Honestly, at this point I would rather see Shady sit 3 weeks and KNOW he's ready to roll than string it along. This team has too much talent to press one player into service at 70%. Heck, Percy could even fill in more than adequately at tailback in a pinch.

My biggest problem with the article is the primary focus on numerous items that don't relate to the product on the field: 1. Extending McCoy might be a bad idea and strap the team in the future, but it is hard to argue it is not an upgrade ON THE FIELD. 2. Drafting Watkins at the cost of a 2015 pick might have been the wrong move because of who we missed out on, but ON THE FIELD his is talented and promising. 3. Drafting Manuel might have been a mistake, but he isn't being shoehorned into a starting position he doesn't deserve despite the fact that showed some promised in Year 3. ON THE FIELD, Tyrod is the starter and to ignore Greg Roman's successful past with a similar style QB is intellectually dishonest. Bringing up the EJ pick three years ago has no bearing on this team's upcoming season. In fact, that Tyrod sat on the bench for several years in the NFL suggests his performance may surprise relative to his 2011 college stats. 4. The casual dismissal the "the defense is excellent, but how much better can it get" ignores that the defense is amongst the best defenses of this century for the past two years. ON THE FIELD, the defense will help this team win games. Maybe the Bills will be 4-12, but this article doesn't even try to tackle the actual product ON THE FIELD.

I love that he has a blend of humility and ego. Part of Rex Ryan's appeal is the swagger and how that translates to the team. We are going to straight up bully some teams this year and I love it, The other aspect of REX RYAN being the coach that seems to be lost on some on this board is the heat he take off the players. Yes it REX REX REX in the media coverage, but eating dog biscuits and jumping out of planes means the microphones are out of the faces of the players. No division, no distractions. Rex may not be long for Buffalo, but I am supremely confident that right now he is the best coach for this team.

Figured this was a good thread to make my first post. I liked this trade for McCoy from the second a friend texted me the news. I only read the first 17 pages of this thread, so maybe this has been discussed: I think the success of Kiko (and to an extent Bradham) is a product of the D-line. It's easy to rack up tackles when you are clean because Marcell and Kyle are playing in front of you. For instance, Ray Lewis' effectiveness was extended by having Ngata soaking up blocks in front of him. Kiko was undersized to play in the middle and his contributions were going to be made by speed and agility . . . but he tore his ACL . . . again. This trade could end up being very heavily one-sided for the Bills, because we know what Shady can do. We traded Kiko to the one person - Chip Kelly - who may overvalue Kiko more than the collective TBD. I say well done Whaley. Another take: wasn't Kiko the extra pick the Bills swiped from the Rams when they traded up to pick Tavon Austin? So Whaley got EJ Manuel and Shady McCoy with that pick? Again, I say well done Whaley. Go Bills!

That was exactly what I was going to post: the same arguments could be made against Schwartz as DC. I think Trestman would make an excellent addition.
