....with Tom Donahoe. While his years were not perfect, the years brought hope and a legit plan to be competitive in the league. The players he brought in, for the most part, are in the league still. Many are still exceptional players.
At the very least, the hot stove was entertaining.
Mike Mularkey has been a great mentor to Matt Ryan. Gregg Williams is a win from going to the Super Bowl as a D.C. A D.C. that revitalized a poor defense.
Everyone will point to Mike Williams, J.P. Losman and I am sure you can come up with others. However, he hit on way more than he missed. He drafted well, traded well, let go of players that were on the downslide, sign FA's that produced and unearthed talent that nobody wanted...Jason Peters and Jabari Greer.
The problem with Donahoe had nothing to do with him, it was the OWNER. I have said it for years and now with what is happening today, it proves the criticism of the owner is justified.
I will take heat for the post, but I think history will remember Donahoe better as time goes on.
If he would have allowed the money to re-sign the likes of Pat Williams and Peerless Price, perhaps the Bills would not be the Lions of the AFC.
