The all Sam Bradford thread
bobobonators replied to NextYearGuys's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I wouldn't be opposed to bringing in Sam Bradford. He's played a full 16 game season 2 out of his 4 years so we have a 50/50 shot..lol. He's 27yrs old and would at least be a legit option at QB. What would it cost to get him? -
Could they now keep Spiller?

I loved Spiller but focus on other players like Hughes and MD next yr -
Did Doug Marrone Quit on Buffalo Players?
bobobonators replied to HOUSE's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I think the jerk argument is mostly based on how he notified players and how he hasnt said a word to Bills fans yet. Not on the exercising of his option alone. -

Did Doug Marrone Quit on Buffalo Players?
bobobonators replied to HOUSE's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
You love to argue for the sake of arguing i think. How exactly would you classify Marrone's departure from Buffalo? Its a resignation. Marrone resigned as HC of the Bills. Resign = QUIT. Yeah he fulfilled an option in his contract, an option to quit but still get paid. He didnt HAVE to quit. He couldve just stayed on as well. It required a decision by Marrone. And that decision was to resign. Theres no other way to classify this despite your attempts at semantics. -
Did Doug Marrone Quit on Buffalo Players?
bobobonators replied to HOUSE's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I get what you're saying, it's all relative though man. Yeah, I'd LOVE a $4 million dollar severanace package, sure, b/c I make nowhere near that. Marrone was making over 1 MILLION at Syracuse as a coach and was making MILLIONS at Buffalo. $4 Million isn't THAT much when you've already been making Millions. It's relative. And others keep saying this will be his "last chance" at a payday. Really? Is he 90? He's a coach, not a player. He could go coach Rutgers or Syracuse 3 years from now and go back to making more than a Million a year if he wanted to. Reality is, he's a quitter and didn't want to be here anymore. There are people that when the going gets tough, they either hunker down, or they get going. Marrone appears to be the latter. -

It is - it's exercising an option to quit. -

You're being silly. Gailey was given 3 years and the highest win total he was able to achieve was 6 wins. I liked Gailey but he had to go, his w/l record was horrible. -

That's the thing, he's not guaranteed another job in the NFL. And no, not all of us would do the same thing. If I was offered an option of a crazy severance package by my company but no other job was lined up, or the option to stay with the same company, the decision wouldn't be automatic. This also wasn't his "last pay day". He made over a million a year at Syracuse as a HC. He could quite easily go back to college in the future and get another payday. He's a young coach, he's not a player with a shelf life of 3-4 years who'll be bagging groceries or delivering pizza after his playing career. -
Doug Marrone opts out of contract
bobobonators replied to The Poojer's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
hahaha..I agree man. If anything exercise would probably stimulate his mind a bit more allowing him to think clearer. But heck, what do I know. The offense played much like he looks: fat and lethargic. -
My final thoughts on Saint Dougie
bobobonators replied to BmarvB's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I think you're being really objective and I agree with a lot of your points. But #12 was in his control, and yes, he could've and should've done it better and for that I do blame him. Classless. -

Head Coach Candidate: Jim Schwartz

in an imaginary world, Id want Schwartz as my HC and bring in Scott Frost from Oregon to be OC. I have a raging football boner for Frost. One can dream. -
Doug Marrone opts out of contract
bobobonators replied to The Poojer's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I'd say it was Schwartz who should get the biggest Thank You/Hand job from Marrone. Without Schwartz leading what was arguably the #1 defense in the league (taking into account they're pretty much top 5 in every important category), Marrone would've finished 6-10 this season, 7-9 at best. -
So Hackett is gone for sure now?
bobobonators replied to Webster Guy's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
In all honesty I cannot imagine a new HC coming in and going with NH as OC. No way. Even if Schwartz is made HC, I see NH gone. This is a win-win for the Bills IMO. -

bobobonators replied to HOUSE's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I agree. Making phone calls isn't too much to ask is it? Heck, at least make phone calls to the leaders of the team, like MW, KW, Wood, etc. Christ is that too much to ask? Theres no defense for it in my mind. -
Has Marrone even given a statement?

HAHA. Thanks for the morning laugh YOLO. -

I would be OK with promoting Schwartz. Lord knows at least half the team responds to him, which is a lot more than couldve been said for Marrone -

Its the NFL. Nobody is above reproach. Especially when your coaching record is below .500. If Tom Coughlin's skin was as thin as Marrone's appears to be, he wouldve left NY years ago. But therein lies the difference between 2 men. -

Don't worry man, you should get a txt from him hopefully by tomorrow. He's gotta talk to Woody first. You know, priorities. -

bobobonators replied to HOUSE's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Screw loyalty. I get the whole "it's a business" crap. I get it. Would you quit your job after two years and simply send your coworkers/subordinates a txt saying "peace, i'm out". If I was close to a coworker and he pulled that, I'd think he/she was a POS and I'd be glad they were gone. But that's just me. And I know that happens sometimes in every sector, but it still says a lot about the person, regardless. Just my opinion. Marrone don't give a crap about my opinion, I get it. Just stating how I feel about Marrone. In the real world you'd have conversations with the people you were close to, and then send the obligatory farewell email to the rest of the coworkers you could care less about. Making 60 phone calls isn't too difficult. How many phone calls do you think he made to recruits when he was at Syracuse? Listen, this a personal stance. There's no wrong/right. Just how I feel. I'll move on now, as it's pointless to argue over it. -

Personally, you can't make phone calls? A mass txt? He didn't have time to call the players - even if he only called the team captains/locker room leaders/veterans? I'm not "demonizing" him - I'm calling it like it is. There are right ways and wrong ways to do things. I don't have to like it, but it still doesn't change the reality of how he went about it. It was half-assed and weak.
