BringBackOrton Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 Good comparison of Marrone to him. Excellent retort. Remember when he won the most games in a Bills season since Hurrican Katrina?
rant_and_go Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 all had great success elsewhere. They proved Marrone was holding them back from greatness. Funny how good coaches take people from nowhere and turn them into stars, while bad coaches can never find their guy. Maybe success at the QB position doesn't have anything to do with height or hand size or college program, but has to do with someone who knows everything there is about the NFL being straight with people and telling them the right thing to do.
Mark Vader Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) Like Trump bringing all those manufacturing jobs to the Rust Belt... LMAO Truly comical. Just as comical as Solyndra. Have they signed Cyril Richardson? Edited July 28, 2017 by Mark Vader
26CornerBlitz Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 Remember when he won the most games in a Bills season since Hurrican Katrina? Like you I am so proud of his 9-7 season when the Patriots didn't care about the final regular season game at the end of the '14 season.
Chilly Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 Rex might not have been the right fit, but I'm damn sure Marrone wasn't either.
Royale with Cheese Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 Rex might not have been the right fit, but I'm damn sure Marrone wasn't either. I don't think Marrone is a fit anywhere. He's one of those guys that is just such an !@#$ that it's miserable to work for and with.
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) Rex might not have been the right fit, but I'm damn sure Marrone wasn't either. ...Marrone's "fit" was because he rubbed Brandon & Whaley the wrong way with his "General Patton" style.......they hated being included in every team meeting after practices which went to 9 or 10PM nightly...Marrone professed culture change which Pegula must have liked, offering him a 4 year, $19.6 mil extension.....but he knew the other two were against him so he bolted.....coincidence that McD was Pegula's choice, a very regimented and all FOOTBALL business approach?....doubt it.....look at some of the camp reports already posted about no nonsense crispness, etc under McD.....the culture IS changing IMO....leave Wrecks out of the equation.......he's ESPN's problem now...........

Right. That's why Jack Del Rio went from a .500 coach in his later tenure in Jax to a good coach in Oakland. Because he "took people from nowhere and turned them into stars." Or, you know, got a good QB. Oh and Mike Mularkey. Another "good" coach who took the #2 overall pick in Mariota from nowhere. Oh, don't forget about Jim Haurbaugh! He found Kaep from nowhere, turned him into a star, then Kaep turned back into a pumpkin and he got fired. Except for the HoFers, the QB has always made the coach. And in some of the HoFers, even they got a little lucky with QB's. What was our excuse when we played the Pats while they didn't care and still lost? Good coaching?
eball Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 Any reports of Saint Doug "rocking out" to 80s rap at training camp yet?
Adam Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 Again, not a Doug fan but 9-7 with a roster that was pretty bad, not sure some of you guys expect. Rex had a far superior roster to not do as well. Roster now is even better now, how many more games will they win? Exactly. And he said ideally he wouldn't throw a pass. He never said he think that is likely to happen.

BringBackOrton Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 What game was that? You really like asking these inane questions. Gillette the year before? Try to keep up.
YoloinOhio Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 Just as comical as Solyndra. Have they signed Cyril Richardson? I heard he's going to go out and find a 6'6" 32 year old OT and play him at guard #best5
26CornerBlitz Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 Gillette the year before? Try to keep up. You mean when Marrone was also the head coach??
BringBackOrton Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 You mean when Marrone was also the head coach?? Yes. He was. Nice point?
26CornerBlitz Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 Yes. He was. Nice point? Perfect point since you posted: What was our excuse when we played the Pats while they didn't care and still lost? Good coaching?

Maybe success at the QB position doesn't have anything to do with height or hand size or college program, but has to do with someone who knows everything there is about the NFL being straight with people and telling them the right thing to do. I have to agree mostly with this statement. A great coach takes a mediocre team and has them competing in the playoffs. A bad coach takes a team of solid above average players and misses a wild card birth. How many QB's have the bills ruined in the last 17 years.... There is something to be said by intangibles and hand size arm strength and cognitive ability... but a bad coach wouldn't be able to maximize those traits anyway Edited July 28, 2017 by ddaryl
BringBackOrton Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 Perfect point since you posted: What was our excuse when we played the Pats while they didn't care and still lost? Good coaching? Holy smokes dude. The point was when we lost to the Pats and they didn't care, you probably thought it was because Marrone sucked. Then we beat them when they didn't care, and you STILL weren't happy. A child could follow better.
#34fan Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 Ideally, Marrone coaches ZERO minutes in a game. He was worth hanging onto just to keep Schwartz... Him and Hackett are the saddest show on turf.
