Merriman may never play for hte Bills

[trapezeus]

On the blo news blog, apparently in the Q&A with gailey, he said that Merriman would not practice and not available to go this week vs the Steelers.

some reporters said that gailey sounded like the news isn't good about him. and gailey responded with something to the effect of, "no one has told me how long this is going to take."

the blog ended with the possiblity that merriman will never actually play a down.

it was a low risk deal, so nothing to be angry about. but i was hoping we were going to get lucky with this. looks more and more likely that we won't.

Merriman will have few options other than Buffalo if he doesn't play again this season.

Yep, it looks that way. Good, we don't need any Hollywood star pre-madonnas on this team anyway. He can take a hike over the Niagara falls as far as I'm concerned. What a waste of a roster spot.

If he plays he plays.

As long as the Bills keep playing the way they have for the last few weeks I couldn't care if Merriman ever sees the field.

If im his agent Id be telling him he might want to go out there and register some sacks. He doesnt and he wont cash in as nearly as good as he thinks

This shouldnt surprise anybody.

He'll keep coming up with these mysterious muscle pulls and strains that are undetectable to team doctors, but hurt like hell.

Your right it shouldn't be surprising. But it should anger fans that wasted time welcoming this bum to the franchise only to watch him spit it back at the community and the team by sitting on his rump to take an easy way out approach. He could've taken it like a man and actually contributed but he didn't. I have more respect for Maybin at this point.

Honestly, I don't think he would fit in with this team. A guy that keeps on having mysterious "muscle pulls" has no place on a young team with a bunch of fight in it.

Yeah, say what you will about the talent on our team right now, but at least they have great character and play with a lot of pride. Merriman doesn't deserve to wear a Bills uniform in my opinion. Just cut the guy already. I don't want him having any influence on any of our young players.

Re: Merriman may never play for hte Bills

giving merriman the benefit of the doubt for a second, let's assume he's hurt.

He needs to either play and play well with the bills to get a paycheck next. What team is going to look at him as a solution to their LB core? the bills were hoping he could be, and the price was right. I doubt the bills are going to offer him anything without some performance.

Or he could be injured, in which case he should just stay off the field and hope someone overpays him one more time for a couple years.

I think the bills still need a lot more LB options. I think they have some guys who could be good backups, but we don't have a bad ass starter.

He may only play a few games but I think he will play. The bigger question is, will he get the big contract from anyone or just stay?

Except make the Bills look dumber, make Nix and Gailey look dumb and cost Ralph $1.3 million bones..... other then that, yeah, didn't do any harm.
