I hate to say I told you so

I must have a good timing.

Late last week I posted a thread about how much effort and draft choices the Bills wasted on McGahee. A running back that was never any better than the running back they already had.


When he was first drafted we listened to the Bills and all thier zombie followers say the difference was the fact that he has break away speed ! He can break one for a TD from anywhere on the field . Therefore its worth the big investment.

So against N.E. they have a perfect play called and he runs completley free through a huge hole .
And what happens? Where was the speed ?

Do you honestly believe that Henry or most other NFL backs would have picked up less on that play ?

No most would have picked up more.

McGahee was the only bright spot this Sunday. Did you even watch the game?

You should hate to say it...because now you have to eat your foot. McGahee busted his ass today.

Although most of his posts are ridiclous there is some merit here. McGahee couldn't out run a guy with a bad hamstring. He needed to find the endzone and he couldn't. Are we better off with McGahee instead of Henry? Was it worth a first round pick? It's too late now but it just shows how big a joke TD was.

TD was a joke. Henry loved being a Bill, and I liked him cause of that. But as far as comparison goes between the two, I still think McGahee is a much better back. He busted his ass today, and our OL gave him **** to work with. Yet he still managed a couple big plays. He actually jolted some life into our team.

He is no break away back.

His big run was something any back could pick up on that play.

There wasnt anything for him to do but run straight down the field.

Where was the break away speed?

Isnt that what they paid for?

Even if he was to finally put in an effort, it won't give him speed.

He is no faster that Travis Henry. They didnt improve one iota taking him in the draft.


So yes, saying I told you so is exactly what I did.
There is no escaping how accurate it was.

Some of the best RB's in the game didnt threaten to hit a home run each time. Just look at Curtis Martin, he was just consistent with his 4ypc. Willis is similar. Ronnie Brown is in the same category as well. Does that make these RB's bad? NO, ofcourse not. Each back can do different things.

The point is that fans have a way of adopting the rhetoric that they are fed and regurgitating it as fact.

If they took an unbiased look the wouldn't be so off on evaluating these players.

They need to block out all the BS they are fed and just see it as it is.

This post is not only moronic, it's got down syndrome.

Your right. So that makes Willis and Schobel, anybody else play decent?

Hey listen to what my point is.

They had an equivalent back that was running for 1300 and 1400 yards a year.

So when asked why they are wasting a First round pick on a back that will be out for a year with a damaged knee, the answer was that he was a special back with the type of break away speed few backs have.

But that is not what he is . He is an average back.

With no break away speed. NONE!

OK ?

NONE. JUST LIKE I SAID THE OTHER DAY.

SO WHAT DID THEY GET ? YOU TELL ME. COME ON TELL ME.
IS THIS THE STANDOUT RUNNER YOU WERE TOLD HE WAS ?
