Great article today in the Daily News (New York) about all NFL QBs and the salary cap.
As we all know, New England is better than anyone in NFL, not withstanding winning or losing today.
They draft better than anyone, they coach better than anyone, and the only head coach in the league to
have full roster control is Bill Belichick, although I think McDermott comes close as he brought Beane
from Carolina. Anyway, the Pats lead the league in having undrafted free agents with 18, 34% of the roster.
7new key players on D this past year, and on O, only 1 starter who was a Pats 1st round pick.
The point of the lengthy article is how QBs played this season in comparison to the salery cap hit their
team took for them.A lot of you know that Tom Brady, the 3rd best rated QB in the league had his 2017
QB salary % of the cap 19th of 43, meaning the Pats had a lot of money left over to sign free agents.
The Bills had Taylor the 18th rated QB, and 22nd against the Cap with a little under 5% of his salary
against the cap. The worst situation is Joe Flacco who dealt the Ravens a cap hit of 14.5% of their cap space.
Whether it means anything to you, QB play rated under Taylor this past year include Prescott, Carr, Dalton,
Bortles, Palmer, Brissett, Foles, Mariota, Cutler, Newton, Manning, and Flacco.
What does this all mean, maybe nothing, but maybe Taylor is not costing a horrible sum against the cap,
and just because the Bills can draft in quantity in the draft, doesn't mean they can draft their way into the SB.
-
Who we want, and who we can get to come here are two different stories.
-
Why wood a good QB want to come here, with no one to throw to. (And what is KB going to be after his surgery)
If McBeane didn't think enough of Woods, Watson and and Goodwin and wound up with Mathews and KB both
broken down and who did very little, what makes you think this D guru, has the smarts to know O talent.

This is not about Rex or even SB coach Schwartz, it is about Byrd and Butler.
-
What happened with the "if it's not broke don;t fix it idea."
McDermott giving a job to his high school buddy. Why not, because he can, so he does.
-
What is it with this guy and Peterman, a 5th rounder who can't play? I don"t get this.

Only the Bills could have a so called PC during Super Bowl week.
-
What makes you even think Peterman is a NFL QB.
Maybe because he threw a TD in the snow,
or because someone said that on this board.
Please.
-
You better hope Peterman is cut because he is not even a backup QB, and you can take that
to the bank of your 5th rounder, although what McDermott wants Mcdermott gets unfortunately.
-
There is one big point that we are all missing, as some of the lst and 2nd rounders leaving are
managements fault and some are not.
We get all these top draft choices coming here, most all are single, or with girl friends and with
money to burn. We all know what a great place Western New York is to grow up at and to raise
family's, but first of all, these rookies and their agents have known they are not coming here to go
to the Super Bowl, and most guys want to win. Second of all, how many times can these guys
see Niagara Falls or go to the same Art Gallery if they want. Or what about going to a bar
downtown for a couple of drinks. Buffalo is the Bills and so many people know who these guys
are. How would you like to be Tyrod Taylor going into a bar or club Sunday night after a loss.
These guys can get lost in New York, Philly, Miami, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, LA, San Fran, etc.
and not get abused like they can here and maybe have a better social life.
When I was growing up. relatives near Toronto used to come to Buffalo all the time. They
haven't been here in 30 years. If I want to have some fun I can leave Buffalo and head anyplace for
a couple of days if I have the money. All things being equal moneywise, winning; a better social
life; better weather late in the season; wouldn't a lot of free agents want to leave .
Just saying.

Someone posted the Jags Offensive depth chart, but not the Defensive depth chart.
Since when does Dareus play on the O line.
-
I am not even going to guess why you have no sense of humor omf
-
You have no idea what he was talking to him about. Maybe he kept asking for updates on his
love life.
-
No, the point is all the talent we have given up this year, like the T who the Coach could
not work with, that we practically gave away. Maybe Marrone was not so dumb after
all in leaving because he made it work with Dareus. Dareus, no matter what anyone thinks
has talent, and quitting on talent hurts a football team no matter kind of person the player is.

Of course, no team makes PERFECT roster decisions, but the Pats unfortunately make less.
If you have not just come back from Mars you know why they traded J.G.
Sure, without Brady and Belichick it is a different story, but they always have the right pieces.
We traded for a crippled WR from Carolina who needs surgery, and how will he come back?
He is also the guy who pushed off in the end zone for a 10 yard penalty that maybe cost us the game.

You really want to keep a guy, you can figure out how to keep him. It seems the Pats always
win the AFC because they know who to keep and who to let go. Cap or no Cap.
There is a reason certain players on certain teams test the market.
Has Brady ever tested the market. No, because he knows with Coaching and Management
the Pats make the right decisions to be able to win.

There was also Ragland, and I don"t follow the NFC that close, so maybe or maybe not someone else.
-
After watching him throw the ball against the Bills, and throwing it today, it makes one wonder what
kind of candy he took today pre game to really improve his game.

Marcel Dareus sack of Tom Brady today in the 4thQ could not get the Jacksonville a trip to the Super Bowl,
but Stephon Gilmore with maybe a game saver, got the New England Pats to the Super Bowl.
There is a old saying in sports "DON'T QUIT ON TALENT" and it is mind boggling all the talent the Bills
gave away this year. I believed it's been repeated hundreds of times here, so I don't need to go into all
the names, because you know who they are. For Cap space and Draft Choices?
Why is it that the Pats never have these situations that hurt them?
We even lost two guys off the practice squad to these guys this past season. Are the Pats that smarter?
You all know the answer.

With 12:50 left in the game yesterday, Roethlisberger threw on 4th and 1 incomplete.
The Jags safety said, "I!m expecting sneak for sure or at least something to Bell straight up
the gut. Once I see a pass, I was like, whoa. It worked out in our favor. If your QB is that big,
all he has to do is lean forward and it's a first down." This, on the Jags 39.
Roethlisberger was asked if he thought they should have called a sneak. "I don"t know.
It's been a while since we've run a QB sneak. I'm for it. I don't know, that's kind of over my
head when it comes to why we don't do it. I'm not going to sit here and second guess,
why don't we QB sneak? I don't know how many years it has been since we ran a
QB sneak. It's not like it's just this year. So, I don't know."
Whether it's not wanting to overrule the OC or what, what do you guys think, because
we know that Big Ben is not exactly a rookie.
-
We all saw the game yesterday. They out played and out coached the Steelers.
So be it. Let the best team win this weekend, Pats or Jags.
-
This guy, if I recall correctly was on the bench when the Bills beat the Rams last year, and now how far
can he go?
See what good coaching, and WRs and TEs who can actually catch the ball can do for QBs.
I will probably be repeating this before the draft, but our WRs lost the Jacksonville game.
Benjamin with his lame brain penalty in the end zone, and Clay with his, wiping out a 39 yard McCoy run.
rush into Jags territory.

Anybody have a problem with Bills punting on 4th & 1, 4th & 2, near midfield and 4th & 6 in Jacksonville
territory with I believe around 3 minutes left.
-
How does anyone know it was a RPO call. Talked to Dennison or maybe TT, or just guessing
and repeating what someone else said?

A lot of nastiness on this board, just like on social media, and just like life.
You complain about a TV program, change the channel.
Complain about a newspaper, don't read it,
and to complain about $2.99 for a full month, for the entire newspaper I believe, makes no sense.
As for the play and KB, he was damaged goods when he came here. Carolina duped the Bills,
and the play was a push off, end of story.
