How much talent have we lost/bypassed because they might not be the highest character players. Im not saying sign Greg Hardy but at you cant deny mcderms blinders have cost us potential talent for what?
PeterDude Posted September 17, 2018 Posted September 17, 2018 (edited) Yes, Marrone is better IMO. His personality sucks, but faith based McClappity doesn't have the greatest personality either. Marrone was smart enough to see that Whaley + Brandon = **** show He was smart to get the hell out, look at him now! Edited September 17, 2018 by PeterDude

No good HC would work with Russ and Whaley pulling the strings. If the Pegula's would have cleaned house and fired everyone from the failed Wilson era I believe Marrone would still be the HC right now. Maybe, personally I would have gone the Whaley/Schwartz route though. The Rex thing was Really asinine 2 hours ago, BillsFan17 said: Wtf It's obviously heavily satirical man. We have a guy that I'm positive would have traded Randy Moss in his prime for a can of beans when he got control of the roster. Like it or not but much of a coaches job is to babysit talented players that have been treated like royalty their entire football careers. Marrone does that. McD doesn't. McD would have traded Jalen Ramsay by now. Edited September 17, 2018 by PetermanThrew5Picks 1

BillsMafia13 Posted September 17, 2018 Posted September 17, 2018 Whats worse? Marrones stupid mug and attitude, or Mcderms stupid motivation clapping while were down 40 points.

Marrone does that. McD doesn't. I agree. I do not think what McDermott is doing is the right approach. This is why the faith based part of it annoys me to no end. He only wants a certain type of person (like religions) so they will follow the pied piper (like religions) without too many questions (like religions). You win in this league with talent, not religion. 1
rodneykm Posted September 17, 2018 Posted September 17, 2018 I'd have to say Doug is better currently, but the McDermott has a higher ceiling.

We're scumbag fans for not being entertained by Sunday blowouts. We are the worst fans ever. We can't even trust the process. It's time for each and every one of us to take long hard look in the mirror.

He's making the point that McDermott is too invested in character (as he signs Vontae Davis lol). The criticisms aren't supposed to be taken literally, they're a form of argument to establish a point. Just now, PeterDude said: From what I can tell, it is a big part of his decision making process.

If signing Vontae Davis is a lol to you ( character issues I take it ), then doesn't that go against the notion that he's "too invested in character" argument?

I think it shows he's not good at evaluating character for a guy so invested in character. So he's not even being good at getting high character guys. I don't think Watkins would retire at halftime week 2, but that's just me. He didn't fit the process though, but Vontae did! Edited September 17, 2018 by PetermanThrew5Picks

I don't recall Davis having a reputation as a bad character player, quite the opposite from my memory. The fact that he quit on McDermott I think says a lot more about McDermott and his process than it does about Davis. Davis saw the tire fire/train wreck from the inside. Seems like he decided he didn't want his career to end like that... OR McDermott totally mis-evaluated Davis' character. Not sure which scenario is worse. Forgoing talented players for high character and then whiffing on the high character part. Edited September 17, 2018 by PeterDude
Dablitzkrieg Posted September 17, 2018 Posted September 17, 2018 I'm sure if McDermott had that defense, he would look good as well. That is by far, the best defense in the league

My point is the assumption, and thats exactly what it is, that his primary focus is on high character guys is not really backed by much more than a few comments here and there.

So he wouldn't have the best defense in the league. Because he's a "my way or the highway" kind of coach.

Richie is Richie, but in the last 13 months there have been 3 long time NFL vets who quit on this team. 1
Lfod Posted September 17, 2018 Posted September 17, 2018 St. Doug showed potential in Buffalo. He stuck to his guns and left a team he felt he couldn't be successful working for. He took a lesser position on another team ended up being HC again and you can't argue with the results so far. I would say that Doug definitely has a place in the NFL as a HC. I would predict his seat is safe for awhile and when it's not other seats will be available for him. Sean McDermott is another first time HC just like Doug was when he started. The team held about the same record but managed to break the drought. I can't answer the question. It's easy to hate on Sean McDermott because of how the team looks right now. I'm definitely dissapointed in the defense considering that's his specialty and that is where the rescources went. Sean Definitely isn't as established as Doug is at the moment. I don't think he has proven he has earned a seat in the NFL as a HC yet. I believe in Sean McDermott still. I'll let a bad season slide. Especially if Josh Allen can develop in the mess. 1

It's hard to trust the coaches McDermott has surrounded Allen with. If Allen develops it's almost like he has to figure it out himself, that sounds like a complete opposite approach to say what Mahomes went/is going through.
