Can we please stop saying there is talent and potential on this roster

[more cowbell]

Seriously...on this entire roster...there isn't ONE "star" or "elite" player to build a franchise around.

There are a few "good" players, the rest wouldn't even come close to starting on a different team.

All of our "core guys" are average players.

Let's break it down

QB - Edwards (sucks) Fitzpatrick (sucks) Brohm (sucks)

RB - Jackson (Good starter) Lynch (Average)

FB - McIntyre (How is this guy on an NFL roster?)

WR - Evans (average) Hardy (sucks) parrish (sucks) johnson (sucks)

TE - Nelson (average) Schouman (average?)

T - Bell (horrible) Meredith (a decent backup) Green (washed up loser)

G - Wood (average) Levitre (Good Starter)

C - Hangartner (good backup, NOT a starter)

DE - Stroud (average, NEVER played in a 3-4) Edwards (average) Johnson (average, see Stroud)

NT - Williams (good in a 4-3, never has played in a 3-4)

OLB - Mitchell (sucks) Kelsay (sucks, never played a 3-4) Maybin (sucks), Schobel (Probally retired, has never played in a 3-4)

MLB - Poz (Good starter), Davis (average)

CB- McGee (good starter) Florence (Average) McKelvin (?)

FS - Byrd (good starter)

SS - Whitner (sucks)


On paper this is the worst roster in the entire league, and we have the master mind of Chan Gailey getting ready to mold this bunch of has-beens and never-were's into something...

that's real encouraging.

Technically there's always potential. So let's calm down.

Re: Can we please stop saying there is talent and potential on this roster

To a degree you're right, but to another degree you're wrong.

Guys like Hardy, Johnson, Bell & Meredith showed little to no hope, to say they have potential is a code word for they've done absolutely nothing, but I'm hoping they do something.

Guys like Kyle Williams, Freddy Jackson, Donte Whitner, Paul Posluszny, Andy Levitre, Geoff Hangartner, Eric Wood & Jairus Byrd on the other hand, it's reasonable to say that these guys have incredible potential because they've been pretty productive from the start.

The distinction needs to be made, some players warrant hope, others have shown nothing.

Then how did we win 6,7,7 & 7 games the last 4 years ?

Your logic = Epic Fail


The roster gets flipped 25-30% every year and it will take a couple years to show results. No superstars but some talent to work with. You don't " luck out " winning 6-7 games.

The Patriots have made a nasty habit of taking average players from other sides and turning them into team players who help them win Championships.

This is not Madden

Get me an above average qb and some real pass rushers and i will win you 10 games

Re: Can we please stop saying there is talent and potential on this roster

Below average players, when combined with a below average coaching staff yield predictably below average results. It ain't rocket science.

The Bills have lots of things working against them this season--new coaching staff, new defense, new offense, the same below average group of players, and low expectations from the fans.

Get ready for 3-4 wins. And then hope springs eternal next March, right?

Not until you fix the on-line, you won't.

Re: Can we please stop saying there is talent and potential on this roster

lets see what the common thread has been since we became sucky oh so many years ago...a BAD OL!!! I truly believe if we can get a dominant offensive line, we would improve significantly. Even Bledsoe showed he could pass behind our decent-ish line for a half a season, but just got hit too much and even a veteran passer with a pretty darn solid career couldnt do too much for the rest of the season when he started to get hit more. This is why I am dead set on drafting an LT at #9 (as long as there's one there worth the pick). Granted, our QB's since then have been crap as well, but again I truly believe this is a result of our horrific OL...not many young guys would have flourished behind the crap Olines we have put out there.

Re: Can we please stop saying there is talent and potential on this roster

the reason why they all suck is because they were set up to suck.

We could've have an all pro team and they'd still suck.

Re: Can we please stop saying there is talent and potential on this roster

I completely agree. The majority of our roster is trash.... there are way too many delusional bills fans out there.
