McGahee plays well against the Patriots. Against the rest of the league, not so well. This is why I think Patriots fans overrate the kid. Everyone in Buffalo prefers Travis Henry. McGahee reminds me of Curtis Martin a little bit, but without the explosion. Early in Curtis's career, he rarely fell forward and got the requisite three yards. Curtis was a master of the old, 0 yard gain, 1 yard gain, then 10 yard burst, which is why he had a 3.9 average in the early years. McGahee is very similar. If you don't have a decent QB who can convert 3rd downs, your offense will stall with McGahee. Buffalo is very down on the kid.
Another huge Donahoe mistake, compounded by Drew Bledsoe, Mike Davis, JP Losman. Think of that, 4 first round draft picks and you have squat to show for it. Embarrassing. And this is the guy Kraft would have hired were it not for Belichick.
