NFL Player Team Reports Cards -- Bills players give Sean McDermott an "A", Pegula an "A-"

Hunt family promised them improved locker rooms. Then they won the Super Bowl and of all the promises made, none of them were kept except for getting the players chairs to sit on instead of stools. 


Gotta keep the laborers yearning for more. Maybe that’s the secret sauce to their success? C’mon Pegula! Take notes!

Apparently, living in Miami and playing for a cool bro does wonders for a player's impressions of the team they play for.

He was so cringe on hard knocks though. He’s only cool when times are good. Then he comes off like an actor trying to play the role of a coach on a Netflix show.

These are from players ranking the different categories, solid overall. I'm surprised by the food/nutritionist part. Every "First 24 hours" or other video like to talk about the cafeteria and all the options they have.

 

Time for Pegula to write a check.

DAMN CHICKEN WINGS!!

Bills players seem to love their coach, owner and training facilities.  Poor grades for travel, but I wonder how much of that is impacted by the weather issues that are essentially acts of God and out of the organization's hands.

I totally agree with you. I think McDaniel's schtick has only worked so far because things have been going well for the Dolphins. The moment they hit a rough patch, I'll be very interested to see if players and media continue to find him so charming.

I happen to think he's closer to flaming out as head coach of that team than he is to breaking through to consistent success. I view him as an amazing offensive mind who will have a very long and successful career as a coordinator, but doesn't have what it takes to be a head coach. Guess we'll see.

And on a side note...it's good to see you back, YOLO.

I don't know which is more appalling to see

 

The roommate one just seems cheap and lazy

 

The child care one is a slap in the face, the cost for daycare/child care is insane these days but the amount of money the chargers collect on a game to game basis is laughable. (Unless I'm underestimating the amount of children getting care on game days)

Travis Henry would like a word with you.

The NFL is kinda doing some of these teams dirty, the owners specifically. Clark Hunt F- is going to get all the headlines, and when I saw it at first I viewed it as the players have a strong dislike toward him and potential mistreatment. But if you read the survey, the question is asked to rate your owner "when considering his willingness to invest in the facilities."

 

KC's locker room, weight room and training room are all subpar and way below standard for an NFL team, let alone a successful one. But Clark likely doesn't want to dump a bunch of money into short-term upgrades with the planned stadium renovation coming up for vote this year (new arrowhead unveiled today). 

 

One of the things that stuck out most to me is how much players seem to like their coaches. Belichick in basically the worst year of his career still got a B-minus. Sean Payton, who I thought the Broncos players hated, actually got an A-. Only three coaches got less than a B-minus, and one of them was presumably Josh McDaniels, who was canned midseason. Of the nine coaches who got B or worse, only the Browns made the playoffs.

 

This isn't coming from the NFL, though. This is an NFLPA survey. 

 

It's very interesting, no doubt. It's also very subjective/skewed. So many player votes are coming from young guys who lack job security and get paid fractions of what their highly drafted, or veteran vested, teammates see in each game check. It's an almost itinerant existence for so many back half of the roster players. A random injury, or sudden trade or signing, can lead to being inactive on gameday, or waived all together. Guys can get fired several times by the same team in the same season. Yet, they're STILL paid much better than the VAST majority of people will ever be. A year or two of fringe NFL rostering can net several decades worth of median US earnings. I'm sure this blend of privilege, risk, and relentless competition can easily lead to negatively reported employee perceptions of their even richer, whiter employers. It's the nature of the NFL machine. To see positive ratings for much of anything on these surveys is no small feat.

Not all of the fringe NFL rostering players are "lighter" or even all of the employers are white (Jacksonville).

What’s with the low grade on team travel? That should be easy to improve. Did I hear last year they make the young guys share rooms? Do they choose a lower level of accomodations?  I can’t say I know what the dissatisfaction is about, but I’d be interested to know more. They have gone all in on facilities, and travel seems so much simpler.

Did the Giants maintain a low score regarding nutrition?  They will always be epitomized to me by Gettleman the Lunch Lady chasing Kelvin Benjamin around, ragging on Kelvin's Rice Krispie squares snacks.  Probably pissed that meant fewer for Gettleman.

Yup, between blizzards and worthless trips to London, I'm sure they're fed up.
