    You say that, but the giants just took a chance on a GM that was “cutting his teeth” as an assistant. It’s not like Dorsey hasn’t  been learning on the job for a few years now.

     

    The bottom line is, every great coach got their start somewhere. For all we know, Dorsey might be the next great OC. I’ll leave it up to Beane’s discretion. He’s earned the benefit of any doubt. 

    Exactly. 100%. In fact, I’ll go a step further…make Dorsey OC and don’t even worry with hiring a qb coach. Just keep Webb on the sideline as a backup and let him be the acting QB coach. 

    And I don’t get why posters assume he wouldn’t be adequate. Goes both ways. Again…I’ll trust Beane in this. 

    Yes, they took a chance...after a wide search of people. They didn't just look up the hallway and say..."Well you've been here a while. Want the job?"

     

    And what has Dorsey been learning? Can you pin point how exactly he's progressed in his time here? What are his own philosophies when it comes to running an offense? What is it (other than close proximity) that directly tells you he is so well qualified for the job that they shouldn't even look in the event that Daboll leaves?

     

    That's all I'm suggesting. Look at the current staff, absolutely. But don't solely look at the staff. As we saw early in the season with the offensive line..."running it back" and continuity aren't always the best practice

    If done right, continuity is the best thing.  You build an identity and you don't want outsiders to detract from it if it is working.  You risk less of a losing mentality, the type that plagued this team for years.

    Although we all know it was Allen's work ethic...

    If done right...you don't limit your search to in house only. They are in the mix, for sure.

     

    However where you say having outsiders detracts...that's one possible outcome. Another is it could enhance with the right fit.

     

    Doug Whaley was "groomed" and given the GM job. Doesn't always work well. The best search is a thourough one....including Dorsey and Hall from on house. And if they win it...super.

    I disagree. Josh Allen is getting to the point where he knows exactly what play to be in. Why would we want to take him out of this offense. He knows it like the back of his hand. The communication with his recievers has helped him make this giant leap to where he is today. Why would we want to change the verbiage and the playbook?

     

    Besides its not like Ken Dorsey is unqualified for the position. Daboll has been grooming him for an OC role for awhile now (Believe he was even allowed to call preseason games to get his feet wet). If he doesnt get our OC gig then he will get one somewhere else.  Then we are looking at filling OC and QB coach. Every great coordinator started out as a positions coach at some point. If they never got promoted then they wouldnt even be known has a great coordinator. Ken Dorsey is deserving of a promotion for the work he has done with not only Josh Allen but what he got out of Cam Newton.

    All I'm saying is that if Dorsey is the best for the job...fine. However, just handing him the reigns outright may be a disservice to the team. Find the best available candidate...even if it's not someone on the staff.

    I hope Beane has told Dorsey that he is next in line to keep the consistency there .

    I hope not.

     

    I hope if Daboll leaves I would hope the Bills take the time and effort to find the best available OC...not just a guy with no OC experience that happens to be here.

     

    This team is in the hunt for Super Bowls. Having a newbie OC cutting his teeth may be great for "continuity"...but it doesn't mean he's the best suited for the position.

    I really think it’s time for Daboll to move forward. For some reason i just don’t like any distractions the week of the biggest game of the year. 

    Honestly, if he gets passed over this year I think his star will start to fade a bit. Hard to justify bringing in a guy that was passed over by someone that he worked for (Schoen) if the Giants go in another direction.

     

    If I'm the GM of another team I'd seriously have to ask "Why, what does Schoen know working firsthand with him that I don't?"

     

    Now, for this cycle if I'm the GM of a team that wants him...I'd would have to figure Schoen has an upper hand and if I don't move aggressively I would lose him. I would figure the Tuesday or Wednesday after the final Bills gameof the year (whenever that may be) he gets an offer or 2.

    Baltimore Ravens fire defensive coordinator Don Martindale, source says

    Went to their board to see some fan reactions. Something else caught my eyes. Clicked on a "who do you support for this years playoffs" type thread. Baltimore fans OVERWHELMINGLY support our Bills. Most common reasons are that our fans deserve it, we are a classy bunch (not you Filthy B), and because of Josh Allen.
