I think one of the most important things a coach can do is motivate his players. Of the various ways to do this, religious faith can be a pretty powerful motivator. If McDermott is super religious and he is dealing with a religious player on the team its going to be very easy for him to motivate that player. Usually the more motivated and inspired team is the one that wins. On the flip side a team that cant be motivated (see the dolphins a few years ago) is just going to quit and kill the coaches career. My interest is in the Bills winning games. If there was a coach who was really good at motivating players who love peanut butter, i wouldnt be shocked if that coach was more likely to gather a decent amount of players who loved peanut butter.

Part of what made Fred so valuable was that he was really good at everything despite not being truly elite. Fred Jackson made a legendary block on JJ Watt who was having one of the most dominating seasons ever. He his him so hard his leg became a mosaic of all the shades of purple. Was his talent the same as Barry Sanders? No. But Barry Sanders would have been destroyed by JJ Watt. He would have cried and retired even earlier. Yet Fred could do it. Fred could do everything. To say he doesn't belong on the WOF is just disrespectful of the impact he did have.

He definitely deserves the WOF. Hell of a player for us who came out of obscurity.

You don't want your official team cheerleaders outclassed in attractiveness by random girls in the stands.

I mean if they were the Tampa Bay cheerleaders I might miss them...

Mayfield might not get past 5 and then the Dolphins can get him at 11. I would be fine with trading up to 5 for Mayfield. If they are trading up to 2 their target most likely is Josh Rosen.

Our punter is fine imo not worth wasting money on King. The TE though...

Imo with the wonderlich anything above 10 is fine. Some people don't test well. But below 10 ehh it may be a minor concern.

I like it bro

There is probably some truth to that, but if you believe that then you have to also believe the sword cuts both ways. Why don't we have more white cornerbacks? More white safeties, running backs, and wide receivers? It's because they aren't viewed as "athletic" or "fast" enough. Maybe being considered "athletic" in a very physical game is more desirable than being considered "smart" or "high motor". I think the stereotypes are bs and everyone should be graded on merit. But if you can't watch a video of Lamar Jackson and understand why he is compared to Tyrod Taylor then you are more interested in your own narrative than objective truth. Much is said about about inequality but compare the percentage of black cornerbacks, defensive lineman, safeties, running backs, and wide receivers. Then compare the percentage of African Americans to Whites in the U.S. population. Do all that and then criticize the Bills for actually STARTING a black qb and basically imply they are racist for ever getting rid of him! Then as a bonus try to pretend like the Bills fanbase and team wouldn't be salivating over Cam Newton and Russell Wilson. Go on I'll wait. I know this next part is going to make some people upset but: Ironically the thing that probably irritates the people who are mad at the Bills for moving on from Taylor is that he didn't kneel for the anthem. If he did then there would be a narrative to latch on to. They could have justified saying the team was racist and lied to themselves that it was something other than performance. Instead Tyrod was a true professional, he handled everything with honor and class.

Buffalo was the 2nd team ever to start a black quarterback in 1969. The New York Giants started their first qb in 2017 which is very interesting don't you think? They may have "ousted" him as you describe but, the Bills were the first team to take a risk and make Tyrod a starting quarterback. Regardless of your opinion or mine on how "good" Tyrod is the Bills don't feel he is. But do you think the Bills would feel differently in Cam Newton or Russell Wilson fell into their lap? They would immediately start for them for several years wouldn't they? As for Lamar Jackson I thought that people were being lazy about comparing him to Tyrod too UNTIL I watched a single highlight reel of Lamar Jackson and now I totally agree with the comparison. It is just very evident in film. I think Tyrod and Lamar Jackson themselves would see a similarity in playstyles. Finally you can't really judge a fanbase in a vacuum just as you wouldn't say English soccer hooligans speak for every soccer fan. We have Bills fans who have extremely left wing and extremely right wing views. We probably have a communist who roots for the Bills, a fascist who roots for the Bills, and a satanist who roots for the Bills. I knew a guy when I lived in the area whose dad was just this racist scumbag to pretty much anyone he met. He hated pretty much everyone. But ironically he was also the biggest Bills fan to the point where if you wore the uniform you could do absolutely nothing wrong. He even would get in your face about how OJ was innocent. He wouldn't shut up about how awesome Thurman Thomas was and how like the best moment of his life was when he saw him at Tops grocery. He even defended EJ Manuel for years and said the Bill's screwed him over and everyone except him knew EJ Manuel was terrible. I write that to write this: What unites us as individuals is our love for our team. So I don't feel the need to defend my fanbase because we are a brotherhood that often shows a very surprising amount of humanity and human decency.

Lol the Browns front office brags about analytics and sabremetrics, and the power of their scientific method. The Browns are about to go 0-16.
