  2. I never assumed that our defense would be as good or better under Rex - in fact, I had a feeling it would be like Gregg Williams dismantling a great defense to implement his own scheme, and failing miserably because the personnel didn't match the scheme. Sadly, I was right.

     

    As for the offense under Dennison, it's hard to predict, since he wasn't the play-caller under Kubiak. But it looks like the offense he runs is pretty compatible with the BIlls' personnel.

    It wasn't just a restructuring: it was a pay cut. That more than the 5th round pick tells me they don't think he's the QB of the future. And I think that most people agree that they'll be drafting a QB in the 1st next year.

     

     

    McD said that they'll have an open competition. I think TT will win it, but it doesn't mean he'll be handed the job.

     

    Fair enough - it was a pay cut. But they could have cut him altogether, which would have been the smart thing to do if they were certain that he's not the future. It's probably somewhere in the middle: "Tyrod, we're setting the scene to draft a QB in the first round next year. Give us a reason not to."

  4.  

    Beyond that, they've essentially said that TT isn't the Bills' QB of the future. So it's Peterman or Cardale, or maybe even Woodrum. They will get every chance to start. And if TT wins again, they'll draft a QB in the 1st next year.

     

    Restructuring his contract and drafting a QB in the fifth round doesn't mean they think Tyrod isn't the future. It just says, "We're still not sure about him, so we're keeping our options open."

  5.  

    I respect you.

     

     

    Exactly. Bledsoe was an elite quarterback. He was the first pick of the 1993 draft; a Pro Bowler; a Super Bowl QB; the face of the franchise. He flicked his wrist and the ball traveled 50 yards on a frozen rope.

     

    To think noodle-armed, bowl-cut Brady beat Drew Bledsoe out in practice is silly. The dude looked like he had just stepped out of his mom's SUV from rec league soccer practice to run the 40 at the Combine. He was 2 years of backing up Bledsoe away from being at a desk job for the rest of his life. The start of his career was the perfect storm. From his first start, to his 5th Super Bowl ring, Brady's career is the most improbable series of events in the history of the NFL. Possibly the most improbable series of events in the history of America. Haha.

     

    If I believed in the supernatural, I might think he went down the the crossroads and made a deal with an unsavory character.

  6. "Now that the draft has ended, the Bills can move on. The only problem is that the new G.M. may not have hired the fairly new head coach. Which could eventually set the stage for even more dysfunction, culminating in the new G.M. wanting his own coach unless the new coach ends up being stronger than the usual G.M."

     

    So, its a lose-lose scenario, unless you already had a secret agreement with your future GM.

     

    Or you hire a GM who gets along with your HC.
