    Tom Clements: The Better Choice at Off. Coordinator ???

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    Posted

    For me Tom Clements is the guy I want brought in to lead the offense.

     

    Here are my top three OC candidates

     

    Top Choice:  Tom Clements

    Former Bills and GB OC; developed very close relationship with Aaron Rodgers and helped lead him to two MVP awards; very productive. 

     

     

    2.) Mike Shula

    Former Car OC; familiarity with Sean McDermott and understands his offensive philosophy; very productive with Cam Newton as his QB.

     

     

     

    3.) Mike McCoy

    Former Den OC; got solid production out of Kyle Orton.

     

    ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

    Sounds like a foregone conclusion that the next guy at OC will be Mike McCoy or Rob Chudzinski, but I really hope if available, Tom Clements is another name that pops up in serious discussion.

     

    Think it would be a solid hire. Let's see what happens.

     

     

     

    P.S.,  before you go ripping at my candidates, keep in mind that around this time last year, my endorsement of Sean McDermott as next Bills head coach came to fruition.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Don't Draft a QB, Package The Picks For This Instead

    Every fan with a lick of sense knows that the draft is a shot in the dark. "Can't Miss" players flop all the time, even among the highest picks. And QB disappointments are among the most hit-or-miss of them all. Nearly every year several are picked high in the draft, and nearly every year most of them disappoint. The real successes are few and far between, as a look around the league shows.

     

    One of the major reasons why FAs at all positions are chased after is that they've proved what they can do against NFL competition. They're generally a better bet than the unproven rookies. "Trial by fire" and all that. Still, it appears the Bills are considering packaging several of their picks this year (and maybe from coming years) to move up to get that elusive "franchise QB" and get themselves out of what Whaley called "Quarterback Purgatory." But who are the "can't miss" candidates that would make this worthwhile? Darnold? Rosen? Mayfield? Could be they will each be HOF-ers by the end of their careers but history is against that.

     

    Another path is to aggressively court a FA QB, which might include Cousins, Smith, Keenum, Bridgewater and a few others. These are all experienced NFL QBs and to my eyes, they all have serious flaws, flaws that lead me to think the Bills will not be greatly better with any of them and might be worse with some.

     

    So what to do if you're Kim and Brian and Sean, with a genuine need at QB, a bunch of good picks, several apparently quality QBs coming out of college, along with several serviceable pros? Here's what I lean towards: Don't package a bunch of picks to go after a college QB, and don't bust the bank to sign a "maybe he'll be good" pro. Instead, take those picks and, if necessary, some of that money you're considering spending on a FA QB and make a deal with the Colts for Andrew Luck. The owner seems to have fallen out of love with him, actively talking him down. And he owes a ton of money to a guy he doesn't like anymore. The organizational situation doesn't inspire confidence that the Colts are about to turn things around any time soon, which must be clear to Luck by now, which should make him amenable to a trade.

     

    A couple of first round picks, maybe more, and the willingness to take on Luck's contract just might make Irsay say, "Dilly dilly." I would certainly favor this path over using those same picks on an college QB, and I'd rather spend the money on Luck than Cousins, Smith, Bridgewater or any of the other QBs likely to be available. What do you think?

     

    I hate the idea. 

     

    Hate the catchphrase "dilly dilly" even more.

    crappy watkins lost it for the rams

    short and sweet, Romo, (who i said was great after week 2 and now all finally seem to agree with,)  said, along w Nance, that theyd both have like to have seen softy sammy go back and jump up for the ball on a long pass late in the game.  Romo especially kept talking about how sammy didnt really try.

     

    Regardless the ball went right through his hands w the playoffs on the line.   Later in the endzone he also couldnt come up w the 4rth down pass right in his hands, because there was a tiny bit of contact.

     

    So glad that soft excuse for an elite wr is gone.  so glad we netted a second, EJ gaines and basically benjamin for him.

     

    Even a real QB cant get the ball to softy sammy twatkins.

     

    So your problem is what again? 

     

    Why are you extra-excited speaking on Sammy Watkins, a player who doesn't play for the Bills anymore or affect the Bills org.?

     

    What the f--- is "4rth" on the rampage guy?

     

     

    Yannick Ngakoue accuses Incognito of racial slurs

    He might have thought he heard a slur and given Ritchie's history, figured that's what he said. 

     

    And anyone can make an accusation.  You need to back it up with evidence. 

     

    How exactly would he back up something that he said was directed at him on-field during gameplay?

     

    Provide the voice recording device he had secretly taped to the inside of his jersey?

    Because he got called for a personal foul and wanted to look like a victim to distract the multiple hits to Tyrods head. People love to lie and get others in trouble in this day of age. The harrassment claims... This racist claims. It's really sad honestly it's ruining peoples lives. Just look at Danny Masterson. Some girls claimed sexual harrassment and he got fired from his new show. The thing is that these claims were investigated 10-15 years ago and they found no evidence of the claims. Could you imagine being fired for something that supposedly happened over 10 years ago with no evidence... It's BS. People just love to play the victim and ruin other people's lives.

     

    Are you really trying to merge Danny Masterson's situation with this one in an attempt to make Incognito into a victim?

     

    No evidence was found on Masterson which technically makes him innocent, meaning he shouldn't have loss his job if no evidence was found of any wrongdoing; Incognito on the other hand has an actual history of being hotheaded and making racist remarks towards at least one teammate who felt intimidated by him. I'm kind of disgusted that you even tried that.

     

    Someone gets called for a personal foul every week so what was so special about this one that he needed to make up something like that to divert attention away from it?

     

    I promise you his personal foul couldn't have been anywhere close to Gronkowski's hit to White. Had Gronk claimed White hurled a racial slur at him before he reacted the way he did then there would be grounds for you to call bull----.

     

    As you stated, he got called for "A" personal foul, not multiple personal fouls (he would've been ejected), so who exactly was he so concerned with that he had to slander Incognito that way in order to distract from the 'multiple' hits to Tyrod Taylor's head that you mention?

    Maybe offer TT a new deal.... at our price

    SO I like Tyrod. Problem is he is severely limited, but he also has his strengths. Last year he signed a team friendly deal after finding out the rest of the league doesn't view him as a starter. I would love TT for like $9M a season, not $18m-$20m. Would TT sign a 3 year deal worth $27m?  Guarantee half of it, and I think he might take it. He doesn't seem to be a money chaser, this is undoubtedly his best spot to play, and the fans would love him for signing that deal. Also we would be in great position to build a great team around him. 

    I know it is very unconventional but this year could be the perfect storm for us to use leverage. Flame away. But I like TT for a discounted rate, If it takes market value to sign him he isn't worth it.

     

    "Our price"? "Our" who?

     

    Are you suffering from delusions of being co-owner of the Bills?

     

    Is this the voice of the powerful front office figure that speaks in your head expressing itself?

     

    "Our price"???

     

     

    Keep the picks or just get a QB?

    we don't want another Losman situation here.

     

     

    Of course not.

     

    I'm just pointing out that 5 Qbs going in the top 10 is unlikely.

     

     

    Aaron Rodgers happened in the same area that the Bills will be picking.

     

    Teams never really seem to be as covetous of the QB fans of teams who lack a franchise QB fear will get away.

     

    FTR, I'm all for the Bills moving up to get a QB if they feel that strongly about him.
