    Ralph Wilson rips Tim Tebow pick: "Denver panicked"
    Posted by Michael David Smith on April 23, 2010 3:44 PM ET
    NFL owners aren't usually in the business of critiquing other teams' draft picks. But Buffalo Bills owner Ralph Wilson ripped the Denver Broncos today for their decision to draft Florida quarterback Tim Tebow.

    "Denver panicked,'' Wilson said. "He's a good player but we had no interest in taking Tebow. We were not moving up to take Tebow."

    There was a belief in some quarters that the Broncos picked Tebow where they did in part because the Denver brain trust thought the Bills were looking to move up and take Tebow. But Bills G.M. Buddy Nix said that wasn't true, and now Wilson has said it even more forcefully.

    Wilson also praised the player the Bills did take, Clemson running back C.J. Spiller.

    "I think he was the best player in the draft,'' Wilson said. "We've been dull for 10 years . . . no excitement. We've got to create some excitement.''

    When it's time to negotiate a contract, Spiller's agent may remind Wilson that he thought Spiller was the best player in the draft.

    That sounds a little more like sour grapes than anything else.

    Who knows. I'm confused about the pick, but honestly, if another team beat me to the pick that I wanted, it covers my ass with my fan-base to say that we didn't want the guy to start with.

    I'm calling bullshit. Wilson is just mad because we took the player they coveted in the 2nd round. There were numerous rumors about them "going hard" after a move up to grab Tebow. We beat them out with our offer to the Ravens. Wilson should shut the **** up about who we took. If he's not upset and thinks we panicked, why is he even saying stuff in the media? Oh yeah, it's because he's PISSED that we took him with our 2nd pick and they didn't.

    He probably planned on renaming his stadium to Tim Tebow stadium. He had a sign all made and what not...then Denver does this. He's just bitter.

    There were reports coming out of NUMEROUS places that the Bills were going for Tebow. It's not like McD just pulled that out of his hat.

    they actually were trying to move up for tebow, ralph wilson is just so old he can't remember back to last night. . . .
    “When we do find that guy, we’ve got to have the continuity on the offensive side to where we can train him and develop him and get him there. This is our fourth offense in probably three or four years. Quarterbacks need to be developed. You don’t find one ready-made. We got to have a solid system in place for when we do go after whatever guy it may be, a young guy or a trade or whatnot.”
    - John Elway

    Whether or not they wanted him is irrelevant. We panicked. lmao

    How is that panicked? That's usually how it goes in the draft. You want a guy, you get reports that someone else wants guy, you jump to get the guy. Every draft day trade and jump is a panic then.

    Trading up is now panicking. Interesting theory.










    There was a lot of panic yesterday, apparently.
