    Sorry, I’m in the medical profession so my analogies are related to things i know or have experience with. Every day i had to study to keep up.  When younger , after being paid 13k a year for 3 years in residency,  when i started private practice at age 27 and actually started to be more fairly paid,  i got a little loose partying and spending money a little undisciplined as my family had been coal miners in Ohio and i grew up quite poor.     I learned , fortunately very quickly from great older  docs, and a great  accountant, if you dont treat your career like being in training, work just as hard in the off hours , others will pass you by professionally and in business. There is always someone better, more gifted. 

     

    I didn’t like hearing it at the moment because of ego,  but 40 years later I have never been  sued in the litigious state of Florida, teach med students, residents, nurses, arnp’s and was a med director for several clinics.  More importantly , i can honestly say i never had a family ever come back and tell me , you missed something on my family member that hurt them.  I made some errors as we all do ,  but was honest and helped fix things. I pass those messages about continuous improvement to those younger who are just starting their careers.  I am eternally thankful an older vet/doc sat me down and was brutally honest as i was prob cocky having good credentials coming out of training. Taught me real life lessons.  Josh looks like he might be experiencing similar life issues, understandable given his young age and early success (hey I never made 250 mil$) and it seems he has admitted  he is not a big film guy. He grew with palmer as a mentor , but something is regressing , which is so unexpected. 

     

        He may have decreased  seeing palmer,  but maybe I’m wrong.  He has regressed noticeably , and some vet/ coach needs the balls to sit down and tell him what he doesn’t want to hear. When leading the league in turnovers , be honest with yourself ,,,is that good or fair to your team?  You need to be more professional ; never call out the fans who worship you; your  arm arrogance works less and less each year in the nfl.  How can a captain, leader not be the guy calling an offense only team meeting ? Terrible optics!  I dont  see Dorsey being that confrontational guy , esp since he partially owes josh for getting the OC position. 

     

    Maybe players like playing with you , doesn’t mean crap from yes men on your team, whom you give gifts to each Christmas, and they have no real power.  Look , maybe coaching is bad and ruining you ?   Then take charge of your career and  step up;   bring palmer or orlovsky or agent to meeting with you to talk w mcd/beane about solving this. Because right now it’s not working and you look very unsatisfied, and season is on the brink.  My point is , if you feel treated unfairly/badly josh, only you can fix it!   Careers go so fast; don’t keep wasting years, esp as you are in a position of financial power more so than the coaching staff. 

     

    Not excusing mcd or Dorsey who i now strongly feel must go next year. Process talk is stale.  If I’m an owner , this is second year w injuries and i think extension was to show mcd belief after terrible injuries last year w Hamlin as well.  That excuse prob wont cut it this year w terrible offense.  No excuse for the bad turnover issue or 12 man debacle. Josh appears to act like he is now untouchable.  Beane should be drafting a backup or see where Dobbs or better competition is to push josh. 

     

    Life experience does matter , been a bills fan since ‘63 , and imo , without a miraculous turnaround there will be no playoffs this year.  if I’m beane or the owner , I’m trying to salvage josh to sell those PSL’S FOR the new stadium. Play the year out but 7 years is a fair trial. Time to chance getting better.  Worsening every year is not a good strategy   Thanks for allowing me to vent. This is looking like a very bad year., and tough to enjoy. .  

    He's regressed due to the soap opera between Dorsey and the Clapster.  The entire offense has regressed...The "QB competition" crap is beyond dumb.  The head coach is way in over his head and the ship has sunk.
