He had one top 5 defense ever and he had one of the greatest linebackers in the history of the game on his team. He flamed out in philly before getting canned. As for mediocre cooridnators not getting head coaching gigs, all I have to say to that is

Didn't skirt the question - provided you with an explicit response. do with it what you will. I don't know if they're better than the bills or not for sure, but I'm leaning towards yes. The PFF report I shared is not "one" report. It's a measurement of every play of every snap. If you read the grading criteria you would have known that. The yearly score is just a composite score of all snaps. each game has its own separate grades you can view. As for PFF being infallible, their grading system is open for all to see. Yes, there are human beings at the helm measuring grades so by definition it is fallible like any assessment involving humans. However, it's a scientifically sound and thorough process that checks just about all the boxes you could hope to check in making a subjective analysis as objective in aggregate as possible As for your Russel Wilson take, that's an op-ed, not a statistical analysis. I never referenced their op-ed material as a basis for my opinion. It's an irrelevant inclusion int his discussion. If you want to prove a point that their gradings have a high probability of being incorrect, try doing that instead. Happy to keep doing this with you. Again, this is covered in the grading methodology if you cared to have read it. Kelce is making baseless assumptions without supporting evidence. Also, while football has a lot going on, it's a game filled with knowns. There are wrinkles in how each play is designed, but it's not exactly common for a player to have a responsibility on a play that's never happened before.

One: ask and you shall receive - https://www.pff.com/nfl/players/connor-mcgovern/41714 Two - The Bills have proven under Beane to be mediocre talent evaluators. There is one all-pro on our team and he was drafted by Beane's predecessor. Beane's only significant draft hit int he upper rounds was Allen with a possible on Edmunds if you like him as a player. In FA we've got a lot more bad than good. Happy to debate that for the nth time if that's something you disagree with it. As for the content of the model, here you go: https://www.pff.com/grades As for if the Bills watch game tape or not, it's hard to say. You'd like to believe they do, but going by the fact that we almost never change our gameplan, and seem shocked when other teams mix it up on us, It's far from a given.

So what? money is cheaper tomorrow than it is today.

But you're a stranger with your own questionable internet content. Why should I trust your opinion watching a handful of plays on your TV over a statistical model built using game tape and extensive knowledge of the game?

Yup. Every snap he has ever played has been watched and evaluated by experts much more highly skilled and trained than any of us. Watching him play does nothing to provide a useful evaluation of his abilities, unless you're claiming that you're a better talent evaluator. I actually watched a good handful of cowboys games last year, but never even knew the guy existed until an hour ago. I still really dislike the move and probably have a more valid reason for it than watching him play.

Really? It's nice to know you value my offensive Guard assessment skills that highly.

The Jets draft early enough to get a top QB prospect in the draft.

if I watched 909, would it be more relevant than if I watched 0? How he performed is known. top 15 is "top-end"? I'd call that average.

Yup, and a mediocre one. He's not going to be able to effectively be a DC and an HC, when he hasn't even been a competent gameday HC. very few coaches can pull that feat off.

There is a ton of talent in this draft. Trenton Simpson and Jack Campbell could both be available to us and would likely be instant upgrades depending on if they adjust scheme a little. They didn't replace him with anyone though. I fully expect the defense to regress unless they get more talent. Leslie sucks, but he's better than having literally no-one in the job. Same with Edmunds. If they decide to replace him with some scrub, it isn't a defense of his awesomeness.

If you watched him play and didn't come away with the knowledge that he's an average pass blocker and an awful run blocker, you didn't learn anything useful by watching him.

That's a lot of cheddar for a KMart brand guard.

Von miller made as much money per tackle as most people here will make in a lifetime.

Good for him. Coffee is for closers.

Good ones do cost a lot, and stud RBs can be massive difference makers immediately, which is rare with a lot of positions.

I'd be shocked if any team gave up more than a 4th for him. I'd find it extremely unpalatable to give him a 3x raise from last year's salary based on his production.

Of course his stat line is going to drop if he's being asked to do other things. it doesn't mean he was less effective at his new role. We also have no obligation to use him at his most effective role if he would still be the best Tampa 2 MLB in the class. He's still a complete upgrade over Tremaine Edmunds in every respect as a prospect even if he isn't playing a glorified EDGE. Did you see his combine numbers?

That's not really true. Simpson is everything Edmunds was supposed to be + more. Simpson is the perfect fit for Tampa 2. Campbell requires a scheme change because he isn't athletic enough to do what Edmunds did.

Yep - Trenton Simpson or Jack Campbell

A conversation about the SB Winner releasing a player seems pretty related to them being a SB winner to me. 🤷‍♂️

I wouldn't be against that. I think he has the right makeup for it too.

If you're banking on a 2nd year 6th round pick to make a position switch an immediately start at a high level, that's a pretty bold assertion. It would also create a hole in our CB group that would have to be replaced. Personally, I'd rather bring in a starter who is native to the position either via draft or FA while Benford learns the position, if that's indeed the plan.

He's one of the least talented players I've ever seen in the NFL. He has no business even being on a practice squad. I'd sooner sign Paxton Lynch.

You also had Neal, Kumerow, Hines, and Gilliam whose primary contributions were ST. It's a significant makeup of the roster.
