26 I don't know you're football background, but bagging a guy so early on and insisting you are right imo is the one who is too excited, Kid looks decent so far and who knows. Still think Bill should draft a QB in 2018 regardless, but slotting Peterman as a bkup just shows me you like your opinion and stick to it no matter what. At this point I'm at show me, but let it happen before you go all in one way or another.

He won't last.... depends if Eli stays, if he gets a QB that he doesnt like than he'll throws a diva and sits himself.Odell Beckman is going to go down as one of the greatest.
He does things no WR can do. Not to mention already has multiple records.
Otis was something... and again you forgot Cliff Branch
-
Honestly, the best thing we can do is let Nate start every game this season.
If he looks great, no need to draft QB next year..highly unlikely but still.
If he looks bad? Great! We get the #1 overall pick.
Win win.
To be clear, I referring to Mahommes and the kid from Clemson.So, prematurely as this all is... we are passing on a potential franchise QB in the 2018 draft because our fifth rounder looked solid against third team players. Literally, in less then a half of football in a pre season game, the decision is made at the most critical position in all of sports.
I like it!

Rice for sure, but for Pure Speed.. Cliff Branch... before Rice there was Steve Largent and Fred Bilitinikoff (sp?) And the predecessor to Moss was Harold Carmichael. These guys did it during the clutch and grab era.
-
I think bagging him at this point is irresponsible and short sighted. Thank God you are not a coach. I have no idea if he will work out. But not gonna be judgmental on any of these guys if they can hit the broad side of a barn and not throw to the other team. Im just saying its way to early, but go ahead with your click bait.You really want to like him and that's cool. He looks like Meh to me. Getting a real QB prospect in the '18 draft is where I'm at.
PS im ok with drafting in 18 and or 19 and on till Bills can actually establish a number 1 QB.
-
He didnt look better or worse than the two guys above him everyone is fawning over. In fact I thought he looked off the DBs better than those two. Yeh they have arms, but the way they locked on receivers shows me they all have a long way to go and who knows. Just saying predictions at this point are stupid till we see if these guys can overcome the weaknesses they brought with them to the league. IMO strength is the easiest to overcome. Field awareness is more innate. Peterman seems to have that and finally do any of them have that fire to take it to the next level... honestly dont know???
-
You keep repeating that line... when all of us at this point are just guessing. I saw a lot of good but do I know if he project as a bust or a 2 or 1... NFW. At this point his development looks good but we shall see... by the way how many pull up can he do... who cares.Peterman was okay. Didn't impress or stink it up. He just does not wow me. If he beats out Yates, that's not really saying much.
. Watson looked zoned in on his receivers and would have had 3 picks against a real defense based on how he locked in on one receiver. Again nfw anyone can accurately project these guys nor if their coaches can develop them properly.I think by all Training Camp accounts the Bills messed up and should have taken Mahomes or Watson at #10.
-
The Sabres... they should be better and very entertaining. New D additions and some young blood likely to take the next step with a coach that emphasizes pushing the pace..
-
Agreed they weren't making playoffs, its still a show me time, but gotta like the effort. Again we shall see. This year though Bills should just make the games fun and discount tickets to certain games. Not gonna happen, but this is going to be a developmental season.This team wasn't making the playoffs with or without Watkins this season. We are loaded with high end picks next year. This team is being built the right way for once.
-
There is going to be some pain... to paraphrase the Sabres former GM as he started the Tank. Oh wait... it's been 17 years...
-
Ok so its a modified Tank... stockpile as many pics as possible, trade TT and Shady for high picks #1s and sign CC, TT to Denver and Shady to an NFC West or Central Team. Either use a couple of these picks to move up in next years draft or use Shady and one of the #1s to move up to grab a QB. Either way, I think McBean have a plan and they are executing it step by step. Doubt though we will see anything more before the beginning of the season.
-
Again, I think the trade may help, but still in show me stage... they, the Bills, need a number 1 QB, and until then, or if these trades help them get one, I'm more of the opinion... meh. That being said, hecku of a risk by McBean. No guts no glory. As McDermott said he didn't sleep last night... can understand why. The question then becomes, with Williams running well, do the Bills consider offers for Shady and if so what would the asking price be? 2 firsts, a 1st and a player?

golf is a dying sport. courses are trying to attract members here with freebies. I heard everyone playing is over 50 or 60. nobody younger. LOL.
It was always an old man's sport, only golfer in my family was my grandfather... we have had a group of younger guys invade for a while, but its going back to its rightful placean old man's sport... so by definition its dying.golf is a dying sport. courses are trying to attract members here with freebies.

Finally tomorrow nite begins the show me phase as to wheather the Bills will be craptastic or a total shiite show. Predicting an exciting run to 8-8 but at least it will be fun to watch with some upside to the future.

Yeah, Sammy has a long way to go to even carry Andre's jock... Wow forgot how really great he was!

You havent changed... stop just stop.Fight. In. The. Streets.
The meaning of those four words is pretty clear to me.
Big difference between political fighting, grass roots organizing, door to door and standing up for your rights against the opposition and takiing a gun out and shooting. Both sides talk this way, thats not advocating violence.

Please dont represent retail political commentary as incendiary. It only encourages nuts.Hm.
PS Know the park on the North End of ALEXANDRIA NEAR Potomac Yards. About a half mile from where I used to live in Warwick village.
All my best for those Congressmen, staffers and officers, part of the reason I left DC after 21 years.

Once again our military intelligence at work... How stupid can the Airforce be. Let the kid play then make him come back and coach and recruit when his playing days are over for say 2 years. This bureaucratic BS at its finest.

Get the garbage can ouuta there

Archie Manning in the Hall, if so he ranks up there... as on futile teams..
Missed it but that and Barry were my first thoughts.1st one who comes to mind for me is Archie Manning. Yes, only a College Football HOFer, but he was absolute magic on arguably the worst team's ever 15 year start to their franchise. His lineage speaks for itself.
-
He was a member of the no name defense young un..,...kind of sad....always liked the guy....terrible his son took that hit in college as is a quadriplegic...........Nick was a member of the "Killer B's"...............

Disclaimer: This is a sincere attempt to understand what others see in McDermott. Not trying to start an argument, as I don't think we have enough info for a meaningful conclusion right now either way.
But I am really struggling with this guy so far. And I am an optimist by nature and have pretty much talked myself into every single Bills coach (at least during their first preseason) over the past four decades.
Here's what worries me:
-Never says anything remotely interesting. Buttoned-down corporate speak all the way. And I know there is value in keeping your thoughts to yourself, but this kind of say-nothing style doesn't necessarily mask deep thoughts. It often means the person actually has no insight. The way he communicates publicly completely reminds me of Russ Brandon. That is not a good thing, in my opinion.
-Seems to have read a few too many leadership books. He seems like he is trying to manufacture himself into a leader through notes and aphorisms and process. I am beyond skeptical of that approach in any organizational context. He doesn't seem comfortable in his skin to me - even the way he fidgets around in press conferences. He seems like a guy who loves the idea of being a leader, but hasn't discovered his own authentic approach. Feels like he's playing dress-up. (Again, screams Russ Brandon.)
-Seems technocratic - thinks success will come primarily through control, detail, process. All well and good at times, but nowhere near enough to manage the seething, human, multi-variable complexity that is any football team.
-Role in the Whaley affair is unclear, but optics do look like a bit of a backstabbing power grab. I admit this could be TOTALLY off.
Here's what I like:
-People he's worked with seem to like the guy.
-Reportedly does a good job of connecting to and caring about players as individuals.
-I have mad respect for Andy Reid, so I like the tree.
I admit, my negatives are superficial and based on my own cursory observations, whereas the positives are substantive and based on the experience and testimony of people who have worked with him.
But right now I just have the feeling he is in over his head, but has impressed the Pegulas with his organized approach, attention to detail, and stoic wrestler manner - none of which will make him a good coach IMO.
I really hope I'm wrong, and I'm totally prepared to fall in love with the guy as things play out. But I can't remember feeling this cold about a hire. Even Marrone who came off as a total tool early on, somehow convinced me he might have something.
Again agree with most of what you said and seems to be a good evaluator of talent based on the draft... still begs the question can he coach and no he doesnt have 3 years, two at best.... option on third with the talent on this tean now if he can coach?

Ok say its your opinion, (not assessment)... sounds like your a professional... , bagging him as not a starter. yes you are. just use the words IMO before you say anything or something like based on I saw and think... and PS... I disagree on Manzel from a talent standpoint... from a checkup above the neck NFW was his psychotic mind able to handle the NFL.
