Overdue Bill

Or even an old WR on a winning team (..see Benjamin Kelvin as an example)

Hmm...these kind of conversations are interesting but the bottom line is that you never know for sure in these "rebuilding" situations what is true. If McDermott builds a successful team in the next 2 years (assuming the owners give him that much time) than we will all be ranting about how his slow and steady process was genius. If they continue to falter, then we will say that it was all a crock and he was clueless. Building a winning franchise has so many variables (many outside of the coaches control) that it is impossible to say for certain whether someone's process is correct or not. Brady might has been a forgotten guy out of the league if the Bills or Jets had drafted him without a supporting cast.

I don't think that it is a bad thing...shows commitment, dedication (and the realization that this is not a long term gig)

Agree! I think McDermott has time because they realize that they will be able to acquire ALOT of talent next year through the draft and through the cap space that they will get after this year. We hate to think of rebuilding years...but this is a rebuilding year.

...just in time for the Patriots to figure their problems out. I am a die hard Bills fan but realistically, they are still 2 years out from winning the division. They need another good draft. Next year will give them relief under the cap.

Hahaha....I love it. That kid will go far in life!

We should have addressed this in the preseason...I don't see it getting better now.

Fifth times a charm (or something like that) ?

I think it is a little pre-mature to throw in the towel. Both McDermott and Beane were handed a mess from the previous regime(s). Major personnel changes take several years...we knew that this would be a process the moment that they let Tyrod Taylor go without replacing him with an experienced veteran.

I think that McD is a great improvement over the Ryan circus. If he is the man/coach that I think he is, you will start to see the results towards the end of this season. Think back to the Marv Levy days...it took a few years for the team to jell and for them to buy in to his philosophy. I can see that happening with McD.

It was a great pick...now having said that, he has to prove himself in the NFL and that will take time. Jim Kelly looked great when he came on board because he had a chance to get experience in the USFL. I hope we let sit and learn for a 5-6 games before we throw him in there.

Hahaha...yes...the last time we had two brothers on the team did not end well.

Little Red Fournette. My team is the "Overdue Bills"

I am hoping that the "experiment" that we saw in the pre-season was truly that...an experiment. I know that we do not have the most talented O-line but it will be a long season if they can't pass protect...

Agree...the O line was like a turnstile...coaching staff stated that they were experimenting, but I am surprised they did that with the franchise QB. I think Allen kept his poise considering that he had no time to set and throw.
