Well I am glad that we have had such a great GM these past four years. Otherwise, we might have missed the playoffs by even more games.
Seriously, people think that some here pile on to TD, but these are often the same posters who continually piled on certain players on this team. I fail to see why a President and GM who has full control over personnel, coaching, etc. cannot be held accountable but back-ups are human garbage worthy of derision.
I am by no means a TD hater, but I am far from satisfied with his performance. You can talk all you want about how our struggles were due to bad coaches and bad players, but TD was the one who brought all of these people in. Nobody's perfect, but many others in his position have far-surpassed him. You can talk about the salary cap that he inherited, but that excuse wears thin when we get to the end of his fourth year here. Other teams have been in terrible cap hell and have rebounded well. Why haven't the Bills?
Again, we missed the playoffs the past four years, have people forgotten this? If you talked to Bills fan in the beginning of 2001, would they have accepted the prospect of only gaining a winning record in year four and at that point still out of the playoffs? I think not. I am optimistic about this year, but I cannot be satisfied about TD until the team is actually successful.
