I doubt that he is going to go with him to the Bears with Herzlich now the OC. Just doesn't seem like a fit. I could see both Castillo and Culley winding up on Pat Shurmur's staff in NY. They both have obvious ties to him. Our gain would be the Giants' loss.

Although last year the summer was scorching hot where I live in WNY and this winter has been brutal. Spring and fall are great in NY, usually summer is decent too, hopefully we can have more 78° days with a nice breeze.

I have a lot of relatives in South Carolina. They literally are held prisoner by Air Conditioning from 10AM to 6PM from May through September...not my kind of life... Yeah I lived in northern Florida for a while and the summers were absolutely brutal! 100(+) degrees and humid as !@#$. People literally had to walk around with sweat rags... we had plastic furniture we left outside that started to deform... lol. Like you said, I didn't want to leave the a/c. Plus there's lots more bugs and stuff like that, since they can live there year round. Taking a walk in the woods was a whole new ordeal, with not having grown up there (so I didn't know the different plants, animals, bugs etc to watch out for). Lots of spiders, poisonous ones too, like brown recluses (who will leave a hole in you if they bite) and black widows. They had to spray my place once a month to keep them under control. Fire ants. Love bugs that glue themselves to your car and don't come off. Mosquitoes like crazy, and the list goes on... Oh and CHIGGERS. I had no idea what these even were until I walked through a patch of long grass and was miserable for the next week+ with little tiny bugs imbedded under my skin. I almost had a damn alligator eat my dog, too! (I lived right on the St. John's river). There was a lot to like about living down south, but the summer heat was not one of those things. I honestly don't miss it. I like the change of seasons.

I went to the Bills game here in week two. Good god it was awful. Sunday’s are spent in the pool with a cold summer lager.... or three? When we moved here 20 years ago, pool season was end of April till end oz September. Now it’s end of May till Labor Day. Once the highs are only in the 80s it’s too cold. 1 hour ago, PaattMaann said: hmmmm...if he was doing so great with Cam I wonder why they fired him (not being an a$$, truly wondering)...I didn't know he was well regarding or credited for Cam's "development" so I guess I will have to take your word for it Norv Turner is the QB whisperer hire so Dorsey is expendable. Regarding Cam, imo, Cam is streaky and seems to play well when interested and awful sometimes when not. Dorsey should have improved him past that in four years or Cam isn’t buying in. Is it Cam? Is it Dorsey?

Ehh..not really...they live near Columbia, which is literally the hottest place in the South on average h in the summer due to the "fish bowl" topography that ends up heating things up there...the average high in July is 95...thats average...its hotter than that a lot...averages in June and August are like 92 and 93...May and September are usually like half high 80s and half 90s... Its too much for me...of course like dumbasses we went to visit one summer because we already had a trip planned over the kids winter break somewhere(when we usually go and its like 60s or 70s) and wouldn't you know it, we ended up being there when they set the all-time record high for state of 109...at one of the kid museums in Downtown Columbia that day...we came outside and I literally couldnt touch the steering wheel it burned my hands...had to sit there with the doors opena nd AC running for about 15 minutes... Also ended up taking a trip to Philly a few years ago and had an excessive heat warning the entire time we were there that week with temps between 95 and 102...I really know how to pick my times to go places in the summer... But to the original point...thanks but no thanks...you keep your heat, thunderstorms every day in the summer that makes it more humid and does nothing to cool it off, tornadoes and gators down there....I'm good up here.

hondo in seattle Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 1 hour ago, Buffalo Boy said: Devils advocate: What has he done? Newton, Ponder and Webb. I’m a big Cam fan but he has been infuriating at times with piss poor mechanics. Not sure what Dorsey actually Brings to the table? Some NFL QB coaches don't teach mechanics at all. Instead they focus the QB on understanding the offense and then understanding the defense he's playing against. Somewhere I read that Daboll was this kind of QB coach with the Jets back in the day. He was brilliant with X's and O's and film study but brought nothing to the table regarding mechanics. Though you'd expect Dorsey - an ex QB - to have a good knowledge of mechanics and be able to teach it. 2

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 I'm in Carolina, but in Wilmington on the coast. Huge difference, would not want t olive down here inland!! Almost every day by around 3:00 the sea breeze kicks up and even on 100 degree days, can go walk on the beach in comfort in the evening with the breeze blowing. It's also a much shorter period of brutal heat compared to Florida, most years up until Memorial Day , not bad to be outside and again after Labor Day not too bad either. My house is about 3 miles from the ocean, and while the sea breeze is great on the beach, still too hot to walk around the neighborhood, but beach is great. Sea breeze also keeps things a little warmer in the winter than inland. I also was at the Bills game in Charlotte and agree it was hot on the sun side of the stadium and temp were a bit below normal too, but again that's inland.
Peter Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 FWIW - Ken Dorsey is a very bright guy who excelled at the QB position in college without having an elite arm. Based on what I know of him, I suspect that Dorsey is a very good coach and would be a great hire. I also suspect that Dorsey will end up being an OC at some point in his career. Disclaimer: I am a Canes fan, but I do believe that Dorsey would be a good coach.

GO BILLS! Thing I noticed down here, up in WNY in the winter time your windows will get all fogged up on the inside. Depending on how good your windows are, the temps may need to get down close to zero before fogging up with good windows. Here the windows fog up on the outside in the early morning hours in July. Second thing, I've noticed when I get to work and step out of the car, my glasses often will fog up, again something that never happened up north. Humidity is bad down here, but comfortable on the beach.

I know it's hot but it's nothing that keeps me inside. I'm more active in the summer brutal heat more than any other time of the year. My wife and I go hiking at Stone Mountain or Kennesaw Mountain mid day in July and August. The sweat makes you feel good. I actually like to workout in that heat. I have adjustable dumbbells that I'll bring outside onto my patio to workout. I use a reel lawnmower and a manual edger all summer long. Just drink a lot of water. 1

It certainly is an upgrade. Is Newton a significantly different player now than he was at Auburn? How did Dorsey change him.

GO BILLS! People act like Buffalo is Siberia...give me a damn break. You want cold? Go to the upper Midwest...go to Watertown,NY...places where is routinely gets 30, 40 below zero(without the wind chill)...places you have to plug in your engines so the block doesnt crack...places that are so cold your fingers literally hurt when you try and grab something. Sorry...average highs of 31 and lows of 18 just are not that cold...do we have cold days? Maybe a week or week and a half? Yeah but we also get thaw outs too... Edited January 24, 2018 by matter2003

I grew up in Minnesota and that's cold. It doesn't snow as much as Buffalo but it's cold cold for about 6-7 weeks a year. Bone chilling cold.

Significantly different? I don’t know. I do know that he was the league MVP under Dorsey though. It’s a bit of an unfair question. We have no idea how much or little any coach impacts a particular player. All that we have to judge on are the results. Cam won a league MVP and has been a pretty good QB without top end weapons around him. That’s a positive for Dorsey IMO. Edited January 24, 2018 by Kirby Jackson
