You can talk about all the coaching changes you want, but without players, no one is going to win here and no coach would want to come here.
Much is made of the Bills missing the playoff last 13 years. I ask this question: how many super stars we have on the Bills the last 13 years? Take one step back, how many stars we have during that time.
The last time we were in the playoff, this team still had Bruce Smith. When the Pats made the superbowls, they had Brady, Seymour, etc. Steelers have Ben, Polamalu, the Giants have Eli, and a string of DE superstars. The Bills by my count have 0 during this time.
That, my friend, is the difference. The front office is that bad from Donahoe era on down.
Nix starts to get some solid players on board. But so far he hasn't hit a homerun on star/superstar category (maybe Spiller can be counted as 1/2 superstar, pending his development from here on). I'd not put Mario on the superstar category because he is not (or the Texans would not let him go) despite being paid as much because it's only way for the Bills to get him.
