Kelly the Dog

I say start him day one. Make him win it in practice but he should be able to. If he starts day one, McDermott, Daboll, Cully and AJ will all be working their ass off to teach him the game and what to expect. If he sits he just watched and the coaches spend 80-90% of their time on AJ

That was really cool. Made me like both of them a small amount more. Josh handled it well. He's a likable kid.

I expect BB to screw over Gilislee, know full well he is going to release him but not do it until the last minute or cuts to screw the player and the Bills, knowing they will likely want him. We still should sign him on eve of season. His agent should demand release now.

He was right. You kinda heard right. They divided the lottery up into two parts. The first part was which three teams were going to have a chance at the top pick. The Sabres, even finishing last, had a chance to draft fourth. So you heard the radio guy say they won the lottery because they were one of the three teams in the finals. Plus, it's generally regarded that there were three stud players in this draft and by getting into top three we would get one of them. The second half of the lottery was announced almost three hours later. That was the order of the top three. And we won that too. So you kind of heard right. The NHL confused the situation not the intern.

Agreed. And if somehow he doesn't and becomes a criminal he can be represented by Hiermonyous Bosch.

I don't want Allen just handed the job but I do want him in a competition to start and he gets the benefit of the doubt for two serious reasons. If McCarron starts the HC and OC and QBC spend 80% of their time with the starter during the week. I'd much, much prefer for that time to go to Allen. Second, McCarron scares no one. If he is the starter, the D lines up 8-9 in the box and takes away Shady. And we can talk run or throw. If Allen is in there they have to respect his arm and have to back off. I think and hope Allen starts the season as QB1.

No matter what you think about McDermott, he knows how to coach DBs. It's almost inarguable. Look what he did with all four starters last year. And don't think for a second that because he was the HC he didn't spend a lot of time with the DBs.

It's like Terrible Herbst.

All of their allegedly good moves are getting rid of players and not acquiring them. They have yet to acquire a good player.

McCarron is awful and his contract is evidence what the team and league thinks of him. It's embarrassingly low.

To get a worse player in AJ McCarron. That's another move I forgot that is not inspiring, although he is cheap and hopefully doesn't play one play this season.

Good point. That was another one. I do like the Chris Ivory signing although not sure how much he has left in the tank. Always liked him. He shouldn't.

The offense regressed and then they got rid of a few more guys.

Be skeptical? Not show blind trust? Hope they get better? It's a message board about the Bills whose sole purpose is to encourage discussion about them?

The exact opposite. I'm looking for reasons to trust them. I like them. I think we are on the right track. But their best decisions have been getting rid of talent and gaining draft picks and losing contracts. That's good stuff. But their actual offensive decisions have been universally awful.

This is a good reason to start Allen day one.

Explain to me why we should believe that Beane and McDermott know a lot about offense? They got rid of Watkins. They traded for Matthews. They signed Kaelin Clay and then cut him and then signed him again. They signed Tolbert and then played him too much. They got rid of Corey Glenn. They signed DuCasse and then played him too much. They hired a lousy OC and then fired him after one year. They STARTED NATHAN FREAKIN PETERMAN who immediately had the worst half of football in history and then benched him after that half. They didn't re-sign Woods or Goodwin who both immediately played well. About the the only thing they did on offense that was decent was trade for an injury prone Kelvin Benjamin who immediately got injured. Just askin' for a friend.

Actually arm strength is about the deep out. Fans and pundits often mistake it to mean bombs.

Thats not clear at all. There are a ton of examples of guys starting right away that was the best thing for them.

Mahomes was behind a 10+ year vet who lead the league in passing.

Allen will start at WR for one trick play, immediately go to QB on play two for the rest of the season and then a few idiots will come on here and say he wasn't the starter.

Moore can't play in NFL because he has a rag arm.

I think and want Allen to start game one. If AJ starts teams will play nine in the box and kill our run game. I think we need the threat of Allens big arm desperately. Have him throw 20 times a game til he's ready. McCarron is awful.

Interesting that Beane and McDermott called a bunch of Bills players and asked them if they had any problem with drafting Allen because of the tweets. Obviously the players had no real objections. I like that they did that although I didn't think the tweets were a deal breaker myself.

They didn't play Groy over horrendous play by DuCasse and Miller.
