  1. let me get this right, youd rather win a coupla more games, have a worse draft position, and probably lose Watkins at the end of the season anyways while getting absolutely nothing in return?

     

    watkins is oft injured, with a possibility of having great upside. he hasnt proved it yet, hes going to want huge money, and we dont have a QB that can use him correctly anyways......so ya, should of kept him....smh

     

    u guys realize that the stack the box and make Tyrod be a QB defense that everybody uses, has been that way since Tyrod played his first game right? With or without Sammy, it doesnt matter. overpaying for a WR when u dont have a QB is pointless.

  2. im confused, was not overpaying for a backup RB that hasnt done all that much mean the difference between missing and making the playoffs? Got nothing against Gillislee, but if people think hes worth that kinda cash to watch most of the game from the bench, then we really have problems here.

  3. as much fun as it was to watch the Pats fail on D last night, that long td to Hicks wasnt Gilmores fault. As stated above (very well i might add), that was on the safety

     

    Not shy about stating how much i could care less about Gilmore leaving. Not worth overpaying for a soft tackling CB. IMO he didnt want to be here, got the same vibe as when Byrd bolted. Getting same vibe from Dareus presently.

     

    Not a big surprise, guys want to win. Something we dont do. Till we do, guys like Gilmore will come and go. Better off letting them walk than overpaying while they phone it in.

     

    Wish him no luck, but no harm either. Hes just a guy that we knew for a while. Now he barely exists to me.

  4. Again, the only reason Peterman lasted into the fifth round was his suspect arm. That was a fantastic pass. But it didn't show that he can throw hard enough, no. Close, and it was impressive.

     

    Did you know that he was drafted in the sixth round?

    i certainly did. IMO QB is mostly between the ears. Knowing where and how to put the ball into your playmakers hands > raw physical talent. How many guys with cannons for arms burn out after a few years? Bradys scouting report was terrible, and most likely warranted. He wasnt great at Michigan, he didnt look like an NFL QB bodywise. The guy worked at it, but if all you have is the physical, and no football smarts. well, wont be playing long. Clearly Brady has the smarts. He gained the physical side later. Plus he made a deal with the devil. :)

  5. I have said this many times on here. The problem is not with the coaches or the talent, it is with the ownership.

     

    A team should have a fixed plan and follow through with it. Ownership has failed to do so.

     

    If Pegula had brought in qualified consultants ( like some called a Football Czar ) when he first purchased the team to fully evaluate the assets of the team (the talent), and determined how to best use the existing talent and what talent should be retained and what talent to be released. Developing a LONG Term strategy for the team and then followed it, we would be a much better team today. No constant turmoil, no constant rebuilding, just tweaking to get the best talent, management , and coaches.

     

    If it was determined the team was best as a 3-4 or a 4-3 defense, a running team, a passing team, a man to man or a zone team, it should have been built according to that long term plan.

     

    Rather than hiring a GM and a coaching staff who would bring in their own schemes and require the talent to be rebuild it to fit their “way”, the team should have had a plan and hired the best management who would be willing to use the existing talent and follow the selected schemes according to the existing master plan. Using the draft and free agency to tweak the roster to fit the plan and build a better team accordingly.

     

    Instead of having a new GM and HC come in and require a complete 3 year rebuild every couple a years and hiring different talent to fit the "latest" plan. The talent would not have to keep relearning new schemes, the roster would not have to be constantly churning just to fit the new schemes. The talent and roster could just be tweaked to get better.

     

    No wasting of draft picks like Ragland based on a 3-4 vs 4-3. No Ryan trashing a top defense just so he could do it his way. If it ain’t (sic) broken , don’t fix it. No new HC or GM coming in and bringing their completely different scheme and requiring yet another 3 year rebuild. Someone new comes into management or coaching who is all in on the same master plan, or they are not hired. Just a tweak getting rid of the players who were past their peak and bringing in better replacements at their position. Just tweaking the master plan to keep up with the changing NFL conditions, not totally redoing it every year. Consistency!

     

    It is the management that is the problem, not the talent or the coaches. Ownership creates their own problems and unneeded turmoil by their own choices.

    agree with all this, its very possible that ownership doesnt understand the actual game of football, schemes, how its played, etc. If, that is the case, then they need a football czar. Everybody has to be on the same page to be successful.

  6. Charles Clay should be "that guy."

     

    He has been grossly underutilized. His RAC ability is awesome and he's a bad matchup for most LBs/DBs.

     

    His stiff arm on the safety(?) in the last game was awesome. First down! The dude can make plays and he's being paid to make plays.

    need a QB that can utilize the talent Clay has.

  7. we keep goin through the same mess every coupla years. i understand what the new regime is doing, not against the moves, but they better get the time needed to actually build their vision.

     

    we havent had a franchise QB since Kelly, well, we havent tried to develop one either. New coaches, new schemes, constant turnover. I get that coaches/GMs want "their" guys. We dump QBs faster than we can possibly figure out how good they are, usually because he isnt "their" "guy". Find one, develop him. 2yrs or less will very rarely find you a franchise QB.

     

    3yrs, thats the minimum. If we dont give these guys 3yrs to get set up, then its a fail before it even started. I understand all the fans not wanting to wait that long, trust me, im one of them, but logic takes over. Brady cant play forever, very soon the AFC east will be up for grabs. Will we be in position?
