Beef Jerky Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 http://www.nfl.com/photoessays/0ap3000000671714?campaign=tw-nf-sf30618812-sf30618812 14) Rex Ryan, Buffalo Bills Ryan presents a conundrum: How do you weigh past success against present mediocrity? Ryan's teams have been middling for several years, after a fantastic start that saw the coach reach back-to-back AFC Championship Games with the New York Jets. Buffalo competed last year and could be playoff-bound in 2016. But that latter part won't happen unless Ryan is A) right about Tyrod Taylor and B) the D performs for him. I say it is a perfect ranking for him, this year will be the tell all on his coaching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree. A) and B) are simply true enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 I would agree. As much as I have been critical of Ryan, you can't judge someone on one year. He now has his own draft, and a second year with hopefully upgrades at some position coaches, and improved installment of his type of defense. If all of these moves turns into an 11 win team with a much harder schedule ( yes I said a harder schedule- no one in their right mind is going to say the AFCS and NFCE is as good as the AFCN and NFCW), then he was the right hire. I'm actually glad we have a tougher schedule because of we can rattle off 11 wins with this schedule, we will be battle tested for the playoffs.

Augie Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 #14 is probably about right, only because Roman is above average. Rex needs to carry his own weight this year. Hoping he can pull it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 That's too high right now IMO. I've said before that I've liked the Bills talent in recent years. I'd have the FO higher and coaching lower than 14. Thats why the Bills were roughly the 14th best team last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jr1 Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 It would be higher if he kept Schwartz as DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's barely in the top half, I'd say a little lower is reasonable. He needs to address ST as well as his horrible defense. I think Tyrod is a better option at QB than Rex is as HC. We've seen plenty of Rex. But then, a good QB can make a good HC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kkspike Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Amazing how the top five coaches have really good quarterbacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4merper4mer Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Honestly I don't see how he could be ranked in the top 23 or so given his defense has been solved and he has been unable to adapt for 6 years and counting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlbillsfan1975 Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Out of the top 10 Arianes and Reed are the two who stick out as doing great coaching jobs last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
