I can't remember the interview, so I would appreciate it if someone could help me out with a link, but I do recall him being asked a question about his staff. His answer was something to the effect that he has a notebook that he kept updating with people he thought would be good fits at different staff positions. I would hope that his list for OC is slightly more extensive than just McCoy, but you have to wonder just how much wind it took out of his sails when McCoy went to Denver. If he doesn't have GOOD second, third and fourth options in that little notebook it should be a cause for concern. Interesting. So the same "predictable" complaint about him that has plagued him over and over in various coordinator jobs he's had is really all the QB's faults? Must be nice to always have an excuse lined up. Sounds like he wasn't privy to what decisions were being made on plays he called.

Also, this. Which would be if you were referring to a position group

+1

Please. There is ZERO chance of this actually happening. Let's let it die.

We just drafted a QB last year. I don't understand why we draft someone this year to act as an understudy again. If you draft a QB you need a low cost veteran backup and Cardale can be 3rd string. I fail to see the logic behind 2 QBs sitting on the bench "learning" from someone who doesn't play like a prototypical QB.

Got it, well that's settled then

I would second the first part. Reuben Foster is a beast and makes everyone around him better. If he's not there I take Hooker or Peppers, there are a lot of good WRs

He would have had to have been checking out of every single play in order for this to be a valid argument.

Unimaginative. I only watched a few games but even then you could see how they lined up, look at the down and distance and probably predict what the playcall was about 3 times out of 4.

If this is the case then it was a mistake to let Lynn walk and hire McDermott. I really like McD, but you cannot doom an entire unit to suck before the league year has even started and I am confident that we would suck with Olson as OC.

The purpose of a fan message board is to debate and discuss our team. If your response to anyone who disagrees with you is merely to tell them they are not a coach, I suspect you will not enjoy the conversation here. +1 Olson is a bad play caller. I watched a few Jags games when he was OC and the playcalling was painful.

we can make fun of this, but in all seriousness Kelly is probably a million times better than anyone we're considering for the same position

This was just the saddest comment I've seen on here in a while. "I've reported you?" How in the world has the conversation on this board devolved to the point where instead of debate and discourse we are now trying to get other posters banned for disagreeing with us?

Am I supposed to know who Leo Roth is? I feel like I do a fairly decent amount of Bills-related reading and I can't think of who he is.

This thread was ill-advised and no one is surprised it has gone off the rails

Me too. Unfortunately the flip side of having a FO who doesn't care at all about the media is that we get no news.

Incorrect

I'm not excited about either option we've been presented with. If it were up to me we'd have promoted Kromer.

My argument didn't take a moral high ground. I told you I thought your schtick was old, which is true. Make a point, don't try to act tough about it.

This is simply one position you can't be immature at. QB has to be a leader of men. McDermott says he's stressing character - Kelly is out.

Agreed. The last thing this kid needs is more pressure he can crumble under

+1 Plus we are already overpaying a #1 TE. This seems like a luxury pick on a team that will likely need to pick up 2 lbs and 3 dbs just to field a competitive team next year. That's not even touching the QB issue.

I doubt Marrone was allowed to say no to this interview. Fortunately, St. Doug's keen mind for analytics will make this a marriage sent from heaven. I imagine Chip will start off every morning bringing Doug his special shake and Coughlin his Ensure.

I sincerely hope we don't trade away a first rd pick for a guy that is going to be hanging up his cleats soon. I think you'll find Kizer rises higher than he should because his measurables at the combine will be better than most.

I tire of this internet tough-guy attitude. Saying "I don't like these guys and my idea is better" without actually proposing any actual names and giving reasons to back up your "new is better" proposal is a bit ridiculous. Probably best to remember that the guy who clamors for that shine box winds up in the trunk.
