  1. Whatever you think about Gruden, it's obvious he's arrogant. With that in mind winning with guys YOU DIDN'T BRING IN isn't going to be good enough, he has to prove he can do it with his own star players. Add the fact that a lot of people say he only won a Super Bowl with Dungy's team and that probably makes him even more likely to try and do it on his own terms.

  2. I wonder if Drew ever curses the way things turned out. I mean New England had been terrible for so long, then they get Parcells and draft Bledsoe and suddenly they're good. They go to a Super Bowl, then a few years later Bledsoe gets injured and some 6th rounder goes in and becomes one of the greatest, if not the greatest, of all time. Drew is sort of forgotten about now. If Brady hadn't have happened Bledsoe would probably be a legend in NE now. Not because he was great, because he wasn't great for very long, but he was the best they'd had, yet because Brady happened immediately after him, while he was still on the team, it's sort of scrubbed him out of history.

  3. The thing that stuns me about the whole Josh Allen thing is if you took any fan who knows ANYTHING about football and said "we're a terrible offense and we're drafting a QB number 7 overall, a QB who EVERYONE says is raw and needs a lot of time to develop, how should we handle it?"

     

    I'd guess 99% of those fans would say we need 2 key things in his first year at a minimum:

     

    1. A veteran QB for him to watch and learn from

    2. An accomplished QB coach who has some sort of history with developing young guys into good players

     

    Those things aren't complicated or difficult to do. They also don't guarantee that your young QB will develop into an all-pro, but they at least give him a fighting chance. The Bills brass did neither of those things. 

     

    I get that a 5th for AJ was a great offer and don't blame them for going through with it, but why they didn't bring in a vet to replace him when it would have been so cheap to do just boggles the mind. To me that's just pure incompetence, which is also strange because they've done such a great job of developing the defensive guys. I know McDermott is a defensive coach but he has to know a good deal about offense as well.

  4. Poor Ralph, he took a real beating over his supposed cheapness (when the team was losing, of course). That's the funny thing about sports, all people care about is winning. When you're winning you can be the biggest jerk on the planet, no one cares. Lose and it doesn't matter whether you kept your team in a small market despite having many offers to chase the buck and go elsewhere, and it doesn't matter how many millions you give to charity.

     

    They say you don't know what you've got until it's gone, I think that's true with a hell of a lot of people when it comes to Ralph.

  5. I know Peterman is a religious guy, and religious guys (like Warner) always thank God when they play well. Do they blame God when they play badly, or is it just a test to see how they deal with it? Personally I'd deal with it by no longer believing in God. I wonder how Peterman deals with it?

     

    Also, I remember hearing during training camp he said he wanted to be a GM when his career was over. So I guess he might be in our front office on Tuesday.
