    Flip the coin

    What if McGahee isnt fully recovered? What if he knee isn't "better"?

    What if we wasted a number 1 draft pick on a dud?

    It is possible... the fact is, he was told he would never play again... and if he cant, well, we wasted a #1 draft pick on him... AND have to pay him!

    Everyone knew it was a 50/50 shot to begin with. Don't follow the suprise in your post about wasting a pick, not like there was anyone available at that time who would of made a difference on a 6 and 10 team anyway.

    I understand what your saying.

    All I think Pride was saying was that talk of trading our proven player over a potential bust is kinda dumb.

    The Bills aren't going to trade Henry anyway. It was probably some Bills fan that came up with the #2 pick in the draft for TH. They have a solid running back to start and a potential stud as a backup. Both have good cap numbers and the team will have to see how the season plays out. After this season if both players show they are as good as advertised the team will look to move them next year.

    That's also why some people say it is to draft a Quarterback in the 1st round that won't see the field this year and has the "potential" to be a great QB, but will cost a ton of money and will not have ANY immediate impact. a QB in the first round is a gamble, just like McGahee is. Why do it?

    Because sometimes you just have to take a risk in order to obtain something of value. Personally, I don't know who we should draft, but I am willing to gamble on greatness every once and a while - not everytime mind you - but sometimes it makes sense.

    Mikey your also forgetting none of the QB's this year had an exploded leg.

    Im not debating Willis worth, im debating the silliness in even discussing a trade for unproven talent.

    I'm glad to see that many of us think that trading TH at this point would be pure, unadulterated LUNACY.
    Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

    Ill tell you all right now Id trade Henry for the right price even if we didnt have McGahee. He may be our team MVP, but hell he could of rushed for 800 yards and gotten it with as bad as this offensive preformed, some people talk about him like he went above and beyond last year he shined on an extremely crappy offense thanks in no part to Killdrive and Blewsoe.
    COMING SOON...

    no they say that because hes done it twice in a row and if he does a third (and yes that still wont make you trade happy lunatics happy) its kind of hard to deny TH is the real deal. I personally hope he does so we can dole out some I told you so's.

    WM may be a stud...may not be, but in an offence going to a run game id rather have a known back.

    He went to the USFL for two years! That's where he was developed. Jimbo was the only QB the Bills have selected in the first round that has done anything.

    1st rd QBs and Buffalo do not mix. The fans would eat him alive.
    Buffalo Only and Always.

    Lets get back to my original question... ignore TH for a bit... ignore trade rumors....

    take the draft pick of McGahee on its own merrits...

    We picked a guy who shattered his leg for the most part.... a running back no less.... what if... he cannot come back?

    Does he get cut? discuss that..... NOT TH
