the comments suggest they already have too many RB'S and want WR'S and DB's. some like the pick. most are pissed they took a RB.

[Buff]

How many of them get paid millions to coach football?

[FANONTHEHILL]

It's nice to see Buffalo has a lot of fans that have no idea what they're talking about.  Kind of like a Hogville for western New York.

[JIHawg]

you find 1 or 2 negative comments on twitter and you have a subject heading that would imply an entire fan base is unhappy with the pick.

On the other hand, he does have a nice avatar.

Well duh, you're reading Hogville. What do you expect?

[HOGINTENNESSEE]

Once they watch him run it should change there mind

lol 1 or 2... there is like 1 or 2 "I like the pick" the rest are mad at the staff for taking another rb. I'm not sure what thier depth chart is like but I get the sense that they are deep enough there.

[sickboy]

Jonathan Williams is going to be a solid NFL running back.

[BILLYBOB]

Who cares? If he performs, they'll love him...if he doesn't, they'll hate him. Life is pretty simple.

How's it working out for those brilliant coaches and front office folks in Buffalo?

no doubt.  I really wish we would have got to see him run his senior season here. 

[HamSammich]

If a fan base is mad at a fifth round selection that may not make the team and if he does will be only special teams..... Well that says enough .

[Tejano Jawg]

Right. If I didn't know anything about him...and saw one of his runs from 2014, I'd stop and take notice.

You never know how the injury bug will bite, so adding talent to your team is never a bad thing.

Actually the fan base is very knowledgeable. I think it is more the glory years of the 90s spoiled them and they are desiring to go back to those days. But their team has so many holes to fill.

As you say, similar to our fan base. 

[RaisinHog]

I think it's a bad spot for J-will because they do have so many backs ... Hope he can beat some out

[k.c.hawg]

McCoy and Karlos Williams are the only backs that have any guaranteed money and both of those guys are definitely on that roster for 16. The other guys have no guarantees making them cut bait. J-Wil will get a signing bonus of about $240k which gives him a big leg up on earning a roster spot for at least a year. If they try to sneak him on the practice squad someone would claim him instantly. He's got a full season to show them what he can do.

Don't get me wrong, Buffalo has great fans that are very in tune with their Bills.  I've got friends in the Amherst area that are Bills season ticket holders.  They love the pick.  I was referring more to fans that are way of base with their insights and opinions, yet make the most noise.  Personally  I think Jonathan will do well in Buffalo and I'm excited for him.  He's a great young man

I understood you and know where you were coming from. The uneducated fan, including myself, are a vocal group. We are like ants at a picnic - very annoying and won't go away. 

The only bad thing for JWill going to Buffalo are the winters. Any city on the east side of a Great Lake gets tons of snow and wind. That cold wind cuts like a knife. Yet he is a good young man who will be a trooper for them. As someone said they all will love the pick when they see him run and get to know him. I'm sure he will be a stalwart in the community. 

[RedyorNot]

Our corporate headquarters is in upstate NY and with the exception of a few people, most weren't familiar with JWill. I can tell you after they saw a few videos and read up on him, everyone I've chatted with since yesterday is excited to have him.

sixth and seventh round guys hardly ever make the team. And when they do they are Special teams.
Usually the people shouting the hardest on the internet are the dumbest.

From 10 years of 6-7th round picks, the worst team still had 63% of those late round picks playing in at least one game with an overall average of 73% starting at least one game in their career. 22% started for a full season and 2% made a pro bowl.

73% starting a game is not the sort of number I'd say equates to hardly ever make the team. Now, if we are talking about making the week 1 roster, then yeah. However, 3/4 make the roster at some point and start a game.

That's a good question. However, the better question is when are you going to work for the Bills to fix their apparent issues? I wish you luck and I'm sure you will lead them to the Super Bowl.

Can you find the irony in that comment and the one you quoted?  Funny stuff!

Not true.





Some stories are so boring the they don't have any comments at all. 

[code red]

I just hope that Williams, Collins and Allen are ready to work harder than they every had.  High draft picks often have a hard time making he final 53.  Not saying I don't disagree with the draft order....just keeping it real.

[DeltaBoy]

They will be happy soon enough.

[alohawg]

Has anyone here seen JWill run hard, cut etc... since his return to health?

[pigelow]

u2

since the 70's

[GoHogs1091]

Not surprising.

The Buffalo Bills fanbase as a whole has not been a happy group since those several Super Bowl appearances.

They are a very loyal fanbase though.  Perhaps the 2nd most loyal fanbase in the NFL after the Green Bay Packers fanbase.

[presidenthog]

lol I love how I got like 40 smites for showing evidence that buffalo's fan base is a bunch of whiny idiots! lol it is not like I said I don't like jwill.

Anyone whining about smites shouldn't be talking about others whining. 

On the flip side - I didn't see anything wrong with your post. Definitely not smite worthy. Now this last post is. 

[Pigsknuckles]

Me too. You never know how someone will come back following a season ending injury.

I mean if he had not gotten injured and had played last season.  he was set to have a phenomenal year.

They are typical NY'ers. They think they have superior football knowledge to everyone. They will soon see how good he is.

Glory years of the 90s?  I thought that's when the Bills became the acronym for:

Boy
I
Love
Losing
Superbowls

Nice acronym, so if you were a Bills fan you would rather suck than go to the Super Bowl? Of course you would want to win it, but that wasn't in the cards for them. Instead they had to settle for dominating the AFC.

I guess you can say which would you rather be - a team like the Hogs that has been to the SEC championship a couple of times or Ole Miss still looking in through the window? Rethorical question as who would ever want to be Ole Miss? 

A funny acronym that might be useless in the next year or two:

Completely
Useless

Yes, it would have been great.

[reddogjcss]

They will love JWill soon as he gets the ball! JWill is a winner!
