Exactly the same, because he had nothing to do with football. He ran a sports entertainment and marketing organization. Christ, I can't believe people still believe this nonsense.

Buffalo sports teams haven't been able to score points in a decade. Last I checked, that's what wins football games. I would much rather lose a game 38-45 than 0-7. At least you can get lucky when you get hot.

people give coaches in all athletics way too much credit. They think that because there's 1 of 32 in the NFL that they must be at minimum smart and understand the game. In reality coaching is so hard to get into because it's a good ol' boys network that demands 24 hours a day with an unlivable wage at the beginning. In order to get into high school or college ball you have to be available at 5am and 3pm even just to be an assistant. That means that you really need to be independently wealthy, a teacher, or have some other job with super flexible hours to try to break into coaching while feeding yourself. The result is an extremely small talent pool where mostly average coaches compete against each other. Most of the coaches I see in pro sports run one scheme, their scheme. They've been successful because it has yet to be exploited and maybe they achieved something that impresses hiring managers. There is a small, elite group of coaches in the history of the profession that are able to completely throw out the playbook and write new ones to match the talent they have. For the rest, they get called when the existing talent matches their scheme, or when a coach thinks they can force it. The coaches we have on our team fall into the "my way or the highway" standard fare coaches. They'll need to get lucky to win.

Can he start at QB?

Miami knew how to use him as an H Back. He doesn't have the size or speed to be a dominant traditional TE, but before his knees went to ***** he did have a lot of wiggle in the open field.

Until they met David Tyree.

The whole point this year was to be a 16 game pre-season for Allen to figure out if he could play. This team is old or inept at most key positions. If this staff can't get a grasp on Allen's future due to injuries or otherwise, I feel they have to take another one in the first until they find a kid that can play. Otherwise, you don't even need to bother playing next season.

Anderson surprises 23-17 Bills

are your other 1561 posts just like this?

To be fair to them, Clay ended up being the best TE out of the 3 premium guys that year. At the time, he was looked at as a consolation prize but Jordan Cameron and Julius Thomas flamed right out of the league after their big deals.

Stanford and DiMarcos value was supposed to be tied to their ST value. Given our ST is awful, it makes it even worse. Clay is probably the worst contract in Bills history. Not because he's been the worst player we ever signed to a big money deal, but because it's been impossible for us to get out from under it. The way it was structured made him more expensive to release than to keep. It doesn't help that for whatever reason, most of the TEs in the league are sucking real bad this year.

I looked at over a hundred going back to 83, not 32 NFL starters. You cherry picked a small sample size that you thought proved your point and literally none of them were within the parameters I laid out. At least KellyTheDog found Kelly. You also chose to use strong final seasons as a knock against their stats for some reason, instead of the growth being the reason they were successful.

bank account checks out.

This in't worth wasting time on. If you don't know that most != 3-5 out of hundreds you need to stop picking fights on the internet. I have to get back to analyzing insights, as part of my job.

Jesus christ. you seem unwilling or incapable to use the most basic forms of logic. Again you have submitted examples that prove my point, and you can't seem to wrap your head around the fact that if you find an exception to the rule, it doesn't mean that the rule is not valid. This is pretty basic stuff, man.

Thanks for proving my point. Done. thanks.

Yes, there is, as provided by hard data. NFL Accuracy is rarely improved significantly - Most QBs fail to improve college accuracy by 3 points. Most QBS with college completion percentage 56% or below are NFL busts. Many QBs below 59% college completion rates are busts. Most successful NFL QBs had college completion percentages above 59% and even more were very close to 60%. Read critically, lol.

I am 100% sure it is an INDICATOR of poor performance in the pros. an Indicator is not a fact, but when it's as overwhelming as it is, you can act like it's a fact, because you're far better off not betting against it. Then you proceeded to list a pile of quarterbacks with ~60% completion percentage, which is a strong number, as evidence my statement is false. You used evidence that supports my claim to try to discredit it without any additional commentary.

And I said, exceptions don't prove rules. I made a specific point to say it's NOT impossible to overcome, but it is an overwhelming indicator. Which it still is. If you want to bet your life savings on Red 17, it could come up, but let's see who's ahead after 100 tries when i bet on black.

56.2 < 57 last time I checked.

You would be right, except the players haven't show that to be true.

This post kind of proves my point. Allen was 56.2 lower than everyone there by a lot.

That may be the case, but check the numbers. You can search anyone you want here for their college stats: https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/players/jared-goff-1.html

100% positive. Backed up by the stats of every good- HOF QB over the last 40 years. Favre and Moon were the only two I found that defied the trend. I think there's one more but I forget. It's absolutely lopsided enough to be a major red flag during drafting.

That's fine. It's not impossible. 2 QBs have done it with Allen-like issues (Favre and Moon). I'm not mortgaging the house for that bet. For the record, I hope he turns it around, because the Bills obviously felt differently than I did when they burned the ships.
