Sad day. For the younger folks here who never had a chance to read his stuff, go to si.com today and read some of his articles. Z was the best. Such a unique writing style and his analysis was based on exhaustive work watching film. Regards and sympathies to The Flaming Redhead.

The OP was two days ago so the entire thread is now moot.

They have two. Their names are McDermott and Beane

I wonder if coaches get drug tested

TV stations. Advertisers. Ticket sales.

ha ha ha

Maybe, but he's the guy right now, so play to his strengths and not his weaknesses. Drew Brees has no arm. Right. And yes, timing and decision making are admirable traits for a QB.

True. But those sideline outs are not his strength. So don't call them.

Daboll has to call plays that help the kid as well. The sideline outs are just a liability for the kid.

If you're a Bills fan you have to be rooting for the kid. I hope he lights it up Sunday. I doubt he will, I suspect we'll see another pick or two, and if it's a pick 6 that loses the game again I don't know how he'll be able to walk back to the sideline, let alone the locker room. But I'm rooting for him.

Don't be so full of yourself. You and the others around here root for the team, you don't make decisions. And by the way, Terry Pegula pays his salary.

If you honestly believe any HC of any pro sport bases their personnel decisions on the feelings of fans, then you have a very inflated view of what fans are.

Let's just say this is highly, highly doubtful.

Not sure you can coach separation. You can certainly coach route running. Guys that played with Brady would talk about how he'd go nuts if you were supposed to run a ten yard out and you broke at 9 yards.

You could have put all the names of the guys that didn't have a job in a hat, and just drawn any name. They're all the same guy.

Taron Johnson is working out OK as the slot CB as well

Ha ha ha

He does look good right now. But you're just being ridiculous if you think anyone will believe you felt he was a HOFer before the draft

I'll take your word for it but I also know they're were people thinking he'd be just another Texas Tech failure, who now swear they were his biggest fans predraft.

And plenty of people were skeptical. You pull your predraft opinion out of the archives and show me

It wasn't obvious then and it's not obvious now

Good discussion. When looking at the Glenn thing, you have to look at the whole picture. They knew they had to move up to get the guy they wanted, and there were only so many teams to have discussion with to do so. As it turns out Cincy was the one, and then you have to take into consideration their needs when discussing trades. They needed an LT, we had one that was hurt pretty much all last year plus we had a young guy to take that spot. So that made sense. Kind of a win-win, they got a player they needed, we got the position to take the QB we needed. As far as the rest of the line, they did bring in Bodine to play C when Wood retires. Amy not be the best guy out there, but I don't think there were many options at C in free agency. And Richie went nuts; could not have predicted that. I explained going into the regular season with two young QBs; they shouldn't have. We are just disagreeing on who the third guy should have been.

shady may be hitting that point in his career where he will be more effective in a complementary role. I liked seeing him and Ivory in the game at the same time last week. Shady is still a matchup nightmare for defenses when he's split out wide.

I'm hoping Tiller or Bottinger step up at G. I can't imagine they won't use some cap space on the O line and at WR.

You apparently did not actually read the article in the OP. The author specifically talks about Daboll doing a good job but being hamstrung by the talent. You can agree or not, but it would be nice for folks to read articles referred to before commenting.
