John Warrow’s High Praise For Beane & McDermott Regime

I don't think you understand the definition of that word. -
John Warrow’s High Praise For Beane & McDermott Regime

Dude, please stop with the "you're a homer, you'll support everything" agenda because that is clearly not what I do. I simply look for positives and don't harp upon negatives. You know the old saying, "don't show me a problem, show me a solution?" That's me. Sammy has been a failed #4 pick, whether here, in LA, or in KC. He has not produced the sort of return expected for that kind of investment at this point in his career. -

You should be "flammed" for calling the Pegulas incompetent because that's an ignorant remark. At worst, the Pegulas are learning on the job and may have relied too heavily on people like Russ Brandon early in their Bills' ownership. It has been repeated many times that keeping a GM and scouting staff on board until after the draft is not uncommon, even if a change will be made. I still think it's reasonable to believe that until Whaley's abominable press conference post-Rex's firing he had at least a 50/50 shot of staying. Scott, I respect that you have opinions about what you think the Bills should or shouldn't have done, but it's not reasonable to label the Pegulas as "incompetent" with respect to what they have done regarding the Bills. The only fact that really matters is that Sammy Watkins has not been a reliable high-level contributor on any team he has played for thus far in the NFL, and for a 5th overall selection that's a failure. -
It'll catch on, I swear!

That's very productive. Of course it was discussed. I was responding to a specific Gunner post in this thread. -

My first comment was that it makes sense. I just believe that would be a huge deal and I can't imagine Rivera and the Panthers being "ok" with it. They're not dumb either. -

What you're suggesting is basically the equivalent of insider trading or corporate espionage. I just don't think it would be swept under the rug. -

True, but Rivera is still there. -

This all makes sense. But if it is true why would the Panthers and Bills still be "friendly?" Beane arguably helped the Bills draft at the expense of his (then) current employer. -
Joe B’s roster of 53 prediction, one month from TC
eball replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Well, sure, of course they need to mesh, but the guys they signed did perform reasonably well with their previous teams so I don't think it's realistic to think they'll suddenly get worse. -
Frank Gore, not LeSean McCoy given odds for rushing title
eball replied to HOUSE's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I see more designed runs, but fewer "oh schitt" runs because the OL let through a jailbreak and we had Kelvin Benjamin and Charles "my knees hurt" Clay loafing around the place. -

It's really a shame his first name isn't Todd. -

The blowouts last year were the result of an offense featuring Peterman, raw Josh, and DA -- with Benjamin as the #1 WR. The game vs. Chicago at home (Peterman's last start) was the first Bills game I made no effort to watch live in as long as I can remember. Absent some pretty crazy stuff happening I just can't see that sort of ineptitude returning. -

I'm intrigued by Daryl Johnson at DE. If he can't beat out Love to make the roster I feel like he's a prime PS candidate. Raw but great size and measurables for the position, if I recall. If memory serves, he couldn't last a full game either. -

Nah. Opinions are one thing. Belittling those who don't agree with one's opinions is another. -

I'll give you credit for one thing. You've managed to shift the conversation so that if the Bills are successful you'll now be able to point to this post and say "see, I told you so. Any team given these advantages should have done it." Well done. -

What happens in your world if the Bills have a winning record/make the playoffs this season, and become a perennial contender for the next ten years? At that point do you give McD and Beane a "pass?" Or are you absolutely convinced that has no chance of happening? Just curious as to how your mind works... -

I flipped by the channel for this and saw that charlatan Osteen praising Jesus and immediately vomited, then changed the channel. -
Schedule makers give Bills big advantages vs Jets
eball replied to Inigo Montoya's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Nah, even I don't believe that. Scott's a fan, just a disgruntled and skeptical one. -

Jesus, this almost smells like optimism. -
This is a solid post. It's the old nature vs. nurture argument -- how much of what and who we become is a result of our environment (parents, etc.) vs. our own genetics? Sometimes fakked up kids come from "great" environments and sometimes incredible kids come from ***** ones. There's probably some level of predictability but it's certainly not an exact science. In any event, what this radio host did is in extremely poor taste.

@SoTier I have one simple question (and follow up) for you: What, in particular, are you trying to get Bills fans to admit? And why?
