If Rob was the problem, then Rex was too for allowing his brother to be the de facto DC.

I appreciate all the work but with respect you still aren't comparing apples to apples. You are comparing straight numbers and not looking at context or the way NFL offenses have changed in 8 years. In 2008, Big Ben's 5th year in the league, he threw 3301 yards. He threw 17 TDs to 15 ints. Do you know where that ranks him in 2008? In yards he was 14th in the league. With 15 TDs he was 15th in the league. Now let's look at TT. In 2015, Tyrod passed for 3035 yards with 20 TDs and 6 ints. Those numbers put him 23rd and 21st respectively. See the difference? The league was different. In 2008 there were 6 Qbs that passed for more than 4,000 yards. There were 3 Qbs who passed for more than 30 TDs. In 2015 12 QBs passed for more than 4000 yards and 11 QBs passed for more than 30 TDs. Again the same holds true for 2009. In 2009, Big Ben's 6th year in the league he threw for 4328 yards with 26 TDs and 12 ints. Those numbers rank him 7th in yards and 10th in TDs. In 2009 there were 9 QBs who threw for 4000 yards and 4 passed for more than 30 TDs. In 2016 Tyrod was 25th in yards and 24th in TDs. 2016 saw 13 QBs pass for more than 4000 yards. Although there was a drop in Qbs that passed for more than 30 TDs. That can kind of be explained with Tom Brady only playing 12 games and Derek Carr being hurt, when he was 1 TD away from 30. I just think you can't do direct player comparisons for different eras. Players need to be compared to their peers. SAYING ALL OF THAT... I think the Bills should resign Taylor. He led a top 10 offense for the Bills and if they had even a mediocre defense, this team is in the playoffs. I don't think Taylor is the answer long term, so they should keep looking. But he can certainly help the team get into the playoffs.

No offense but that's not exactly an apples to apples comparison. Why not compare him to Rodgers who sat for 4 years? Or does that not help your argument?

Personally, I think it's the decision of whoever ends up being the coach.

Yup, it's entirely possible that Tom Coughlin thinks Tom Telesco is a dickhead, John Elway is full of **** and Jed York doesn't know his ass from his elbow.

Nope. And his name hasn't been attached to any other team besides the Jags and Bills, with the Bills being only speculation.

He's interviewed for 1 job and I honestly think it'll be the only one he interviews for. I personally would prefer he weren't the Bills choice.

No, no, you have me all wrong. I was so completely embarrassed by the press conference that Whaley gave, I just couldn't go to work.

#WhaleyTheWhisperer

Polian already turned down the Pegula's last year when they asked, so what's changed? Seriously? THEY FIRE HIM.

Yup. Candidate, usually indicates that they will be or have been for an interview. Harbaugh is not going for any interviews. Peyton is not going for any interviews. Gruden is not going for any interviews. Cowher is not going for any interviews. They aren't candidates.

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that no one was going to interview for the Bills job because of all the dysfunction.

Then why are they letting Whaley still do interviews? Why haven't they fired him? It does them absolutely no good to keep him around to do the coaching hire.

You mean Polian couldn't possibly be making these comments to prop up a friend of his for the job? Is that why in the same interview he suggested Frank Reich would be a good coach? Let me ask you this, if you knew a company was a crap place to work or "dysfunctional", would you suggest to a friend to go work there?

Cmon, they are doing an interview today. That tells you all you need to know about what they think about Whaley. There minds haven't changed If they didn't like him, why let him continue with the coaching search? Why not bring in Polian, hire a new GM? These theories are getting more and more ridiculous.

Exactly what I thought. If all Polian can say is "He's a good guy. He's a good QB." why the hell does that qualify him for a QB? Sometimes I can't stand the gentleman's club the NFL is. They all have an agenda and want their friends and former work colleagues to get jobs, whether they are good or not.

According to Joe C, it's not even that Lynn doesn't want the job, it's that Whaley might not want him. But it's obviously so predictable because ya know, there isn't a thread on here from this same crowd saying that Whaley is just going to hand the job to Lynn. Either way it happens, this is going to get negative spin.

Ok.

Yea, because Jed York is obviously not a meddling owner. Haha. Give me a break.

Not what I was referring to. They asked Whaley repeatedly about the Rex firing and what input he had. And kept going and going and going.

Haha awesome. And as much as people point to Jed Yorks PC, those reporters didn't all gang up and ask Jed why he didn't fire himself 20 times. They didn't ask him 30 times if firing Harbaugh was a mistake.

Haha. Perfect.

You mean you wouldn't just spend billions on a company and then sit back and do nothing?

It was a complete waste of time. It could have been more but some of the local guys just could not get off the way Rex was fired. Then, what do you know, Terry confirms that's how he was fired.

And he promised last off season to fix the defense, after promising when he got hired to have a better defense than 2014. Yea, 2 years was enough.
