    I agree.

     

    Dareus' teammates loved him. He loved playing for the Bills and in Buffalo.  He was about to receive a community service award when he was traded.  I believe that the negative stuff about him not fitting into the "process" blah, blah, blah was just the new regime trying to justify getting rid of him for a 6th round pick that turned into a 5th.

     

    Also, to all of the accountants who loved this trade, Dareus is going to be the third highest paid Buffalo Bill in 2018 . . . except that he will be playing for the Jaguars.

     

    For the record I still hate his deal, mostly because Whaley/Overdorf didn't protect the Bills given Dareus history. But at the time it was a given we would have to overpay to keep him just like most internal/external FA's during the drought.

     

    And despite the off the field antics and reports of him being lazy, he was a 3rd overall pick for a reason and still one of the best DT's in the NFL on paper given his talent and ability.

     

    Who knows what his future holds in Jax but obviously he feels he's in a better situation there than Buffalo despite his love for his former teammates and city.

  2. I still think NP is the QB of the future and option four is my choice especially since Beane is in love with him:

    4. Stick with Nathan Peterman

    "Overwhelmed" would be a kind word to describe Peterman's two starts as a fifth-round rookie. But keep in mind he went into the season as more of a developmental project and not with the mindset that he was going to be the No. 1 over Taylor. A full offseason with that mentality, in addition to more help around him, is bound to make Peterman improve.

     

    Peterman impressed coaches enough in the preseason to displace T.J. Yates as the Bills' top backup. There are lots of things they like about his raw ability, and it shouldn't be shocking if the Bills simply decide to try to harness it as their starting solution.

  3. Back when this trade happened, I said if St. Doug and Tom Coughlin couldn't get Dareus career back on track nobody could. Also it's very troubling the Beane and McD were focused soley on Dareus contract and not trying to support him and harness such a talent.

    Defensive tackle Marcell Dareus sees himself as “an outsider trying to help” the Jaguars after an October trade that sent him from Buffalo to Jacksonville, but says going to Jacksonville has already helped him. ...........

    Keep telling yourself that.

     

    Dennison's dolly is going to get the ax.    He'll be in the unemployment line by the end of preseason next year.

     

    Trade him now while you can still get a bag of hammers for him.     Hammers because they are useful tools not useless tools like Peterman.

     

    Not sure where this idea has come from that NP is Dennison guy, and if that's the case what does it say about McD then for benching TT for Dennison's guy?

     

    Shows he truly is in over his head after all if he's willing to let other coaches or players influence his decisions.

     

    Bottom line NP is one of the top young prospects on this team and going nowhere unless a team offers a 1st round pick for him.

    I don't recall many people trumpeting the 2017 Miami Dolphins as Super Bowl contenders.

     

     

     

    They were one of many 'sexy' picks including teams like the Raiders, Broncos and Bucs. Another reason many experts thought the Bills would suck because we had to play all these teams.

     

    Regardless many experts and league insiders will be all over the Dolphin bandwagon again next year because Adam Gase is widely considered one of the best young offensive minds in the NFL. Dolphins will also have their franchise QB back and are primed to have a big offseason given their cap situation.

    I am hoping Pete makes the off season jump necessary to improve this spring. That said, TT ability to protect the ball kept us in the playoffs.

     

    NP is a hard working and is going to have a great offseason.

     

    And regardless of whatever other QB moves are made this offseason, NP is going to be generating a lot of hype in camp and preseason when he looks even better than last summer.

    Not only that, many of the metrics are actually worse (as I mentioned in another post).

     

    Yes the 2017 Bills were very bad if you compared them to the 2016 Dolphins and 2015 Jets

     

    Both those teams were much better across the board especially offensively. And this is also why some had them pegged as SB contenders the following seasons, especially the Dolphins this year.

     

    This is why it's a minor miracle McD and this team was able to back into the playoffs on the arm of Andy Dalton of all QB's.

     

    Don't be surprised if a lot of the pundits have the Bills projected as a terrible team in 2018 similar to what they thought last season.

  8. I love me some NP obviously, but if it was realistic possibility to take Sam Darnold I'd be all over it.

     

    Some of my contacts out west think he's a better version of Phillip Rivers (who I still think has been a top 5 NFL QB his entire career despite the lack of postseason appearances/success).

     

    Still think at the end of the day though Darnold and Rosen probably go in the top 2 to the Browns and Giants and neither team would even think of trading with the Bills or anybody else given the circumstances.

  9. This press conference was a whole lot of nothing in terms of the expected vague responses, but still think big changes are coming especially on offense.

     

    And even though it's a forgone conclusion TT is going to be released or traded, the smart move would also be to dump Dennison especially if they want NP to continue to develop properly and be set up for success as the starter next year.

    New York’s Jets

    2015 - 10-6 2nd place AFC East. Missed PO.

    2016- 5-11 4th place AFC East. Missed PO.

     

    Miami Dolphins

    2016 - 10-6 2nd Place AFC East.  WC Loss.

    2017 - 6-10 3rd Palce AFC East.  Missed PO.

     

    Buffalo Bills

    2017 - 9-7 2nd Place AFC East.  WC Loss.

    2018 - ????????

     

    All first year head coaches too that followed up with less than stellar returns on the sophomore season.

     

    what is the solution to avoid the Jets and the Dolphins fate?

     

    Here's the big concern from the Bills standpoint when addressing this, the 2015 Jets and 2016 Dolphins were much better teams across the board than the 2017 Bills. Yet both failed miserably the following season for a number of reasons (tougher schedules, key injuries, etc).

     

    And this is why I maintain the Bills could be in a lot of trouble for the 2018 season, because first of all I don't think McD is anywhere close to the coach that Gase and Todd Bowles are. Second, it's no secret this team is going to continue to churn the roster and I think a lot of the veterans on this team won't be back next year sans guys recently brought in like Micah Hyde.

     

    And while the expected influx of young talent via the draft should pay dividends long term, I still think 2018 will be a classic step back season and at least from a W/L standpoint might be closer to what most expected in 2017 (i.e. a 4-12 type of season).

     

    Either way it's good that this regime was able to get the playoff drought monkey off their backs because the next few years might not be as kind especially if you factor in the rest of the division being vastly improved in the offseason as well .

    I started a thread last week that he was interviewing and the front runner.

     

    i don't think you reported anything 

     

     

     

    Yes and in your thread I reported that my TX source said this is pretty much a formality and Gaine's job if he wants it.

     

    And based on latest updates I have nothing has changed and it's pretty much done even though it's not announced yet.

    I personally think it is BS and feel the Bills should have blocked it.  He literally did nothing for this team besides get information to take back to his former team.  Not even here a year before leaving to go back to the place where he supposedly didn't get along with other members of organization.

     

    It will be a big loss for the Bills since Gaine is highly regarded in league circles, but can't blame the guy because he's obviously not getting the GM job in Buffalo.

     

    Also, pretty sure Beane was very disappointed after he decided to come to Buffalo and the Carolina GM job opened up shortly after. No way he would have chose the Bills over staying there if he had the choice.

  13. This is going to happen (as I reported last week it's pretty much a done deal via a close source of mine in the Houston area) and will be a big loss because Gaine is a very astute football mind that would have helped Beane and McD's rebuilding venture immensely.

    Last Tuesday, it was reported that the Buffalo Bills had granted permission for their vice president of player personnel, Brian Gaine, to interview for the Houston Texans newly-vacant general manager position. Gaine had previously been the Texan’s director of player personnel and former GM Rick Smith’s right-hand man. Now it appears that there’s a good chance he will be Smith’s successor. ...

    Apparently you have trouble reading. Let me help, better than expected does not mean in love with. In fact it’s kind of a back handed compliment. 

     

    There was no “love” there and there is no word on the street that it’s intensified, that’s just in your head.

     

    Sorry but you are wrong. And Beane/McD's actions will speak louder than words this offseason because regardless of whatever fantasy some fans have this team is dumping all their draft picks to move up and take one of the blue chip prospects that will be long gone anyway in the first 5 picks.

     

    Not saying we won't draft another QB in round 2 or later because that might happen but NP will be the guy heading into 2018.

    you are an imbecile. all you do is praise other teams. patsies, phins and now the jags. you are not a bills fan but clearly a troll who comes here to do nothing more than incite.

     

    you are without a doubt the worst poster on this board as of late and it would do the board much good if you would leave.  since you have your nose so far up their asses why don't you go support those other teams and coaches as you are a disgrace to bills mafia, a !@#$ing disgrace!

     

    Since when are Bill fans not allowed to discuss other NFL teams or praise them?

     

    If you don't like my commentary you certainly don't have to read or respond but I'm not going to stop discussing other matters if it's relevant to the Bills.

     

    And just because I believe St. Doug is a better coach than McD that's far from inciting a riot.

    Yes in fact I posted about it months ago but here's a snipped from one of the articles:

    Orchard Park, N.Y. -- Brandon Beane didn't draft Nathan Peterman, but the Buffalo Bills' general manager still had an idea of what to expect from the team's 2017 fifth-round pick. 

     

    The former Pittsburgh quarterback has been better than Beane anticipated.

     

    "You know what, I wasn't here technically when he was picked," Beane said. "I did follow him. We thought well of him scouting him in Carolina. When I got here, he is better than I expected. The one thing you try to investigate and we only did so much research there, so I didn't know all the intangibles. This guy has the moxie, the pocket presence, the leadership. You see him talk to veteran players, young players, guys of different ranks. Everything. He seems to be natural. They seem to attract. That's what you're looking for in leaders and we know how important the quarterback position is and he's got a lot of that." 

     

    Word on the street is that love has intensified and Beane was a major reason why McD benched TT for NP before the Chargers game.

    your gut tends to be wrong...a lot.

     

    honestly though...what's the point in starting threads like this.  is it really that much fun to get board members riled up?  a number of people explained why your op was foolish, yet you still push on.  are you bored with life?  

     

    Teef this team was out coached yesterday period and the final score quite frankly was misleading.

     

    With that said miraculously this team still had a chance to tie the game in the final minutes.

     

    Deep down though many fans like myself are pissed that we let Marrone get away. Sure McD might end up being a good coach somebody but backing into the playoffs on a Andy Dalton hail mary isn't close to clinching in week 14 like St. Doug and his Jags did.

  18. One of my contacts close to the QB situation texted me this morning while I was in high level meetings, to paraphrase he said the following:

     

    "Savior (obviously not my real name), if NP was starting yesterday the Bills probably would have won. But now the Taylor experiment is over and Beane is going full steam ahead with NP being the starter heading into 2018. Beane is in love with this kid but look for a few other power moves but no big name QB's drafted/signed"

     

    If true this confirms my own thoughts that NP will likely be the guy and we'll sign another journeyman to compete and back him up.

    Teams are knocking down the doors to interview Hackett and Pettine has been out of the league for 3 years.

     

    The point is that teams were/are keen on St Doug's staff, and he's assembled quite the collection of coaching talent in Jax.

     

    My gut feeling tells me though he's going to live up to the Parcells comparisons and have quite the career as an NFL head coach. Jury is still out on McD obviously since the Bills backed into the playoffs and were one and done.
