McGahee Returns To Buffalo
Hello Bills fans. This week Willis McGahee returns to Buffalo for the first time since being traded this past off-season. McGahee was drafted by the Bills in 2003 but didn’t see his first action until the 2004 season. It was a total surprise when the Bills selected McGahee because Travis Henry was playing well. McGahee was a top prospect in college but had a horrific knee injury that knocked him down to the 23rd pick in the draft. He wasn’t ready to play but the Bills waited for him because they felt he was a special talent. After four seasons with the Bills, McGahee was demanding a contract extension. He only gained 990 yards in 2006 and the Bills wanted to wait to see if he would bounce back in 07 before rewarding him with a new contract. Willis didn’t really want to be in Buffalo. He became frustrated and started to make dumb decisions during games. He seemed to not run as hard as he did in previous years. The Bills granted McGahee’s wish and traded him to Baltimore for three draft picks. What is ironic to me is that one of the draft picks we received for him was used to select our rookie starting quarterback Trent Edwards. What is also pretty funny is that back in 2003 we traded Peerless Price to the Atlanta Falcons for the 23rd pick in the 2003 draft, which we used on McGahee. Peerless has been back with the Bills for two years but is injured. I was tired of McGahee. In my opinion he danced around too much and didn’t try to get the extra yards. I’m really happy that we have Marshawn Lynch and I would take him any day over McGahee. Bills fans are going to heckle Willis all game. When Willis left, he made some comments about the team and how happy he is to be out of Buffalo. Well Willis, I hope this Sunday you get shutdown and our new back talks a couple to the house. Lets go Bills and shutdown the Ravens.
