He's no Dockery tho.

This is exactly how I read it and kudos to McD for adapting different leadership styles per player personality. Management through the media, and giving him praise to boost his confidence and get even more dedication and buy-in.

Marrone and that Defense in 2014 definitely make the playoffs, maybe even the Super Bowl, with Josh. Marrone didnt want to develop a QB... from one of the worst QB classes of all time in 2013. I think given a talent like Josh, who was a top 10 pick in one of the more hyped classes, Doug would have coached him.

He's there.

Those are all reasons he should sign whatever deal Miami has offered him. Tua is dumb if he plays this year without a new deal. But if he sits out and Miami lets him walk, his value wont be great either. Just make a deal already.

Stop posting these updates on this show airing. We can just punch ourselves in the nuts whenever we get too happy and not even have to turn the TV on.

Dumb for him to hold out. I'm sure Miami's FO really doesnt want to give him $50-60M/year. Maybe that's the issue. The offers from the Dolphins are lower than he expected. If I were the Dolphins, I'd let him walk. But as a Bills fan I hope he gets himself a big contract there.

I actually dont hate them. The helmets are whatever, but I like the horizontal stripe on the jersey. Better than most of the "modern" looking jerseys.

Taylor Derangement Syndrome has really affected some of yall

Didnt want to start a whole new thread for this, but I know we all love to see it....

There might be some logic behind the thinking of "No one will watch Giants/Panthers if it is up against all the other games, so we need to schedule it as the only game on at that time." Same with giving us the Jags instead of Ravens, Lions, Texans. Those games will dominate ratings even if they are up against 12 other games. No need to waste Prime Time slots on games that already get ratings. I dont know. I pulled that out of my ass. But I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

More people are on streaming services than on cable nowadays. This is like complaining when games first went from broadcast stations to ESPN on cable. The times they are a changin (or already have changed).

Most folks here would be fine with that since they already have that subscription.

lol, this trade and subsequent fallout just gets better and better. set the franchise back years, maybe a decade. they are so screwed.

SHOW ME THAT TUA CONTRACT!!

TODD! TODD! TODD! TODD! TODD! TODD! TODD! TODD! TODD! TODD! TODD! TODD! TODD! TODD!

He willingly took a big paycut this year to get his cap hit down to $7.7M. That's just a little more than we paid Harty last year, and I expect him to produce more than Harty did. He is absolutely TE2. Or "Old School TE 1" in that, while Kincaid is listed as a TE, I expect him split out and running routes while Knox lines up with the OL. I'd bet he'd be willing to rework his entire contract, and take a cut on annual cash if we extended the years.

Dude's a real demon of fleet street

Rice heard that Kansas City was hoping he would fill Tyreek Hill's shoes, and he is doing his best to achieve it.

Cant judge on mere speculation, that's for sure. And I dont know about any injury. But there were definitely some classic McD situational weird decisions in the beginning of the season that could have easily knocked the kid off track. The Denver game comes to mind, although I dont remember the exact situation. I remember being frustrated with his decisions on when to not just take the easy points, but then later on throw Bass out there on a long kick he clearly was not going to make.

Sweet

I'm a big proponent/supporter of the Rooney Rule, and will almost always argue that every chance to interview is worth it alone. Especially for up and coming coaches to grow their network. But this situation is unique. It's no secret who the next Pats GM will be (Wolfe), and at this point, no one wants to help the Pats organization. And if potential (non)candidates want to turn them down, so be it. FTP

Well, we're checking off the classic "Rooney Rule debate" today so you know what is coming next...
