The Big Cat

Totally fair question. Best candidate we could have hired. But that's because the nature of the work outpaces the pay for the position's level. So we had to find someone within a sweet spot of acceptably low skills combined with nontraditional professional goals for the field.

I'm doing it right now for a new hire I manage. I have to in order for him/me/us to succeed.

Ha, yeah. I just scanned the front page. I haven't been deep into threads so if that's where it was, it would have eluded me. Totally agree. Also, knowing anything about human nature would lead you to believe that the 2015 growing pains would/should have been two fold: Players getting to know coaches/scheme Coaches/scheme getting to know players By all reports now, there is adaptability on both sides of the table, and things are progressing as if.

Can't believe this hasn't been discussed, unless I missed it: http://www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bills/index.ssf/2016/04/rex_ryan_has_simplified_buffalo_bills_defense_according_to_lb_preston_brown.html

Listened to Andrew Brandt this morning talk about how Philly ALREADY has 34M tied up in QB's. So...lockdown corner?

In the game they won, they had 57 yards of total offense with 7 min to go in the third quarter.

Yet still, his absences against NYG, TEN & JAX did not go unnoticed. Lest we forget that angle.

Being a dick is sometimes requisite to being a great receiver. I'll allow it. Speaking of dicks...

This compromises his "leadership" message from late last season. And nothing else. It's nice knowing (read: hoping) that we have a QB now who can/will communicate/set the tone for what is/isn't acceptable. Or so I hope.

Wasn't that in 2013?

Brad Butler went to Kellog with my buddy from OP. Skinny now. Long hair. Still has the beard.

It's all good, the Patriots* are smarter than everyone.

I don't think strawman means what you think it means.

Yes they do. You're just being beligerent. I can't and won't help you further. If you want to carry on believing the HC had no input on the no. 3 overall pick and the largest contract in league history, knock yourself out. In every sense. Please.

You keeping using words like "baseless" and "specious" and "flippant" and "nonsense" as if just running counter to conventional wisdom and notions that 100% reasonable (that the HC would have a major say on his third overall pick and the largest contract in league history--and those links each show that he did) is all that takes. Appreciate your concern for my ego. I assure you, no concern is necessary.

Can always rely on you guys to add value wherever you strike.

What a laugh.

You guys have really outdone yourselves.

Wild claims. Yes. Wild. Completely !@#$ing wild to think that the HC would have a major say in the third overall pick and the guy signing the must lucrative contract in franchise history. WILD!! Here's an idea for your next poll: do our lungs really need oxygen? Then you can bludgeon people with demands for links when the answer comes back counter to your ever-contrarian take. Or may be that's too wild.

Making things up to argue? Where would you get an idea like that? It's true though. When you're outnumbered 9:1 in the poll you created, it must be everyone but you.

Yeah, well, Rex used to coach in the city that had atrocities happen on 9/11. So what does that tell ya? Nuff said.

You want a link to prove that the HC had some say on: The no. 3 overall pick A player signed to the highest contract in league Those are two things you're unsure of? Okay. We're done here.

Or Mario. Or Dareus.
