Chaos

Most Super Bowls are won by teams with the deepest DT rotation. You can look it up.

A first round pick who does not play significant snaps as a rookie, has wasted a valuable rookie contract year.

Does anyone who posts on the board have a staff of professional scouts to assist them on personnel decisions? Don't sell people short.

This did not age well

Reason for Optimism: Wizardly extension of Ed Oliver.

I don't like or dislike the rental approach. My only point is despite what any GM says, the rules dictate that everybody more or less follow the same strategy. Teams are not at all in the same place in the cycle, so it may look different. But the Chiefs, Ravens, Bills and Bengals are all following the exact same strategy because that the rules force it. The team that is better at executing what the rules force does the best. Last year I think the Chiefs played 11 different starters from the previous season at times. Almost the opposite of continuity. They had a brilliant draft netting four productive starters. If the Bills had the chiefs draft and FA signing, and the Chiefs had the Bills draft and FA signing the results may have flipped flopped.

A review of the Patriots run of multiple championships shows that only a small number of the same core players were on the roster between championships, and of course between the first and last only one player remained on the roster. I am not aware of any data that demonstrates the championship teams have less turnover than other teams.

Wizardry?

The salary cap (its real folks), rookie contract rules, the benefits of free agency to the player and draft position in inverse order of finish position means every team in the NFL, has to turn over the vast majority of its roster every several years. There is no alternative. There is no strategic of philosophical way to avoid it.

Until I read this post, I had completely forgot about Singletary. His actual production will be fairly easily replaced.

I am glad you know about google.

Will DeAndre Hopklns Next Contract have a value Higher, Lower or the Same as OBJ's contract? There are reports that a Chiefs deal with Cardinals was almost complete, and was derailed by the OBJ contract, because DHOP believes he should be paid more. The poll question is not asking is DHOP worth more or less. The question is strictly on where you think DHOPs contract value ends up vs. OBJs.

He was not good last year. The pre-acl sample set may no longer be relevant. It seems almost impossible for him to return to best in the league.

Feel free to not read.

That is not what Hines said. But ok.

Mahomes far greater than McNab, that is the main difference between Philly Reid and KC Reid.

Reasons for optimism: Bills have the most gifted QB in the NFL Reasons for pessimism: Coaching staff has never figured out how to win a playoff game past the divisional round. Hyde, Miller, Poyer, White all likely have their best seasons in the past. Reasons for neutraility: Rest of Roster: Some good, some bad, in summary NFL Average.

25 years from now, there is some reason to discuss the Bills under Sean McDermott during the week break between the championship games, and the Super Bowl. What do you think headlines this NATIONAL TV discussion. (This assumes there is still a nation, TVs, the NFL, and the Super Bowl. all of which is questionalble)

At this point it is far and away the most memorable things about either Frazier or McDermotts career. Life is not fair.

People seem to be overthinking the "perennial contender" concept. With a 14 team playoffs, the Bills are perenial contenders as long as Josh Allen is the QB, and he is healthy. You put him on any of about 24 rosters in the league and about the same number of coaches, and it would be shocking if his team didn't make the playoffs. Similarly, you put a Derek Carr clone on the Bills with this exact same roster, and the exact same coaching staff, and no one would expect them to make the playoffs this year (Frankly, many would see them as battling to stay out of the AFC east basement with the patriots). Josh Allen having Dan Marino's career results would be horribly disappointing. Beane needs to figure out how to get Allen to the Super Bowl.

why do the results stay the same year after year then?

Ah, so you are the USA.

Also America in 1823, 1923, 1953, 1973 and all the other years leading up to 2023. This is how life works.
