They are both great, but PM has a much better O-line, run game and overall probably better (but no worse) skill position players in the passing game (not to mention coaching - Reid, EB vs Dorsey?). If you exclude the QBs the Chiefs are a better team on both sides of the ball imo. The only reason we are competitive with them is Josh Allen.

Bills re-sign Brandin Bryant to active roster
starrymessenger replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall
He’s no good. A speedster who is not fast and runs into his own blockers. -

I know he can throw a strawberry through a brick wall but Josh is a fair weather Cali kid whose skills are greatly enhanced when playing in good conditions. Get a friggen dome already. -

And what was Brown doing (instead of blocking)? -
Ravens and Lamar do not reach contract agreement
starrymessenger replied to Steel City Mafia's topic in The Stadium Wall
He’s just not the sharpest knife in the drawer, even if not a bad dude. I wouldn’t pay him what he wants. He’s not PM or JA. Tag ‘em. Twice. Then goodbye lol. -

Not a good look for Lamar. He should be above getting into mudslinging with a fan. Maybe he was especially sensitive after the loss, but he needs to be above that. Criticism comes with the turf. Appearances are important and what you say and how you react to the inevitable scrutiny can have significant implications. Just ask Zach Wilson. -
Sure. Although functionally it can carry with the designation different responsibilities and serve a purpose other than the self evident one of working with the WRs in the development of passing concepts for addressing different game situations. Not all organizations do things the same way. Sometimes it's more just a title to distinguish a guy from other assistants when he's targeted for an OC or ultimately a HCing position. I guess your point is that if it (he) was good last year well he must be the same stellar character he was then. Thing is he's not called plays before (except maybe in training camp or preseason games idk) , so there may well be a lot of things in the playbook that we've seen before but maybe not so much since he's taken over. Daboll called the plays last year. Many of Dorsey's playcalls have been pretty awful situationally. Also as OC he's ultimately responsible for implementing the running game, which can help the passing game. Can it be that not having been the "running backs coach/coordinator" explains why he won't run the ball even when the situation calls for it and appears indifferent even when it's working well enuf? And of course one of the things that makes a good OC is the ability to make adjustments when things get figured out (as inevitably they do). I've not seen that in Dorsey. Looks to me like just doing the same thing that isn't working over and over again. With the same results. Maybe he can improve but he does need to start showing it.

And what was Daboll doing last year? Don't you think he was involved with Josh and the passing game? Dorsey's scheme and play calling seems lacking in concepts and sophistication (though somehow it's supposed to be complicated, or maybe that was last year) and, in any event, is not fooling opposing DCs. Moreover his ability to make needed adjustments, amongst other things, seems problematic to put it mildly. He needs to get better. Or go away.

JT O'Sullivan did a good breakdown of the Bills O in his segment on the Vikings game. Showed numerous clips of Josh sitting in the pocket waiting for routes to develop. Well into the down he would freeze frame the action to show what Josh got to see - which was the backs of his WRs. The majority of downs that were productive involved Josh freelancing outside the playcalls, almost always to his right. So again, pretty much everything on Josh's shoulders. As good as he is that's not what you want. Opposing Ds have clearly figured this clown show out. Pretty obvious Dorsey is for now in way over his head. I get it that he's new to the position but the guy has a ton of football experience, including as a QB. Why the deficiencies and possible solutions would be so evident to fans and commenters in general (like Greg Cosell) and lie beyond the grasp of the braintrust at OBD is a mystery to me. The only real advantage that PM has over Allen is AR and EB and a GM who looks to find the right tools for Patrick. Even if Dorsey starts to figure it out you have to wonder how long it will take to implement the necessary changes. If we don't see improvement soon Dorsey is definitely not the guy.
