Its not pointless....it McDermott’s Approval rating after year two. Happens all the time on sports or politics Funny that neither of you mention his biggest accomplishment. How is that 2 decade long Buffalo Bills playoff drought that tarnished the brand doing?

Maybe but neither of those guys were very high risk and they didn’t exactly break bank to bring them to Buffalo. So far Beane has more hits than misses and more than Whaley or Nix. Vontae was a player they hopes could give them good play for a year (or two at best) while they developed younger players at the position. He was not great but has he stayed, I think he could have done that for a year. He will forever be known as “the guy who quit at halftime” than he will be remembered for his accolades. He basically s*** on his NFL career. In terms of Benjamin, I think the second kneee injury really did him in. In Carolina he was off to another decent season for a #2 WR (60+ catches for close to 900-1,000 yards). After the second knee injury that he played through he just wasn’t the same. Then the drops started which I can explain. You forget though - Beane was trying to end the 17 year playoff drought! And he did. How quick Bills fans forget. There’s no guarantee the same thing happens if they don’t trade. Either wat he trade a 3rd round pick. He no doubt didn’t get the better if the deal, but you can hardly blame him.

Great hindsight!

Also a few disappointing ones in Cleveland too

Yeah but this is all hindsight....you can essentially play fantasy GM with anyone. That’s like saying “Buddy Nix should have drafted Russell Wilson” or “John Butler should have drafted Tom Brady instead of Eric Flowers in 2000.” At the time, most weren’t screaming to break the bank to resign Gilmore, or to draft Mahomes, also most didn’t care about keeping Cordy who was often injured. Wrong to hold this against him, when it wasn’t entirely the obvious thing to do. 92% Is clearly decisive.

Would Frank Reich bring Andrew Luck to Buffalo if he was hired?

Yeah you ever see a presidential approval rating? There’s two options. Not doing a 3rd

Looking pretty good for Sean so far

I agree....the Nix hire really pissed me off. It was clear the Bills needed a real GM. Rather than conducting a legit search, the just gave the job to Buddy who was like a 70 year consultant. They literally scanned a list of names - terrible

Well, I don’t think he was very good and would agree that for some reason Doug has his defenders among the fan base

Well it’s 2 seasons down and I’m curious to know your thoughts on Sean McDermott as Bills HC. I remember that McDermott’s approval rating was sky high after making their first playoff appearance in 17 years. But after a 6-10 year do you still trust the process? There has been some very negative comments about McDermott by members in this forums. So let’s see Sean’s Approval rating as of now.

Interesting story, but this isn’t an example of a player’s thoughts on Buffalo. It’s thoughts from a parent of an NFL player. Hardly a correlation, in my opinion. I think actual players and there agents are a little better educated on Buffalo. With that being said, I think small markets do have their disadvantages. And unfortunately, with the Bills some the bad reputation is well-deserved. Thanks to Ralph Wilson and the futility in the 1990’s. It’s funny how Buffalo never had a problem landing free agents when they had Kelly, Thurman, Bruce, Andre and several Super Bowl appearances. No one ever complained about small markets, or facilities, or stadiums.

Reporter: Doug, who chose the toppings for that pizza? Doug: I think of it like this, it was a Buffalo Bills pick

Absolutely. Right out of the Whaley supporter playbook So Whaley had no idea how to build a team? Right I agree. He’s where he belongs....in the XFL

“Some Bills fans love to rewrite history” BillyWhiteShows Context is king my friend.

Big Bills fan. Love to talk football

Ok done I know it was sort of a joke that he’s on the list

Yup same here. Did you dad working on the technical side of the printing press (before everyone was done digitally?). He left super early and always thought his job was so cool Does he have an AFC Championship ring?

Great question Too hard to find it. Share it right here so it will actually get read

I think you are technically right. Maybe 2018-2019 MVP

Its 2019, the term is big-boned” not f**!

Yeah I thought of that too. It’s extremely unlikely but even that would be kind of cool. I can remember how defeated Rex was around Week 15 and 16 of the NFL season. He just looked completely disheveled. He was wise to stop the bleeding and ask to be fired. Reminded me of a capo in a mob movie who knows he’s gonna get whacked. “Just do it already, Don Terry!” $5 million for doing nothing is actually a better deal! I remember reading article that said while they are paying Rex, the Bills are entitled to up to $5 of money Rex makes working. So Pegulas pay Rex $5M, and ESPN pays the Pegulas $5M. Essentially Rex talks on the air for free!!!!!

Only because he already took the weak “you start multiple threads” card, first

...and a big fan of hindsight apparently

Coach is big on rewriting history
