There is no “special Ed” (nice one there, BTW) program in the NFL. Just like you admitted there isn’t one in any other league. Sure you were, doc. Andyes, I “admitted” a fact. Good pick up!

But if a genie gave you one wish, that one Buffalo team could be championship caliber, but the other would be total garbage, and you got to pick which team was which, you'd pick the Bills, wouldn't you? I'd have to say yes

The only time he wasn’t cheap was during the levy/Kelly era and then right up until after the Bledsoe failure he went right back to being extremely cheap not only in not spending money on free agents or re signing our own but also was very cheap when it came to HCs Not just money but also control after Tom Donahoe did a ***** job both building the team and running the org. From that moment on, Ralph would only hire people he knew or worked worked with in the past as GM in Marv, Russ Brandon, and Buddy Nix. That’s your drought, people

At best it has to be a recommendation, as in "hey, what about this guy?" No one is telling owners who they have to hire. If that were the case, then someone would also have told them to hire Rex. You can't conveniently blame them for hiring him but credit someone else with McBeane, much less because of pity. That's silly. 1

Winning and investment in the team will end up doing that. The Pegulas not only invested when it came to free agents and ditching cash to cap but they also built a state of the art practice facility and one of the best support infrastructures in the league. Now they have a head coach GM Combo that can put it all together and it's resulting in winning. All that leads to a good reputation within the league.
