Yes, let's let Cleveland jump ahead of us so they can take their future QB. How generous Bills fans are. If Buffalo does this everyone involved should be fired on the spot.

Dak was an NFL rookie, Tyrod had been in in the NFL for 4 complete seasons prior to his 2015 campaign. You can't compare the two. If Tyrod Taylor was as good as all that NFL teams would have been lining up to pay him the original contract. None stepped up.

Who is his NFL comparable?

The Air Raid Offense and the Kansas City Chiefs offense... Which brings us to the issue of multiple reads. I understand people have a concern about the air raid offense, but there are two things I’d say in response to this. First, the simple truth is that watching an air raid offense often feels eerily similar if you’re a Chiefs fan. Andy Reid has incorporated a ton of the quick, easy reads the air raid offense is known for into his attack. Seriously, watch a couple of Mahomes’s games. You’ll see at least 20 play calls that look oddly familiar, I promise. My point is that NFL offenses as a whole (and Andy Reid in particular) aren’t nearly as dissimilar to the air raid offense as they were 10 years ago. Because of this, what is much more important to me is whether the quarterback in question (in this case, Mahomes) can go through reads when the first read isn’t open or when pressure strikes. The great news? This might be the area Mahomes impressed me the most. MNchiefsfan http://www.arrowheadpride.com/2017/3/24/15022108/know-your-draft-crush-patrick-mahomes

It appears that your board will not be used by real NFL teams.

Incredible!!

Can mods just merge this?

We shall see. The draft will provide more clues.

That is supposed to an example against what I am proposing?!

We saw the con last year when the Bills spent 3 picks on an inside linebacker. If McDermott is the next Bill Belichick and can think of next year and not just this year sign me up.

They were covering who the Bills should take at "pass catcher" today.

It comes down to what McDermott believes. You are on the right track with that. Most NFL coaches are on a short leash. There are a few NFL coaches that believe this doesn't apply to them and in those situations they can excel with roster responsibility.

Different coaches will have more or less job security. There is no such thing as true job security as an NFL coach. But if a coach believes he has job security there is a better chance he will take a long view with respect to player management. Belichick and Carroll were highly sought after coaches when they started their respective jobs. Why didn't you mention that? They were not average Joe coaches! The best of the best do have more job security in a first time job than a McDermott who stepped into a Buffalo organization known for quick hooks to coaches.

Could you try that again in English?

It's a message board. There will be opinions different than clap and cheer. Stop being so dramatic if someone disagrees with the sunshine and rainbows view. Please don't write phrases like this "when provided 2 if not more". Ouch.

Job security. I already explained that. The Dolphins are not a model franchise. The Falcons are a wait and see. Kyle Shanahan and the offense carried the team, not Quinn.

If this is what passes for an argument from the BBMB folks color me unimpressed. Make a point and stop rambling.

We are really arguing if Dak is as good as Tyrod Taylor?

If dramatic means not expecting to go to the playoffs then sure, I'm dramatic.

We just hired the coach. My solution has been offered.Hire a real GM and don't let the coach make those calls.

You are defending a power structure that doesn't work. Belichick and Carroll are in unique situations. McDermott needs to win now. That's what he is doing. The long term health of the Bills means nothing to him.

He was willing to come to Buffalo, I'll give him that. Offense? Tried to bring the best of the best but they didn't like the Buffalo job, settled for Dennison. Defense? Leslie Frazier, some guy he was buddies with back in the day. No NFL team wanted him as DC the year before, now he's running our defense. Special Teams? Danny Crossman can keep doing what he is doing. Innovation? Where? What's so innovative about playing zone coverage and not blitzing?

Yes, when coaches got more powerful they wanted more roster control. And time after time they failed. Belichick and Carroll are unique. Most NFL head coaches can't think more than 1 year ahead. I would rather follow the Broncos, Steelers, Ravens model for success. Pegulas have sold you a bill of goods.

What difference does it make now? The Pegulas got their man just as they did with Rex.

The Bears? What have they done? The Dolphins roster is almost as bad as Buffalo. 49ers? Ok, they are terrible. If you use the Patriots you have to explain how Mcdermott compares to Belichick. He doesn't.
