Words cannot explain that clip. Unless he was messing with that reporter, there is something seriously wrong with him.

I bet Coughlins presence eliminated most of the guys they interviewed (can't see how it's not awkward reporting to a guy who clearly wanted the head coaching job and has no front office experience)and that's how Doug the quitter got the job.

Darnold certainly looked good as a freshman, but I remember when Barkley was supposed to be a can't miss prospect after his freshman year too. Even if he does turn out to be the real thing next year, he could pull a Peyton manning on the jets and go back to school if he doesn't want to play for Buffalo.

Can't see a team committing more than a year or 2 to Taylor. He is what he is at this point. He'll never be a good passer, but he doesn't turn it over, can make some big plays when he gets outside the pocket, and is an asset to the run game. He's a good bridge to something better. Denver only situation where he might be the answer but elway isn't dumb enough to commit a lot of money to Taylor.

It's gonna come down to whether Tyrod wants to be here. Nobody is giving him that kind of guaranteed money. Only competition I see for his services is a team like Denver where he takes less money for a chance to increase his value on a playoff caliber team. Can't think of any other playoff caliber teams with a clear QB need.

Agree with others that there's nothing there yet to give up on. He's a developmental 3rd stringer until he proves something in pre-season or the Bills go into tank mode. Will give him credit on working on his body. Looks like he shed a few pounds from his Ohio State days. He better hope Bills don't take QB in 1st or 2nd round in April. Chances of developing then are basically zero.

I'd be all for obrien too. Guy from Belichik tree who's actually had success outside of New England.

What I don't get is how the Buffalo News has the budget to employ all these guys to basically write the same stuff? They're certainly not breaking any news. You don't need more than 1 or 2 of them to do what they're doing. After 17 years of futility, I get the negativity but not sure why you need 4 or 5 of them to sit in press conferences, ask the same questions, and write the same stuff. Surprised a Buffett owned business is so inefficient.

Let Gilmore walk. He's shown he doesn't care about dogging it for half the season. Not worth it to tag him. Take the 3rd round comp pick.

Then the next question is how a guy who couldn't land a coordinator position for 10 years was getting head coach interviews? Not interested in a Rooney Rule discussion. There's gotta be more than 1 minority coordinator out there. Are there that few guys willing to interview unless they are the favorite to get the job? Rob McDermott - a coordinator for a below average defense is now a hot candidate?

Would love to know how all the same candidates seem to get interviewed by all the teams with openings. Do all NFL teams use the same search firm or something? There's 64 coordinators and a bunch of college coaches, yet every year there's 5 or 6 hot candidates who interview for all the openings. Lynn has been an NFL assistant for over 10 years and this is the 1st year he ever got a coordinator position which was due to an in-season firing. Now we're supposed to believe he's some kind of of hot commodity?

Because the Buffalo media is too f'in stupid to realize Whaley wasn't gonna throw his bosses under the bus.

What do you want him to say? Rex didn't report to him so Pegulas had all the power to fire or retain him. Doesn't matter what Whaley thinks about the Rex firing. Not his job. Whaley came across as a loyal employee to the Pegulas.

Whoever asked Whaley what does he do for a living should be fired on the spot. Unprofessional and embarrassing. Perhaps a little diversity on the Bills reporter beat would do some wonders. Don't need 10 angry middle-aged white guys to provide the exact same viewpoint.

These reporters should've been fired with Rex. A bunch of whiny 12 year olds who can't understand the world is a complex place.

Could only be a handful of guys. Start with the guys who have made enough money not to care and then look at effort on the field. I'd go Dareus, Gilmore, Clay.

No way I'm paying Gilmore. Don't care if Rex is a terrible coach, but Gilmore quit on most of the season. Not giving big money to guys like that plus Seymour looks like a find. Sign Tyrod to a 2 year $20m guaranteed deal and draft Kizer at #10.

Hard to know what to believe. Agents clearly do a good job writing stories for reporters. Wonder if Marrone is still a hot commodity.

What are the odds when you factor in no chance of winning division plus 2 losses to the Pats every year, and only 7 home games in 5 of those years?

Shaw is the guy I really want too

Keep taking QB's until we find the guy. I'm fine taking whichever of Trubisky, Watson, or Kiser is still available. Get Tyrod back for $10m a year, and give our 1st rd QB a year to sit.

If we're going the 'scumbag who failed in his first head coaching gig' route, I'd rather have Haley. Seems more like head coaching material. McDaniels strikes me as successful in New England because he will lie, cheat, steal, work 24 hours a day, and basically do whatever Belichick and Brady want with no questions.

Pass on Bortles. Looks like a Tim Couch and David Carr. Too many hits. Guys arm is noodle like now.

I'd kick the tires on David Shaw. He's kept Stanford program at a high level, and seems like the type who'd transition well to NFL. Like the idea of Coughlin but think he's better suited to a front office role than on sidelines.

Jacksonville is Buffalo circa 2008, except the home game they give up every year is 3000 miles away. Bortles was never any good and now his arm is shot.
