With All Due Respect...
I lurk around here on a daily basis. I used to post somewhat but now I just can't see the points in some of these threads. People bashing each other because of their opinions. Not good. For those of you who remember WYS, at least he had a point and could carry an arguement without slamming the posters. Even if he was long and drawn out in his 10 rants about a single player/coach. I almost miss the guy. Look, you can tell me to jump ship and go to another board if you want, but I won't as a lot of you show a lot of knowledge about Bills football and can have some fun at the same time. I think the mods to a fantastic job here as well
I just want to touch on two things here (outside of the OL scenario)
I don't know about you but I dont want to become another Washington who signs every big name FA under the sun and still at the end of the season wind up in the same spot as us.Watching the SB from the stands. Marv knows team chemistry, Marv knows that it takes more than just a big name(s) to win in this league. Granted, the game has changed since the 90's but, 49er fans will argue, we DOMINATED the 90's under Marv and Polian's stewardship (minus the rings of course). Marv is a highly intelligent man and dont think for a second that he will not attempt to emulate Polian's style as a GM and pass some of his HC mentality to DJ. Although I consider DJ a gutsy call as a HC, Marv, like Jauron did not really accomplish anything as a HC prior to becoming our HC. So only time will tell for DJ.
As far as our QB situation goes. in this day and age, it is anyone's guess. Holcomb, perennial journeyman could be the next Rich Gannon or Brad Johnson (not stellar but both have been to the SB), Craig Nall could be the next Delhomme, Warner or he could be just as good as Frank Reich (not a solid starter but can come in and win games) JP, the next Flutie with his physical abilities? the next Jim Kelly with his swagger? or the next Heath Shuler? Still too early to tell. IMO, MM did not give JP a chance to take his lumps and use that motivation to get him ready for the next contest, our defense could not stop anybody. Faults to all (minus special teams) on last year's debacle, not just JP although he is deserving of some parts of it but certainly not all of it and don't think for a second that this kid with all of his swagger did not take his demotion to heart. The question is will he use that to better himself for this team or let it get the best of him.
Anyway, that's it. Thanks.
