Of course CJ has multiple limitations. My main concern is the offense has to limit his touches because the probability of him getting injured increases. He just cannot carry a load. In saying that if he's on your team it seems you could find ways to use him and that's what frustrated me most of the time. His homerun ability is without question and as the article suggests he's special in terms of acceleration. In summary, if he's on my team I find a way to use his explosiveness - if he's a free agent I don't touch him because I have to devote way too much time figuring out when I can and can't use him.

There's a million different ways to look at this and there's so much criteria you could look at it makes my head spin. Most would agree that if you have a top QB things get expeditiously easier on coaches to win. It can make coaching mistakes easier for a team to absorb - so if you don't have a top QB those mistakes become much more difficult to overcome in a given game and season for that matter. The front office missing on draft picks, failing in free agency, getting the club in salary cap trouble all contributes to coaches ability to succeed or fail. My point is we have a capable coach. Rex has a vast amount of experience and has been around NFL football for a very long time and his knowledge is not debatable. So IMO all things need to come together. We can win even if we solve the QB situation in the short term because Rex has the ability to lead a team. If we can solve the QB situation long term we can become a perennial contending team. My message to fellow Bills fans is enjoy the opportunity to see what this fantastic coach can do. We all know everything may not come together but if a lot does we will be a team that can win. It's much harder but there's examples of teams without a top QB that make runs or even win the super bowl and that's our situation. We have an extremely talented roster that I'd argue is as loaded as any of the great teams in the NFL. I believe we have the right coach for a team without a proven QB that gives us that chance to be one of the few teams without one to succeed.

Why what's wrong with him trying to get some traffic? He did it in a similar way a normal poster would so pretty smart and he's not doing anything out of line.

Yeah but he makes crack about loyalty.

I can't believe what I'm not believing.

But I don't think you're taking this into account "I would rather he being looking at the best he can not just those he know."

I like the idea. It would appear that all the question marks or perceptions you have about a veteran could be answered by seeing them on the field.

I don't think anyone's worried. It's just interesting to see what tweaks are made in terms of personnel. Does Kyle become a situational player or does he do exactly what he's done in the past where he is just so good at what he does you can't take him off the field. Does Mario get asked to drop back? Does a player like Spikes no longer have a role and resigning him doesn't make sense? Where exactly does Preston Brown fit in? We haven't seen Kiko in an outside role because he got hurt and his rookie year he was asked to play inside? It's just conversation man not necessarily panic.

Could you imagine the same scenario but leaving Marrone in a learch? Now we have Marrone, Hackett and some LB coach from a donkey team that Doug knows as our DC.

I agree totally. If our defense were to perform like it did last year under Schwartz he'd most assuredly be up for head coaching jobs. I can't imagine being happy with Marrone as head coach without Schwartz. To me that's what most fans should focus on instead of just losing Schwartz alone. Great job by the Pegula's to take the opportunity Marrone gave them by getting a sure fire head coach.

If Schwartz had one more year like last year IMO he'd be up for head coaching jobs and we'd lose him anyway. I just didn't see a way Schwartz stays around for 5 years, so I'd rather have Rex Ryan than be left with Marrone as head coach without Schwartz.

Yes and that 4th down lineman would be Hughes or if they get a 5 technique as you suggest it would effect either Kyle or Marcell. So that leaves 3 linebacker spots. My point is you would need Spikes on running downs to shed blocks and sniff out the run. I think Preston could serve in that role but I think Spikes is better suited for it with Kiko and Nigel on the either side of him. I just don't think Nigel, Brown, and Kiko would be fighting for 2 spots, they'd be playing a lot and if Spikes is retained he'd serve in the same role as last season. In otherwords I don't think Mario will be a LB he'd be identified as one of the down lineman, although I do think he may be asked in certain alignments to drop back but then Hughes would be down with 3 LB's on the field.

JFF = Johnny Flag Football?

This doesn't make sense to me. Mario and Hughes are both linebackers and wouldn't be one of the 3 down linemen? If they do find a 5 technique I believe that bumps Kyle not turns Marion into a full time linebacker. I think Spikes would clearly have a role manning the middle on this team.

Look at the dude in the grey suit running after him. "I'm coming boss".

I'm not sure Schwartz follows Marrone.

You'll always give up more points when your offense doesn't score or move the ball. In other words maybe including time of possession or number of possessions with each of these years would be a better indication and could also make the yardage allowed look unreal.

By splash do you mean belly flop?

This video isn't the reason I feel this way but I'm extremely happy to have Rex. No doubt he has a presence and the culture is going to change for real this time.

I do not like this and at least for the time being I don't think the players will either.

I heard Marrone will be his QB coach.

I think with an excellent QB Rex would do some real good things.

For me it's simple. IMO we upgraded at head coach and it's hard to say that's a bad thing.

It's the greatest idea I've ever heard.

I always thought they wanted great weather and a big city to party?
