C.Biscuit97 Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I think the Bills philosophy is to keep sailing the ship straight. Find every way to avoid making major changes and hope the team does well enough, meaning 8-8 or better in 09, to keep the front office the same until RW passes. Ralph is 90, and the Bills haven't made an administrative change since Donahoe was fired. I'd argue the Brandon era is an extension of Levy's tenure as GM. Modrak, Guy, Overdorf, Brandon, and the man behind everything Littman are still running the show. Jauron is still the HC, despite the fact that 31 other teams would have fired him by now. Well except the Titans and Patriots, who kept coaches that had 3 straight non-winnings seasons. But you're right. Many teams would have been playoff bound after being forced to start a QB that may go from 1st rounder to out of the league in 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny you should show up to defend the Bills philosophy. Their record these past three seasons is worth backing, isn't it? At this point, I've got to believe you're an employee of the team. The point to all of this is simple: Buffalo hasn't won enough to say their way of doing things is a practical example of managing a front office. As for teams who keep coaches, who did the Patriots keep with 3 straight losing seasons? And the Titans? Referencing (I believe) Jeff Fisher's record more than a decade ago is a poor comparison. But don't let that absurd analogy get in the way. He only went to the SB by his fifth full season in the league. In DJ's fifth full season his record stood at 35-45. I suppose the next thing you'll say is because I haven't been the GM of a pro football team that I don't have any room to complain. Being forced to start a first round QB? That's downright hilarious. No less than 15 other teams in the league are "forced" to start former first rounders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
