There is talk about Watkins here in Atlanta...talk about put up or shut up time. There would be no doubt who is getting all the attention with Julio on one side. Ryan isn’t the best QB but he is darn good. I actually think Watkins in Atl makes a ton of sense if they can get the money right.

Zay is going to be a good player for the Bills. He may not turn out to be the next Moulds or Reed but he will makes some big catches and have a very solid career. Number like Stevie Johnson’s but on a winning team.

Exactly right about structuring the deal. I would expect the bills pro scouts are working with Beane and McDermott on who is available that would fit the scheme and most likely cost less. If i was the Bills i would keep things cordial but let Gaines test the waters. See how the league views his injuries and the fact that he was surrounded by 3 other players that had great seasons. The injuries are not just something that occurred just this season. I think a strong base salary of $7 mil + time played and wins incentives could be good landing spot for everyone. If Gaines stayed healthy and the Bills won 11 games and had a dominant defense, i think the Bills would gladly pay him 10 million a year.

Eh, it is February. There is most likely zero sense of urgency by either side. I know i wanted something to happen , because i wanted something to happen.

Did he ‘rise to the occasion’ in the Rose Bowl in the second half and OT?

This could very well be true. I also think this time of year plenty of vets consider retiring. The season take a huge toll physically, mentally, and emotionally on these guys. Many of them rest and heal up and get hungry to play again. i can see Gronk first transitioning to wresting with some bit acting in movies on the side. Wrestling will help him work on his timing and others skills needed for acting. He will take the Rocks path ultimately if he can learn to be a good movie star. To me their is a difference between a movie star and an actor. Tom Cruise movie star and I see Tom Hanks as an actor. I think Gronk has been acting for a long time. He displays a persona that I doubt is really who he is. side note, was the elbow to White an audition for wresting?!

Good for Frank. Indy got the Reich one after all that!!

Kirby needs to win a Nat’l Championship in the next 3 years or people will be thinking he can’t coach up talent recruited. This was Sabans worse recruiting class since being at Bama. That was the point of my post. No doubt Saban can win with new coaches at different positions. I think though the massive turnover the last 2 seasons is impacting the talent being brought on campus.

i Think this thread shows that everyone looks for something different in what they would consider a satisfying work place. Some guys want to have fun and occasional success while others would rather have a more professional environment that produces more sustainable positive results. Finding the right fit ultimately is what all organizations and individuals need to reach their goals.

UGA just set a record for the most Five Star recruits with this last class. I am the first to say Kirby Smart now needs to turn that into a National Championship. I am wondering if this could this be the beginning of the end for Coach Saban? The loss of all the assistant coaches might be taking its toll where it counts the most, finding talent and getting them on campus.

I like the continuity possibility from The two working together at Bama. As others have stated analytics is all about establishing patterns. Using the patterns to exploit tendencies by another coach. I think it would help if you have two guys who are looking for and speaking the same language.

Let me tell you getting shot down by the last girl left isn’t a good feelin either.

If the Bills spend a first round pick on qb, I wouldn’t be opposed to them taking one later in the draft that they felt fell to them.

That is great. I am not sure why, but i want Zay to have a good 2018 season even more. I hope we see more constant play out of Zay, he has the ability.

One place all the staff turnover is affecting is recruiting. I’m not ready to write off Bama.

Where Jimmy G and Daboll tight in NE? this is why I should not check my phone when I need to take a pee. Damn getting old.

Let’s check back in a few years and see who is better of, Colts with their new HC or McDaniels in NE.

Right coach, right system he will thrive. Doug Pederson, a back up his entire career, is the perfect coach and play caller for Foles. Personally i doubt Foles ever plays as well as he did in the NFC Championship game and the Super Bowl. There are examples all over the place of guys getting on a hot streak. Foles will be back with Philly and the opening day starter i have to think.

Kind of like Dick Lebeau. Tried the HC thing for a few years, and then went back to defensive coaching positions.

Great topic. The Bills two picks are prime for someone with an early second to move up. The slotting of back to back picks by the Bills could give some needed time to negotiate a good deal. I would trade back into the first 5 spots of the second this year to grab another second next year and maybe a third or fourth this year.

Eagles win the SB

this is one of the more entertaining games I have watched In a while for the NFL. I had absolutely zero expectations and little interest. I am now wanting to watch the second half.

If Mayfield is there then to me that signifies buyer beware. I will not claim to know more than any coach or scout in the NFL. I also have not spoke to Mayfields coaches or Mayfield. I only base my opinion on what I watched against UGA. Mayfield is an emotional player. If Mayfield makes it out of the top 12 there is a reason. Just like there was for Loseman, Manuel, Barkley, Quinn....etc I would be cautiously optimistic for a first round qb choice. I also know it doesn’t mean the answer to the question at QB has necessarily been solved.

Is there anyone from the Pats or Eagles that Daboll could be bring in?

Could this be Tyrods way of saying cut or trade me?
