He was awful. He looked so slow. I'd love to see an upgrade in the return game. We simply got no explosive plays back there this year.

Gotta try to keep Gaines. I'm very curious what his market is going to look like. But if he wants to play and be good he should stick with McDermott.

Perhaps Morton goes to Seattle to replace Bevell? He was OC for Pete Carroll at USC. Morton also worked for Norv Turner and Sean Payton.

A man can dream right?

Man I'd love to have Robert Quinn. Would fix a lot of issues. There is a minimal dead cap if they cut him now. He's probably fairly replaceable in Wade's scheme and would be a perfect fit here.

This. If it weren't for Tyrod we probably never get there, but we probably win that game with Trevor Siemian under center.

I will watch the NFC games. So sick of the Pats and Steelers.

I really do want to like him, but I just don't see it. As kdiggz said above he really reminds of Bryce Petty, though Petty has a better arm and is a better athlete. He's big, but everything else seems so blah. Most of the issues the boom or busts guys like Allen and Jackson have, Rudolph also has. Shoddy footwork, accuracy etc etc etc. But he has those same flaws without the upside or the huge arm or athleticism. Like I said I really do want to like him so hopefully he changes my mind over the next few months and I come around. To me he just isn't a franchise QB and his potential isn't much higher than Nathan Peterman's.

Tyrod - 5th Cordy - 2nd Hughes - 3rd Shaq - 4th I think these are their peak values. Tyrod is probably not tradeable, Cordy is coming of an injury. Hughes did nothing this year and Shaq has done nothing in his career. Glenn is our best trade asset in my opinion. Duane Brown was traded with a 5th for a 2nd and a future 3rd. Brown is older than Cordy but also better probably.

Chudzinski?

Ok thanks!

Probably getting Gus Bradley back so letting Richard go with some dignity.

OC Rob Chudzinski QBs Ken Dorsey (FYI when Dorsey was at Miami setting a million records his OC was Rob Chudzinski and was a scout for Carolina during McDermott and Chudz crossover there) QB Josh Rosen or Sam Darnold...I think we find a way to trade up for one of the two.

Yep I'm with you guys. i think we were great in the redzone because of the scheme. Designing a red zone offense around Tyrod makes sense. Having him throw fades does not. I know I'm talking in circles, I guess the bottom line is that Dennison sucks and Tyrod can be good with a really strong run game and an offense that plays to his strengths. But he cannot be sucessful in the red zone in a more conventional WCO. I still want them both gone.

Dennison's play calling was putrid in the red zone pretty much all year. Tyrod also sucks in the red zone. You need to be able to throw balls in tight windows that get much tighter down inside the 20. You also need to be able to throw guys open with anticipation. He's terrible at both of those things. As much as Peterman sucked, he actually completed a great fade on the goaline in the snow. Tyrod can't make that throw. Did his play calling suck because he was limited by his quarterback? I hope we never find out because they both need to get kicked to the curb.

I think they definitely need to wait and see what happens in Indy in terms of who gets hired as a HC. If they go with a defensive guy, they may want to keep Chudzinski. If they go with an offensive guy, he may be let loose. If Chudzinski is let go I think he's probably the guy, with Bevell and McCoy as possibilities as well.

Hatley didn't stand out to me. He is tall and big, but isn't really a 1 technique tackle. Looked like he played rather high to me, but he did rotate a bit. I think he's more of a 3-4 defensive end with his build, but hes not a bad Swiss army knife guy for depth. He could play the 1, 3, or heavy defensive end in the under alignment.

I love it. The problem is that Tyrod doesn't throw slants.

I don't think there is any way this regime considers him. Good player though.

Not sure he really blitzed more. I think great coverage by linebackers helped those guys get to the quarterback. I also think dominate tackles helped to bring pressure up the middle. I'd probably go after Kony Ealy and draft a guy like Sam Hubbard.

I mentioned this in another thread but my target is Donte Moncrief (hopefully coming with Rob Chudzinski). He is fast, big, and a play maker. I believe we have an elite guy in KB and Moncrief is probably the perfect #2. He had a down year, so he should be cheap, but I think he has tremendous potential. He's also an outside reciever so you can play Zay Jones in the slot.

I will take a second to connect some dots. Bevell was originally hired by Mike Sherman who is a Mike Holmgren guy and coached with Andy Reid in Green Bay. When Mike Sherman got hired by Green Bay he brought Bevell on staff. During this time Brad Childress was Andy Reid's offensive coordinator in Philly. When the Vikings hired Childress, he hired Bevell. When Childress was let go and Leslie Frazier was made head coach, Frazier let Bevell go and he went to Seattle. So there are some connections there as McDermott and Bevell are part of the same coaching tree . It was 2015 before we hired Rex Ryan.

Frazier basically fired him when he went from interim head coach to head coach. But who knows? Frazier replaced him with Bill Musgrave and Bevell wound up in Seattle. But Frazier doesn't make the decisions, and one would assume he regrets that decision. I'd be all for a Bevell hire.

I think we are in a tough spot. We currently run a WCO, so guys like Keenum, Bridgewater and Falk and Rudolph in the draft should, in theory, be great fits for our offense. WCO doesn't require a super strong arm, it requires accuracy, timing, and anticipation. With that said, we are still Buffalo and asking a guy like Keenum to throw the ball around in windy conditions might be asking too much. That is why we haven't been able to find the "guy" for so long. You need a big guy, with big hands, with timing and anticipation, and accuracy to be successful in Buffalo. Those guys don't grow on trees. Keenum sounds great on paper, yet I do not think he is a great fit for Buffalo. That is kind of why I feel its Alex Smith...while he doesnt have the strongest arm he has been playing in similar conditions for years and his arm is strong enough. He has great size, accuracy, and is very durable. Smith is the perfect bridge. Kirk Cousins makes sense, but he wouldn't be a bridge, he'd be "the" guy. Being 30 years old, I'm not sure he solves the long term issue at QB. It would be like acquiring the 30 year old Drew Bledsoe again. In the draft I feel like you are limited to Rosen or Darnold. Allen if you feel you can get him to be more accurate. In my opinion, most of the other guys are too small, or simply do not have the physical ability.

Sign Chudzinski and bring Donte Moncreif with him. Perfect #2 to KB then you can stick Zay in the slot where he belongs.
