By the way, has this even been confirmed? If I'm not mistaken, Grimm is also the assistant HC for the Steelers. He's interviewing with the Lions this week, and perhaps other teams as well, for HC. Not saying it's impossible, but I just don't see us landing him as offensive coordinator.
-
Christ there are some real idiots around here.
90% of this thread is focused on either Grimm's name, his low salary/lack of OC experience, or his Pittsburgh connection. That is simply ridiculous. This guy anchored one of the best offensive lines in NFL history, and then went on to coach one of the toughest, most physical lines in recent NFL history. ISN'T THIS EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE ALWAYS COMPLAINING WE DON'T HAVE? God forbid we bring in someone who can instill toughness in our offense and running game.
Anyway, again, it's academic, because he's gonna be the Lions head coach.
-
He'll be the Lions' head coach by the end of the week, so it's a waste of time.

Nate definitely gets franchised and probably whored off to the highest bidder...I like some of the vet CBs on the market actually and think if we trade Nate, we could replace his production with some decent FA additions. Plus, we might even snag another first rounder...hell, we managed to do it with Peerless *snicker*
Ya, agreed, trade him for picks or keep him for peanuts. If we trade him, we could sign Plummer, Will Allen, Brian Kelly, to name a few.
-
He will be tagged regardless - it'll only cost $5 mil or so to keep him if we tag him and don't trade him. That ain't bad.
EDIT: at first I thought you meant Tom Clements, and I thought damn, Gilbride and Clements on the same sideline...

Green Bay will likely trade down a few spots to take LenDale White.
The Jets, I think, need defensive depth and athleticism - I don't see how they pass on Hawk or Williams.
As for the Niners, how can they possibly move JJ to right tackle, with all of the money they're paying him? I don't see them taking Brick, they'll have like $20 million next year tied up in their tackles.
I think we do have a shot - but I'm hoping we don't use it. Not that I don't like the player, but I think you can build lines differently - starting inside, building out. Center and guards are priorities, IMO. You don't draft those early in Round 1. Also, I think Peters moves to LT next year. Just a hunch. The guy I want? Vernon Davis, TE, Maryland.

Hilarious.

I dunno about Young. On the one hand, it's true that his mechanics are awful - one would think it would be impossible for him to succeed with that throwing motion in the NFL. However, he's done it for 2+ years against very, very good competition in college. Granted, I haven't seen too many games where he had constant pressure in his face, but still - he seems to be able to get it done. He reminds me of a more athletic Steve McNair. I'm betting he becomes a successful QB.
But not with the Bills. Stop with the nonsense.

Grimm likely will be named HC of the Lions by the end of this week.
Not a bad thought tho.
-
Gray's defense is designed to bully weak offenses at home. Period.
-
Interesting. I've been thinking White would be a perfect fit for the Vikings, wonder if they'll try to trade up now.

No, LeBeau was the Steelers D-coordinator in 2004. He called the corner blitz that Bledsoe failed to notice, Game Over.

Gammy's getting angry!!!!

Are you freaking kidding me?
After Donahoe was fired, there was an outpouring of joy on this board which hasn't been seen in cyberages. Out of the thousands of posts on this board since, I've seen a grand total of about 5 people who weren't happy with the firing.
5......out of hundreds of posters.
2%..... gazillions......same difference.
"and Levy was hired." That was the part of my sentence you chose to omit, and that's what the negative reaction has been to. You can distort my words to try to make me look like a fool, or you can address the merits of what I'm trying to say.

The issue is not about people having differing opinions - that is the point of a football forum.
The issue, as I see it, is about people stating their opinions as ironclad facts, i.e., absolute certain predictions about what is going to happen, and anyone who thinks differently or more optimistically is an idiot. My thread - which you, as well as other respected and experienced posters continue to lambast - was in reaction to the gazillion threads proclaiming doom within 24 hours after Donahoe was fired and Levy was hired. My point was only that the only thing we all know for certain is that we don't know what is going to happen, and I suggested that we all just wait a bit, remain optimistic and open-minded, and perhaps tone down the age-bashing. You can keep snickering and throwing in witty jabs about how stupid my thread (and others) was, and can continue to suggest that posters who have been here longer must know more about football than the rest of us, but I think the point has been made.
I will add that the current climate here is a reversal of the norm: ordinarily, it's newer posters who are prophesizing doom and gloom, and it's the experienced posters who advocate patience and optimism. Lately, and frustratingly, the opposite seems to be the case - the more senior posters here seem to be fixated on sarcasm and predicting doom, and many of us newer posters are advocating optimism. I think some of the "seniors" could do well to take some of their own medecine this time around.

Yep.
Although, if you can find a good 3-4 NT, you only have to pay him, and not 2 good DTs you need for a 4-3, which is why I think the 3-4 is more "cap friendly" (linebackers are cheaper than linemen).

My goodness. Either the sky is falling, or God incarnate has returned to guide the Bills to the Superbowl. This Board is hilarious.
NONE OF US KNOW HOW THIS WILL WORK OUT.
What I do know is that the Bills have fired an egomaniacal micromanager who was widely despised by almost all of his employees. I'll say this again: you can't underestimate the value of removing such a suffocating force from any organization. Even if the talent evaluation suffers (which I doubt it will), the freedom to operate that now exists for Bills' employees (including coaches) must be viewed as a positive. Everyone now has room to breathe - this cannot be understated.
That being said, who knows if Marv is the right choice in terms of talent evaluation? You don't. Neither do I. But to suggest that just because he is (i) old or (ii) an ex-head coach that he will fail, is just ridiculous. Why would some of you rather that the Bills brought in some unknown scout who had spent the last 10 years training how to be a GM with Sherpas in Tibet, is beyond me. Football is football. You draft a few good linemen and a good QB every year and eventually you're gonna be in the playoffs. Not saying it's simple, but Donahoe made it harder than it had to be, let's face it. Levy won't make that mistake, I hope.
In the meantime, stop saying you know what's going to happen, because you don't. You really don't. Give this a chance - new air has just re-entered the room, take a moment to relax and breathe it. A new era is upon us.

Come down from the ledge.
