If there is any sort of coaching blunder that costs the Bills in the post season or if they fail to get a running game going at least by next year, I'm going to start thinking this way.
Much of this fan base just automatically assumes Josh will play at this level for 10 more years. It's not realistic. Even Ben and Cam had running games to lean on.
Too much is being asked of Josh and it will eventually wear him down. This isn't up for debate.
I think McDermott is a good coach and will be a round for a long time, but if this season doesn't go well the spotlight will be on him.
Obviously, there's a ton of football left to be played.
One thing I've always liked about McDermott is that he isn't resistant to change. He learns and grows as a HC.
Despite this regime's defiance to prioritize the RB position, (Cook?) they're seemingly as good as it gets. Having Josh makes things easier, of course.
Evans and Lattimore have never liked each other. This has been simmering for years. It's not finished either.
I have no problem with these types of in-division rivalries between players. It's old school and relatively harmless, but these aren't the optics the NFL wants, so...
