year. That's our formula for failure.

Edwards made a big ole mistake coming to this trainwreck.

Re: Talk about career suicide

You are becoming a troll with all your negative threads one day into free agency.

Rebuilding takes time. It wasn't going to happen overnight.

If we draft a bunch of losers I will be right on the bash train with you, but right now everyone needs to relax.

Ralph dug this team a whole over the course of ten years.

If anyone thinks going out and signing a Dansby or a Brandon Marshall, or a Cromartie would put us over the top overnight, or even in good shape is kidding themselves.

A. high end free agents don't want to go to a rebuilding team.

and...

B. What Nix is going to try and do is the two to three year rebuild.

This season we will draft for need with BPA on the mind. We might even go after our future franchise QB if we see one we like.

Then we will fill the rest of our needs with low end to middle of the road free agents. At least the ones that are left.

Next season is when you start to improve on what you have. Maybe now you go after the big fish in free agency. Someone who will instantly make the team better. Finish upgrading through the draft.

Now you are starting to compete. Because the 2009 and 2010 drafts have matured and the 2011 draft is maturing.

2012 is the year the Bills should be doing something in the playoffs.

And as for the whole Edwards point in this thread NFL > College coordinating.

If he can succeed in the NFL, especially with converting the Bills defense to a successful 3-4, then he will be just fine.

My point is that he's not only going to have to convert the Bills to a 3-4, but he's going to have to convert like 4 or 5 of his front 7 to new positions, as well.

I never said I wanted Dansby, Peppers or Cromartie. But we need more talent, it can't be done in just one draft.

The Dolphins proved that you can go from 1-15 and win the division the next year. That should be the goal. Anything lower is called settling for mediocrity.

It's just rinse and repeat. We've been rebuilding since 2001. There is no sense of urgency.

If it was my job to build a winner I wouldn't be sitting on my ass doing nothing!

Despite our decade of mediocrity, we certainly have not been rebuilding since 2001. What we've seen the last decade is a team that deludes itself into thinking they're a few pieces away from contending. I expect this to be a complete and total rebuild. Keep in mind our brain trust last season thought our 6-10 team was going to be a contender.

Also, the Dolphins are a poor example because they lucked into a quarterback who finished 2nd in the MVP voting and it's fairly unlikely anyone like that will be available.

If Nix's time in San Diego is any indication, he's looking to make us a perennial playoff team, not win a few more games in the upcoming season.

Last year's draft was pretty good, thanks.

Ok, Byrd and Levitre don't make an entire draft.

Wood is disabled, may not be the same ever again.

Maybin, the top pick, completely terrible and IDK if moving him a foot outside is going to make it any harder to block him.

And, who else? Lankster? Harris? They did nothing.

So by last years "pretty good" status, we will get 2 and a half starters out of this draft.

Whew, I guess I don't need to worry anymore.

Wood was a good pick. Might his career be hampered? Sure. That does not make it a bad pick.

And they also drafted this Nelson guy, that you conveniently ignore.

But I do agree that Maybin was a bad pick.

But 4 possible solid picks in one draft is pretty good - Nelson, Wood, Levitre and Byrd.

As for Lankster, he was a 7th round pick. He does get a year or two.

Totally agree with you bro. Except Maybin I think will be a much better looked at pic after this year when he moves to where he should of been playing OLB

This line alone shows that you are not worth listening to. You cannot claim that it was a bad pick because he had a freak injury.

Re: Talk about career suicide

Two things. One, This is not your average year due to it being an uncapped year so the pickings are not that good unless you want to over pay and the Bills are not in position to overpay.
CG, your constant whining like a little spoiled kid is ruining this forum. All I see is threads started by you and chronicly complaining. No one is happy about the situation the Bills are in but sitting back and whining non stop is not constructive and ruining it for everyone. Football is a game. Quit taking it so seriously. The people of Haiti and Chile have a lot more to complain about. Lighten up.

Re: Talk about career suicide

Just curious which option below you believe is the criteria for a good pick:

1) A guy who contributes on the field, has some longevity in his career and plays up to or outperforms the value of his contract.

2) A guy who a bunch of people have the opinion he was a good pick.

Wood was a good pick. Might his career be hampered? Sure. That does not make it a bad pick.
