last year... And then they went and showed why they were worthy:
DeSean Jackson- Yeah, he cant play
Eddie Royal- Hes not worth a 2nd round pick
I would take either one of them over Hardy at this point.
Maybe this year we can try to not out think ourselves, and get playmakers regardless if they arent prototypical height or size.
Guys like Orakpo, and Brown come to mind.
Playmakers make plays... period.
It's easy to make that call after the fact

But you can also take a look at how I felt about both before the draft.
The point isn't about whether we made the right choice or not... its more about some of us trying so hard to point us away from some playmakers because they arent prototypical size.
You could then head down the road of second guessing guys who do have the prototypical size but have some issues like heart.
Obviously, but the point is the ability of this front office to evaluate talent is sub-standard. There were other receivers available who are now contributing that the Bills could've had instead of Hardy.
My point is that both these guys looked more like the playmakers we needed than Hardy. But they werent tall enough.
That seems like a really weak ass excuse right about now.
Judging a Wide Receiver after one year is certainly a great idea.
"'Clean up your room.', 'Stand up straight.', 'Pick up your feet.', 'Take it like a man.', 'Be nice to your sister.', 'Don't mix beer and wine, ever.'. Oh yeah, 'Don't drive on the railroad track.'"
"Eh, Phil. That's one I happen to agree with."
No judge, no jury, no nothing.
I simply said that I would take either over Hardy right now.
Thats a straight up comparison of two guys against another when all were rookies.
The better point is that some had these guys WAY below Hardy before the draft.
Hindsight is definitely 20/20
But
Throughout the past decade we can do this on every single draft pick we've made.
At some point you have to stop and question the talent evaluators that we continue to move forward with year after year for their moves.
Im sorry to say it but look at miami. They were blasted for not taking Quinn and look at how they turned out with ginn. Alot better than Quinn in Cleveland.
In a year from now you can be looking back at this thread thinking how glad you are that we drafted Hardy.last year... And then they went and showed why they were worthy:

How do you know he wont have a breakout season next year and become a dominant WR? Just like we didnt know how much better Desean and Eddie were going to be this year.
I can guarantee you we won't be saying that next year.
In fact, you can probably even make the very same guarantee.
It's simple....Hardy likely won't play much next year, if at all. Torn ACL = he's probably done for the year.
With that injury and the position he plays, his career might even be basically over. Never to amount to the fruition it possibly could have.
Thing is from what we saw in him, it's not really a major blow to our offense.
And injury not withstanding, Hardy was outperformed by guys like Davone Bess.
Ummm...Quinn has hardly played. You're comparing a QB to a WR. The WR has started since day 1 of being drafted. Quinn has barely seen the field. This comparison is way off.

I doubt that his career is over due to the torn ACL - there are plenty of young players that have come back from them.
Ronnie Brown had one last year and looked pretty good this season.
McGahee came back from much worse.
Michael Irvine had a pretty good career after suffering one in his first season.
we got stevie johnson, he will play over hardy next year
are you trying to say that hardy didnt look like a playmaker in college?
i think your full of ****.

I think we were worried as fans that Jackson would have been another Shaud Williams.
The Bills are also stupid for passing up on Terrell Davislast year... And then they went and showed why they were worthy:

So is the whole point in starting this thread an attempt to obtain some kind of recognition or vindication or something?
Hardy tore his Acl, who could have predicted that happening? I know he dropped some catchable passes before that as did other rookies (and vets for that matter) this year. Our main issue is coaching and management... fix that and we're in business
We should have drafted Joe Montana in Round 2 of 1979.
I called it.

NO, Im saying that I liked both Jackson and Royal better. And so far, I still do.
