Poor man's Dick Jauron who lucked into the most physically gifted QB ever

[T.E.]

Let's be honest...that's what McDermott is.

 

All the coaches we've criticized never had the talent McDermott has.

 

Put Allen on the Mike Mularkey 2004 Bills - that team possibly wins the Super Bowl. Put Allen on any Jauron teams that went 7-9 every year with Losman/Edwards - those teams make the playoffs annually. Doug Marrone's 2014 Bills that went 9-7 with a lights-out defense and Kyle Orton - that team goes deep into the playoffs. Rex Ryan took Mark Freaking Sanchez to the AFC Championship twice. What does he do with Allen?

 

Why does this guy continue to get credit for turning the team around when it's clearly a case of him simply getting a HOF QB by chance? How many games does his defense have to blow? How many more stupid timeouts? How many more?

I've been saying this for 3 years and have been suspended here twice for voicing my opinion on this bumbling moron of a coach....the biggest issue with the Bills is and always has been McDermott 

[PromoTheRobot]

His GM masterfully pulled a "Draft Day" to get Josh Allen. The QB 90% of Bills fans called "the wrong Josh."😂  

[SCBills]

It’s beyond obvious at this point.  
 

Without Josh Allen - McDermott is a culture guy whose culture unravels without winning and defensive guy, whose defenses rarely show up in big moments.

90% of what this team has accomplished is because of Josh Allen.  Not because we have some great HC.  McD manages to screw things up 10x more than he makes them better.

[TheFunPolice]

There's no way to know, but what would Jauron's record be with this roster?

 

He went 7-9 practically every year with zero QB and a pretty pitiful roster.

 

My guess? He would do a little worse than McDermott, maybe 10-11 wins each year but not much different.

 

If that sounds crazy just imagine Josh Allen over Losman or trent equals 3 wins a season. 

[Governor]

Whaley and Marrone would already have a SB. No question.

[LeGOATski]

I would flip it. Jauron was a poor man's McDermott. I think young people are misremembering what Jauron was actually like.

Yes, I think still a little worse. He may have actually ruined Allen. We don't know.

Good lord almighty, NO they would not. We can criticize McDummy without pretending other bad coaches were good.

Even a trash can gets a steak every now and then....are we supposed to ignore all the other bad decisions by him bc he lucked into josh allen?

2014 Bills team with Marrone/Whaley/Pettine with Allen and Diggs would finish with a MUCH better record than this team will.

McDermott isn't gonna get to 10 wins this season....hard not to make ten wins with a Qb like josh allen

This is so patently obvious to anyone who doesn't have blinders on. People make it look like McDermott inherited an expansion team.

 

They were 7-9 the year before he took over. He won a couple more games than Rex with a creampuff schedule and that team was actually worse than the team before it by many metrics. They proceeded to blow up the roster and rebuild and then lucked into a dynamo at QB. 

 

McDermott would be back in Carolina coaching defensive backs if it wasn't for Allen.

This post could almost infringe on Beane because to your point, the thought of some of those drought era teams with Josh is a bit scary. I think we probably had more talent on several of those teams. I wish I could see Allen throw to a Lee Evan’s type once in my life.

Again. We have a team capable of winning a Super Bowl. Beane is why.

This is McDermott’s team. I’ve always maintained that. McDermott has the same power as Andy Reid. That’s been reported.

Yes it is. So now what? Did McDermott build this team? Did Beane? It's a good team but poorly coached in-game. Does this mean you can't keep Beane without McDermott?

[Since1981]

This thread is correct and interesting. What would this McD team look like without Beane grabbing 17? And what would drought teams look like with 17?

 

It’s clear that McD is not the answer

[Steptide]

I'll never believe that Allen was the front offices first choice. It always felt like Darnold to me. Having said that, couldn't be happier with Allen and we have a superstar 

[Brian Higgins hair]

….Maybe, just maybe when you consistently miss on early round players like Basham, Elam, Epenesa, and destroy the cap by signing aging vets like Miller, Tre and Poyer, this is what happens.

‘McDermott holds a lot of res, but Beane is no GM god.
