They make decisions I agree with and ones I don't. I just don't get all crazy like some around here if they make one I don't like. I also realize they have access to a whole lot more info than I do on which to base their decisions. i also don't buy into conspiracy theories like guys have to be Christian or they get cut. In that regard it's interesting Kerley went to TCU

The HC of any sports team from pee wees to Pros is the leader, makes the decisions good or bad.

You seemingly refuse to understand that because someone makes a decision you don't like that it means they didn't think about it.

So Allen is just a physical talent but Jackson is polished already. Ok.

I hate to keep bringing this up but this HC is also the one who led them to the playoffs last year.

Yes they do. Just because you don't like a decision doesn't mean they don't put a lot of thought into them.

You need another * and a couple of ??

I am one who assumed McCarron would be the guy while Allen got ready. Peterman beat him out then threw up on himself. I hope they will now sign a guy like Anderson.

Wouldn't surprise me to see him kind of move on and off the roster. Can't see any other reason for the move.

I think Daboll is perhaps the most important decision made in the offseason, for better or worse.

Again I don't understand the move. But I do think it's funny to watch the reactions. They make it up as they go along, they have no plan.... If there's anything we should know by now it's that Beane and McD think through their decisions. Doesn't mean the decisions pan out.

We'll see. I like everyone am very interested to see how Allen does. I hope they let him loose -and don't try to coddle him. Of course it would help if the line and guys like Benjamin decide to play.

Earlier this week there was hysteria over a RT from the practice squad, so this shouldn't becsurprising. Not that I understand the Kerley move.

Yeah Khari. He's their blocking TE. Given they let a WR go andvthe state of the line I will be stunned if he sits tomorrow.

I don't understand the move myself. The DT I get. I wonder if they see better matchups with the TEs vs. WRs tomorrow. Be interesting to see the inactive tomorrow. If Lee sits again I'll be scratching my head.

I don't see why they did this but to say they don't plan seems silly. You just don't like their plan

Well. Don't get this one.

Question. Is it not correct that, to get the protection and nurturing you want, they would have used all their picks on other players and hence would not have drafted the guy you want protected and nurtured? Different ways to build teams of course.

I could spend the rest of the day listing all the successful HCs in the NF L that were "inexperienced" as a HC before they got the job. I'll just start with a few guys named Lombardi, Landry, and Noll. And we could add from there. As for GMs there was a guy named Polian. You may have heard of him before. And a number of others. Again, it could take all day. The key is any organization, which I emphasized and which you in your usual way either refused to read or understand, is to have your HC and GM in synch. The Bills have that now. We'll see how they do. Oh, and to say Beane had no experience dealing with personnel is laughable. You are so tied up in wanting to put a negative spin on every single thing done at OBD that you refuse to read. Or you have no idea how to comprehend what you read. Go back to ranting about how Terry could care less about winning and just wants money from you. It's more amusing.

Same old thing for years and years, huh? List the playoff teams last year. you probably won't because you'll be too busy ranting about how Terry just wants to suck money out of your wallet...,

You clearly have no understanding of how the Pat's work or of how successful organizations become so.

Incorrect. You have to give good coaches time to get things set in place. You think Cleveland doesn't regret keeping Belichick now? I see your point though, and would say that identifying a guy that will be a successful HC in the NFL (or pretty much any pro sports team) is about as difficult as picking the right QB. It is very difficult to figure out what coordinators have what it takes to make that next step up. Some excellent coordinators top out at that level and flame out as HC. Ryan was a perfect example. I was very skeptical when Terry hired him, because I never felt he was a good HC, while he was a great DC. Terry quickly figured out his mistake in that case. It comes down to having to have synchrony between the coaching staff and front office on a style of play, so you aren't changing schemes every three years or so, and then have to jettison certain players because they don't fit, and so on. You jus keep spinning your wheels in that case. Baltimore hired Harbaugh with no HC experience, and when Ozzie took over he had never been a GM. Just as one example.

Brady Montana Unitas Graham Rogers/Manning

The Pats have had one HC in Belichick through their entire run. They have had Scarrnecchia coaching their O line for years. When guys get hired away because of their success they promote from within. Nice try. The most successful teams decide of their philosophy, have the front office and coaches in synch n that philosophy so they draft the right players, look at the right free agents, etc. Steelers, Packers, Pats, Ravens. Let Beane and McD do their jobs. We'll find out in a few years if their philosophy works. It did last year.

maybe they realize that the most successful NFL teams have continuity in their front office and coaching staffs.
