Whaley was the guy pounding the table for Mahomes “allegedly”. What human in the position Mcdermott was in goes qb with a the scouting department getting changed?

I think you only do that for a sure thing on offense. Shannahan and Mcvay would really be the only ones worth it imo. Too big of a gamble for a first time head coach. Way more to HC than play calling. Idk how willing Pegula would be in making a move of that nature. The systemic change in culture, the draft capital and money required would be too rich imo. Though another year not making it to the final Sunday I would be open to drastic moves. Is Mcdermott Dungy or Ried or is he Marty Shottenhimer?

I wouldn’t bet my career with Whaley. Yes, Mahomes is great. Using the capital gained from that trade was used to get Allen. That is a wash. Mahomes wasnt setting records with Charles Clay, Andre Holmes, Kelvin Benjamin, Zay Jones and Robert Foster. Its a butterfly affect that will never play out, but Mahomes doesnt come to Buffalo with Reid, Kelce and Hill.

Sensitive? Idk about that. Passionate for sure. Comparing Beane to Veach he hasnt won enough. Comparing Beane to the previous 20 plus years before his arrival its night and day. Building a consistent playoff team and contender is not the norm. Cincy made a run and have been going in reverse since. 49ers and Rams have been really good and really bad. Chiefs, Ravens, and Eagles are the closest to Buffalo in consistency over the past 6 years. They also have been well run franchises for over a decade. Beane and Mcdermott don't get the national credit they deserve. Turning a NFL wasteland franchise to a top 5 Superbowl contender annually. Mcdermott is always on the positive side of analytics. As a defensive coach he gave the ball and franchise to a young Allen and let him go. Was using cover 4 and 2 deep safety for as long as Fangio but he doesnt get any of the credit for it. Not winning the ultimate prize diminishes their historical impact nationally. Beane carries that with him. When doing interviews that can come out.

Mcdaniel hated Giesicki due to his blocking. Wait til he gets a load of Waller 😂😂🤣. Should have paid Jonnu. Very good fit in the system. Able to play the Juszczyk or Kittle role in the scheme. Dolphins look to be heading towards an implosion imo.

It’s what helps keep the fans engaged. During the draught it was fantasy. Now with Buffalo playing all time slots. Makes the other games more exciting. Full Sunday slate leading into the Bills game is an absolute treat to watch. Little fantasy football, little daily fantasy and a little prop or parlay helps build into the Bills game. That is why stand alone games get so many views compared to everything else. That little more excitement added to an already exciting sport only helps its viewership. The books working with leagues makes the ability of players or league employees to make money off it extremely difficult. Likelihood of a scandal is very low. Yes, gambling can be an issue for some. No different than drinking or smoking.

My Stefanski rant. Stefanski doesn't get nearly enough blame for dropping Mayfield in the trash for playing through a shoulder injury. Putting all the blame on Baker for the lack of success that season opened the door for the Watson debacle. How he is able to look like the savior while also creating the problem is disgusting to me. Baker has played as a top 5 qb for the past two seasons. Stefanski ran him off. He needs to wear that but he is some how a sympathetic figure.

Look what Mcvay did going from Geoff to Stafford. I would see that 10 fold with Allen and Kyle. I promise Kyle would kill for a guy like Stafford or Allen. Mcvay was at the same villa in Cabo or Stafford is likley a 49er. Thats why they gambled on Lance. They were looking for a guy who could attack all parts of the field. If Buffalo had a better play action game Allen would pass for 5,000 yards with the current run game they have.

I completely disagree. Allen is a very good precision passer. When nothing is available he makes plays out of structure. Earlier in his career when pressing he would rely on that too much. What makes Shannahan and Mcvay top of the top is their ability to scheme open guys. Yes, Allen would have significantly better numbers throwing to more open wrs. What has limited Shannahan in the playoffs and big games is what the Qbs do when the windows arent as big and the reads are not as easy. That is what Allen has made his career on. Limiting the amount of times Josh needs a cape is the job of the OC. The better ones he needs it less the worst ones he needs it more. End of Daboll and Dorsey he needed the cape most plays. With Brady he needs its less and with Shannahan he would need it even less but throwing a bit more.

McDermott is a supremely under rated coach. I would swap him for Kyle Shannahan. Him paired with Allen is guaranteed a Superbowl. Outside of that I stick with Sean. How Stefanski is considered a better coach boggles my mind.

Don't waste it…. Big hole, blocked up Cook scores. I don't have the same faith in Johnson and Davis. Finding backs capable of doing so is easier said than done. That is what the never Rb crowd wont admit. Very? Singeltary and Moss are not close to the player Cook is. I like Davis in tandem with Cook but would not want him as the lead back.

Top UDFA’s get fully guaranteed.

1 and 2 are a product of modern NFL. Ty Johnson becoming Kevin Faulk is also a pleasant surprise. The current third down talk is similar to the goal line and short yardage of prior years. When given the opportunity he thrived. Cook is good out of the backfield and able to play out wide in formation. The good oline is why having a player of Cooks ability is important. Get 50 yards a touch down. Same hole with Johnson and Davis is first and 10 from the 22. Thats the difference and aspect lost in the rinse and repeat. If they dont resign him a day 2 pick will be used to replace him. One costs a bit more money but opens up an asset that enables another premium position to be improved with cost control.

Cam was also more mechanical over the top. Allen is much more rotational. Farve, Rodgers, Marino and Elway kept their arms through out. Cam style added with the shoulder surgeries diminished the path and power he could consistently generate. Allen taken better of himself feb-Aug and limiting his physical runs is how he extends his career. Another reason why paying Cook isnt a bad idea. The contract brings expectations and game plan involvement. More Cook runs less Allen power.

He asked him to commit full time to basketball. Coleman picked football. That was the point. Izzo saw the talent and had Coleman make the choice to concentrate on football or basketball. Mo Allie Cox played basketball at VCU not football. UDFA without football experience.
