    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!

      TH has walked the walk and proved what he can do.

        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.

                            Refresh my memory...what happened the last time we selected a QB in the first round?

                              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?
