Athletes in all sports get better over the years. Sure, they were different eras, but you can't deny that everyone gets bigger and faster and stronger and smarter as time goes by.
AR has a qb rating 11 points higher than #2 and his career tds to int's is almost twice as good as the next guy's.
Considering that TC made pro bowlers out of Elvis Grbac, Kordell Stewart and Tommy Maddox, turned Drew Bledsoe into the only Bills qb since Flutie to lead the team to a winning season and resurrected Bret Favre's career, AR could very easily wind up being considered the best of all time after he's through.
And Ralph fired TC, the guy that also might go down as the greatest qb coach in history because he wouldn't get with the JP Losman program.

The whole situation can be defused if the Bills just let Kelly Holcomb lead the charge out of the tunnel on Sunday and Holcomb sends Shiva an autographed jockstrap.
Lehner's history. He just doesn't know it yet.

It's like listening to my grandfather go on about the Kaiser.

Our offense may actually look good considering how pitiful that defense of theirs is.
Sure, they will rub it in. Because that will teach Ralph!
But, IF they're in the mood to send someone the message, the Losmaniacs would be the most likely target, don't you think?
I can see them starting to form their excuses already.
Sorry, but this isn't the case.
When the season was over, Ralph told Mularkey that he wouldn't fire him if Mularkey would fire Tom Clements. Mularkey, being the weakling he was, knuckled under and fired Clements. Then, a couple of days later, he had a change of heart (feeling guilty about throwing his right-hand man under the bus) and resigned, citing people in the city being mean to his kids.
It was Donahoe and Ralph who decided to lowball Bledsoe to force him out and install Losman, who'd only playe 5 downs in his rookie season, as the starter. Mularkey went along with it, but Clements was against it. It was when Eric Moulds went a begged ralph to let them sit Losman a second time that Ralph went nuts and decided Clements was the bad guy.
Well, take a look at Clements resume with qbs and take a look at Ralph's.
And three years later, Losman was playing in Las Vegas.
