Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Not that I'm knocking him either way, but did he buy the boots or did he have the Bills pay for them. That sort of thing is done all the time in businesses where you give recognition gifts, so not knocking it, just wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeF Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 1 minute ago, JaCrispy said: Class was never the issue with McD...people just questioned if he was in over his head He took a mediocre roster and made the playoffs last year. It was a lot of luck but to have the team in that position was unexpected. That would be my counter-argument to those who say he is in over his head. Yes, he has ***** up the QB position with loyalty to Nate, who clearly is not an NFL talent, but I question whether the Bills would have won those games anyway. This year he had no choice the second time he started Nate. He also is not the most skilled clock manager yet. There are things to work on..... 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine he bought them because if the Bills org did it then I think it would have fallen afoul of the rules around the cap and gifts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true, didn't think about that, most businesses don't have a salary cap! Though some act like they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loyalty retains value, and other nice things factor into these matters. But keep in mind the Chris Kelsey contract. on that note ! hope it is a long term and guaranteed contract extension : ) Edited November 18, 2018 by 3rdand12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BADOLBILZ Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Young men don't like to spend money on practical things like winter boots. This is just a way of making sure they are taking care of their feet while gaining some equity rather than giving them out for free.......because *free* team swag and equipment is taken for granted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the way he communicates with his players and his ability to get the most out of very little , he seems like he was born to be a HC . Having worked for companies that constantly re-org I see first hand how organizations can end up in cycles of constant rebuilding. That is not to say that there is not a right time for a fresh Front Office start for some, but this just is not the case for this team which has one side of the ball figured out with a #1 defense, and have found the QB they want to groom and have a slew of draft picks and cap money to spend to help the other side of the ball next year. The McBeane combo is the right solution for a Bills squad that was top-heavy with underachievers with high-salaries. Some players I felt bad about because they were just injury prone, but the team, it's cap, and its drafting was in poor shape - McDermott and Beane knew what they were stepping into, and so did the Pegulas. Surprised that some fans seemed to be so unaware of the situation and what it would take to correct it. I even like the Daboll hire as I think he is usually able to craft a game plan that matches the talent he is given - even if it is chuck full of weak links. Love to see what he can do with a QB who starts to come of age with a few better pieces on the o-line and receiving threats.
