He's been gone from the Bills for 6 years, is 37 years old, and if he signed with the Bills tomorrow, he would immediately become their best LB and it wouldn't be close.
Just one of many moves that has helped keep the Bills in the bottom 1/3 of the league for the last 13 years.
By far my favorite part of this entire thread...
"...Also, there is a private salon coming in to help groom Ralph and its been now relayed to him that the months of this season have been spent rehabbing, eating and trying to present a solid, healthy Ralph Wilson for the camera, but this is all for this recording."
"Happy" and "Proud" are words that should not be associated with this organization from a fan perspective, unless you are HAPPY that another dreadful season is over, and PROUD that the Bills will once again be picking in the top 10.
I didn't say he was involved in day to day operations. My point was that he is involved at some level in terms of the football operation. It may just be in terms of the hiring/firing of the GM, but more than likely he does have some say.
Don't put words in my mouth about player/coach selection. See my previous post directly above.
What about the Don Banks SI article referenced in a thread just started, that states Brandon is in favor of cleaning house. Sounds like he is plenty involved in the football operation.
Prove me wrong. Since when does a CEO have nothing to do with the business he is in charge of? Did he have any say in hiring Nix? If so, that is a major football decision. If he did not, his CEO title is a fraud.
...and Kelly for OC, Tasker for ST coach, Reed for WR coach, Thurman for RB coach, Bruce for DL coach, and bring back Chuck Lester to do....
whatever he did best.
So just because he is a HoF QB for the Bills, we should give up on finding anyone else with experience for scouting players & building a team, and instead say "why not?", and turn it over to Kelly? You have no idea how quickly and how bad it could really get.
^^^ This. Anything more than a figurehead type of position, and as I've stated before, I'd be worried about Kelly becoming the next Larry Quinn. For those not in Buffalo or who don't follow the Sabres, Quinn went from being a construction manager on the arena project, to a meddling FO wannabe, to being given a minority stake in the franchise, to cashing in that stake and walking away a wealthy man.
Be scared Bills fans of any Kelly appointment. Be very scared.
Did Brandon have any say in Nix getting hired as GM? If so, he is completely accountable for the product being put on the field. If he didn't have any say in regards to the hiring of Nix, then what exactly is he doing as CEO of this company known as the Buffalo Bills?
Williams, Mularkey, Jauron and now Gailey. Before them the likes of Rauch, Johnson, Stephenson, Bullough, Collier, etc...
I'm not suggesting they keep Gailey, just that it will be more of the same.
What a surprise...
The first decent(not even elite) offense the Bills have faced in the last 5 weeks, and they get lit up like a Xmas tree. I hope this puts to rest any notion that this defense is anywhere near ready to be playoff caliber. They better hope for a miracle to occur in the offseason with Atlanta, Carolina, New Orleans & Pittsburgh all on the schedule for next season.
The option plays that Wilson ran over and over and over again were downright embarrassing.
