Great post. There was no chance of any type of culture change as long as Ralph's chumps and losers were still running the team. McD may not end up being the answer, but at least the possibility of turning the team around is finally here. The sky's the limit!

Clay may end up being the depth if he signs.

Good take, very savvy on Pegs' part. The sleeping giant has awoken!

Good one, I forgot about them.

Nice, thanks McD!

Yep. Barring a total catastrophe, he should get a mulligan for year 1.

Plunkett, Manning, and Pastorini went 1-2-3 in the early 70s, look it up.

Good, positive take. Indeed.

Yes, pollyannas can be very naive.

Thanks once again for the intel.

Thanks! Yes, more Russ stories please! I am most happy to hear that Russ knows fully well just how much he is hated.

Thanks. A must-read for all the many Russ Brandon fans in here.

Only negative about those who were proven failures and who were holding the team back. I don't believe I've said one bad thing about McD. I've criticized Pegs for keeping said proven failures around, but now that he has awoken, it's all good.

Thanks.

Exactly, thank you McD and thank you to the Pegs. I wish all the negative nancies around here would embrace this most positive move, because you're killing my buzz.

He can do whatever he wants to the Sabres, just keep him away from the Bills, please Pegs.

No one turns on the charm like Russ.

#12 is dead-on.

Pretty definitive take.

Yep. I think he stayed at first as a condition Ralph placed on whoever brought the team. Pegs was then misted by Russ into thinking he was a superstar executive and gave RB even more power, but the past 2 years have been a real eye-opener. Don't know what options Pegs has as far as dumping him; we may have to settle for the current arrangement and hope he is truly far far away from football operations.

Poor Buddy.

Amen. Smart move by Pegs. Could be that only dysfunctional people would've preferred that things stay the same, they may find comfort in more dysfunction.

It's all good.

No doubt about it... except maybe Leroi, but he may not be returning now.
