For those saying that TD doesn't have an ego ... I found this on the Bills official site:
Josh McCarty (St. Louis): As a GM, do you feel you have shortchanged this team by getting zero production out of the first day draft picks in 2002 and 2003? All we have to show for those first day picks are 2 DE's that can't rush the passer, an offensive tackle who is a liability vs. speedy DE's, a WR in Josh Reed who has been the poster child for inconsistency, and players like Coy Wire and Angelo Crowell who have been nothing but special teams players. When you look around the league and see the elite teams getting immediate production out of their first day picks, which is what you need in today's NFL, how can the Bills justify not having one impact player to show from either the 2002 or 2003 draft class?
Tom Donahoe: With all due respect, we would not agree with your assessment of some of our young players, many of whom are in various stages of development and are getting better each and every day. When you look at the personnel in this team with Tom Modrak, who heads up our college scouting, and John Guy, who is in charge of our pro scouting, we're very pleased with the job that they have done. We have virtually had to transform this roster over the last three years and we think it's a young roster with a group of players who are going to continue to get better.
I can't believe that ... his last statement (saying they had to transform the roster) is basically blaming the previous administration. What ******* balls!! Blaming the last administration (which hardly ever finished below 8-8) for your own pathetic performance.
