Owner, so I could fire McDermott and hire a real GM to run the team, not a puppet.

So raise the candles high
'Cause if you don't we could stay black against the night
Oh, raise them higher again
And if you do we could stay dry against the rainLay down, lay down, lay it all down
Let your white birds smile up, at the ones who stand and frown

I would pass hundreds of cars on my way to the morgue, and I suspect this speaks for most of us.

I only want to hold you, I don't want to tie you down
Or fit you in the lines I might've drawn.
It's just that I, oh Ihave gotten used to havin' you around.
The landscape would be empty if you were gone
But it's all right cause I love you, and that's not going to change.
Run me around and make me hurt again and again.
But I'll still sing you love songs, written in the letter of your name.
The rain is gonna come, oh it surely looks like rain. -

Pro sports are a business.
If he turns into a Cam Newton-sized pumpkin in two years then the Bills won't be offering him another 5 year extension, will they?
So it's naive to not realize the real possibility that a star might decide to change teams to benefit his career.
I'm not a McDermott hater but even I know a significant faction of Bills fans are certain that McDermott is wasting Josh Allen's career.
Don't be surprised if the Bills don't land a top WR in this draft if the national media Bills-talk shifts from Stefon Diggs drama to talking up the idea that Allen should leave Buffalo so he can have a perceived "fair fight" with Mahomes.
Won't hurt the league's feelings any for Mahomes/Allen to turn into a SB matchup either.
He loves southern CA. He'd be awesome for the Rams.
The Niners are his boyhood team.
McVay and Shanahan have been to 4 SB's and lost 3 because they were out-gunned at QB.
Neither organization has any long term commitments at QB. Don't think they haven't pondered the possibility of landing Josh Allen. And the return for Buffalo would be a joke compared to the loss.
Makes way too much sense and in 2025 Josh Allen reaches that half-way point of his deal and has a $60M cap hit. $25M of that is a roster bonus. He has leverage to force his way out.
Very sad but very true.

I agree we don't need to trade back but there is nothing wrong with the value of that trade. It is what the value looks like.
I know that it looks fine on one of those trade value charts but, I would not make the deal unless we could fleece a team that really needs the pick. There must be one sucker out there like Doug Whaley who would happily overpay.

28 for 36 and 78 is a realistic value match (I doubt they would get more).
Even if it is somewhat realistic, the Bills don't need to trade back. It would be nice to see us fleece another team rather than McDermott getting foolishly swindled yet again.

Hello fellow Bills fans, welcome to my question of the day, I hope you all are well and moving on from the recent Diggs stuff.
I was reading this ESPN article that came out today about Belichick and him not being hired or even considered in this last NFL coaching job carousel - https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/39955777/how-patriots-legend-bill-belichick-end-nfl-job
Is it at all possible for McD to have a similar career path? My gut overwhelmingly tells me no, but I do wonder....
Let me know your thoughts and why!
Yes, in the sense that at some point, Pegula might no longer fall for McDermott's "process" scam, realize that McDermott should not be running this team, and tell fellow owners that he is a farce and a waste.
-
Good job but hopefully if he does trade down, McDermott will get more than a 3rd round pick.

It is interesting (to me at least) to think that kids getting real money in their pockets in college may help NFL teams by weeding out some of the knuckleheads.
Agreed and as I said, I would put some big money into investigasting these kids if I was a billionaire owner, complete with following them into bars, etc.

Relationships make deals happen. I'm not sure they make that trade with any other team in the AFC if that team is picking 27th(meaning they are good). If you are going to help an AFC rival out you better be getting the best of the exchange........and even at the time it seemed like at best a discount.
But again, new regimes are also brimming with confidence in themselves and often end up getting taken to the cleaners in personnel swaps. It's the first place to look if you are a contender looking to make a one-sided deal.
That makes sense and makes McDermott look like a complete novce, who was handed (and still has) WAY to much power in the organization.

But yes, ultimately the Bills ended up birthing a Chiefs dynasty. Probably because McDermott felt inclined to help his buddy Andy. .
I am not doubting you, and I'm positive that you know how little regard in which I hold McDermott, but why on Earth would he make a trade (for which he got little return imo) to help Reid, this in his first year here? Is he even worse than I thought?

Yeah as I said elsewhere, there hasn't been a proven elite WR in their prime to sign a deal since Davante Adams and then Tyreek. When Jefferson hits the market, he will re-set it.
Davonta Smith just got a huge deal in Philly but I don't know if you consider him to be elite. I think that if he had Josh as his QB instead of Hurts, he would be. Rumor has it that Waddle is also close to getting a very lucrative contract. I think that if Josh was throwing to him he might be a superstar.

Probably a weird way to look at it but I believe the draft will get easier with NIL deals. These players will show who they are very early in college.
Weird? No, this makes complete sense. Many of these kids come from poverty stricken homes. Now, some are racing around in Porsches with 100 grand in their pockets, and access to hot women, alcohol, and legalized weed (and God knows what else).
I'm not insulting these kids. I'm not at all sure that if I was young, in a college with thousands of hot girls, with a cool million dollars that my behavior would be all that reasoned and mature. In fact, I would bet against it.
My guess is that owners (if they are smart) will allocate more resources to investigate, and even spy on some of these kids.
Jmo.

I agree with the premise of the article.
I also think that some executives are just plain bad. If we just start from the year 2000, most of the Bills draft choices were idiotoic at worst, wasted at best. Their method of team building (focusing on defensive backs instead of replacements for Bruce, Kelly, Reed, and Thurman (who all aged at roughly the same time) was unthinkably stupid. I have said many times that a 12 year old kid with a copy of Joel Buchsbaum's "Pro Football Weekly" could and would have drafted better than the Bills, especially in the Levy/Jauron years. McDermott has not been much better, other than the trade-up for Josh which was GREAT, but also necessated by passing up on Mahomes and drafting a cornerback instead, to play in a zone.

We of course have no control of this madness. All we can do is hope, and cheer for the uniforms.

Eagles have 2 WR1s. Dolphins will have to do this also. I don’t think SF will.
Believe me, Waddle is about to get paid huge money.

Superstar WR? The Big Three

Agreed. I don't want a Whaley type move of stupidly giving away the store with trade ups, and McDermott did give away picks for Edmunds and Elam.
I also think that quarterbacks AND receivers obviously benefit from very strong offensive lines. A quarterback like Josh can find any receiver given all day to throw. Your stats went back 20 years but the NFL is an increasingly offense oriented league, passing in particular. I think that the Bills should focus on wide receivers and blockers for depth. This would well serve to keep the Bills competitive.
One last point.....I saw the blame that you placed on the Bills losses in recent big games, but you left out McDermott. I'm just sayin.....
