Why did 2014 have more "influence" than 2013? Does that mean we should give less credit to Roman in 2015 because it was only his first year and he didn't have much "influence?"
These posts are just super inaccurate. Taylor wasn't available, neither was McCoy, how was he supposed to acquire them? Incognito, I agree with, I wanted him brought in back in 2014.
Here you are sitting talking about how he drafted WR's and QB's (both very good investments in the modern NFL) but then talk about run specialist WR's brought in. Who was the best run blocking WR on the Bills in the last 4 years? It was Woods. The guy, you know, drafted when Marrone was the HC? We also traded in essence Stevie for Bryce Brown. Marshawn Lynch wasn't on the block, you know. And Whaley loved him some Spiller.
Harvin played 7 games, most of them hobbled, in two years for the Bills, and he's the one you give credit to for the running game? That's certainly a first. And Tate barely saw the field as a WR. He was on the field for 14% of our total offensive snaps.
Not to mention the inaccuracy in the bolded below...
You become a good rushing team when you have a good scheme and good players. When Marrone was here, we didn't have the latter. It's hard to say he wouldn't have been successful on the ground with McCoy, Taylor and Incognito. I'd say he probably would've been pretty good.
