Who gives a flying crap It's their money, and they will make it back 15 seconds into the first game. And Terry has made it clear that his goal for the Sabres and Bills isn't to make money. Fracking makes alot more than a pro sports franchise.

Money for nothin' for sure....

I'm shocked there hasn't been more interest in him. It's tempering my enthusiasm at the moment. But he might help us out alot if signed.

Yeah and with Michael Jasper at DT nobody will be able to run up the middle!

Well what we've been doing isn't working. It's not like it's unheard of, and we need a shake-up.

This is true... But more concerning is the narrative that Trent was any good at any point. Saying he was bad after that Wilson hit implies there was proficiency before that moment. Captain checkdown was horrendous and painful to watch since the beginning. If anyone thinks we 3-and-out alot now (we actually do), it was way worse with Trentative. Let's be honest here that any win coming during his tenure was due to the bend-don't-break cover 2, RB, and ST. The 7 games we won every year with him were despite him not because of him. I hope there are no similarities.

Don't blame reefer for OP's lunacy. Buffalobud420 and billsbareback should be buddies. They know more than everyone else. Duh. Oh, also.... This thread is a train wreck. And saying something stupid becomes compounded when you double down and defend it. How in the sam hell could you even glean a philosophy from an asst GM, even if that were a thing and/or mattered at all?

McDermott just ran the draft. Clearly, as even the team has supported that. You really think they would only let him do that the first year, and then it defaults to the GM? Doubtful in my mind. McD is the man at OBD, and any GM will be "on the same page", most likely with McD's pre-approval.

Closet Pats* "fan"? Or out of the closet? I'm confused because your post screams "I'm a Pats* fan" from the rooftops, but you joined long ago, back before there were any fans in Foxborough. Quite a conundrum.

I don't much care what Pats* fans have to say. I am happy they are pat fans though, it makes it easier to know who not to interact with. It's like a dunce cap or a scarlet letter.

Yeah idk why everyone is so sensative to these firings all of the sudden. If I failed to do my job well for an extended period of time I would expect to be fired too.

None of these names would surprise me. I wonder if they already have a favorite or if they are gonna start interviewing everyone. Beane would seem a little too convenient to me if they don't at least talk to some other candidates, so I like hearing them linked to some legit GM targets

I don't agree with this. What would be the point of keeping Woodrum or Yates over Cardale? What's the upside there? Cardale has had almost no game time at all please don't tell me you can accurately evaluate him as a QB, or particularly a QB in this system... My point exactly. Well articulated.

I would be very surprised if Cardale gets cut. Makes sense to have Tyrod, Cardale, and Peterman on the roster this year in my opinion. None of those guys are going to realistically "step in and win" so no matter what if Ty goes down, it's season over so you might as well keep the prospects rather than known crappy backups.

I hear you OP. And I get the feeling... Just a gut feeling I have that the Pegulas have shut off the peanut gallery, stopped being molded by outside influence, and are making an honest effort to be successful owners the right way. I really believe that McDermott is our coach for 5 years regardless of his success rate. They realize that they do not know football and have identified someone they believe does. Now they owe it to themselves, Sean, and the fans to let him implement his plan, completely, autonomously, until it is apparent whether it works or does not work.

No I am not concerned. And as he said it's not even about the "high character", it's about availability. High character guys put the team in front of themselves and make decisions aimed at making sure they are available. Fits in with his draft style too where he said he likes guys that played for long stretches and don't have an injury history. They played "consistently" as he put it. Look at the problems that got Whaley fired... Dareus, Sammy, Harvin, Lawson, Ragland, etc... They were not available. By all accounts all great players or great prospects, but could not stay on the field. McD understands that the best ability is availability. He was just trying to win a Nobel prize. Dareus smoked one and told him they were handing out Nobels to people "out standing in their field". Semantics are hard for some guys.

Lol And that's how tons of good punters get to the NFL. To the point where a GM could catch some ribbing for drafting one. I would be shocked if Schmidt makes the team. Likely list in my mind. Only other people I could see McD even consider would be Shady or Cordy

I support the spirit of this thread... ... But tread lightly on country music, friend. People criticizing right now... Well those people probably complain that the sun is too bright or the beer is too cold. We walked in with 6 picks, walk out with 6 picks but get 3 potential starters and an extra 1st next year. But alas, whiners gotta whine.

I think so. Read some of the stuff coming out of obd right now media-wise. The articles constantly harking on" mcDermott's decision", or how "he felt" or "his plan". It's clear they are putting distance between these decisions and Whaley. Seemed odd to me how many times they hammer home that it's all up to Sean. I would bet it's tomorrow morning or monday.

Oh, the obligatory "I'm done with them" thread. They never are.

That's the second time in this thread you accused someone of embarrasing themselves. Yeah... You actually said that to someone else, after all the nonsense and namecalling you have partaken in over the last 12ish hours, I'm quite shocked you are still around to even make this thread. You claiming to know for sure is just as bad as other claiming the opposite is true for sure. There is no proof either way just conjecture, or else everybody would believe the same thing. But go on with your crusade of insults and condescension, a mod will shut you down at some point.

Right, and somebody gave US a first round pick so they could reach for a qb. Flip the script, we trade 2 1st's for a not even first round talent prospect and we would be the clowns of the draft, but Reid does it and he's a genius... Lol

They gave the NFL the 10th pick and got a top 60 player in return. That is worth a laugh in KC?

So you are upset for lack of a 20 year plan that spans 2 different owners, 6 GM's, and 10 HC's? Would be quite the logistical nightmare to coordinate this plan. Also, not overpaying talent, replacing them with young talent, at a much more manageable cap number, and two extra picks to boot seems pretty conventionally appealing. Just the type of thing that great teams do. We aren't a great team yet that is no doubt, but this is a great team type move. Well put. Plus he, you know.... tackles.

I wonder if that was part of todays trade, getting the ammo to move up next year for someone, meanwhile giving them another year to make a decision on Tyrod. Maybe save the Tyrod decision for the rumored new GM?
