The obvious way to immediately make the team better at QB is to sign Colin Kaepernick.
He's by far the best option out there and he would be, by far, the best QB on this roster, including Allen.
It won't happen.
Pegula's made donations to Republicans for a while now which isn't surprising considering his business endeavors. There's no way they sign Kaepernick.

If there's one thing about Belichick and Brady is they're horrible at making halftime adjustments. We got this.

Saw this coming about 5 minutes into Hard Knocks... ?
I saw three coaches who didn't want to work with each other. Two of the most unlikable (but competent) coordinators in the league and Hue Jackson who seemed a little too nice for both.

Someone must stop them from getting to the Super Bowl... Please!!
If Chiefs get #1 seed Pats are toast in Kansas City. Book it.

I really hope Josh Allen works out so I don't have to hear whining for ten years about how we didn't take Mahomes or Rosen (if he works out). The whining is getting ridiculous.

I suppose the purists will hate this, but how about switching to a 7 inning game?
You're right. What you're suggesting is downright blasphemy. The one game play in Wild Card game was the worst change the sport has ever made. It's a rare occurrence for a game to go on that long, but what I love about baseball (compared to the other three leagues) is you keep working until you get the job done. There's no clock you're up against. No special rules. You play at least nine innings damn it and if it's tied..... you'll play all night if you have to until there's a winner.

Red Sox pry had one of the greatest seasons/postseasons in MLB history (120-57). Certainly the best since the '98 Yanks (125-50). My theory with their four World Series titles this decade is that Alex Rodriguez slapping the ball out of Arroyo's glove reversed the fortunes of both franchises.

So, it's all over twitter that the 97 year old woman killed was a Holocaust survivor. Except that she wasn't..............Why do you think this keeps getting reported?
Because it's twitter. I don't see any major news outlet reporting it.

Maria Butina, Russian gun rights advocate charged in federal probe, moved to Va. jail

AP Investigation: Russian charged as secret agent, Maria Butina, studied US groups’ cyberdefenses for student project
... but we're supposed to believe Russia didn't influence the 2016 Presidential election????
Decided to go through this thread because I haven't heard about Russia in a while. I don't think anybody on here is saying Russia didn't try to influence the election as their ability to spread fake news through twitter, facebook, and other social media platforms have become more sophisticated. Just that there's been no hard evidence up to this point that Trump colluded with the Russians (I'll wait for Mueller's report to come out). If anything, the Russian probe has maybe pushed the Trump administration to take a harder stance with Russia.

I don't think you lose the locker room if you trade him as players are smart enough to realize that if you're 2-6 you're pry not making the playoffs.
I would trade him if you get a fair offer, but wouldn't unload him for a 4th round pick or worse. If not, let him play out his contract and RB is one less thing you have to worry about this offseason.
-
I don't think you lose the locker room when you're 2-5 and soon to be 2-6. Players understand that a lost season means you make every move you can and build for the future.
I don't know what Philly is thinking right now. Ajayi is a free agent after this season so trading for McCoy for the rest of this year and having him next year makes sense. I think a deal gets done.

You guys are right, words from people in leadership positions don’t matter!
Of course they matter but "I'd like to punch that guy in the face" to "I'll pay your legal bills" is a a far cry from saying send pipe bombs to my political critics.

Too bad he's not black, because nothing says mental problems to the left like a black Trump supporter.
If you're talking about Kanye, I knew he had a screw loose 10 years ago. I would say the "Uncle Tom" label is more accurate of immediately being attributed to black Republicans.

It doesn't matter. Trump is not to blame no matter how much stupid crap he says at rallies. I don't blame the Beatles because some of their tracks may have influenced Charles Manson.

A lone nut with mental problems is what I predicted as the simplest explanation is usually the right one.

You can't tell. You can argue it. You can assume it. You can't know it. In those three stints he had three crappy offensive rosters. Crappy.
And he was hired afterwards by two of the canniest tactical minds in football. And in his one year at Alabama they won a national championship while switching QBs in midstream. Jalen Hurts improved a lot, but not enough to satisfy Saban. So they substituted in a better QB and lo and behold Daboll's entire mind changes and he becomes brilliant.
Significant improvement would be nice. But it shouldn't make the difference. What should make the difference is McDermott's feeling about how good a job Daboll is doing. Is the roster holding him back? Is he doing a good job with what he has? That simple. And a ton easier to see from the inside than the outside.
I don't have faith in McDermott's evaluation of anything having to do with offense given his handling of the QB situation since he got here. I don't think the Bills can wait to see if Daboll may possibly be better if we gave him more talent. As far as Belichick and Saban, they're defensive minded coaches who don't have an impressive coaching tree so I don't put much stock into their opinion of Daboll.

You keep saying, and so do others, that Daboll has a putrid record as an OC. And it just isn't that simple.
What people think of you as an OC is dependent on a lot of things, including how good (or in Daboll's case, astoundingly bad) your QBs and offensive rosters are.
Daboll's QBs have been Matt Cassel backed up by Brady Quinn in KC, Matt Moore backed up by Chad Henne in Miami. In Cleveland in his first of two years, 2009, his starter was Brady Quinn, backed up by our own Derek Anderson and the next year Delhomme was the original starter for Cleveland and he went 2-2, but the 35 year-old suffered ankle problems that hobbled him for the season and Daboll was left with Colt McCoy backed up by Seneca Wallace.
Remind me, has anyone had success with that pack of mugs since they got out from under Daboll? He's had crap rosters and people know that, and yet he's still widely respected by people like Saban and Belichick.
It simply isn't clear that he's been bad. He may well have gotten the best out the dross he coached.
I would argue he never elevated the play of any of the QB's he worked with. In his three stints (four years as offensive coordinator) he finished 29th, 31st, 22nd, and 32nd in total offense. There were Alabama journalists and fans that criticized with his hire of Daboll claiming he was a conservative choice as Saban didn't want to deal with an ego like Lane Kiffin. Alabama had a lackluster offense giving their talent level last year finishing 25th in yards per game in college football. This year they're 1st. He just seems like a lackluster hire with uninventive play calling who's offense is on pace of being one of the worst ever. If this team shows significant improvement as the season progresses then he should stay. If not, cya.

Good post and I wouldn't be surprised if that scenario played out. Beane and McDermott have the right approach to building a winning franchise (full on rebuild with establishing a winning culture), but I question their ability to make the right decisions on the offensive side of the ball during the rebuild. I'm not a fan of the Josh Allen pick, but am hoping I'm wrong. However, you knew he was a project so you should've had a more stable veteran to start the year than Nathan Peterman. You also hire an offensive coordinator with a putrid track record of success as an NFL offensive coordinator and expect him and a previous WR coach to develop Allen?
Here's what needs to happen this offseason if their offense continues to be this offensive:
-Fire Daboll. Bring in somebody with more previous success who has been successful in working with young quarterbacks.
-Use most of your arsenal of draft picks on offense. Obviously addressing o-line and WR. For god sakes find somebody who can stretch the field.
-Go hard after the few available free agents on the market on the offensive side of the ball and be willing to overpay.
-Bring back the Amish Rifle as a mentor and quality backup. Maybe even trade for him this season. I still can't believe Fitz is only 35. I feel like he backed up Brett Starr. If not, find a veteran better than freakin' Derek Anderson.

Where are all the darnold rosen and Mayfield fans?

I didn't want him either for all those reasons as I had him as my 4th choice (ahead of Jackson based off him being high on Kelper and Mayock's board). There's a rush to prove that you're right, but we need to give this guy some weapons and even an average line before writing him off as the next Kyle Boller. I'm hoping he develops into a Matt Stafford or Cam Newton like quarterback who aren't the most accurate passers. I won't count on it, but just trying to say "I told you so" is premature at this point.
