You don't think anyone would have objected if we took two rookie QB's in the same draft? I do and I would have - especially if it's their first draft (the coaches don't draft the players).
He's smart as evidenced by his decision to come to Buffalo. I agree with the above posters that he saw a great line and must have thought if I can be a part of this I can leverage myself for future positions. In saying that I also think he may decide his best opportunity may be to stay and wait to see what happens here.
They are 5-4 with Sanchez so I'm not sure how great that shows how Kelly is doing with Sanchez. I do think he is slightly better and I also think the Bills are the better team.
So yes I think the Bills coaching staff could go 5-4 with Sanchez and they wouldn't need Chip Kelly to do it.
I know you're being sarcastic but the game was important just search comments by the players. Their opinion on whether the game was important to win is the only one that matters.
The guy has issues. I think this clearly shows his heart isn't into football at this time in his life. I find it to be incredible when most athletes play until they are forced to stop for one reason or another.
I have to disagree. I don't think it's find a Chip Kelly and done. Kyle Orton has such limitations it has little to do with innovation. It's a tall order to find a QB.
Probably but it should be an organizational decision. Obviously when the GM - President and owner disagree on these things it can deteriorate their relationship and we see it all the time. There's other times when they disagree and feelings don't get hurt and they can still move forward and work together. So sometimes it plays out that they disagree and the President and Owner will say we disagree but hey ultimately it's your decision so go ahead - and other times it creates a riff and the GM is told no you're not doing that.
I hear what you're saying and I think you could get a talented guy like Polian to take a job like that. The analyst job Cowher has and certainly a job like Gruden's I don't believe would be enough to draw them away. Those jobs are obviously rare and pay very well.
I'll have to disagree with you on the President of an NFL team being a "cushy" job. I bet they work their a$$ off. I'm sure there's some incredible perks but I doubt it's just moving chess pieces around then sitting around.
I know what you mean but I'll probably pay extra attention to rumors this year because I think it's possible Pegula does something creative. Don't get me wrong I think it's just as possible he does little to shake things up at least this off season.
I don't think Cowher is going anywhere. An NFL analyst job on a major network is a fantastic job. The networks have figured out a way to pay these personalities so well that the thought of going back to the grind of coaching becomes less and less enticing.
I agree now trade him. He's off to a terrible start and offers us nothing compared to what we could get from a first round pick in this coming draft. Be bold!
I hate to pile on but most experts and most fans think we are very close to being a playoff team and we're young. Why the hell would trading our best WR who is having an excellent rookie season coincide with that?
So essentially you want to trade him for a first round pick and we end up with nothing from this years draft in the first round?
If you look at his stats in 14 games in his last season in Buffalo he threw for 549 yards and the next season in Oakland he threw for 3,228 yards in 14 games. Clearly he could not throw in the Buffalo wind.
If you end up with a player like Sammy every other year you will be an outstanding GM and build a fantastic team. I would give up a first rounder every other year in a heartbeat if they were all Sammy Watkins.
I think Marrone has every right to play whoever he wants and to care more about this game than working on what's best for next year. Unfortunately for him Whaley and the rest of the Bills management has every right to not be happy about that. Not that one game of Seeing EJ for one game would prove much but it could show something.
