Rockpile233 Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 The ESPN broadcast made a point to mention Pegula’s love for Allen. If you think that wasn’t a contributing factor ok, but I certainly do. It might work out, it might not. We’ll see...

My bar is very low and yet this organization fails to reach it time and time again no matter who is in charge and/or employed. It's amazing.

This guy has refused to hire a President of Hockey Operations to run the hockey side of the Sabres, and he refuses to hire someone to fill a similar role with the Bills. I really hope that Beane makes the final call on all moves...F/A, draft, trades, roster. He has hired both. They're called GMs.
LabattBlue Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 Just now, oldmanfan said: He has hired both. They're called GMs. That's the point. I don't want a fracking tycoon to be the guy hiring the GM's and/or involved in the hiring of the HC... Murray Rolston Bylsma Housley Botterill Rex Beane McDermott That's quite a resume. 1

You're being naïve if you think that: 1. Terry didn't make calls around the leagues to people he knows asking about guys for GM and 2, that owners of other teams are not involved in selecting their senior staff, even if they have a Director of Operations such as you would like. He made a couple bad picks with Tim Murray and Rex/Whaley. He realized that, corrected it, and brought in well regarded young men in Beane and Botterill from winning organizations. Beane and McDermott got things turned around quickly enough to make it to the playoffs last year; Botterill needs more time to clear the roster of guys like O'Reilly who admits he doesn't give it his max effort all the time. Give these two GMs time and I think we'll be OK on both fronts.

Boatdrinks Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 No. I think the football guys made a football decision . I would have chosen the other Josh, but after seeing the Kim Pegula interview I don't think the owners did any more than give the thumbs up. That likely would have happened with any of the QBs.

T master Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 If he turns out to be a good QB it will be Bean & Pegula's pick if he sucks it will be a Brandon influenced pick !!

Hapless Bills Fan Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 5 hours ago, Doc Brown said: I watched six of his games last year. They blew it. And MetzelaarsLives and TheBandit watched his games and apparently disagree. So we'll watch and see.

You should probably bail and pick another team bud, because You sure arent a Bills fan the way you are acting. Bills fans are the toughest sob’s on the planet.....Allen was the pick, suck it up. The Pegulas’ are the only reason the Bills are and will stay in Buffalo. Now get a grip....
