Does he have what it takes to replace Antoine Winfield at cornerback and might it be a possibility of the Bills not signing a cornerback for that reason.

I think McGee has some real talent but would be better to learn at least 1 more year.

True but from his performance last year I think he can become an excellent shut down corner.Comment

I personally feel most CBs in the league have what it takes to get burnt by average receivers week in and week out.
Now for his tackling ability, that is what I question.
(Scarsm Off) Yes, I feel he can be just as effective as AWin, but that really isnt saying much. All he has to do is tackle his guy after they catch the ball.Comment

I think he would be too inconsistent this year 1 more year to learn and he should be fine.Originally posted by kwharter

He played well but he played well against 3rd and 4th receivers. I am not sure if he is ready to cover a Chris Chambers or Santana Moss.
I was a fan of letting him try it but after thinking it over I think one more year or development would be good for him.Get all the fools on your side and you can be elected to anything.

Also if McGee and free agency isn't the answer then can we get someone in the draft that will come in and be able to get more interceptions then we have had in the past couple of years.Comment

McGee is the answer, but I agree that he needs another season or 2 of experience. That's why Troy Vincent is a perfect fit. A guy who can play corner for a few years, then move to safety in his twilight yearsComment

I was thinking the same thing, as long as the guy can tackle, he can't do much better or worse than Winfield, and hey, if by some crazy miracle one of our cornerbacks other than Clements manages to intercept a ball (i.e. McGee or whoever), I'd consider it an upgrade from Winfield.Originally posted by Pride

i am not at all opposed to letting him go as the starter if we cant get vincent or taylor for a reasonable price.. those are the only two CBs that i really feel will fit here.. if we sign a CB.. it HAS to be a vet that is not going to want big money to stick around for a while..
if we go with mcgee at CB.. it is CRUCIAL that we get a guy like winstrom to help the pass rush.. a great pass rush makes ALL cbs better."All hockey players are bilingual. They know English and profanity." ~ Gordie HoweComment

You pretty much said it all, Forward. If Vincent is too pricey to get, then it looks like McGee would be the likely starter.Originally posted by Forward_Lateral

Wouldn't it be more likely that, in the absence of Vincent, that McGee would be the better choice over an inexperienced rookie? It would seem that the type of guy you're thinking of would have to be pretty high up on the draft charts (1st or 2nd round). Who do you have in mind?Originally posted by kwharter

And someone else said "Never mind!"

New England won the Super Bowl last year with two rookies playing significant time in the secondary so anything is possible. I think McGee has the ability to succeed this year as the starter but you never know. This time last year everyone was talking up Thomas as the answer for at least the nickel and as a future shut down corner. Now McGee is the flavor of the month.
If they sign Vincent and draft a corner then I say move McGee or Thomas to Free Safety.Comment

McGee had 2 picks last year and about 1/10th the pt that AW hadOriginally posted by WNYnut

He showed promise, but you have to understand what situations he was in when he was in. No one has seen him play a whole game at corner.
I HAVE to remind everyone that CHRIS WATSON showed promise the year before his disaster. In similiar Nickel situations as McGee.
Also, a few people were aroused at Thomas's play against Green Bay two seasons ago.
Bottom line - he's unproven.Comment

Watson showed promise in limited starter duty as wellOriginally posted by billsfanone
