If you cant evaluate talent, you shouldnt be a head coach. You have crossed over into the troll department at this point. You are just trying to get a rise out of people. Just give it a rest Expand Then why do teams have GMs? Why does the scouting department not overlap with the coaching? Why do so few people make the jump from one to the other? Sure, a science teacher and a math teacher do the same thing, and they even generally understand what the other does. But they have their specialties, and there is a reason they don't do both. You rely on the GM for specialized knowledge the coach doesn't have. Sure, the coach has a general understanding, but that isn't specialized. And, lazy take? There isn't anything "lazy" about it.

The guy they planned to hire and trust to evaluate the position wasn't with the team. We are not talking about a guarantee. Drafting your franchise QB is always a gamble. Even the best prospects fail half the time, and Mahomes was farrrrr from the best prospect. It would be insane to make that gamble under those circumstances. Expand You are overstating a lot in that post. You’re also misleading when you assume there was no one in place to do proper scouting. Quite frankly, if there wasn’t, then that’s on McD. He came in here to lead and/or collaborate with those in place. Even if he wanted to bring in his own GM (which Is bet he did), it was still his responsibility to make it a productive drat and season. As for Mahomes the draft prospect, I’m not sure how anyone can support the Allen pick but not have advocated for Mahomes. They were both raw, both possessed rocket arms and had great physical tool. The biggest known difference was that Mahomes was a lot more accurate.

Mahomes is good...no doubt...but look at his supporting cast. Having Tyreek Hill and Kelce to throw to helped his development tremendously. Now they've added more speed in Williams. Mahomes just has to throw the ball. They will go get it. I just don't think it would have looked that pretty on the Bills considering the supporting cast. Expand So don’t draft your QB when you have the chance, wait until everything else is in place? You must’ve been pissed off when the Bills took Allen then because they had less surrounding offensive talent at that point. You get him when you can.

But, inevitably, the QB he picks will define his time with the Bills and his reputation as a coach. Picking a QB half bind would have been breathtakingly negligent. He will not get a second bite at that apple. He gets one shot. So when he takes that shot, he needed to be ready with his staff and his guys, so that he has alllll the information he needs.
