26CornerBlitz Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 It's his sources opinion. Goodness y'all stretch sooooo hard when you have a set platform to defend. It's not about a platform to defend. It's about how wrong LaConjecture has been about the Bills. Other "insider" reports with similar information would garner more serious consideration.

Punching Bag Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Yep. And we all have a strong suspicion Rex is done, so I'm not sure why he's being killed for that report. It was the proverbial fork, as La Canfora said. You keep using that word ... I do not think you know what it means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike in Horseheads Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 It's also not a coincidence that Facebook cancels out the cholesterol-lowering effects of Justin Bieber. It is absolutely clear as day and not up for debate. The figure below shows a plot of serum cholesterol from 1986 to 2010. As you can see, after the year Justin Bieber was born the average cholesterol levels began to fall until Facebook was invented. After that the cholesterol levels began to rise: I like it when someone finally shows some hard facts here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 So you are saying he his making all of this up...and has no source? No he has a source with ax to grind and angle which matches his (like you) and just keeps paying him just like "reporters" of tabloids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebandit27 Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Deflection is a sign of defeat. Ah, so all you have to do is declare youself "the winner", purposely miss the point of the post, and it proves you correct? How about take a second and consider that correlation does not equal causation, or is that asking too much? It's really, really, really simple: 90% of the discussions that attempt to find out why the team hasn't made the playoffs in 17 years wouldn't happen if they had a QB. They don't have a QB because they have failed to identify the right prospects and/or invest the right assets to get them. That falls on the personnel dept. If you want to bash Russ, bash him for what he's actually done, like deferring personnel decisions to guys like Modrak and Guy when he was GM-in-title, or hiring Whaley, or promoting Whaley to GM. Those are tangible decisions that we don't have to speculate upon. Drawing abstract, baseless conclusions such as "well, he got here then, and we suddenly stopped making the playoffs permanently" is sloppy and incongruent with any of the tangible talking points.

baskingridgebillsfan Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 I like it when someone finally shows some hard facts here! this much is known Just would not do worse then not make the playoffs for 15 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punching Bag Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Well then shouldn't you be blaming his sources and not him? I assume he trusts his source and it's a team insider. Is he not supposed to report what his inside sources tell him? Is his record of being wrong on source info much worse than other reporters, or are you just repeating what everyone says about him? Yes you assume because it matches your point of view Doctor of Misinformation. As far as we know YOU are the 'team insider'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 @john_wawrow Also, since Pegulas are well known for not leaking information, these leaks are coming from somewhere. And certainly not from Rex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other "insider" reports with similar information would garner more serious consideration. No it wouldn't. Jason Cole gets hammered with this same crap. When Schefter reports something, the Marrone thing gets brought up. Another insider corroborated that he heard what Canfora heard, so I don't know this board's malfunction.

Hey, Bandit I'll attempt a productive discourse, since I do value our exchanges I know you know I'm no fan of Russ -- and here's a perspective I'd like your opinion on I absolutely get the debate about Russ' level of involvement in football matters over the past 17 years -- ranged from 100% to 10% or maybe less -- but, while acknowledging that I have 3 points: 1- Russ still has influence on WHO the Bills hire as GM / HC. The fact we haven't had one successful GM or HC over those 17 years, doesn't he deserve some of the blame for giving bad advice ? 2- There is general consensus that selecting a QB is an organizational decision. I think there were several threads about the Manuel pick being one that was made collectively by the FO. Setting aside EJ, doesn't Russ deserve blame for the state of that position over the past 17 years ? The choice to select the ones we selected, but more importantly the choice to NOT select one for so many years ? 3- Culture. I've said this before, the culture of this organization is set at the top. The top was Russ for many years. The culture is way too accepting of mediocrity, that bleeds across all parts of the organization. Thoughts ?

It coincides with Russ Brandon's rise to power. And do you have any reason to suspect that Russ had anything to do with that, especially considering that Butler allowed Russ to tag along and taught him the business side of things?
