I just got back from Boston. Also went to Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard. Wore my Bills hat the whole time, Even went to Gillette stadium. I was looking to get into it with *pats fans. Gotta say, they were very nice. Not what I was expecting at all.
I don't get why everyone thinks we will draft Mayfield. Mcdermott is always preaching about character and building a certain culture in the locker room. Mayfield does not fit the profile of the type of player he's looking for and if we did draft him I would see it as a panic move much like they did with EJ Manuel. I know they are high on Allen. If he's not there or decides not to come out look for Mike White out of E.Kentuckey.
Darnold , Allen , Rosen and Jackson no doubt realize how desperate teams are for a QB. If each of them plays well this year they will be projected first rounders. I'd be willing to bet they all declare eligible for the draft.
I just got back from vacation. There was a large group of Steelers fans at the resort I stayed at. I asked them about this kid and they said he's for real. They were hoping the Steelers would draft him to take over for Big Ben when he retires. Don't know much about him but check out his throwing motion on deep balls. Looks like Brees. Didn't the scouts say he lacked the arm strength to be a starter in the NFL too?
Zay Jones makes a lot of sense considering his college receiver coach is on our staff. I hope we go defense with our first pick and grab him in the 2nd.
Whaleys plan is to get Cutler. His 2 biggest criticisms are trading up for Watkins and over paying for Clay. He feels the moves would be justified if he had a QB who could get them the ball. Not guaranteeing that he gets Cutler but I know thats the plan.
Granted it was 5 years ago but he's still coaching. It's pretty obvious the players want to go back to a 4-3. You're not getting Phillips or Schwartz unless it"s as a HC. Fewell has the experience, got himself a ring and did so by shutting down the Pats when they were putting up record numbers on offense.
I agree Buffalo will be a tough sell for any high profile candidate because of our front office. I felt for Lynn today. Does anyone actually believe Lynn wouldn't want his best option at QB on the field for his first game as head coach? Coaches aren't concerned with the business aspect of the game they are only interested in winning. This is Lynns big chance to not only show our organization he is ready, but the other teams in the league looking for a head coach as well should he not get hired here.
