This. A bigger schittshow than Peterman hasn’t happened in the NFL.

That’s more credit than I’m willing to give. They’ve single handedly destroyed/ bungled the offensive side of the team. The QB quandary is sheer incompetence. Their moves have left the team so talent starved on offense that it will take three solid drafts to compete. They will not get that long.

Weird, and pathetic . But yes, it’s true.

Translation: “ I might actually start Nathan Peterman because I think it’s right and anyone who doesn’t is wrong ;but I respect their right to disagree “

A complete and utter embarrassment. This ( predictable) QB mess they put themselves in is really a fireable offense. Not being hyperbolic; it’s epically bad .

Not really. He was often injured on fairly routine looking tackles while playing WR. He was training for track , and not for survival as an NFL WR. When his Bills contract was winding down , then he got serious about staying in the league. Beathard is much better than Allen at this point. I can say that with confidence. SFs defense isn’t as good as the Bills. The Bills with Beathard would have a decent chance of beating the Packers at Lambeau. They were unable to compete with Allen at the helm.

One of the most sensible writings I’ve seen from Joe B.

Then Bills fans get treated to another dose of Peterman. He probably was expecting to get that $$ for mostly holding a clipboard. Oops!

I think it’s much deeper than just scheme fits when it comes to McDermott’s all-important “ process”. Most NFL defensive Coaches have a preferred scheme whether it’s 3-4 , 4-3, zone vs man etc. Few are truly multiple such as Wade Phillips. New England always finds very specific scheme fit players for their offense, usually small shifty WRs that aren’t “ stars” on other teams. There are plenty of players and no team is built around free agents. The real limiting factor in the process is tossing out talented players that haven’t shown a particular personality or makeup. A locker room has all kinds of personalities and egos, and a Coach needs to be better than that. Coach them up, get more out of them and convince them to buy into what you’re selling. You only get so much time when you take over a floundering team or a franchise spinning its wheels. Tossing out good players for lesser ones expecting to hit on all draft picks is a recipe for failure. Maybe McDermott makes it work but I have strong doubts he gets enough time. The process requirement of heaving existing talent overboard makes it a loser.

Can you blame him, really ? Anyway, I’m sure he realized the optics of not beating out a raw rookie and Peterpickoff would be a career killer. Best to get shipped off to Oakland and backup an entrenched ( for now) starter.

Probably the only option that had played for the Carolina Panthers.

Thanks for clearing that up. Wasn’t sure if that was your argument or not, so I qualified it with an if.

And that’s fine. I don’t need others to agree with my opinion to believe in it. The Woods contract seemed like a lot for a utility WR that doesn’t have an elite skill set, but the FA market for WRs took a big jump. Largely because the 2014 class was very good, but subsequent years have produced many flameouts . Teams turned to FA WRs rather than spending more high picks. I think Woods is a fine WR that does many things well.

Hogan was the most overrated WR on that roster. Probably not. He was never going to be franchised, and he wanted to play in California.

I would. He’d easily be the best WR on this team, and would be targeted often. The only OC that made a concerted effort to get him targets was Roman in the second half of 2015. The numbers were pretty good, even with mediocre Tyrod. It’s water under the bridge now, but I’d still have done it.

That’s because he’s not.

Not worth it. The humiliation playing Nathan Peterman for a full season will bring while he sets the NFL record for INT’s isn’t worth a spot or two of draft position. The best players in the upcoming draft play on the DL anyway.

It sure is. You’d expect more from a professional franchise.

Love the “ at least we’re not blank “ threads .

They certainly haven’t. Ted Marchibroda was the last good one.

But they’re not a dynasty because of Hogan; it’s the guy throwing him the ball. No shame in it as all the greats have thrown many a TD pass to JAG WRs. If you play long enough ( if you’re good that usually happens) it’s guaranteed. Marino, Manning et al threw lots of passes to guys that were just players in the league, not great players.

Tom Brady has thrown TDs to many JAGs in his career, as did Peyton Manning etc. That’s the FA salary structure in the NFL. Not every player is on a rookie contract.Watkins had 8 TDs with the Rams last year, most of any Rams WR. The money got big, but McVay made sure he replaced Watkins with a guy that has a similar skill set. There’s a reason for that.

Strange isn’t it. McVay immediately traded for Cooks when they dropped out of the Watkins derby. He needed a deep threat for that offense to thrive. Reid was more than happy to sign him, even though he has an elite TE in Kelce plus Hill at WR. Haven’t noticed Watkins dropping passes or anything.

Very true. Amazing that the best QB the Bills had with those WRs was Kyle Orton.

They won nothing because they still had no QB. Now, they have no QB and no WRs.
