That is fair, but toughness is far from the top criteria for a QB today.
Accuracy, intelligence, pocket awareness, situational awareness, arm strength, escapability, and running talent are more important. Kelly had many of those qualities too.
No its not, toughness is throwing interceptions than throwing TD's to win a game. It's taking a hit, standing up and winning a game!

Seriously, I am incredulous over these posts, especially the ones that think Stefan Diggs greater than Andre Reed, oh ye fools!

I loathe interceptions. I have Kelly 8th. Kelly threw 175 INTs in 11 seasons compared to 237 TDs. Russell Wilson has 109 INT in 13 seasons. Stafford has 187 INT but in 16 seasons and a near 2:1 TD/INT ratio and far far more yards
Rodgers in his prime but not now
Tua is more accurate but Kelly was better QB
Dak is more prolific but Kelly was still better
Jayden Daniels is amazing but not quite there yet...
Purdy is a system guy.
Never liked Kirk Cousins
Baker is an interesting comparison. Both gunslingers. Both threw a lot of INTs. Kelly had more success with better teams. Kelly is still better but when Baker is on he is very good.
More to a QB than statistics, I know you guys love statististics but Kelly had a toughness, with the exception of Josh, not found today!

I see you are new to this board. This board has been calling for McD's head since the day he was hired. Get used to it.
This board will whine about McD at any opportunity.
You know it, not sure whether I should laugh or cry at the absurdity!

One more - Stefan Diggs, please come back!

You need a very good coach and a very good QB to have consistent excellent success.
Super Bowl wins, right? Reid's first came in his 20th year as an HC, Belichick's in his seventh. This is McDermott's eighth.
Anyone who thinks we've got enough data on McDermott yet is simply not thinking clearly.
Stop ruining the narrative!

The lengths y’all will reach to take a shot at McDermott is crazy to me lol there’s plenty of valid things to criticize him for but saying stuff like this just feels like you’re being straight up disingenuous and will attack him for anything and everything
My all time favorite is he claps too much!

He's so timid and awkward at these things. I really hope it's just being camera shy because he inspires zero confidence in these end of game speeches.
He needs to clap more!

Two weak choices trying to drive home the "hate McDermott" line, needed more to chose from, nice try!

Those of us of a certain age remember these guys well. Very well done film, in my opinion. But watching these guys move in their "old" age is a sobering reminder of how violent the game was back then. Just about every play they showed would be a 15-yard penalty today. Salaam died recently from multiple health issues, Gastineau suffers from dementia, and it's obvious that neither Klecko nor Lyons can walk without pain.
Some Bills stuff in there: they showed Marty Lyons "giving [Kelly] the business down there" and also showed one of my favorite plays, Bill Simpson's goal line INT of Richard Todd to stave off a furious Jets comeback and win the '81 divisional playoff game at Shea.
Seen it yesterday, very well done!

So my guess is you are not serving in the active military nor a military veteran. The NCAA and networks feature Army Navy game each year and this will be the 125th time this game is played. For many of us, this is a key sporting event of the year, never mind the weekend.
Sorry to inconvenience you.
I’m retired and live in an army community, but throughout my 30 years I never really got excited about the army - navy game, understand the draw of tradition.

Army - Navy is must see TV.
But it is a slow day so my wife and I got in an invigorating 7 mile hike up Lookout Mountain this morning. Now time for my nap.

No NFL
A couple awful Bowl games
Terrible NBA regular season games
Horrible Sabres hockey
Unwatchable college basketball
I'm at the gym now killing it on incline press. Planning on being in the shop to pit the finish on my circular wall mirror and start rough milling some cherry for two tables.
What are your plans for the day??
Worse weekend for sports, weekend after the SB, you know it's over until September!

These "fire McDermott" responses after any loss at all are more predictable than the sun coming up in the morning.
They are tiresome beyond words.
Emotional tantrums for a 10 - 2 team losing a game

We had our chance at Jim Harbaugh and let it slip away.
Now Ben Johnson is there
Anything but the SuperBowl and I would move on from McDermott
Certainly another home playoff loss would convince most of the people on this board.

23 minutes ago, Kelly to Allen said:
Because he was pretty awesome in 20-21 and was still really good in 22 and 23.
He was as close to a true number one as you can be.
He was never an Andre Johnson or Eric Moulds level talent tho imo. Those are true archetype one wrs that can do everything diggs did but we're much more physical and could truly torch you deep.
Two players that were complete no shows in the famous 13 seconds game
Edmunds and Diggs.... That means something imo
Don't get me started on the Edmunds truthers lol
I like cover 1, their content is pretty good but it was really embarrassing with some of their takes on Edmunds. Like cringe levels of cope 😂
He did nothing in 2024 and I believe he is done, he had his moments but I have TBD posters comparing him to Andre Reed

As everyone knows the pegulas had a long meeting with the Rooney's from the Steelers about the bills new coach hire, what kind of philosophy to have as an organization etc
The number one thing the Rooney's said was find a coach who is of high high character and toughness and let him be the coach ( even thru the ups and downs of team development or rebuilding) as long as possible. Like over ten years long.
One of the key benefits was obviously the football program being fully established to where players can more easily develop. Ie the Dane Jackson and jamarcus Ingrams of your roster...
As I've said before I've fully accepted McDermott as coach and don't want him going anywhere for many many years
Why do so many resist that!
I can’t believe the emotional attachment still present for Diggs!

Okay.
Just go on record. Do you think Shanahan and Josh from 2020-2024 would’ve had more success than McD and Josh from 2020-2024?
Sure, no one can prove it. does that mean we can’t discuss it? lol. Very odd take.
My suspicion is that you kind of agree, but you’re afraid to admit it. It’s okay bro. It won’t make you a bad Bills fan to think someone could have POSSIBLY done a better job than McDermott.
Its also okay not to buy into the negative narrative constantly pushed by some, does not you a "homer."

You're wrong, and incredibly over-sensitive. The vast majority of us who are willing to discuss issues and provide criticisms are nothing like what you perceive if you'd actually read posts instead of writing people off immediately and then calling them names.
I do agree that it is sad to see your type of posting devolve this forum.
No he is not wrong, there is a segment of this board that loves the negative and not in an objective way!

Finding a good HC is difficult.
Here are all the HCs since Marv...
Wade Phillips
Gregg Williams
Mike Mularkey
Dick Jauron
Perry Fewell
Doug Marrone
Rex Ryan
Anthony Lynn
Enough said
And dont forget they fired who many believed was one of the greatest defensive minds in the game, Joel Collier, and replaced with John Rauch, and offensive master mind who loved the long ball. Rauch fired three years later.

But out there somewhere is this mythical Offensive Genius that will create the greatest passing offense in history and immediately win a SB!
