What is your favorite move TD pulled off while GM of Buffalo and what is the worst move TD did as GM of Buffalo?

[gr8slayer]

Just about all of TD's first rounders were good picks.

[LtBillsFan66]

Good: Getting Bledsoe. Yes it was a great move at the time.

Bad: Inactive FA this year when there were big needs.

I don't put too much blame on the drafts. Who knew MW would be a bust. But I do kind of blame him for the Coy Wire experiment.

The Coy Wire exp. was supposed to be a great move at one time too. Just didnt pan out. Then again, its not like he has had every chance in the world to prove himself.

I don't think you experiment that high in the draft. Big deal that he can jump out of a pool.

[Novacane]

good
Mcghahee, Evans, Peters, Mcgee, Spikes, etc


terrible

Manboobs and MooMoo. If he'd of hired Weiss he'd still have a job

[Philagape]

Best: Trading Poorless for Willis

Worst: The 2002 draft

[Romes]

Best: getting a first round pick for price
Worst: greg williams and his first coaching staff

[TacklingDummy]

Just about all of TD's first rounders were good picks.

2001: Nate Clements: Donahoe's best 1st round pick, imo. Nate will clearly be missed next season if he doesn't comeback. You people hating on Nate will be hating on McGee next year.

2002: Mike Williams: Don't know if it was poor coaching or he's just a bust.

2003: Traded first pick for Bledsoe. Got first round pick from Atlanta and Drafted McGahee.

2004: Lee Evans: Will he be good enough to be the teams #1 WR? JP Losman a reach at QB. Most likely will end up a bust.

2005: No 1st rounder, was traded to Dallas so the Bills could get Losman.

[Jeff1220]

Best move: I say Terrence McGee. ProBowl return man/very solid CB from the 4th round. He has been a bright spot on the past couple of seasons. I'm sure glad they've got him extended.

Worst move: Going with both Gregg Williams and Mike Mularkey as his hires at HC during his tenure.

Other good highlights:
Getting a first/Willis for Peerless was sweet!
Signing TKO was huge!

[Devin]

Best:

1. The peerless price trade was a thing of beauty, he engineered that to perfection.

2. Most of his 1st round draft picks were pretty good

3. Bringing Spikes/Fletcher here.

Worst:

1. Mike Williams. Although no one can fault him for that, at the time he and McKinnie were it and most any team would have done the same.

2. General lack of OL attention

3. Mike Mularkey/Gregg Williams. Had he signed any of the HC's at the time that were available hed probably still be employed.

4. not re-signing Pat Williams

[Demon]

Favorite: Signing Takeo Spikes

Worst: Mike Mularkey

[LtBillsFan66]

2001: Nate Clements: Donahoe's best 1st round pick, imo. Nate will clearly be missed next season if he doesn't comeback. You people hating on Nate will be hating on McGee next year.

2002: Mike Williams: Don't know if it was poor coaching or he's just a bust.

I agree about Clements.

But how can you excuse MW as lack of coaching yet dismiss JP as a bust!?

[ublinkwescore]

Getting Sam Adams was huge too.

[mysticsoto]

Best: Getting something out of Peerless, Sam Adams, Spikes and good picks in the low or undrafted areas (McGee, Peters)

Worst: 2002 draft class, HC picked to coach team

[TacklingDummy]

But how can you excuse MW as lack of coaching yet dismiss JP as a bust!?

Because I believe its easier to coach a o-linemen then it is to coach a QB. A QB either has it or doesn't have it.


Letting Pat Williams walk was the worst decision TD made with players that were on our roster.

And cutting Doug and keeping Johnson was a bad decision.

Hopefully the next GM will see how important Nate Clements is to our defense and they resign him.

Best Pick terrance mcgee

[ICE74129]

Favorite move: Getting fired.

Worst move: Getting hired.
