NeverOutNick Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 If we have to keep McD it’s a no brainer to keep Brady. He gets a full offseason to scheme properly and hopefully gets actual WRs to add with Shakir. Shakir is a great #3 but Brady and Josh need some young drafted stars in this loaded WR class (at least 2) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbbillsfan Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Don’t like it. I think he caught a couple teams off guard early in his tenure with a commitment to the run, but then was figured out. don’t see anything special/creative from his offense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBeaneBandit Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 While I think Brady needs to get a little more creative with the passing game, the one thing I like most about him is his willingness to not abandon the run. Hopefully he adds some nice wrinkles and new aspects to the passing game this off season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiners gunna whine, feed them to the pit. I cannot wait to see what Brady does with an offense that HE installs and runs concepts he develops. He won the NC at LSU with Joe Burrow and the greatest WR class in modern college football history. Ed Orgeron was the HC, that how good that LSU team was. Then he never finished in the top 20 with Carolina as was fired before his 2nd year ended. I don't know if people really understand Brady's full story. Not exactly a ton of evidence to suggest he is some hot and knowledgeable OC. More like a controllable retread. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loveorhatembillsfan4life Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 (edited) I am ok with this but let Brady install his Offense. I also hope that Brady is banging the drum for some Playmaking Wr. I think a lot of what we saw in running the ball was the realization that everyone could see.. our Wr room is not good enough. I think he does have a better feel for the game than Dorsey did by seeing our shortcoming. He was also willing to adapt plays from other teams that had success. Lets just hope Mcd is hands off with him. Mcd needs to worry about his side of the ball if they are going to investing in his D.

london_bills Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Does anyone have the stats of how the offense was under Brady compared with Dorsey? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GASabresIUFan Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 No coach can win without the right players. I thought Brady did a great job with the tools he had last season. How does an OC succeed with a rifled-armed QB when he has only 1 WR (Shakir) who catches the ball most of the time, a group of WRs who don't get open, and no true deep threat? He can't. Davis was running the wrong routes and dropping balls when they were thrown to him. Diggs dropped important passes at critical times and wasn't getting open in the 2nd half and Harty and Sherfield were wastes of roster spots. So Brady ran with Cook and Josh, and threw the ball to Kincaid and Shakir. It was enough to create a consistent ball control offense that earned the Bills a playoff spot and one a WC game win and nearly a Divisional game win. Now lets hope the Beane is smart enough to get the additional receivers Brady needs early in the draft. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I'm satisfied with it. I thought Brady did a good job under the circumstances and will be interested to see what he can add to the offense when he has an offseason to fully implement his own playbook and, hopefully, with some serious front office investment at WR.
