BADOLBILZ

I'd put your mockery of the concept of Jason Peters being a future Hall of Famer a few years ago in the TSW Hall of Fame of dumb takes. I'm not sure you know the difference enough to be a judge of what is and what isn't........but you are identifiable with dumb takes, I'll give you that.

Why you hating on your boy Willie Taggert so hard? He had a better record than Norvell thru the same amount of seasons...........and he got fired with a quickness. You and the mouse in your pocket knew Norvell wouldn't get fired after a 3rd losing season but that's about it. Did you also think he coached Paxton Lynch or did you just not want to stop @LeGOATski because he was on a roll?

What difference does that make? It's a big advantage being able to play 6 seasons of college football like he and Michael Penix have. Having a 4th year sophomore QB start becoming solid saved Norvell's job.

Paxton Lynch didn't play for Mike Norvell. C'mon bro......you are clearly a casual football fan. Go back to your OP. Norvell didn't make Memphis into a successful program........that was Justin Fuente. They were 19-6 in the two years before Norvell arrived. Fuente was hot property and jumped to Virginia Tech. Norvell took over a set-up program and then he went 38-16 while he was there. He then took over Florida State and lost for two years with talent that was good enough to be a lot better. It clicked for Jordan Travis midway thru his 4th season of college football and now he's a refined 6th year passer. Is he "that good"? Yeah, too win the ACC with a very deep roster full of upper class-men, yes he is.

In fairness, we don't know how much accountability he takes with the team. There are countless times he's said "it starts with me" when addressing failures. I go back to the Nathan Peterman debacle when he apologized to the team for making the change at QB. The team then bounced out of maybe the worst 3 game stretch of football in franchise history and upset KC on the road on their way to a 9-7 finish. I don't think self accountability is among the bigger concerns with McD.

True........they should have some good options if they choose to change HC's. I will also add a "probably" to my point about leaving LA. Things can happen. I am critical of such absolutes...........but I do think he will retire and go into broadcasting before he leaves the comforts of LA for a coaching job. There was speculation he might quit coaching entirely after he won the SB.

I wouldn't use the Shanahan comparison with Daboll......first off, to correct you, Wade Phillips replaced Reeves and Shanahan was more than available at the time.........so it's not that they just concluded it was Reeves who should have been canned, not Shanny. When Shanahan eventually replaced Phillips he had just won the SB as the OC of the Niners. He was the hottest commodity in the sport. Daboll is extremely cold product..........he is proving just how bad he can be as a HC in NYG. The floor is the basement with that guy at the helm and it would be highly, and unnecessarily risky for an organization like the Bills to settle for that level of coach when you have a QB in his prime.

Yeah.......he ain't leaving Hollywood for another coaching job.

While it would be ill advised of them to pay attention to social media of any kind.............there are plenty of instances where coaches have been caught using burner accounts and such to POST on social media let alone just lurk..........so you continue to be pretty clueless if you think there is "zero chance" that a coach isn't following social media about the team. That's akin to insisting they don't read the newspaper 20 years ago. Ridiculous take.

College football is full of guys that turn around small schools and get elevated to big school jobs. If Norvell had missed on the QB(Jordan Travis) a couple of years ago he'd be walking the plank right now. Do you follow college football closely?

He's a shill. He invests a lot of time in telling fans that they are wrong to quiet the critics of the organization............this helps preserve his job with the team. But when the organization makes a turn that undermines the sales pitch he has to have a response. Perhaps he thinks anger makes it seem like the organization was pushed into making the decision by critics. Either way........as a shill you gotta' take anything he says with a grain. Under the cover of a little bit of time he can just do what he did with Tremaine Edmunds...........talk him up and shout down critics when he was with the team..........then say the same things as the critics did after he left the team.

He just has bad hands. He "claps"........keeping his hands moving at the catch point.........because his timing at the catch point is a tick off so he can't cushion the point of the ball into a soft landing like most professional WR's. It's who he is and it's the NFL so surely he knows it's weird that he's gotten that far with high school level hands.

It didn't land the first 7 times you've said it, WEO.

I don't see it AT ALL. He's just a solid amateur football coach who recruits well and now he's at a top 10 destination for recruits. And additionally he could demand his contract be torn up and turned into a new 10 year $120M if he reaches the playoff..........and Florida State would do it. At the NFL level he'd have less appeal than a number of current OC's............and none of them is getting anywhere near that money/security. Just a complete non-fit in pro football.

Different era. More violence, more fumbles. Bigger discrepancy between good, middling and bad teams. Always been an important stat but with talent spread more evenly around the league by ever enhanced parity measures, now turnovers make a bigger difference. For reference that Rams/Steelers SB after the 1979 season featured the two teams that turned the ball over THE MOST that season.

You understand that insurance companies are dealing with MILLIONS of individuals and potential outcomes, right? There are like a dozen or less notably valuable veteran contracts on most NFL teams........so the field isn't large enough to provide decisive results. Teams can afford to analyze each individual contract situation very closely. Also, no every player doesn't sleep in a team supplied hyperbaric chamber.

72 grade per PFF 5th highest on the defense..........which is notable for him he's been a tick late all season.

Probably the best game of his career, tbh. He clearly got the message that the intent was to replace him with Douglas..........which would have really put a crimp in his plans to score in unrestricted free agency. Fortunately for Dane, Benford further injured his hamstring(as foreshadowed this week by Shill Capaccio).........so Dane will likely remain in the starting lineup and Rasul will probably move into Benford's role as the press corner.

My track record when against the community is stellar. Sadly, the largest % of the active posting community are people who say they don't watch the rest of the NFL much........but are on the edge of their seat at the trade deadline to see if one of the 50 or so opposing players that they've heard of gets traded to the Bills...........and then complain that they've never heard of Rasul Douglas. Those kinda' people blame the OC whenever anything doesn't work offensively..........then it turns TSW into an echo chamber when struggles persist.........regardless of the real, and usually much more nuanced reasons why.

Well when you run the spread you turn into dink and dunk by nature.........so as they lean more into spread and uptempo don't expect to see longer routes from Kincaid.

You had it at 1. The rest is irrelevant with regard to Sharty..........because of 1.

You can't attach the letters "WR" to anyone who is averaging just 8 yards per catch. Nobody who lines up near the LOS should be averaging that pathetically low of a ypc. Kincaid is the second target but he ain't a WR2 at this point. And why isn't Josh astute enough to intervene with regard to things that don't work? He is the most powerful person in the organization, he handpicked Dorsey and needs to be more accountable for the results.

Receiving talent. People VASTLY overrate the import of the OC. Aaron Rodgers won 2 MVP's with Nate Hackett as his OC. Even the most famous offensive minds of the day.......Reid and Shanahan........have proven to be greatly limited by the QB and/or receiving talent during their careers.

If they can find a better HC, specifically and offensive mind who can push Josh Allen to be more invested.

Yep Josh may soon be crossing the intersection of "f*ck around all offseason.........and find out what it's like to have to learn an entirely new offense". Great QB's make bad OC's look good all the time. Hopefully a change would be a wake-up call to QB1. Dorsey was his hand picked choice because he didn't want to have to learn a new offense. My guess, based on McD's fascination with outside zone run games, is McDermott would have hired a Shanahan disciple to replace Daboll if it weren't for Josh's input.
