Draft Stetson Bennett as our backup.

Oh for god sake that would be worse than Jake Fromm. He will be out of football in 18 months -
Top 10 Greatest Coaches That Never Won a Super Bowl
Ethan in Cleveland replied to T master's topic in The Stadium Wall
What's your point OP? That McDermott will be on this list and he will be in good company? Most of those coaches were fired at some point for not winning. Some more than once like Schottenheimer with Cleveland, KC, and San Diego, and Reeves also three times with Denver, Atlanta, and NY Giants. Let's let Buffalo be the first team McD gets fired from, we bring in a winner, and he can build perrenial playoff contenders/losers for some other franchise. Yeah well not telling Kelly to stop throwing and just give the ball to Thurman is the dumbest thing Marv ever did and cost us a championship. Nice guy but I never thought he belonged in the HOF. -
Eagles 49ers rematch for the Thursday season opener. Book it. Its a no-brainer great start to the season.

Should the Bills switch to a 3-4 defense?
Ethan in Cleveland replied to Tipster19's topic in The Stadium Wall
We play a 4 down lineman alignment with nickel almost exclusively. Even 3-4 teams go with 4 DL when they play nickel. And when reams only rush 3 and drop 8 in very long yard to gain situations they aren't using a NT in that 3 DL pass rush. So no. A true NT is about as useless as a FB in modern NFL. Almost no college team plays with a NT so it would take quite a bit of time to develop. Oliver is not big enough to play a 3-4 DE but he could rush from the outside most likely. Lawson could maybe play a 3-4 DE. But Rousseau is strictly a 4-3 DE so you would be sacrificing one of the better young players on defense. So the answer is no. Bad idea. Its perfectly fine to rush 3 and drop 8 a couple times a game but the base defense should never be a 3-4. -
How many teams can Singletary start on

My guess is he gets a 1 yr prove it deal somewhere. He has the YPC to want to get paid, but his tape says he is replaceable by just about any street free agent. -
Make your choice: Bills next future
Ethan in Cleveland replied to Italian Bills's topic in The Stadium Wall
Ok. Not saying you are wrong. Its a reasonable take. But then how do you feel about the Packers and Cowboys? This board loves to rip on these teams that are SB favorites only to fall short. When does Allen become Dak Prescott on this board? We are now two years removed from even a Championship game appearance. Is that really sustained success? I guess if you think Division Championships are success. And look I get it only one team wins the whole thing. A few plays go differently last season and the Bengals win the SB and you are correct the Rams look terrible. But that didn't happen. -
McDermott is displaying servant leadership in that instance. It is leadership 101 and fits with his Toyota management system. A servant leader always praises those below them and deflects criticism from them when it does not. McDermott is a fine person and he has good leadership qualities. He's just not a good enough coach to be beat the best. Both statements can be true without any malice.

9 paragraphs and I agree with most of it Could have summed it up with McDermott is not good enough. Its his defense, it's his drafting of defensive players, and it is his fault we aren't good enough. We are wasting the best QB in franchise history on a coach and scheme that fails/chokes in the biggest moments.

Dan Orlovsky All-Time QB list
Ethan in Cleveland replied to Solomon Grundy's topic in The Stadium Wall
What a moron. Montana is still in the argument for best ever. If he played in this era he would be devastating. Elway is far too high on the list. Mahommes is a great QB but he simply doesn't have the career numbers to be included in this group yet. Its too much speculation what his future will look like. What happens to him if Reid retires? Mahommes may one day be #2 but not yet. I'm fine with Marino over Favre Manning, and Breese as well. What he did in his era was incredible. My top 10 guy that never gets enough love is Steve Young. He doesn't have the career totals because of how long he sat, but he was a great QB. Far better than guys like Bradshaw Aikman, and just as good as Elway and Favre. Lastly my dark horse guy is Staubach. He doesn't get the recognition he deserves. I would put him ahead of Bradshaw, Dawson, Griese, Tarkenton or any other guy from his era. -

A SuperBowl win is all that matters now. You really think LA Rams fans regret going all in? -
Seven rings to zero. Thats all that matters.

2023 Running Back Depth Chart: You Choose
Ethan in Cleveland replied to Rigotz's topic in The Stadium Wall
Put the money into the O-line. Cook, Hines, and a couple cheap free agents are fine. -
There was similar angst in the late '80s
Ethan in Cleveland replied to Success's topic in The Stadium Wall
The only similarity to those Super Bowl teams and the current team, is the fact in both cases the bills have been outcoached. Levy was no match for Parcells, Belichick, Gibbs, and Johnson. Same story now. McDermott is outclassed by Reid and perhaps now by Taylor. -
I think it is a great idea but I would modify it. Have a cap that is 52+1. You can designate any player as the +1 that is exempt from the salary cap calculation. You coudl even put a tax on that +1 if you wanted to and spread that money around the league. There should not be this degree of a penalty for drafting and developing a franchise QB.
