    Leodis McKelvin is not a star

    But he has his place in Buffalo Bills. Will have trouble with big receivers or TEs, but is always a good coverage guy and as he ages, seems to be able to get his hands on balls more and more.

    So far this season, you have to say he's most consistent secondary player of the Bills.

    Leodis may not be a star but he is a motivational speaker...

    They need to to be top 5 picks rather than top 15.

    Sad that Leodis is our best CB, but to his credit he has been serviceable and definitely deserves a game ball today.

    Re: Leodis McKelvin is not a star

    Well, considering the rules, it's pretty hard to play corner in today's NFL. Richard Sherman got smoked by Dez Bryant multiple times last week. Revis doesn't because he's Revis and now he plays for New England and will rarely see a flag.

    I suggested to Coach Sal that McKelvin would make an excellent guest this week on one of his WGR shows.

    Ask him a few philosophy questions as well.

    Re: Leodis McKelvin is not a star

    Gilmore is still the most consistent corner, and Graham should still be starting. McKelvin is as hot and cold as it gets.

    Gillmore is consistent in the sense that he's always awful.

    Re: Leodis McKelvin is not a star

    Gilmore doesn't get thrown at nearly as much as McKelvin, Robey, or even Graham when he is in there...there's a reason for that.

    Re: Leodis McKelvin is not a star

    Gilmore looked really bad on a few plays today. No doubt about that.

    Re: Leodis McKelvin is not a star

    Gilmore has a lot of work to do if he wants to be a #1 corner in this league. I still think he has the talent to get there but he's gotta put it all together.

    Re: Leodis McKelvin is not a star

    Graham is not nearly as good a corner as he showed in the first couple of weeks. With the safety situation we are in now, it may be best to play him at safety

    Re: Leodis McKelvin is not a star

    My thoughts on Gilmore........

    He's far from a shutdown corner but he can contain your top reciever to the point he doesn't go totally off for like 10
    catchea 150+ yards and 2 scores. He'll keep
    a teams best reciever to under 100 yards and a score. So bottom line is we need a shutdown corner opposite him and we're straight.

    Gilmore looked lost out there today. As long as that remains the case, Leodis has a place on this defense.

    To be as polite as I can be

    You're nuts

    Robey has been terrible this year. Just terrible

    McKelvin has been, by damn wide margin, the Bills best corner. And is actually a pretty good corner.

    He is the least of the Bills problems
