NewEra Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 1 hour ago, Logic said: Yep, I agree. I think the Bills figure they likely have three of the four secure. QB, CB, and LT. They just need their edge rusher. Murphy's just a complimentary piece and Hughes is closer to the end of his career than the beginning. This explains the current rumors about the Bills having serious interest in Frank Clark. I will not be surprised in the least bit if the Bills draft an edge rusher at #9 or trade for a recently franchised guy. Jerry Hughes at the end of his career is more of a cornerstone DE than Dion Dawkins is at LT. Just because the dude was a 2nd rd pick doesn’t mean he’s our guy. One decent year. One bad year. Zay was a 2nd rd pick and had one bad year and one decent year, why isn’t he a long term. just saying, good chance that Dawkins isn’t our LT of the future unless he makes big strides 2
BillsfanAZ Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 I dont care that Buffalo couldnt pull off the trade but for what he did to Pitt and the way he is carrying on about a new team, I kind of hope he breaks his leg in training camp.
oldmanfan Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 Most likely scenario is Brown stays in Pittsburgh.

So because you dont agree/like someone you wish physical harm on them... makes sense.

I mean if it brings down his ego. Maybe harm is best for someone like Brown. He has let success go to his head which I wouldn't expect from someone like him. I mean he was drafted in the 6th round and went to Central Michigan for crying out loud. I figured someone with that background would stay humble and realize that he got to where he is due to hard work and determination. Instead he turned into a freaking prima Donna. Maybe something needs to happen in his life to bring him back down to earth and make him realize he isn't bigger then any NFL team. Yes physical harm is a bit extreme but hey it could be best for him as a person.

But I do hope the a-hole goes broke in Vegas! .

Look at the trade details between that tweet (March 2) and the tweet from today; there is an obvious difference. It's an absolute garbage deal for the Steelers and obviously biased in the Saints favor, from an obvious Saints fan twitter account. Give me a break.
Shaw66 Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 12 hours ago, Logic said: Very interesting. There certainly does seem to be a formula for winning that is not just as simple as "Get a coach, get a QB". I USED to think that was all that was needed, but the careers of QBs from Dan Fouts, to Dan Marino, to Philip Rivers, to Andrew Luck so far, even to how few rings Peyton Manning won...It's NOT just coach and QB. Get a QB, protect him. Get to the opposition's QB and affect him. That's still the gist. HOW that all is done seems to be fungible. The biggest changes I see are interior pass rushers becoming as important as edge rushers, and consequently centers and guards becoming more important than they used to be. Additionally, right tackle has become a more premium position, as more and more top line edge rushers line up on the left. Football's strategic evolution is so ***** interesting. You guys are having an interesting discussion, but I don't buy it. It's coach and QB. That doesn't mean that's all you need, but those are the only two things you MUST have. The rest is coaching and creativity. Look at Belichick and Gronk. Belichick figured out he could attack with a tight end if he had the right one. But you don't need a great tight end to win. If you have a good one he dictates some of your [offense, but you don't need one. Yes, there are trends, but all the good coaches, pretty much all the coaches, follow the trends. That doesn't make them winners. I agree you need some basic level of talent, but beyond LT the talent can be spread around the lineup in any number of ways. McBeane obviously wanted talent at MLB, and that isn't a position you guys named. A good center helps. Shutdown corner, sure, but not essential. Get a Palomalu, you can do some special things. Again, look at Belichick. Shutdown corner is about the only position he seems to covet; everything else he just wants good ordinary football players who do their jobs. Give me a coach and a QB. So long as the coach has decent talent spread around the roster, he should be able to figure out how to win. If he cant, he isnt the right coach. 1
Golden Goat Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 I'm cool that the AB thing fell through. But if we sign Funchess, I'm going to throw up in my mouth. A lot. 2

He does this, he does that, he can fart and land on the moon, etc. Here's the problem, the majority, if not all, of the rest of the coaches in the NFL are not as smart as Belichick. Pederson and Peyton may be the exceptions. The reason why NE won the SB is because Belichick is smarter and more experienced than McVay. Unfortunately, this includes McD. I don't think McD is anywhere near the coach that Belichick is, and I'm not completely confident that he'll get there, either. I think McD can be a decent to good coach, but I think that he is a bit too conservative and lacks the "finish them off" mentality to be on a Belichick level. Having said this, I believe that the only way to beat Belichick is to have a number of stars in multiple positions. Belichick may not need this, but pretty much every other coach does. I don't see how you beat him consistently without it; McDermott included. I understand your initial post, and this was just my opinion. 2

BillsShredder83 Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 12 hours ago, whatdrought said: Oh yeah! That's gonna be awesome. Guys like Dion Jones trying to taking a Mike Alstott. Meh, it is and it isn't. Really the reason that this evolution happens is the way the farm system (college) affects the NFL. It's even crazy looking all the way back to Pewee and little tykes... People complain about a lack of black QB's, but the young teams that I've helped coach have always had white QB's cause the black kids are typically much better athletes and are wasted at QB when the QB does nothing. That trend goes all the way through College. It's such a waterfall thing. Super interesting but yeah have definitely seen that now that its brought to my attention 1

Andrew Son Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 15 hours ago, Coach Tuesday said: He doesn’t care about team success. He is working on his brand and his benjamins. He’ll figure he can thrive under the Vegas spotlight with no state income tax to boot. One things for sure, he's doing a masterful job marketing himself. He owns the news right now. A lot of people think he's nuts, but he might just be crazy brilliant. 1

It is real interesting if he ends up cut.
