Taylor’s. chronic inaccuracy shinning through.

LOL at anyone who thinks Case Keenum finally "got it" this year. He's a career backup who ran hot on the right team. Remember Nick Foles? Remember Matt Cassell?
And going from TT to Alex Smith is a sideways move, at best.
What's wrong with keeping Taylor one more year - he'll have familiarity with the schemes and other players. He can then be the mentor to our "QB of the future.
Just please god, don't draft Allen.
To believe that going to Alex Smith from TT is a lateral move is just so fundamentally wrong. Smith is a quantum leap or 2 better! The existing actuarial data proves this without rational debate. I’d love to have Smith here next year. Wow!

I have the flu. Despite the fact that I got a flu shot. It’s also my week off from work during the winter. And ....... I still feel great!!

I haven’t seen Ohio State much. And I don’t know his measurables. But every time l’ve seen Barrett play he comes up big in big games against big time competition. He just wins. I’d take him in the third. He strikes me as this year’s Dushaun Watson. Maybe even the second.

Well deserved. If he did tail off near the end it was negligible.

Sorry if this was already posted. Didn't read the whole thread:
Since we're stuck with Rex for now, it seems to me the only way for him to install his defense, which he seems to want to do, is to get a legit NT. In his scheme the D line is predicated on that. Whether in the draft or FA this is what he needs to do. Other posters have more info than me about what's actually out there. This way Dareus and K.W., if he stays can move to DE. Hughes can then be an OLB in the scheme. Fortunately, he may already have the CBs for his scheme.

Too under appreciated. So long.

what's mojo's excuse?
My only reason for posting in this thread is: 1. The OP asserted that Adam Schefter is universally reviled in his profession. 2. The OP asserts that, despite his bad rep, it's his influence with ownership and management of NFL teams is why Marrone is getting HC interviews and not because he is considered a legit candidate. I found this implausible and asked for some actual proof. None was ever provided. That's it, period. I don't know if Marrone will get hired for next year or not. Don't really care if he does or not. I'm a Bills fan, not a Marrone fan. I moved on form the Marrone situation a year ago. I do believe that when he was here he did better than any HC the Bills had since Wade Phillips and thought we were heard in a good direction. I did wonder if the OP had some sort of obsession with Marrone as he started the thread a year after the fact. That's pretty much it.
Now after trying to reasonably discuss the veracity of the OP, not surprisingly, I got a lot of flak which didn't surprise me. When this happens I defend myself. To me this is all just fun trash talking. I have nothing personal against the posters who did this. I'm not sure if some of you feel the same way when I give it back.
But, for some reason I get a personal warning from Beerball for my "trash talk" posts but no one else did. This is why I haven't been on this thread for awhile. I felt like I was on thin ice. Now, for all I know I'll end up getting banned for life for even mentioning the mods like this. So be it. Until this OP about Schefter/Marrone none of my posts were remotely connected to him on this board. I just wish that, when I signed up, the mods would have stated clearly and upfront that Marrone supporters were not welcome. It's hard not to feel that my warnings are less about the tone of my posts but more about a particular opinion I hold. That seems unfair to me but I don't make the rules. I say this because, clearly, in other threads, this type of banter goes on incessantly...which is fine for me. Like I said, I like the banter and don't take as mean spirited. That's pretty much it.

On the balance of it I like how TT developed in his first year as a starter. But to get the big contract, for me, he has to prove he can come up big when the game is on the line and the ball is in his hands. This was his biggest weakness in 2015. The Bills are right to wait until next year. The audition is not over.
-
I don't pity him. I certainly am glad he was incarcerated for his crimes, But his adult life..and death...was tragic.

Another ring is added to the circus.

I really recommend you read what I wrote before you hit the post button one more time.
Please be more specific. I really don't get what you're saying. Just tell me and I would appreciate it.

no one at 62 or 3 years of age says
LOL
like ever.
54 you still can though.
gather yourself man.
i hope he was referencing Trump
and he was. not a shot at our beloved.
that makes two of us.
I even would add Whaley.
But next year i am going to be vewwy vewwy cwitical of them !
If you believe this you clearly know nothing about social media, or anything else for that matter. Good luck with th rest of your year in middle school.

Mojo - Back on topic (I know you want t discuss Doug, but this is about Schefter mostly with a few sprinkles of unjustified Doug-love mixed in). If Doug doesn't get a head coaching job, will you admit that Doug Marrone is not a highly regarded head coaching candidate and Schefter's numerous announcements destroy his credibility as an insider?? Will you admit that Schefter spewed this nonsense at the behest of Sexton (and even Marrone)?
Okay, here is my response. No, if he doesn't get hired there is nothing to admit. But, if he does get a job and seems to really stink at it I will personally start a post where I'll admit I was wrong and let myself get ganged up on again, which doesn't bother me. The only way to answer this is for him to get a job first. The Schefter is pure BS hearsay. Nobody has really proved at all the point of the OP which, on the face of it, is just plain bizarre to me. It's a non issue as to whether he gets hired or not,
Now, if he does get a job and succeeds will you admit you were wrong about him?
Let me add this. I thought the Ryan hire was a disaster waiting to happen and posted this right after the hire. The Pegulas were clearly bamboozled. Donald Trump has proven beyond any doubt that you can be stupid and also be rich. Now this is a it hyperbolc in reference to the Pegulas as I'm pretty sure that, unlike Trump, the Pegulas weren't born with silver spoons in their mouths. But the hiring of Ryan shows they have a big learning curve regarding how to be good owners. I just hope they've learned something from this debacle.
Also, despite hating the hire, I would gladly have eaten my words with gusto if Rex led the team to the playoffs. I'm a Bills fan, period and, since he will be the coach next year, I will root for him to succeed.
Anyway, on to the IMAX to see "The Revenant". Happy New Year to all. I'm sure I'll have some zingers to read when I get back.

It's not a bizarre jab at him and he didn't get run out of town...he QUIT! He informed everyone via text.
Maybe it is a mistake on my part, but I really don't recall you posting in any thread/post that doesn't pertain to Doug, If you are so outraged and defending of coaches who "were ran out of town" why no posts about Mularkey? Why no posts about Donahoe who was also "ran out of town", or Greggo etc...
Yes, it's a mistake on your part. If someone started a post about Donahoe I might respond to it. Referring to ancient Bills history is not relevant to me. Most of my posts recently have been about Rex and wishing he was fired this year and on issues with players like Mario Williams and TT. Like I said, I let go of Marrone a long time ago. It seems you and others cannot.
-
I really don't care about Marrone of Schefter but your posts come off as if they are personal for you.
IMO
Not personal at all to me. I let go of Marrone awhile ago. I didn't start this. It seems very personal to many fans like the OP who can't seem to let it go and seem to absolutely hate the idea that Marrone is widely seen as a top HC candidate so they come up with weird conspiracy theories about why that is without one iota of proof.
What's personal for me is being a Bills fan, period. My wish is that they win a SB before I shed this mortal coil. It's my belief that Marrone was the best chance we had at this in many years. So when it ges brought up in the manner of this OP yes, I respond.
-
Marrone did not get run out of town.
HE QUIT.
WE DISAGREE. I remember my first beer, too. I can also yell but prefer not to.
You seem to be a one trick pony.[/quotThe OP is the one trick pony. Marrone bashing as a lifestyle. LOL
-
The narrative being circulated (by Schefter, then to other media outlets, and as a result to team owners) is exactly that: "Doug Marrone is a hot commodity and you better interview him before someone else hires him". Schefter is a "market maker" in this thing we call "NFL Coaching Searches" and my point (which has become bastardized) is that Marrone doesn't deserve the Schefter kiss of approval....he is whoring out Marrone for his own gratification (and that of his agent).
Mojo can cry, scream and thump his chest all he wants, but Schefter is a showman with very little football knowledge. He's a 6th grade girl gossiping at the lunch table and hopes his buddy lands a job to support his own premature projections of where Doug might fall (in the Top 3 coaching candidates). Did Schefter hear anything about Marrone going to Miami?? Little late now Adam....BOOM!! Gase is the Dolphins coach
According to Schefter's projections, Dougie should have the next gig
No, not any of those things you say I am. Certainly not screaming and thumping. Not close. You still have no real proof about your thread and I think you know it. This is when the personal attacks come in, when you're really out of ammo. I swear, you and some other posters hate Marrone so much that you really do seem to be obsessed and tortured souls about him.. I'll bet you have a little Marrone voodoo doll you stick pins into on a daily basis...LOL.
-
This is where you lose me; I don't really see you posting in any other threads other than the ones with Marrone. You joined as soon as he opted out, and only post when the fans here have a thread about Dougie...You can't call yourself a Bills fan...
I absolutely do post in other threads. Also, note that I have never started a post about Marrone. I only respond to them. So you're challenging my Bills pedigree? I've been a Bills fan literally since day one of the franchise growing up in Niagara Falls. Became a fully informed fan at age 10 in 1963 when the Bills finished second to the Boston Patriots led by Babe Parelli. Shall I go on.
So, you're way out of line calling me out about my "fanship". You know nothing about me. BTW, I started posting here not after Marrone left but after they hired Ryan. At that time I thought it would turn out badly. Also, Mr Fan Police, this season, like every season since 1963 I've rooted for the Bills and wanted Rex to succeed. So yes, I am a Marrone fan. I believe he got run out of town. I respond to threads like this because it's just another bizarre jab to taken at him because many fans just can't stand that he is seen around the league as a top HC candidate. I'm very happy to let the Marrone thing go but I can't let a thread like this one go by without commenting. Are we clear, now? Do I satisfy your criteria to be a Bills fan?
So, now let's hear your pedigree to see if you pass muster.
-
It's very easy to talk yourself into a narrative. I doubt these owners and GM's scrambling to hire the best HC available are wasting their time interviewing Doug Marrone as just a favor to the agents. But hey, if you assume that's true, everything else fits!
An absolutely good post. Well said. Your are a voice of common sense!
-
Sounds about right. Would love to see a real journalist (like Wawrow) break a story that Schefter is nothing more than a mouthpiece for agents with a spotty track record...hopefully it would result in "Unfollows".
So some journalist whom you to claim has a widespread crap reputation nevertheless is influencing the front office of multiple NFL teams about who to hire as a HC? Really? If true this is a big deal. Again, proof. Specifically show us documentation that this has or is actually happening...and not just some other person's opinion, even another journalist because that is just hearsay
Please, get over it Mrs. Marrone. BTW, how did Schefer report Marrone's hiring at 2AM? Boy, that man never sleeps on his sources.
Well that really proves the point, doesn't it. Brilliant. You must be on your high school debate team. Damn, you're good!
-
You probably know it, but Schefter's reputation among real journalists is that of a money grubbing publicity whore, whose inside scoops are only sourced from Sexton's agency.
I think more of the press are calling him out on it. As they should.
Proof?
