    100%- I will add, the dynamics with people can be extremely complicated. I think Steph and his personality made it harder for Josh to really take the leadership role by the horns. Allen came in the league and Steph was older, more experienced, more of a presence. The dynamic was fine for Steph at first, he was the alpha, the man. But I think as Allen grew into stardom Steph sort of wanted to maintain that pecking order. Josh isn't loud, he's excessively polite. He's just not the type to drop his Johnson on the ground and take charge. What part of that he did have in him, I think Stephs presence likely made him less likely to express it. But people like Josh can be that way in the right environment. It starts off by not being heavily challenged which was more likely to occur with Steph around. Over time confidence grows and you learn to express yourself as a vocal leader. Now all of our former captains gone this is Allens team. Nobody is left to challenge him. It's such a great opportunity for him to become more than a leader with how he plays. This just feels right to me in so many ways. Excited for the first time all offseason believe it or not. 

    I'll play devil's advocate on the bolded. Why is that necessarily a great thing? Are you saying Josh's decision-making is infallible? We know that's not exactly true.

     

    Who are the new leaders that Josh will look to for feedback on team-wide culture stuff? 

     

    Don't discount the importance of a strong leadership team. 

    I guess Tyler Dunne was spot on...McD is too controlling and paranoid to work with...

    This is what people don't get and I alluded to in another thread. When you have the right head coach and star player combination (in this case QB in the NFL) there's basically no margin for error when competing with said teams on the biggest of stages.

     

    And quite frankly what the Chiefs have done during this latest championship run is wait for the other guy to make a mistake and piss all over themselves which is exactly what happened to many formidable teams that played Brady and the Patriots all those years.

     

    The bills likely have the right QB but they don't have the right head coach...but if winning division titles and bowing out in the playoffs early is your thing than by all means continue to celebrate it and that's exactly what Dunne pointed out in his latest piece as well.

     

    Why would he name them? That's how journalism works and he's not going to blatantly give up his sources, especially any current players, coaches, etc that are still employed by the bills organization.

     

    I guess myself I understand the nuances of what Dunne's doing so I can appreciate a lot more and it hits differently than a lot of these other national media hacks who quiet frankly know very little about the Bills other than what they see on TV and read from local media.

    It’s confirmation bias for you. It’s OK. Own it.
