I'm pretty certain that the HC has some input into who they keep and who gets paid. The Giants chose to pay QB Jones 35 million a year with 82 million guaranteed. They chose not to pay RB Barkley who just ripped them a new one and let's not forget that they used a #2 overall pick on that RB in 2018.
Right now Joe Flacco would be a better choice at QB if they had kept Barkley. The Giants made their bed and now must sleep with the dogs they chose. Daboll is partly at fault for the situation the Giants are in right now. 2-4 and they drafted a talented WR for the QB...who stinks!
Did Daboll set up an intricate, elaborate passing offense in Buffalo? Yes! did he set up any kind of viable run game to take pressure off the QB? Hell no!
I can recall Josh Allen running for his life in many Dabol-called games with sometimes 40+ pass attempts in a loss. Look what that HC is doing to his QB in NY right now. The Giants did"t want to pay Barkley so he went off on the Giant's defense for 17 carries and 176 yards in Philly's win 28-3. Meanwhile, Daniel Jones with little run game behind him went 14 of 21 for 99 yards.
I realize that many Bills fans are uncertain about Bills OC Joe Brady. Buffalo FINALLY now has a power run game that actually works along with a potent passing attack!
There is a real reason as to why Brian Daboll is going to get canned and I'd put him right up there next to Bill Belichick as a loser HC without his great QB.
Welp, the Bills really, really know how to shoot themselves in the foot...
kinda sad actually... in getting dominated by a team they should be dominating
The difference is the genius they have at HC / OC in Andy Reid. AND only Andy Reid!
The Chiefs limp through the season each year to get to the playoffs where they dominate, save one SB. (My Fave)
Tom Brady is the GOAT, the only quarterback I've ever seen who can play catch with the jugs machine.
I know I would!
This move is huge for the Bills. Now they no longer need to try and scheme the offense around not having a #1 WR...because they now have one!!!!!!!!
45.3 catch percentage... This could be due to his craptastic QB in Watson
53 targets, 24 receptions, 250 yards, 2 TDs, 11 first downs. He currently leads the Browns in receiving.
