    I would not sacrifice any draft capital for an inconsistent mediocre bridge QB.

    How do we know he is mediocre. He thrived in Philly and was then ruined by Jeff Fisher. He went to KC as a backup for a year, and learning from Andy Reed has seemed to resurrect his career. It took him a little bit to get going when Carson went down, but that is too be expected when you aren't really getting reps in practice. If Carson Wentz wasn't some MVP candidate player who was super young and showed a lot of promise, he probably wouldn't be getting his job back if Foles wins tomorrow.

    And, why is that? If Nick Foles hadn't gone to St. Louis, which was QB purgatory with Jeff Fisher, he could have made something of himself. Now he has a chance to go out and beat Brady in the Super Bowl and then he would be available. You wouldn't want a QB who has beaten Brady in a Super Bowl to build around? 

  3. Let's go get us the Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles (or at least that is my prediction.) 

     

    He was really good in Philly under Kelly, and if Fisher hadn't ruined the kid, he probably would have been a Super Star. I would def take a chance on him. Trade Philly like a second round or third round pick after the Super Bowl and see how the kid competes in training camp.

    All the PI calls were 100% legit yesterday.

     

     

    No way, that call at the end of the half was terrible. The Jags defender played great defense and forced Cooks to the boundary. The defender has every right to his position. The red should no the difference between getting in a receivers way when he tries to come back for the ball, which this wasn’t  the case as the ball went over their heads and good defense that just forces the receiver to a point on the field where he doesn’t have room to maneuver. That was a gift.

    Fantastic news

    Tyrod you're next

    I wouldn't be so sure on that. Maybe McDermott can go find an offensive coordinator that can Taylor an offense (see what I did there :)) around Taylor and still draft a QB. Use Taylor as a bridge player on the cheap. Although, I guess I don't know the long-term cap implications if we do bring him back because we currently stand to only take a $1 million hit next year if we release him before the third day of the new league year in March. 

     

    I for one am not for getting rid of someone when you don't have someone better to replace him with. Never get worse at a position, always just get better.

    It takes a team and full staff of scouts an entire year to put together a draft board, and scouting reports, and player profiles, and do interviews, etc., etc. McDermott did NOT have time to do his own recon while working as DC for the Panthers. That is not what coaches do, especially assistants.

     

    While I agree that McD had a say in which specific players were drafted, just like all previous Bills HCs, he was definitely working off of Whaley's intelligence, information, and advisement. Each had equal hand in making that draft happen. It's also exactly why no matter who fell to us, McD was not going to draft a QB. He wanted his own GMs recon for a position that important. But White, Dawkins, and Milano were all standard Whaley guys.

     

    Yes, he gave Dareus a huge contract, that at the time we ALL wanted to happen. Had he let our #3 overall choice, the highest draft pick the Bills had in over a decade, walk for nothing after his rookie contract was up, that would have been even worse. Just like the HCs get some credit/blame for the draft, some if not most of the details of that contract are on Overdorff who personally oversaw contracts and the cap. I won't ever say Whaley is completely innocent there, but he had to get Dareus signed.

     

    Injuries are always hindsight, wrt Glenn, he still got the contract for our LT done, unlike most of the GMs before him. And I blame Castillo, who I say should be fired, for the way he has handled Groy and Miller while starting Ducasse.

     

    The talent is there.

     

     

    It wasn't so much Dareus's huge contract, but the fact that there was no out or money we could get back when he was being a !@#$ up, that was the problem.

    Couldnt be more wrong. With the constant coaching turnover, Whaley basically put together MULTIPLE playoff caliber teams while in Buffalo.

     

    Re-signed Eric Wood

    Signed Incognito

    Drafted Miller (who I believe is being mis/under-used)

    Signed Clay (Clay has underperformed for the contract Whaley gave him, and is seen as a bad deal)

    Drafted O'Leary

    Traded for McCoy

    Re-signed Kyle (multiple times I believe)

    Traded for Hughes

    Drafted Washington

    Signed Alexander

    That's basically the foundation of this team.

     

    Not to mention, his guys Searcy, Cockrell, Bradham, Watkins, Woods, Dareus, Seymour, Ragland, and Darby are ALL in the playoffs with other teams.

     

     

     

     

     

    While he may have technically been with the team through the draft, I wouldn't give him any credit for anything that was done after Sean McDermott was hired. 

     

    He also gave Dareus that huge contract, that would have crippled us down the road. 

     

    The Glenn signing doesn't look at hat good if he can't get back on the field, and Groy has been a backup all year. He couldn't beat out DuCasse, who most on here would agree is terrible.

    Man, if Taylor had even somewhat decent deep ball accuracy this game would be completely different. He cannot hit anyone in stride who has a break on the defender.

     

    Pretty good pass to Jones, however the CB got away with holding his arm down.

    He has been awful throwing downfield today. It sucks because that is supposed to be his strength.
