I totally agree with this post, especially the last part of it. Can we all flashback to this exact day last year (in football terms, the Thur before the start of the NFL season), didnt TD sign Lawyer Milloy and we destroyed the now defending SB Champs? Then we beat the Jags, and TD was receiveing praise? Where exactly did that get us? NOWHERE...
Now for 2004: Why even think one way or the other right now? How do we REALLY know? Bills have a rookie HC, new coaching staff, new playbook, it will probably take some time to jell, if it does jell.
There is pressure on TD this year, but maybe not so much for the playoffs. If the Bills improve to 9-7, thats stilla 3 game improvement, thats a solid improvement in the NFL. We need to see progress, we need to see the pass rush improve, we need to see McGahee improve, the OL improves as the year goes on under McNally, and we need to see players TD drafted improve, thats the real key to judging TD. If they play like last year, then Im all for the change.
