So your saying coaching matters 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will. Next draft.

I'm not arguing whether the decision was right or wrong, the point is the team did have talent when McDermott took over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks like he's mainly thinking "man, I shouldn't have bought a house here.." The genius of Daboll is still in Buffalo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also not arguing whether they had some talent. They did. But even still, most prognosticators had them as a 5-6 win team prior to trading Watkins and Darby and a game or two lower after trading them. What I was saying is that it was absolutely the right decision to trade those players because it reset the culture. And those guys were barely productive after they left Buffalo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
