What about Maybin?

[ghz in pittsburgh]

He played a little last night. Seemed to continue his trend of improving.

Maybe there is hope afterall.

Remember g to the h to the gizzle...he's still 22 and was a RS So comin' out. I think he'll improve from pass rush specialist, to a full time guy if not by end of this season then the beginning of the next.

Re: What about Maybin?

The Bills blew the pick and he will NEVER equal Orakpo.

I'm just hoping he can become a serviceable starter eventually.

Re: What about Maybin?

At the rate he is improving he may get a sack or two 3-4 years form now.

Re: What about Maybin?

guys i agree he hasnt done squat but to say he'll NEVER be anything worthy isnt true...he is still so damn young and would still be in college this year if he didnt come out early....

Like I said, I'm hoping he can be a serviceable starter. I don't think he'll ever be a star but he is showing flashes that suggest he might be able to contribute on some level. That being said, I don't ever see him being the force that Orakpo is.

I have never seen a post where somebody claimed Maybin was, or ever would be Orakpo. The organization made a bad pick, which we have done from time to time....

Maybin has heart, I'll give him that. I think the guy tries. Trying doesn't always equate to success, but it never hurts. I wish he could gain some weight and keep it on. That would help.

The unfortunate part with Maybin is his "blooming," if it comes, is going to be after he has made some serious $$ warming the bench...then will want a raise, which could mean he is shown the door after we paid millions while he matured, which is usually done at the college level.

The pick was unfortunate for our team with so many needs, now we need to figure out how to make it the most beneficial it can be for our team.

I think Maybin looked excellent the last two preseason games.

Re: What about Maybin?

I also think Maybin looked good. Seems they even accounted for him by sending the RB to throw an extra chip his way. He still managed to generate a fair amount of pressure.

Re: What about Maybin?

Come on people...you've got to give credit where credit is due and Maybin definitely deserves credit for his play lately. He's constantly getting pressure on the QB and isn't that what we all want from him?

Re: What about Maybin?

Maybin will make some plays in obvious passing situations. He could be very good rushing the passer when the Bills have a big lead forcing other teams to abandon the run. The obvious challenge is the Bills getting a big lead.

How dare you even suggest that. The Bills should have drafted Orakpo, therefore we should all hate Maybin. Maybin held out (first NFL player to do so) and has acted a bit immature as 21 year old male (first human to do so). Therefore, we should continue to hate him. What he does in the future doesn't matter due to his past sins.

Re: What about Maybin?

He is looking better.
As far as pressure is concerned we do need that from him, but what we really need is sacks. If he can produce a steady stream of sacks and pressures throughout the game than I don't know what else we can ask for at this point.
I think we're hitting the nail on the head by calling Maybin a kid because he quite honestly plays like one at the moment. Very enthusiastic, always jumping around etc. That isn't a bad thing but he eventually needs to transition into playing like a man. Orakpo plays like a man and on some downs like an absolute monster. Teams game plan for him, he's that much of a concern. Nobody is game planning for Maybin yet, hopefully he can change that

Re: What about Maybin?

Maybin was a wasted pick, but I'll give him this season to prove me wrong, or at the least give me some confidence in him. I'm not really expecting him to do it though, sorry.

I think everyone agrees Maybin was a wasted pick. You can thank Jauron for that. All we can hope is as he matures, he develops into something.
