White Linen

I wouldn't want Royal. I just don't see what he would bring in addition to having a nagging injury he can't seem to get behind him.

I wish I could get my Filet Mignon cooked exactly between medium and medium well every single time I order it.

Teams wouldn't stumble into the playoffs with the Patriots in their division. You'd see the same thing happening in those other divisions. We've been awfully unlucky and IMO unfairly criticized. You're numbers are wrong because they should be calculated based on only the opportunity to win a wild card birth.

Don't lump me in with you.

Never said you don't have the right, you do, but in the process you're making a fool of yourself. Trying to help you.

You know what's worse than "Billsy"? Posting nearly 7,000 times about something you don't like and pretending they're the fools.

You can't even get the schedule right.

We'd just lose him the following year to the Patriots offer sheet.

No question we should sign Blount. Obviously the total opposite runner that Shady is but if Shady missed some time - I'd feel a whole lot better with Blount being the starter than any other RB's on our roster.

You're just realizing McCoy is a great RB?

Cragg was a solid player

He also knows there's no way anyone can verify he's wrong.

I'm with you there bud.

Excellent point

I agree with Alaska Darin above - that it's impossible to compare QB's across era's. With that said I would take Brady because we've seen what he's done in this era vs thinking Kelly could - which I do. The better question - which the point has been raised above: Would you take Brady or Kelly back then - the answer is exactly the reverse, except... I would take Kelly because I've seen him do it with the pounding allowed vs thinking Brady could still survive in that era - which I don't.

I get where you're coming from. I guess we just have to accept their explanation and roll on. He explained that he didn't get involved in the hire of Murray and regrets that - and Whaley was onboard when he bought the team. I think they initially wanted continuity and kept them in place with extensions to prove it (statement making). Now upon reflection they want to be the ones to decide on the GM's and Coaches. Of course we don't know if this will work but it's their plan. If it doesn't work then we absolutely know and they will too - that it was their decisions. They want a clean slate and I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt that this is truly the first fingerprints of total autonomy on the decisions.

This is such garbage. How convenient to act like you have it figured out with the greatest QB of the era. They have gone through and have made a plethora of changes. They have two constants that are so good, the other changes are irrelevant. That's how good hoodie and Brady are. The content of what he's saying has some truth to it, but it's elementary not some enlightened thought. The better example of this, IMO, is the Bengals. They believe they have a good coach and they stay steadfast on that belief and make adjustments to their roster. They are also an example that if you don't have the best QB of the era, continuity doesn't always translate into winning. I would have much more respect for Kraft if he would just say he's been fortunate. Instead he bloviates about how he's figured out how to bring ego's together and all that other crap.

That's how I read it too.

Disgusting post - shame on you

Whaley was a crafty GM that worked hard and smart at finding players.

When you can't think beyond emotions you get posts like this.

Wow, that's crazy. Why would you take it out on the kid? He didn't pick himself. At this point you should just want him to feel welcomed and hope he proves worthy of the trade.

It's not all that crazy to me. Hey coach after a long and grueling process we've decided to draft Mitchell Trubisky. We have all the confidence in the world you and your staff will develop this young man into our future.

Exactly, that's why it's not good practice to dog your GM to your 43 year old first time head coach. McDermott should have been surprised by this move as much as anyone. This way the Pegulas give themselves more options in finding a GM.

The thing I don't like about this is based on reports and how McDermott has seemingly taken control - Pegula must have been talking bad about Whaley to McDermott and others. I don't like that and shows a real amateur hour approach. I'd like to see these things come as a surprise - clearly showing you're being respectful and professional as an owner. Saying your organizations need structure, discipline and communication - then you tell everyone Whaley and McDermott get along great. Next thing we know McDermott is stepping all over Whaley's authority and job - gets fired - and "that's how you win". I liked Whaley and I liked Murray but I wasn't beyond the understanding they might need to go - however the way these situations were handled was pretty ridiculous (especially Whaley). I've been a big supporter of Terry and Kim and their right to run the clubs how they want to and I believe they should be involved as much as they want to. I'm seriously concerned though that they may be getting close to developing a reputation where legitimate FO talent may not want to work for them.
