transplantbillsfan Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 14 hours ago, The Frankish Reich said: I love how all of a sudden Pederson is an offensive genius and Dennison is a total failure at life. Dennison has had no success? Well, how about: - the #2 ranked passing offense in 2008 (Denver/Cutler) - the #3 ranked passing offense in 2010 (Houston/Schaub) Pederson's best ranking passing offense ever? 24th (KC/2013). I was no Dennison fan, and I think it was absolute idiocy to bring him in to try to force the player (Tyrod) to fit the scheme rather than the other way around. But it's not like he was some kind of complete failure as an offensive coordinator, or that Pederson (who somehow managed never to get the best out of Alex Smith) was a hidden genius. Talk about hindsight ... Except Frank Reich is the Offensive Coordinator... but under the offensive minded Doug Pederson... Dennison was the sole play caller and Broncos fans complained a lot about him, too. And Foles has kinda been able to follow Pederson and his offensive system around the league so it's something he's really comfortable with, which is hugely important. There were actually reports of Foles retiring in the last year or so. Good for Foles being in a system he's comfortable in and can thrive in (although it's funny how much people are raving over one game where he put up a ton of garbage time stats) and I hope to hell he and the Eagles can find a way to beat the Patriots. But Foles is still not a QB you go out to pursue... unless you have a history with him and run a system he's really comfortable in, ala Pederson and the Eagles. Let's just all hope whoever is under center this year can be immediately successful in Dabol's QB friendly system. He's a guy who seems ready and willing to adjust to what he has... whoever that may be. He's hopefully not a stubborn dinosaur like Dennison. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kubiak was always the play caller, not Dennison. Those years you cited about top 10 passing offenses for Dennison were offenses being called by Kubiak, and everyone knew that... it was public. The last couple years Dennison was in Denver was when he got more play calling responsibilities and the last couple years Denver was bleh on offense. And Peterman being successful under Dennison?!?! Good God I hope we never have to see Peterman take another meaningful snap in a Bills uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because We always INSIST that players who do NOT play well, are actually really great! Like Tyrod. Trod is good but his supporting cast and his coaching are bad. But when Foles plays well... it means he is not good. Also, Bills fans always want to improve the team by getting rid of the best players. We have two good offensive linemen. Wood and Incognito. Hands down they play the best. There is no competent argument or opinion other wise. But we want them gone to save money and get younger. Anyway your hilarity isn't as one sided as you think! And Foles is by no means top notch, but he is as the OP said, better than our starter. The Eagles have two good QBs. The Eagles lost their starter, but then still demolished the Vikings and will play in the Superbowl. The Vikings lost their starter and still made the conference championship game. Both those teams have a starter and a backup who are better than anyone we have had play QB for at least the past ten years. I don't think that is funny!

It looked like the culture change we waited almost 2 decades for. And he brought it because we made the playoffs with minimal talent compared to the other playoff teams. The Patriots prove it's about system and process and more players buying in than talent year after year after year after year. You look despairingly at other teams and QBs on those teams as though it would have been an apples to apples transition from those teams (like Keenum with the Vikes and Foles with the Eagles) to the Buffalo Bills with Rick Dennison as OC. These conversations are pointless and sometimes just flat out ridiculous because assuming ANY QB would have looked competent for an OC who called plays so often predictable that they complained about him in Denver and in his one year in Buffalo he drove the #1 rushing attack in the NFL into the ground from the last 2 years as we gained almost 40 yards less per game on the ground in 2017 from 2016 and in 2017 we led the league in runs by an RB of 0 yards or less!!! What I pray for is Dabol being the next offensive genius more than anything because if he is, he will elevate our QB, no matter who it is, along with our entire offense.

Difference being in those two games, Tyrod had identical stat lines for completions, TDs and INTs. In both of those games he went 9 for 18, 0 TDs and 1 INT. Wilson that game completed 2/3 of his passes, 14/21, and had 2 TDs and 0 INTs. Bit of a difference there. beyond the difference between 93 for Wilson in ONE game and Taylor's TWO games of 56 and 65 yards. You can also see how Wilson's passer rating in that game, 107.8, looks a bit better than those two games for Tyrod of 33.6 and 35.6. Just saying. I do agree with what Whitewalker is saying, that both are fine backups and fringe starters. I'd argue Foles is better, though and would have been cheaper. Not that I was jumping on the table for him. But for Foles' bad year in STL, it was still his fourth year in the league, and he was in a new system. He appears to have improved since then.

Wentz suffered a very serious knee injury. Here's Dr. David Chao on Wentz's prognosis: http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/sports/profootballdoc/sd-sp-pfd-carson-wentz-knee-lcl-acl-0126-story.html Most likely, Wentz had a primary repair where the lateral collateral ligament was sewn back together (which speeds recovery) versus needing a graft. That type of repair is more common in LCL tears, as opposed to the ACL, which almost always requires reconstruction with a graft. At this point, it is still reasonable to hope Wentz can be ready by Week 1. If that happens, he will almost certainly be limited to being a pocket quarterback. However, there is no guarantee Wentz will even be ready to take the field by then. Having a second (of four) main ligament torn in the knee does add complication to the recovery. And recovery for two ligaments is more arduous than for one. This is why he needed a long locked brace for six weeks. No way the NFC champs (and I hope SB champs) are going to deal Foles - he remains quite affordable for 2018 (that's why I started this thread; he is getting backup money, something all the Foles haters seem to be forgetting), and we won't really know the full status of Wentz's knee until after the start of the regular season. Can he still run the way he used to? Will it hold up? etc, etc. Again, we missed the boat on this one ...

26CornerBlitz Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Where will Foles play in '18? Landing spots ranked From the Broncos to the Jets to the Redskins, we rank hypothetical suitors for the Eagles QB Journeyman quarterback Nick Foles will start for the Eagles in the Super Bowl, but he's not the Eagles' long-term starting quarterback. The job still belongs to Carson Wentz, who played like an MVP before tearing his ACL in December and will rightfully regain his job as soon as he's healthy. And that means Foles could be eyed by any one of the quarterback-needy teams in the offseason as their new starting quarterback. Foles will be under contract with the Eagles in 2018 for the cost of just $7.6 million, according to Spotrac. So, if the Eagles decide they want a proven backup quarterback on their roster while Wentz recovers from a serious injury, they can keep him around. But if Foles lights up the Patriots, he might draw significant interest on the trade market. 6. Buffalo Bills Why it could happen: The Bills continually refuse to commit to Tyrod Taylor as their long-term quarterback. In the middle of a playoff race and facing the Chargers on the road, they benched him for fifth-round rookie Nathan Peterman. At the Senior Bowl, coach Sean McDermott refused to comment on the situation. "I'm not going to get into Tyrod's future," McDermott said, per NewYorkUpstate.com. "Like I mentioned earlier, we're still going through our evaluation. Those decisions will come at some point down the road here." La Canfora predicted that the Bills will trade Taylor to the Broncos. If they cut Taylor, they'll save nearly $10 million in cap space, according to Spotrac. The Bills also have an extra fifth-round pick that could be used as a trade chip. If the Bills do jettison Taylor, they might be in the market for a rookie quarterback, but they won't make their first selection until No. 21, which makes it difficult to find a quarterback they can play immediately. Trading for one might be their only move at that point. Why it won't happen: The Bills probably shouldn't be giving up draft ammunition for a quarterback who wouldn't even be an upgrade over Taylor. They have too many holes on their roster to be doing that. At this point, draft picks are more valuable to them than a borderline replacement-level quarterback.

reddogblitz Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Why would any team with a gimpy starting QB trade away a backup QB they can win in the playoffs with? Just dumb. Would be like the Bills trading away Frank in 1992. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How, exactly, have the Patriots been "proactive" in "drafting and grooming quarterbacks"? Since Belichick came to NE, he's only drafted backup QBs with the possible exception of Garoppolo. You're confusing the horsehoe Belichick had up his ass when he made Tom Brady the Patriots' sixth round pick in the 2000 draft with prescience. Matt Cassel was a sixth rounder, too. Brian Hoyer was an UDFA. Jacoby Brissette was a fourth rounder. Garoppolo was a second rounder, but you can count the number of second rounders who have developed into franchise QBs in the last two decades on the fingers of one hand and have digits left over. Neither Cassel nor Hoyer played as well for any other teams as they did for NE. Brisette isn't going to make Indy trade Andrew Luck even if his health was guaranteed. As for Garoppolo, he has indeed looked really good in his short time starting in SF but Osweiler looked good for most of the season when he subbed for Peyton, so the jury is still out on just how good he might be IMO. Over the years the Patriots have drafted other backup QBs, including third rounder Ryan Mallett, but none of them has been any better than the scrubs that the Bills have drafted over the years. The Patriots have been better at finding QBs that fit their system, judging QB talent, and putting their QBs in positions to succeed if they get on the field. That Patriots' backup QBs have done well when asked to perform in place of Brady over the years but have failed to find any success as starters only supports the idea that it's coaching and the system that accounts for it rather than any formula or process for "drafting and grooming quarterbacks".

We couldn't have had a loser like that quarterbacking the Bills ... not when our Inspirational Leader, Field General Tyrod was willing to renegotiate ... Funny, Foles seems to be pretty cool under pressure and actually to be having fun playing in the Super Bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s just not that good but is fortunate enough to be in the right situation. I can all but guarantee that the people complaining we didn’t go after him will be the first ones complaining when they have to actually watch him play full time. You changed my mind.

These people are afraid to admit they were wrong. Foles is a damn good QB! No, I wouldn't put him in the Top 10 (yet), but look at what we've seen in the playoffs: (1) great vision, ability to find the open receiver (compare our career mediocrity, Tyrod); (2) superb on timing routes; runs that RPO as well as anyone; (3) one of the most accurate passers in the NFL. Yes, in the NFL period. Just look at that 27 TD/2 INT season, as well as how he's threaded the needle tonight; (4) very nice long ball. Is he Brady/Rodgers? No. Is he Wentz? Different, but maybe as good. No one can deny that the Eagles haven't missed a beat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's in a great offense with excellent personnel at WR, TE, and RB. I like how a QB can’t resurrect his career or end up being good because he had a bad couple of years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProcessTheTrust Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 They win and the guy will be a SB MVP. Someone will reach to get him. Hopefully Cleveland! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CajunBillsBacker Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 I’ve decided I want Foles in Buffalo next season. Would a 2nd round pick do it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
