Well....were due?
maybe the football gods wanted to prepare us?
-
The three people making the most important football decisions for this franchise have neither the acumen nor the background to be doing so and likely never will.
The Pegulas and Russ Brandon are probably a long term disaster for both of our sports franchises (although I'm not as hopeless for the Sabres).
McDermott has a legitimate chance to be a very good NFL coach but if he doesn't get a handle on the holier than thou, develop some humility and recognize that he's not always the smartest person in the room it's only a matter of time before it all blows up in hi face.
When it does we'll be right back to Duncan, Lady Macbeth and Wormtongue making football decisions that they are eminently unqualified to make.
I'm not making any bold prediction, but is it possible Russ Brandons days could be numbered?

I'm about as optimistic as I can be under the circumstances.

So did Levy.
Very much so, and while the Bills have never won a Championship its very possible having an overabundance of good character was the driving force that helped carry the Bills to 4 straight Superbowls.

Peyton in his final year...
Good answer row
There are a few examples, not many, of players whose arm strength noticeably increased over the years. Brady had decent arm strength (low end but just good enough) when he started. Over the years he got significantly stronger. Now he can gun it anywhere. Not a lot of examples of that.
See above. He's one of very few. Not sure I can think of another. He went from barely enough to pretty strong. If Peterman is as strong as Brady I guess he has a chance. I haven't even seen that yet.
I was waiting to see if anybody makes this comparison because If I remember correctly Bradys arm strength was in question despite showing excellent anticipation and accuracy.

I don't think we can actually fire the Panthers personnel.
lol.

No, that's fine. Thanks for not insulting me for raising the question. But honestly, I would think any coach but Rex would probably act in a similar way. I'm a huge Andy Reid fan, so the fact that McDermott worked under him has me optimistic, but i'll still wait and see. I think he has quite a bit a talent to work with, we should compete this season.
No it shouldn't. There shouldn't be competition at QB, FB, RB, WR(1), TE, LT, LG, K, DE, DT's....
One of the most intelligent posters I know has asked the same question.

One of my all time favorite sports stories is Bobby Knight had a player on Indiana U named Landon Turner who was a good player but not great. The Celtics were his favorite team. After the season was over Turner got in a car accident and was paralyzed. I think for life. Bobby Knight, without telling anyone, called up Red Auerbach of the Celtics and convinced him to draft Landon Turner, which he did with the Celts last pick in the draft that year. Just a great thing that Knight and Auerbach did for the kid.
thanks for sharing that story with us.

i know McDermott is not Rex, that in itself is a great thing, but I don't get all the love for him specifically. Maybe I'm missing something, but what has he done that we know of , not that we think he has done(like make draft day trades?) He's just not Rex , so far at least.
fair question,
McDermott comes across as very sincere, determined and focused in my humble opinion. The ground work McDermott is laying, calling out the team for leaders to step forward, distractions removed ftom the locker room, all in an effort to get his football team more focused. I like the steely eyed no nonsense way the Bills new HC McDermott carries himself and how quickly he shrudges off a member of the media looking to stir up trouble.
with all due respect i'm kinda big on 1st impressions,
I know your probably looking for a better answer klos63...

I'm happy for Chad Kelly and I Hope he makes the most out of the opportunity.
-
Big Taylor fan,
I'm also a big fan of competition at the QB position.
McDermott continues to impress...
My money is on Peterman starting opening day, he can see the field and operate an NFL system. Tyrod doesn't know what he's looking at and doesn't see his receivers. Tyrod improvises and runs around, Peterman will release the ball on time and operate within the system and will win the favor of the coaches is my best guess. We'll see! Go Bills
I think its very possible
-
You know what if this is how McDermott drafts players i won't be mad if Whaley really is fired next week. These are the types of QBs we should be going for.
I like drafting a QB that you know has what it takes upstairs to excel in the NFL.
-
Milano is going to a safety LB hybrid
My thoughts also,
MCDermott wants some big bodies roaming the secondary
-
The board/mod/admin (and posters IMO) are doing a great job handling all the extra traffic.
Thanks, its been very enjoyable keeping up with the draft here.

Gruden is the conductor of the Peterman hype train
I like watching Gruden working with young QB prospects.
The impressiion I get with Peterman is upstairs where it really counts, the guy gets it.
-
Question isn't about arm strength, but about grip strength.
Dude gets inaccurate when the ball's wet. Case in point: the Miami game. He can't hit a sideline throw to save his life (or win the game)
Decent size hands
-
I really like how this draft is going
-
Sounds like you're a little nervous...
competition at the QB position never hurt anyone
-
....thank God......flushing my Kohler again FINALLY worked.................
hahaha
-
right
lol,
ok, some people happy
hey I'm happy,
-
I actually like this pick a lot. Could be a solid backup with some starter potential.
this might help keep everyone happy
-
Not $10 million better. I guarantee you we will be a better team putting that kind of money into other positions.
Probably not even better for what McDermott needs from the position.
White is at the top of the list in a very good draft class at at the CB position. A leader of men, an excellent tackler.
White is hand picked by McDermott to fit his system...
-
Just because we don't like it doesn't make their thoughts any less valid. I am leery of quashing dissenting opinion just because the majority disagrees with it. If it turns toward a bothersome crusade then we'll address it; until then I think folks should have the freedom to vent on a weekend in which many are very emotionally involved.
thanks for saying Simon,
RD 5, Pick 171: Nathan Peterman (QB) - Pitt

Is it just me or is Peterman playing with zero pass protection in this game?
