Draft Strategy: Beane absolutely must draft around coaching this year


Recommended Posts

Hear me out. We’ve got threads espousing the virtues of drafting around offense, defense, and special teams but, much like the Bills since the turn of the millennium, everyone ignores coaching. I know, I know... people will argue continuity and that McDermott hasn’t been given a chance yet to succeed with his players... blah, blah, blah...

 

Consider for a minute the 2002 Buccaneers. Yes, the price was steep, but they won a Super Bowl. Let that sink in for a minute... Tampa Bay has won a Super Bowl. 

 

I say screw drafting for offense. Screw drafting for defense. And definitely SCREW drafting for special teams.

 

Pony up those 10 picks, plus whatever picks next year... and hell even the year after that if we have to and draft a coach (more accurately trade the picks for a coach, but you get the gist).

 

Now I’m not advocating we do it for Chucky... though it did work once. Honestly, I’m not sure who would be befitting that honor. But while we’re burning through picks I say we trade a few more to fill out the staff and bring in John Harbaugh as ST coordinator, Sean Payton as OC, and Bill Belichick as DC. 

 

Smell that?  It’s the sweet smell of success... which actually kinda resembles the smell of a skunk a little bit. A sweet, smoky, hunger inducing skunk.

We are in pretty good shape with McDermott. He is 15-17 the past 2 years with a below average roster. There have been points in the last 2 years where it was commonly thought that the Bills had one of the worst rosters in the NFL, yet McDermott has managed to keep the team competitive. I’m very interested to see how he does with an upgrade in talent and an emerging qb.

For the love of humanity, tell me this was just a troll/sarcastic thread. With that being said, that’s one hell of a long post, for what?

 

And people wonder why I included the phrase “this is a parody thread” in my ST post?

Has there ever been a post on an entertainment oriented message board on any topic that at its core wasn’t a means to waste time? Let’s not delude ourselves into believing we’re solving the world’s problems here (that’s what PPP’s for). :lol:

Plan on sharing whatever you are smoking with the rest of us?

Trust me, despite alluding to it, had I actually been smoking this thread would have quickly gone from bad parody to paranoid confession about posting stoned, which you all obviously would have known anyway based on the judgmental looks on the faces of your avatars.
