We are stacked at DL, deep at LBer, but if anyone can maximize a players talent, its G-dub.

thoughts? Im indifferent.

We won't be picking him up, but I guarantee someone will. Its ridiculous to give up on a high 1st round pick after 2 years. Some players take longer.

Drafted 11th overall in 2009 out of Penn State for his pass-rushing abilities, Maybin has yet to register a sack in 26 career games. Last season he was credited with only six tackles and has just 24 in his two-year career. At 6-foot-4 and 228 pounds, Maybin is considered undersized for his position. He's had difficulty relying solely on his speed to beat offensive linemen



need I bold more?

I agree. Unless he, like, shot someone or something terrible, you've gotta give a guy with that much potential a shot. They may be trying to sneak him through waivers and bring him back a t a lower salary. ??

Does this board have a "Should we pick him up?" thread after every release announced in the NFL? Cripes.

Unless he really sucks arse like Maybin. His lack of stats is shocking. He plays on an awful team but still can't get on a field.

i dont think he fit that scheme well. But im not sure he is a LB in a 4-3 either. Certainly not a down lineman

His dimensions arent well suited for OLB or full time DE unless he really bulks up.

228 lbs at 6'4"???? Hes built exactly like Colston.

I was thinking they should just start a permanent "should we" board. Could work for recruits too, though I fear ranters would only invade and bitch about a two star from Fair Park they think shouldn't have gotten a scholly

Well yeah.

At least the OP added more than "should we".

That's crazy. The Bills front office needs a complete overhaul. When they hired Chan Gailey I pretty much just looked at them and said "I guess they are happy getting high draft picks over the next four years."

Kind of feel bad for Bills fans.
