Many NFL teams have paid them for research.
Couple of things here. What did they pay for? I highly highly doubt if they paid anything it had to do with the players and how they perform. My guess is IF, and it's a big IF, any NFL team ever paid them a dime, it had more to do with scheme and tendencies. Maybe even tendencies of individual players sure. I am not saying PFF doesn't have some value, it's just not in evaluating every player on every play since they had no idea what the responsibility is.

They are credible. The ratings are typically accurate. Not 100%.
What makes you say they are credible and they are accurate?

This points out the problem with stats generated by people other than the pro football professionals. Pretty obvious to me that your rating on this list is NOT a measure of offensive line play. It's a measure of something that is related to having a mobile quarterback. Taylor, Brees, Carr, Mariota are all on the top of this list.
I agree. I have real issues with Pro Football Focus in general rating individual players. They are watching the film and I think on some plays you can probably give a grade, but they have NO IDEA what the players actual responsibility was on a given play. A player can be way out of position who just happens to make a play because of it and they will rate them really well on that play but in the film room, the player will probably get torn apart for being out of position. I hate how much people rely on this third party company to determine how good or bad a player is.

Josh McDaniels new landing spot?
That is exactly what I think happens.

So, there is a kid on the playground who is running around going "nah nah" "nah nah" saying my invisible friends are cooler than your real friends and otherwise just being a complete and total douche-bag by insisting all the other kids praise him.....
And you are wondering why the other kids are throwing snowballs at him?
Whether you are one of the kids throwing snowballs or not, it is damn hilarious to watch the douche bag keep getting hit in the face with them repeatedly.
I guess that's where we differ. I would say that the kid yelling nah nah clearly feels like he needs the attention and if he needs it that bad, good for him. I certainly wouldn't be throwing snowballs at him and wouldn't want others to either. And for the record, because I know where you are going to go with this, not a liberal and didn't vote Clinton.

For what it’s worth
all of these discussions are on the main board and many are duplicate and triplicate.
yeah that is true. At least this is something new and refreshing.

Would you keep TT, or bring in a Fitz, Hoyer, McCown type QB to back him up? Chances are the guy will not make it through half of a season, let alone a whole one. Especially not with the current O-line situation.
I wouldn't keep Tyrod. I would have no problem going into next year with Peterman as the backup. I know people point to his one start, but really, three of those interceptions are directly on the oline or him not pointing the protection properly which could also be the case. With a full off season to work on the mental part of the game, I would feel ok with coming in for a couple of games if necessary.

If the Vikings resign case, which is a high probability, who goes?. Bradford?
I would take Bradford in a second! He is incredibly accurate and with a receiving core that isn't great at creating separation, he would be a perfect fit.

Given all the hateful negativity this board regularly spews out, I do not understand your problem with DD. This conversation, while possibly (probably) fictional, is so much more enjoyable than "TT sucks!", "Vlad sucks!", "Fire Rico!", "McBeane gave the house away!". If you don't like it, just don't click...please.
That is the part I don't fully understand with this thread. I would prefer to read about speculation of potential to come than the normal everyone sucks threads. I don't get why people that don't believe DD keep coming back just to talk crap about it. Who cares! Just don't read it then. Maybe that's too logical for an online forum.

Welcome, to the board. Your 7 posts since joining on Christmas day have been vetted. So no need to be vague about your
sources or even the team you won a championship on. There are some people to watch out for though.
In particular the Shady gang. They kind of run things around here. But other than them everyone here are believers in
Dunkirk Don. Thanks for the well thought out post and some of your background. I am glad that a championship caliber
head of player personnel has chimed in. To verify our sources source.
Hilarious.
I didn't validate anything. Sorry I do other things with my life besides post on a message board and be a message board tough guy. 8,892 posts and counting, you must be very proud at how much time you spend on here. All I was doing was commenting on some of my experience, never once said anything about having sources or anything ridiculous.

Or maybe you are Jon Gruden's son Deuce. And you are leaving Washington to come to Buffalo because you are bringing Cousins with you?
Dots connected.
Mind blown - poof!
As a huge University of Tennessee fan, I would prefer to stay away from any Grumors
Tennessee fans might be worse than Bills fans.

Are you aware that when he makes a blunder and I correct him he reposted what I said later acting as if he thought of it first?
Proof - you can’t fix stupid
I'm not going to lie, I haven't gone back and read all of it. I only come on here sparingly so I miss a lot. Let's be honest, I could come on here all day everyday and still miss very obvious things.

I'm pretty sure you and Dunkirk Dude went to the same school - based on your ****ty grammar.
Or perhaps you are just another one of Dunkirk Dude's alter-ego personalities?
Question - Do you fish for perch off any piers in Dunkirk?
Hahaha, at first I was like, "what bad grammar" and then I went back and re-read it, wow. And no, I am not some alter-ego of him. That was just me posting a comment as fast as possible at work.

This has been an entertaining thread and made the last couple weeks go by even faster! Appreciate all the info being shared!
I agree. It's been fun to read and to think about some of the things going on in the front office and behind the scenes. Regardless of what happens, people will call Dunkirk Don a fraud because it won't all turn out the way the Bills wants. Nothing every goes according to plan and they will have to move onto plan B, C, etc. I was a long time poster on the BBMB before it was just shutdown out of the blue and after trolling around here for a while finally decided to sign up. I will tell you though, based on my experience, teams do think in similar ways to what Dunkirk Don is saying with having multiple plans in place to address needs, although that might seem a little obvious, not all teams do that. I think in the past the Bills tented to scramble and that's because they didn't get plan A and had no viable plan B or C. I won a championship in professional football (not the NFL) as the head of player personnel and we had contingency plans for everything when building the roster. I am glad to hear the Bills are starting to think that way.

Exactly! Domes are so much louder. If you go to a game in Arizona, I had the chance last year, you will walk out with your ears ringing and those people aren't nearly as passionate about football as Bills fans. A dome would bring more people out to cold games and would be the loudest stadium in the league by far. It's already considered one of the louder ones when everyone is jacked up for a game and it's outside!
From a business perspective, they can say they would keep the dome open for football in the winter but they won't. Just think logically, if they got a huge snow storm, the logistics of getting the snow removed or trying to open the dome with all the snow on top of it, not going to happen. That just doesn't make sense.
