So, what do you think of this trade?
[UPDATE]: From WABillsfan at Buffalo Rumblings:
Physically gifted, emotionally lacking is the best way I can descirbe it BigBlue
[McCargo] has all the physical skills, and seems to have a knack for breaking the double team and getting into the backfield, he has done it on ocassion for us, but not consistently.
I think he suffers from lack of a mean streak/aggressiveness, it may be due to the fact that he was always more physically talented than his opposition in HS and then College, and he never had to develop that mean streak and motor needed at the Pro level. He can play well for stretches, but he is very inconsistent and can disappear for a (sometimes long) while.
Williams who was our 5th round pick that season beat him out for the job, I think, on sheer motor and nastiness, Kyle likes to hit people and make them hurt. I think John just lacks that mindset, and just isn’t relentless enough. It may end up being that John just needed a change of scenery to reach his potential, then again it may not do a thing.
You’ll see him make some plays that will drop your jaws, you’ll see some plays that leave you scratching your heads, and the rest of the time, sadly, you won’t even notice him on the field.

4th round?!
This is a great trade. Low pick for a potentially good player for our team. I love this move

Bills spent a lot to get him
He was their 2nd first round pick. They traded their 2nd and 3rd round pick to move up to grab him. And in return they got a 4th round.

4th rounder for Macargo
Bill Polian doesn’t do many things out of desperation. And a 4th rounder for this guy sounds about right. Now, let’s see what a change of scenary and John Teerlink can do for this guy’s work ethic.
He’s got talent, but his attitude hasn’t matched the round in which he was drafted. If it did, we wouldn’t have gotten a former 1st rounder so cheap. I wonder how loud Buffalo’s laughing over what they got for him.
Okay . . . .show us you appreciate the team and situation you just found yourself in, Mr. Macargo!!

Maybe Buffalo
wasn’t his cup of tea. It gets pretty friggin’ cold up there!
Plus, an opportunity to play on a perennial Super Bowl contending team might do something for his ’tude.

Good Point!
If he can’t get REAL excited about playing for the classiest organization in the NFL, he needs to go hang out with Pacman Jones and contemplate his navel.
He’s just received the opportunity of a lifetime.
I wish him well, but I now want to see him work his a$$ off and contribute to this team in a big way.

Unlike the Corey Simon disaster
if he busts the Colts owe him no guaranteed money. He’s signed for two more years after this one at less than a 1mil a year. The 4th rounder is all that’s at stake.

. . . . .all that's at stake.
Very well reasoned point about the contract stuff in relation to the round of the pick we gave Buffalo.
I agree that a lot of factors point to this being a potentially terrific trade, plus I do not think BP would even surrender a 4th rounder for a guy that he thought was a goof-off. Polian must believe this guy can play and help this team.
We shall see. Believe me when I say that I am now Macargo’s new biggest booster. Get it done, big guy!!

Great Trade!
We needed something bad, and this might help us out a lot. Can’t hurt. People are overlooking the fact that Quinn Pitcock and Ed Johnson were getting groomed to be the anchors of our interior and they are both gone. This is a great move. Everyone thought that Booger was washed up and he worked out well.

Looks like Ramsey is gone off of the roster and depth chart. I’m guessing he was cut to make room.

Emotionally lacking...
I don’t care if the guy runs hot and cold, as long as the ‘hot’ comes on 3rd and 19 draws that would normally be converted for a first :p
In all seriousness, he’s young, he’s cheap, and doesn’t Polian usually do better with 5th rounders as opposed to 4s?
Im wondering who from the DL will be gonzo now. I’m guessing Muir, since he’s yet to step foot on the active list, let alone the field. A shame, too, I thought he’d do something for us.

Why would they want to get rid of someone? The Colts need the depth.

I beginning to see 2006 flashback in front of my very eyes. the colts d is at the bottom of the standings. the colts make a deal that is eye catching and much the same as the booger mcfarland deal. the colts lose(get game stolen, but the d performed much like that game) against the jags and the entire media proclaims the colts dead. the colts beat the ravens when most people outside of indy didnt give them a chance…..
there is no dominant team in the NFL this year so why not keep this 2006 replay going
