Hey, Virg.

A lot of things make him a bum. And he's only there because of his last name. Would love to see him turn his life around (which looks to be in progress) and become a better person. That would be great for him. But he is not deserving of another chance to play in the NFL, in my opinion.

Fair points. I like McDermott. A lot. I think he can, and will, be a great and successful coach - and I think he'll do that with the Bills. Situational play calling on offense is my biggest concern. What I don't know is whether it's all Daboll, or if McDermott has a hand in it, as well. But as the head coach, he is overall responsible. Game day roster management is my only other significant concern. Specifically - Gore should have been shelved the final third of the season and Duke should have been active in WAY more games. Activating him for a playoff game, then making him a significant part of the offense that day ... I'm still scratching my head. And to get this back on topic - Knox as misused and overused; especially when they had other options at TE. I love Knox and think he's gonna be great. But he was not great last year. It was clear what he could do well and what he could not do well. They (Daboll and/or McDermott) continued to force him into situations in which he'd not been doing well. Another head scratcher.

Perhaps Montana and Jordan had more morals than Jimbo. Name one QB who's had this many chances with a career stat line of one rush for -1 yards and 0 passes? He's a bum.

Patriots were in control of their cheating.

You are so effing cute. Bless your little heart.

I think it's ridiculous that they make you wait a certain period of time before allowing you to wear a vest.

I wonder if Buffalo will be on that list. What can Brown do for you?

Great point, re: the occasion. When younger, my son would get bday cards/money in the mail from my brother/his family (we don't see each other a lot because his wife is a c) and a friend of the family. I always asked him to call and thank them. Really quick, "hey, I got the card, thank you so much," a little obligatory small talk, and done.

With new information every day, I'm interested to see how the votes change. As of today ....

This was uncalled for and mean.

Such a windy day for a place with no air.

Hollywood never ceases to amaze me.

Agreed, re: electronic thank yous. I see nothing wrong with it.

OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

McDermott should be a better coach - specifically with gameday coaching and gameday roster management. So yes ... he absolutely emulate Belichick.

Belichick has 7 rings.

Although, as you said, not enough for MLB teams, that is a sweet park for a AA team!!!

Similarly to the Bills, the Mets spent plenty of money. What they didn't do (and continue to not do) is get a good GM who knows HOW to spend the money.

I was just thinking about Beane creating a culture of accountability. When he screwed the pooch by going into a season with Peterman starting and rookie Allen as the backup, he came out and admitted he effed up and he made better decisions moving forward. Great to see that from players. It's missing from two people ... McDermott and Daboll. They have yet to admit/own when they eff up. But this is a Knox thread, so I'm going to get back on topic. I think Knox will fix this issue and be a force for years to come.

It's just another example of Daboll not designing an offense that takes advantage of the strengths of the players on the roster. But instead, designing an offense then expecting the players on the roster to execute the plays, regardless of their strengths/weaknesses. It's simply not what successful coaches do. But yes ... there's a lot of upside with Knox and being consistent with catching the easy ones will make him a top notch TE with all the goods.

This is all fine and dandy. I love Knox and think he can/will be great. My question is this: Since every Bills fan saw the problem, I think it's safe to say that McDermott and Daboll realized what the problem was. So .... why the ***** did they keep throwing it to him with Sweeney and, to an extent, Kroft and Smith? At some point, one would think that one of them would say, "this ain't working. Let's just throw the tough sideline passes to him and leave the over the middle stuff to Sweeney." Anyway, I do believe Knox will fix this and be a force for years to come.

I love that these young QBs (the real ones; not Chad Kelly) are having fun. Great for football.

Well, I mean, the OP pretty clearly defined the parameters. As a law-abiding citizen, I believe in following rules. Are you an anarchist? You're starting to make me nervous.

Oh, don't get me wrong ... I think the thread was worth creating!! But Chad Kelly is a friggin' joke and a true scumbag. I can't believe people are still interviewing him.
