One guy, lol. Anyway, nice try but it was hardly obvious and the reasons for what transpired are beyond well worn territory on the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the QB was obviously a big problem, there were many others involving draft picks, salary cap management etc. The lack of a good QB was always THE problem. The Bills ran out some very talented defenses, receivers, and RBs over the years. It's why they were never 2-14 despite bad quarterbacks. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeF Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Pretty out of character for coach McD. I am going to give him a pass -- a tough week when the D was exposed a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, and they backed themselves into a corner in Whaley's first year where they just had to draft one early, and it just so happened to be one of the worst years ever for QBs. They botched up the position for so long in so many different ways, obviously. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, nice try but it was hardly obvious and the reasons for what transpired are beyond well worn territory on the forum. Andy Reid and Sean Peyton are two of the best QB evaluators and coaches in the league, period. They wanted him. I'd trust their opinion about his talent level coming out, and the fact that both wanted him tells you all you need to know. The fact that teams that kill QB careers for a living - Chicago and Buffalo - didn't take him tells me nothing.

Just because you have money in your pocket, doesn't mean you have to go out and buy a Porsche or Benz....you can hold that money to assure future signings of your own elite, uninjured, non-headcase players. (No offense to the Versa Note owners on this board....ahem, @Gugny...ahem) You're gonna get the Lambo, though, right? Because if not I have a problem... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody really knows what ANY of these guys will do ... but it wont stop the narrative, and try as you might? It still reflects poorly on a teams decision making. We heard forever how "We coulda had Gronk, we coulda had Rogers",and those misses were part of the failure narrative for years (Except to Torell Troup) If Allen isn't the guy and Mahomes/Watson stay on their current trajectory? You're gonna hear about it for years to come Edited October 30, 2019 by AlCowlingsTaxiService typo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALLEN1QB Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 I agree to a point but I also feel that if a team it's not maximizing there cap space every year they're not giving 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is right. That was a massively bad trade in retrospect. I can see being a little gunshy after that debacle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seven-N-Nine Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 33 minutes ago, Gugny said: He didn't say anything. If he had balls, he'd have either said, "this team was set behind years by the previous GM and HC," or said, "Brandon Beane and I have already made bad decisions and we're trying to avoid making more," or both. But he said neither. His wording is cryptic and weak, if you ask me. The coaches who are open with the fans and media just don't last very long, I'm sure McDermott knows this.
