Bills Re-sign OT Jerman For 2 Years

[Night Train]

Backup insurance at OT.

I know you're thrilled beyond description with this news. :tired:

[THE END OF ALL DAYS]

I'm all a-tingle :)

[vicmantak]

Just incredible... I wonder which single reason made Jerman interesting to this organization...

[mybills]

looks like I'll be watching a few more games with his grandma.

Look, who the hell knows WHAT talent we have hidden on this roster? Do any of you *****ing and whining honestly trust MM And his assclown crew to have helped any of these guys reach thier potential?

Thats cool MB. Thats how I come to know Jerry Crafts that played here awhile back. Watching games here with his family at the Outback

For depth purposes, no problem. I just hope he never has to start a game for us.

He did last year. He's 6'5" 300 lbs...and I'm pretty sure he used to play defense. Somebody saw something in him that was worth moving him to offense. :idunno: I don't think he did that bad on the OL last year. Whereas he was terrible in Miami.

Bills Re-sign OT Jerman For 2 Years


why?

[LifetimeBillsFan]

I have only one word to say on re-signing Jerman: Why?

I usually give players the benefit of the doubt--until they show me that they can't get the job done. While you can argue that Jerman may not have been used properly, etc. by MM, this is his second stop in the NFL and he has not shown anything here or in Miami to indicate that he can even be a competent back-up.

One thing that is beginning to concern me about McNally--who I have been a HUGE supporter of--is that I see a tendency in him to "fall in love" with certain players who either look good in the weight-room or who must be coming up with all of the right answers in the classroom, but who can't seem to play a lick when they get on the field: first there was Pukecillo and now Jerman. If given a choice between a Ross Tucker, who doesn't look good, but who is a fighter once the whistle blows, and either of those guys, I would take a Tucker-type every time. Unfortunately, McNally doesn't seem to be thinking that way at all.

After watching him play for Miami and the Bills, I simply do not see what Jerman brings to the team at all, even as a back-up.

Maybe Marv met his grandma. Can't break and old woman's heart. :D

I cannot believe that none of you guys have brought up the fact that we are paying him 1.27 million and he really hasn't proved crap so far. Why does it appear that we are overpaying no namers so far this off season? Royal and Jerman.

[justasportsfan]

Don't like Jerman but I'm pretty sure McNally had a hand in this signing and I trust the Mouse.

[gr8slayer]

Wow we are making strides this off-season.

Jerman wasn't bad last year??? This was him in virtually every game he played in!!!

[mybills]

I said not THAT bad compared to Miami.
READ THE WHOLE POST. thanks! :up:

[mysticsoto]

I was saying last year since TC that Duke Preston was getting owned by Sam Adams left and right - and everybody seemed to think I was being really critical of him. Well...he's a rookie and played like one. But Jerman is NOT a rookie!!!
