Aaron Maybin retired from the CFL today.

No major sources are covering it because he sucks.

[stuckincincy]

Is this meant to be that sappy "closure" thing that has been chatted about for a couple of decades? :mbb:

[The King]

If by closure you mean every door was shut on his face than yes.

[OpIv37]

He's from this area. I'll probably buy a hot dog from him at Nationals Park later this summer.

[GvilleBills]

Somewhere, Dick Jauron weeps...

Hmm - are you defending Maybin? We are not clear here, you and I...

[BertSquirtgum]

What great pick Dick.

[BertSquirtgum]

Nah, he'll be on a reality show called Maybe Maybin about how he could have been an nfl player but he was too worried about his rap songs.

The reality show will need to be on Public Access in WNY, because nobody nationally will have any clue who the **** Aaron "Mayhem" Maybin is

[bleve]

An end to a long and distinguished career.

What a complete waste.

[stuckincincy]

What a complete waste.

And drafted before the salary cap. I bet he has a pile for life.

I seriously doubt that.. we made him rich.

[kscdogbillsfan1221]

And drafted before the salary cap. I bet he has a pile for life.

i'm assuming you mean the rookie wage scale?

[Scumbag College]

If no one wants you on their team, is that really retirement?

I'd like to announce my retirement from the NFL, NBA, and my presidential run then.

[Mr. Miyagi]

FU Dick Jauron.

[Bill Cody]

He's from this area. I'll probably buy a hot dog from him at Nationals Park later this summer.

Think so? He got over 14m from the Bills. He might own the hot dog company.

[The King]

Are we pretending like Aaron Maybin made wise investments to save for his future?

[don137]

He made more money than most of us will see in a lifetime yet never made a contribution or done so little to earn it.

[Night Train]

Are we pretending like Aaron Maybin made wise investments to save for his future?

I sold him my 8 track company for 3 Mil.

:up:

[BertSquirtgum]

I seriously doubt that.. we made him rich.

That money is long gone.

[BertSquirtgum]

Also, looking back at the 2009 nfl draft and seeing who was drafted after Maybin makes my stomach upset.

The Bills only passed on guys like Orakpo, Clay Matthews, Harvin...who would want those guys on the team?

Not sure if you are kidding. We need to know when you're kidding!

[RedEyE]

Somewhere lard ass Mike Williams is smiling......



....in between giant bites of his Luther Vandross Burger.

[Homegrown]

He got over 14m from the Bills. .

"to whom much is given, much is expected ".... Wait!?!, what??

[DraftBoy]

I'll never get the irrational hate for players who went bust.

Wish him the best of luck, he's a hell of an artist, so he's likely got a second career set up.

Agreed.. . If player x is scouted, drafted and paid by the organization, then good for the player, but shame on the team for making it happen

i think part of it is not only the great talent that our idiotic gm and coach passed over, but also the long hold out before he had even gotten on the field. at least with me anyway

[YardRat]

Almost 30 posts in and nobody has mentioned that he will be eligible for the Hall of Fame in five years? You people are slipping...

[TacklingDummy]

He's probably near broke.

Just like with the 2011 draft.

Perry Tuttle too!

[Forward_Lateral]

Worst Bills first round draft choice ever?

[don137]

Perry Tuttle too!

Tuttle lives in the area of Charlotte I live. His kids go to the same school as mine. I see him around from time to time at stores. Never talked to the guy. He wrote a book a couple years ago. Not sure what he does for a living though.

What does that have to do with anything? When he was drafted a number of Top 15 picks held out annually. Hell if anything its furthered underlined here why Maybin should of held out. His career was very short but he got his money. Good for him.

[DraftBoy]

Worst Bills first round draft choice ever?

I still go with Mike Williams, though its quite close.

[DynaPaul]

I think Maybin exceeded Williams as biggest bust ever. Williams, believe it or not, actually had more longevity and never had to settle for the CFL.

[Historian]

Worst Bills first round draft choice ever?

The list of Bills 1st round busts is long and distinguished. It goes back way before Maybin and Flowers:

1960-Richie Lucas
1966-Mike Dennis
1970-Al Cowlings
1972-Walt Patulski
1975-Tom Ruud
1977-Phil Dokes
1979-Tom Cousineau
1981-Booker Moore
1982-Perry Tuttle
1983-Tony Hunter
1990-JD Williams
2000-Eric Flowers
2002-Mike Williams
2009-Aaron Maybin

And that list isn't even including the guys who contributed, but flubbed plays like Don Beebe and Ronnie Harmon.

Didn't the pick we got from Cleveland for Cousineau used for Jim Kelly?

[Dr. Lecter]

I still go with Mike Williams, though its quite close.

Maybin was way worse. He literally did nothing with the Bills. at least Williams started and had a few good games.

[Dr. Lecter]

I wonder if he did a celebratory dance after retiring?

[DraftBoy]

Maybin was way worse. He literally did nothing with the Bills. at least Williams started and had a few good games.

Given the state of the OL I'm not sure Williams either starting is any kind of an actual accomplishment.
