You really think Fraizer left on his own?

 

Don't forget about firing Dennison

 

I did forget Dennison. And on Frazier, I don't think. I know. From as close as you can get to the horses mouth.

Love this one.

 

lets break it down.

 

is Josh Allen a top 2 QB in football? Yes of course, right?

 

Is Brandon Beane a top 2 GM?

 

Is Sean McDermott a top 2 HC?

 

Is there anyone on the Bills top 2 at their position?

 

Is the entire Bills roster top 2 in talent?

 

The answer to every question other than the one about Josh is clearly “no,” to everyone. 
 

So they are legitimately all second-rate, relatively. Except for Josh.

 

Fun stuff!

 

 

What you do, you go buy yourself a dictionary. Then you look up the phrase "second rate."

 

Then, if you've got a clue you'll find that neither Brandon Beane nor Sean McDermott nor the entire Bills roster could be called second-rate, unless the person doing the calling had a mind that was second-rate.

IMO a lot of the underwhelming views come from, how hyped many were for Kincaid. From his scouting report and the draft, fans were hoping for that elite TE and to be the Gronk of the Bills. 

 

He's going to be a very good player, I don't think he is going to a standout like many hoped.

That combined with how good LaPorta has looked in Detroit.  I don't think Kincaid is a bum but I don't think he lives up to the heightened expectations created for him.

Several reporters have said the same thing.  If they had plans to move on from Frazier, why wait until March when most coaching positions are filled?  
 

Regardless, whether it’s Dennison, Crossman, Farwell, Dorsey or Smiley, McDermott has typically made good decisions moving on from his staff

Maybe he just isn't that good.

 

 

All you've got to do to know that's not true is to look at his first year.

 

Tying for 7th in receptions and being 10th in yards - as a rookie - and you know he's plenty good.

 

How good exactly? Not enough info yet.

 

In any case, saw this recommended in the Shout podcast and I took a look.

The relevant part:

 

"22. I talked with a Bills source who told me Dalton Kincaid’s lack of production last year was because he was a lot more injured than folks realized. 'He’s gonna be a sleeper next year, trust me,' I was told. What about Amari Cooper, I asked? A shrug. 'He might be done.' The implication to me being that Cooper’s days as an elite WR1 might be over, not that he would be leaving Buffalo. I still expect that if anyone would be the focal point of the Bills’ passing offense, it would have to be Khalil Shakir."

cuz he didn’t do shart anything to improve himself from his rookie season. He better be working out now! Brass told him to githizazz in gear this offseason.
