A member of the Bills front office has a kid who goes to the same football camp as my son, same position. I talked to him a great deal during the camp. I told him I always thought Brady made Belichick. He disagreed a great deal. His exact words were, winning football is an ecosystem, it takes the perfect scheme, the perfect players for the scheme, and the perfect organization of everything around that.
I doubt Allen becomes Allen if he goes to Cleveland, the Giants, the Jets or the Broncos at that time. McDermott does play into that.
I dont know what this board has against McDermott, but its not just on a football level, its personal for many of you. Just like Allen, you will miss McDermott when he is finally gone.
