One good thing about sucking this year

[northernbillfan]

We have first dibs on waivers.

We have first dibs on waivers.I want that top pick in the draft.

[better days]

And a front office to take advantage of that fact unlike the past decade.

[northernbillfan]

I want that top pick in the draft.This was always a main goal of tolerating the sucking this season.

Especially when Nix comes out and says, "The team will be rebuilding through the draft, so fans have to be patient. It's going to be painful, but will pay off in the long run."

Ya know, people can say what they want about Nix, but I have to commend him on one thing in particular - he has been very honest with us from day one. He doesn't sugar-coat and he doesn't use coach/GM speak to cover up what he's trying to say. I may not agree with all of his decisions, but he's basically done exactly what he said he was going to do.

Nix is old school that's y he is honest

[BertSquirtgum]

you guys think the bills would have tried claiming merriman if brandon was still the gm and jauron was still the head coach?

[SabreEleven]

Except they claimed the wrong LBer.

[BertSquirtgum]

claimed the wrong linebacker? what does that even mean?

[Lexwhat]

claimed the wrong linebacker? what does that even mean?

Thaddeus Gibson, Steelers.

[QUOTE=seanbillsfan]Why the love for Gibson? The guy hasn't done a single thing. There are guys who get cut from practice squads all the time but for some reason people think this guy is awesome

Going to agree. Tyrone McKenzie (Pats) was a guy who was cut and was drafted in the 3rd round. He cleared waivers and they put him on the PS.

Think of all the DB's we can claim. :sarcasm2:

[northernbillfan]

Think of all the DB's we can claim. :sarcasm2:We only need one more to tighten things up. Let's hope Merriman pans out and gets it together.

[RockStar36]

Except they claimed the wrong LBer.

Oh yeah, I agree. They definitely should've claimed the rookie that couldn't even make Pittsburgh's gameday roster instead of taking a flyer on a one time elite LB.

Thaddeus Gibson, Steelers.

i know who he meant. i wanted and explanation for wanting a 4th round pick that couldn't make the steelers team instead of a former pro-bowl linebacker.
