I expect him to have an excellent season.

everything, my brain still hurts from reading it.

So all the good that happened was in spite of him, all the bad was because of him. Got it, nice fair and balanced critique.

haha

No, that's fine. Thanks for not insulting me for raising the question. But honestly, I would think any coach but Rex would probably act in a similar way. I'm a huge Andy Reid fan, so the fact that McDermott worked under him has me optimistic, but i'll still wait and see. I think he has quite a bit a talent to work with, we should compete this season. No it shouldn't. There shouldn't be competition at QB, FB, RB, WR(1), TE, LT, LG, K, DE, DT's....

In that time a top 5 , championship level defense was built and a top 10 offense also. I believe we had the top rated special teams 3 years ago as well. Pegula hired Rex and messed it all up. Whaley gets canned because Pegula messed up.

Guess it depends who you talk to. Some on here 'blame' Whaley as assistant GM under Nix, so those same should give him credit for helping build a top 5 defense, which would have gone along beautifully with last years top 10 offense(thanks to the McCoy trade) if the coach that Pegula hired didn't mess the whole damn thing up.

One of the main functions of the draft is to 'fill holes', find replacements.... we also signed a number of free agents. This is how football works. NE spent millions on Gilmore to fill a need , we used a draft pick. Takes all kinds.

Some fans wanted to fire Marv after Super Bowl XXV. That's should tell you something.

We understand it didn't work out.

ok, the opportunity to start, the infatuation comment is still pretty ridiculous. He gave EJ a chance, but was backup most of his career. No infatuation. Just a word idiots like sullivan et al like to use to heap more criticism on whaley.

i know McDermott is not Rex, that in itself is a great thing, but I don't get all the love for him specifically. Maybe I'm missing something, but what has he done that we know of , not that we think he has done(like make draft day trades?) He's just not Rex , so far at least.

infatuated or didn't give up on him in year 1? He did sign TT to pretty much be the starter didn't he? He actually had some decent games as a rookie, didn't make sense to give up on him right away. Ridiculous criticism.

Nothing against him, but i'll wait til we at least have a practice or 2.

doesn't make much sense does it. If people like someone, it doesn't matter that he really hasn't done anything yet. but it will be left in his locker for him to take.

Many don't understand that. I think many fans were prepared to praise McDermott no matter what happened. Do you really think that McDermott was working the phones for trades? Because of his experience as a defensive coordinator?

I'm glad you're cool with that. Not that it matters. Sometimes I respond to other comment instead of initiating the converstion- you know, a back and forth kinda thing. It happens on threads. i'll give my opinion of the draft after they actually play some games. I just think it's ridiculous and reporters and fans hand out grades before the players even suit up to practice. It's like a teacher grading your exam right after she hands it to you. Nothing personal towards you, but your evaluations were more amusing than others. Really?

Any guess as to why you think the Bills ignored what you learned about these players?

You didn't give much good other material to comment on.

some fans love being miserable.

just curious, how often did you scout these players?

They picked him twice? McDermott doesn't know what he's doing.

Every site that covers the draft has mentioned the Bills and their draft picks. What makes you say that?

If we were ever super bowl contenders in the last 20 years, we probably would have signed some of those DB's to their 2nd contract. Made no sense at the time because of how the team was set up.

yeah, but that plays with a lot of people unfortunately. It's like it's wrong to smile and act happy.
