Excellent, Did they confirm to you he has accepted the position?

I asked if he was on board he just smiled.

Green Owl?

They would never go to the Green Owl, not with all that Steelers crap everywhere.

I posted this in another thread in response to a poster who said Roman has done very little in developing QBs. I thought it appropriate to this thread:

 

Roman's rushing offenses finished in the top 8 (3 in the top 5) each of his four years in SF. We need to improve the O line and running game first. Then I would like to see what Roman can do with EJ and whoever else is on the roster this spring. I look at what he did with Alex Smith, who, IMO, is the kind of QB that fits a team with a strong defense and strong running game:

2009 (Before Roman) 11 games, completed 60 % of his passes, with 18 TDs, 12 INTs, and 81.5 Rating

2010 (Before Roman) 11 games, completed 59 % of his passes, with 14 TDs, 10 INTs, and 82.1 Rating

2011 (With Roman) 18 games, completed 61% of his passes, with 22 TDs, 5 INTs, and 92.1 Rating

2012 (With Roman) 9 games, completed 70% of his passes, with 13 TDs, 5 INTs, and 100.4 Rating

Then Harbaugh decided to stay with Kaepernick

2012 62% of his passes, with 14 TDs, 5 INTs, and a 99 Rating

2013 58% of his passes, with 24 TDs, 11 INTs, and a 88.7 Rating

2014 61% of his passes, with 19 TDs, 10 INTs, and a 86.4 Rating

I think Roman did all right with developing young QBs. If any QBs for Buffalo, in a four year period, completed over 60% of their passes for 92 TDs, 36 INTs, and over a 90 Rating, we would be ecstatic...

I was one of the posters negatively commenting on Roman's ability to develop a passing attack. And I maintain some of my reservations. But these stats - especially the improvement in Alex Smith when he started working with Roman - make me hope I'm wrong. Thanks.

If this were a swap, I'd take Ryan and Roman over Marrone and Hackett every day of the week and twice on Sundays. I think the Pegulas did very well handling this.

Welcome to New York State, Mr Ryan, and to real wings.

This is why TBD is the best. Our fans are a network of eyes and ears that sometimes scoops the media.

Between Leroi and now Chris, this board has become the cutting edge way to know what is going to happen with the Bills. Love it!

Probably staying at the Ramada Inn across the street. Great Bloody Mary at La Boheme, no booze at the Green Owl.

 

It's a Marriot, but there or The Seagate.

To me, the Roman hire puts all this over the top and makes me almost giddy. He is top shelf. He knows qbs. I would trust him to identify a qb who maybe would have been overlooked by everyone else.

 

If we get Callahan to coach the oline... oh man
