I've been following the AFC East teams since last offseason quite a bit. I, personally, am not high on Flores at all, but he currently has player's loyalty. He operated similar to McDermott in shipping out the players who would be problems for the most part. However, I think he puts on too much of a tough guy act and seems to really crave attention (he want that genius moniker that Belichick has badly and it shows) so does things like taunt players (see: Jarvis Landry) and makes poor decisions (co-coordinators instead of going out and getting a proven guy that might challenge him). Those type of guys can get loyalty by jettisoning players short term, but you have to win to keep it. The massive let down against the Bills to make the playoffs is the type of thing that knocks that loyalty. Once he really starts to lose it, it will evaporate quickly.

That would be news to almost everyone who follows the Dolphins. Flores is not on the hotseat. If he fails to make the playoffs this year then he's likely on the hot seat next year, but he is absolutely safe this season barring a full on meltdown and player revolt. Daboll won't be replacing Flores because it is extremely unlikely he will be fired this offseason.

Don't use that accountant for your taxes unless you want to end up in jail or paying big penalties. "The jock tax stipulates that players must pay the relevant taxes for any states that they happen to play a game in. For example, when New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton travels to Oakland to play the Raiders, he is responsible for paying California state taxes on the money he gets paid for that game." https://www.sportscasting.com/how-do-taxes-work-in-the-nfl/

He's likely to be #4 within a year.

It doesn't matter where his 'home' is..

how do you people manage to go outside on a daily basis without having a complete breakdown?

I may not care about either of these two teams a whole lot, but I'll never be disappointed by the Cowboys looking like crap

Heard he's retiring to Kraft's special office in Florida so he can continue receiving special favors.

turns out the pit to hell is not a popular place to live

What's wrong with the practice squad? He was a 6th round pick... if some other team had wanted this guy they could have had him.

Finally moving Josh to his natural position at RB

Stop letting logic get in the way of a good crusade

So are you still waiting then?

-TBD melts down when Edmunds is named All Pro and makes the Pro Bowl - Neither Lawrence or Wilson have the best rookie season for a QB - Brian Flores finishes 3rd in the division and is on the hot seat. They draft a QB early, but insist it's just as a backup and they believe in Tua - The Pats push the Bills for the division. Not ever really in jeopardy, but the Bills are only 1-2 games ahead for a fair portion of the season (you can't win more games than you play) - The Colts weather the adversity and end up with a winning record. Reich coach of the year

Is it just me making this up in my head, but are the days of not bringing in legit competition for QBs not what they used to be? Seems like there are a lot more battles among those '2nd' or '3rd' tier QB like Garoppolo having guys drafted or signed to challenge them. That addage of if you have 2 QBs, you have zero Qbs doesn't seem to be as strong anymore.

Depends on who you are...seems like several people made a lot of money off that project. Not you, not me, but seems like a great economic opportunity for a select few who never had to face consequences for some reason.

Like I said, this all came from one reporter with no real connection to the Bills. If it wasn't entirely made up, the sourcing is extremely suspect.

Already has a thread: The Joe Judge out front should have told ya..

Gase was awful, but his awfulness fooled them hard into believing Darnold was also not awful.

eh, I'm not sure about this, but I'll try a few gallons of it to see if it's worthwhile.

In Jets news, they put on pads and somehow their offensive line did much, much worse than without pads. Bad day for their O in general because of the pressure. Same for the Dolphins,

2nd year OL Cameron Clark

There always has to be one... On a side note, I've been following all of the camps and Robert Foster is now that guy for the Dolphins.

I'm not sure what this meandering rant has to do with my comment that Beane being in on a guy doesn't necessarily mean that the offer was likely to be taken by the player.

Keep in mind, there's more than 1 reason to "be in on a guy". Beane may have had interest, but also could be doing something like gauging the market. "Being in" doesn't mean likely to actually do so.
