YoloinOhio Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Buffalo hasnt fielded a playoff team in 17 years, and its new braintrust has a plan to get back. Heres how a book played a role in recruiting the new regime http://mmqb.si.com/mmqb/2017/05/15/buffalo-bills-sean-mcdermott-brandon-beane-nfl-peter-king Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevyVanMiller Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Nice read. I know we've all come to distrust what guys say coming out of the gate here in Buffalo, but I really think the Pegula's have finally figured out how to get the right people running their sports teams. We just may be in the early days of the next golden era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Great read. As for the hand-wringing over "who has the 53?" I loved this response from Beane when asked about being "tied at the hip" to McD: That was part of the attraction of the job. There were a lot of attractions, but I don’t have to get to know the guy I am going to be working side by side with personally, away from the office. I already know that. I have that box checked. I know that this guy is going to have my back and he knows I am going to have his back. And that’s a huge thing in this business. We know how important it is to trust each other. It’s so funny when people ask, Who’s got control? Who has the 53-man roster? Honestly, we don’t care about it. We are going to make decisions together and we are going to talk about everything that affects the roster, the staff, and that is what’s exciting. You don’t get that everywhere. You read about dysfunction in various organizations and that is part of the reason I am here. I did not want to leave Carolina for something I was unsure of. This seemed like as sure a thing as there can be in the NFL, to partner up with Sean. Lots of reason for optimism -- for those who want to see it.

N.Y. Orangeman Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 "MMQB: Is Buffalo’s quarterback of the future on the roster now? McDermott: He is, in Tyrod Taylor. And then when you look at the competition we have behind him. We’ve drafted Nathan Peterman, we’ve added T.J. Yates, and then Cardale Jones in the draft a year ago. I’m not sure there is a team out there that has the depth that we do at the quarterback position. So we feel good about that. We’re anxious to see how Tyrod develops in his third year as a starter in a new system, a system that he has some familiarity with in terms of [new Buffalo offensive coordinator] Rick Dennison’s system in Baltimore a few years back with Gary Kubiak."

YoloinOhio Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 There McD's initial perspective on Tyrod, then Beane's, then McD's followup. I'm left thinking he's either the QB of the future or could be cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope that is just coach speak and he is not serious. Because then we have a VERY serious problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyst Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 I would like to know doug marrones take on this in many ways to see if he would have the same viewpoints and ideas. No exact reason. But to see how he would say IRS different now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We posted the same thing at the same time yet only I was attacked. Crusade is coming from eball. You brought up Mahomes. I never did. Looks like the problem is people were upset I had an opinion and now attack me for other opinions. Edited May 15, 2017 by jeffismagic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldmanfan Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 I really hope that is just coach speak and he is not serious. Because then we have a VERY serious problem. They have a starter in TT that has done pretty well, albeit in a somewhat different scheme (running vs. passing) then what one sees in most QBs. He now has an OC that he's played with before, and who apparently wants to tailor the offense to his skill set (for example: I see them moving the pocket more to give him more throwing lanes). They got a veteran backup QB. They have a second year guy with good physical skills that they can continue to develop, and a rookie that has come from a more pro style offense and who from reports at rookie camp came in and already had a pretty good grasp on the offense. Perhaps none of them are All Pros, but they have guys they think can handle the position and that they can develop. Bottom line is last year their offense wasn't bad. Continue to design things around TT's strengths, develop the young guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Cardale, Yates, and Peterman none of this group would give me a warm feeling if Tyrod went down and they had to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 (edited) I think McD wants the QBs to feel confident going into camp and that he believes in their ability/potential or they wouldn't be here.. I don't think he means he thinks they are set. The comments that followed were pretty clear. It's better than Rex announcing "Well we don't have Lebron at QB that's for sure! Har har har."

QB Bills Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Great read?? That was as boring and uninsightful as their respective press conferences. King used to at least get the odd readable articles via his fabled ass-kissing but he can't even do that anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're an embarrassing "contributor" to this board. I picked that out too. Should I be embarrassed? TT and Yates are the only ones with experience, the others are CJ who was stated as being very raw and the 5th round NP. I don't buy that at all. Good coach speak, nothing more. Brady, Garoppolo and Brisset. 1 Super Star and two others that won games making it look easy. Brisset played the Bills with an injured thumb which may be why the Pats scored 0 points.
