    Exactly. Vontae knew he was a mercenary and was hardly here. Obviously, he did not buy into the culture. It's unbelievable that the media continues to take a dump on the Bills for him quitting. Yeah the Bills looked awful through the first six quarters of the year, but what Vontae did was inexcusable. 

     

    Eric is right. National media is ignorant and lazy of the actual situation in Buffalo. 

     

    It can only be fixed with winning, something this franchise has been unable to do consistently.  I think fans need to stop whining about the national media's take on things.

    His accuracy might not improve dramatically......

     

    But we have seen in just a small bit of time that his footwork can improve dramatically....which affects mechanics....he looks much better then he did at Wyoming.

     

    The quality of his pass catcher's can also improve....thus improving the completion percentage.

     

    Yeah, I get the difference between completion percentage & accuracy.

     

    Ball placement is the issue.  That is talent driven.  I don't see that dramatically improving.

     

    Great QB's have very good to great ball placement.  Good ball placement requires consistent accuracy, something Allen has lacked all of his career as a QB so far.  I don't understand why people think this will get better, magically.  It won't.

    Allen's accuracy will improve over time, he made a lot of gimmes look like Houdini-catches

     

     

     

    Why do you assume this?  I hear people say this, and it doesn't make any sense.  If there is one thing that is proven about developing QB's is they typically don't become more accurate.  This take I keep hearing is more faith/hope based than factual.

  4. I'm not upset at the actual record, as I had them starting 0-4.  What I am concerned about is the decision making PROCESS so far. McDermott being hired before Beane started the ball rolling in the wrong direction from the get go.  I think McClappity will prove out to be a failure.  I'd be interested to see what would happen if Beane was kept on board and allowed to hire a coach.  IMO a lot of Beane's bad decisions in free agency and draft trade up's have a McDermott character before talent stink to them.

    His tackling is soft which is pretty concerning for any lb much less a first found mlb. Right now he is thinking too much though. Hopefully the more time he gets, his instincts will start taking over.

     

    I don't like what I'm hearing.  Overthinking, timid, soft tackling... Yuck!  And they traded up for him too.  Their draft trade ups have been **** so far, starting with Zay Jones.

    If signing Vontae Davis is a lol to you ( character issues I take it ), then doesn't that go against the notion that he's "too invested in character" argument? 

     

    I don't recall Davis having a reputation as a bad character player, quite the opposite from my memory.  The fact that he quit on McDermott I think says a lot more about McDermott and his process than it does about Davis.

     

    Davis saw the tire fire/train wreck from the inside.  Seems like he decided he didn't want his career to end like that...

     

    OR

     

    McDermott totally mis-evaluated Davis' character.  Not sure which scenario is worse.  Forgoing talented players for high character and then whiffing on the high character part.

    Like it or not but much of a coaches job is to babysit talented players that have been treated like royalty their entire football careers. Marrone does that. McD doesn't.

     

    I agree.  I do not think what McDermott is doing is the right approach.  This is why the faith based part of it annoys me to no end.  He only wants a certain type of person (like religions) so they will follow the pied piper (like religions) without too many questions (like religions).  You win in this league with talent, not religion.

    Frankly, the coaches should just sit him for 2 weeks and let it heal.

    Remember when Fitz tried to play through broken ribs?  He didn't exactly help the team for the next 2-3 games.

     

    Even if he sits for 2 weeks, that injury will be lingering for months...

     

    Should have traded him in the offseason (before the Delicia crap), now it's too late, damaged both on and off the field.
