Oh no...are we starting a "the legend of AJ" series ala Kiko. A wee bit too soon? But a story I'd use!

Brought in for his opinion on the D then tell everyone "Whatever he says-yeah let's do the opposite"

But HoF isn't just about pure performance its also about contribution to the overall game. Attitude and history are a part of that.

I agree both seem to have character-just didn't get that feeling from the other Josh. Time will certainly tell but gotta root for our guy.

Was by far the worst selection IMHO of the group. Seemed all hype and no substance really to me. A few Jets buddies feel the same. They wanted our guy!

Let me enjoy my blind optimism please!

Modern-we will have none of that! Quick where's Jauron to right the ship

We got the right guy for sure. Everything he is doing shows character. That with his physical tools will develop into as superstar. More coaching the position and he's ready game 8! Regardless of your take on things this is an exciting time to be a Bills fan!

Appreciate the info 716

Would we then refer to the tandem as "McBeansless"

Never got the Ryan mystique. I was hopeful but was pretty sure the hire was a PR stunt with hopeful good outcomes. Rex is just annoying at best

Rob just hunting for the free grub is awesome! Post of the day!!

Please dear God let's see the 'ole Statue of Liberty play from my 5th grade team. Gets em everytime

But I thought that year we won the off season?

Thought you were referring to the Tampa Bay Uber groper- sorry wrong type of crabs He could talk it over with EJ

One "O" for each rushing touchdown he gets this season.

Come on everybody just another 30+ pages to break 200. We can do it........<sarcasm>

Bring back Gailey then????

...if the glove don't fit...

Now that is funny!

Speaking your mind is fine..I do it all day long however the way your message gets delivered and received absolutely affects its meaning. From my original post this is what I was stating. You can have men want to follow you because they believe in you or they will follow you because they need to (or have to) This is not to say you can't be successful and win but in team settings the most minuscule distraction can lead to failure. That's why coaches pay attention to the feeling of the locker room. Just look at how many truly talented players get moved on out because of personality. Not saying this happens to Rosen, just that he has a higher chance of causing issues than the others. And if he was naturally more even keeled then I think he may have gone higher. And to don't think Allen is a robot- I think he's genuinely who he presents to be

From what I have read and seen that is my take, hence "my belief. Rosen has had personality red flags all his career and Allen has not. From my experience dealing with thousands of people on a somewhat intimate level the Rosen personality type tends to be as I described and Allen also. This is not based on skillset just personality and leadership style. Maybe I'm wrong maybe not.

My belief is that talent aside, players will be led by Allen because they will want to follow him. He will earn that following which creates a true team. On the other hand players will follow Rosen because they have to more based on the position. Huge difference on the overall performance of the unit, especially when it comes to those games needing everyone pulling at 110%

But with a tag line of, "Aim small, miss small" wowing everyone how could Rosen possibly be a bust? Darn I wish he was ours...(sarcasm) Go Allen!
