Watch Sams throws from his back foot. Jets missed again! So swap the two guys right now. Jets drafted Allen, Bills got Sam, everything else stays the same. Are we 4-0? Are Buffalo 0-4? I don't buy either outcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gladwell's Outliers and David and Goliath are good reads there. A few pointed questions can help determine who the outliers are. I'm not certain that I'm all that much of an outlier in this case, however. I have to believe there are others like me with that particular characteristic I described. I've read them both. Also, Tipping Point is great. But another quote I like is "1,000 workers, when polled, 90 percent said they were above average and were ambitious.

Their Insistence of the GM and HC reporting to ownership stinks. This is the cornerstone of the failure. Lots of teams have the same structure.

jacarter220 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 14 hours ago, jeremy2020 said: I'm not sure that is as true as people make it out to be. Allen is a gamer. The guy fought and clawed at each level to get recognized and when he was, all he did was improve and impress. He's one of those guys that would lose an arm if it meant he could win a Superbowl. He's simply willed the Bills to some wins (most 4th quarter comebacks in the league). He attacks his flaws. He said last season the deep ball would not be a problem anymore and he he looks to have fixed it. His footwork looks to be much improved and guys like Jordan Palmer talk about how coachable he is that he's not one of those guys that shows up during the day, does what you tell them, but then as soon as you're not there goes back to his old way of doing it. He desperately wants to be better and he soaks it up. It's not a surprise that he and Jackson look like the two best QB in that draft. They're both the biggest gamers. Sam didn't have a chance with this organization, but pretending that Allen doesn't seem way more driven than Sam is doesn't seem accurate either. Oh there's no doubt about it. I'll be honest, I'm a Bills fan. The one thing that I've said from his first NFL snaps was this. As corny as it sounds, he has the most competitive fire of any QB I've ever seen. His will to win at any cost is incredible, and you're right - that's definitely not a quality where Sam is anywhere remotely close to him. He's incredibly driven. But again - the minimal coaching that Darnold has received in NY would have been a career-ender because Sam at least came in "pro-ready" from a "pro-style" offense at USC. Josh was so raw, but a lot of people recognized the talent and the potential ceiling. Even as a Bills fan and a Josh Allen fan - I don't think any of us Bills fans thought his ceiling could be as high as it has been through these first four weeks. And that just back to his competitiveness and his drive to be the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They beat the awful Jets by ten, but then squeaked by the Dolphins and Rams by three points each, then the Raiders by seven. They’re going to run into a wall if/when they play the Titans and Chiefs the next two weeks Unless you are rooting for an Adam Gase coached team, the NFL is league of close games - The largest margin of victory yesterday was 14 points. The Bills are good and Allen is playing as well as any QB in the league. Their defense isn't as good as it was last year, but their offense looks 10 times better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a BAD football team that will need 2-3 years of good drafting. Your comment is true IF you don't draft as bad as we have for 7 years. Buffalo did not, and that is why when they got Josh Allen and then took a year to surround him with some good players, it didn't take them very long. We are going to need about 2 more years to be where we want to be, which is why Trevor Lawrence might not be out of the picture. That way, Joe Douglas has HIS QB and will surround him with the players HE needs. It would also help if ownership stopped repeating one of the dumbest mistakes in the NFL: hiring a GM who doesn't hire his own coach, and each reports separately to the owner. Perhaps that will change once Gase is gone. I have been hearing we are 2-3 years out since 2010. Drafting alone will not work. Our picks this year are making zero contribution for example Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RocketBills Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 2 hours ago, SAR I said: Good post, I agree with it all. Just one word of caution: We Jets fans aren't expert at much, but we know when a team has really turned a corner and when it hasn't. We have witnessed four or five versions of Jets teams since the 90's that looked like they were ascending but, in fact, were just a mirage. You've got 3 classes of teams in the NFL- Bottom Feeders, Average Hovers, and Elites. It's easy to see, and to get excited about, a team that moves from Bottom Feeder to Average Hover, they start winning the games they should and come close in the games they shouldn't. Just good enough to get you confident against the scrubs but crush you like a grape against the better teams. Herman Edwards was the King of Average Hover. Every year we would beat every scrub on the schedule (except for one crushing loss) and lose to every elite on the schedule (except one shocking win). And we'd go into the playoffs and get our asses handed to us, a reminder that we weren't really a playoff team just yet. Beating winning teams consistently is the benchmark. That's how you know you've really turned the corner. SAR I That makes a lot of sense and I know the feeling. Question. Seems like it was around 2005 or 2006. I remember that Herm was the head coach and Pennington was the QB. Seems like the Jets made the playoffs off the play of a good defense and a decent but streaky offense. Beat the Chargers in the 1st round and lost to the Steelers in overtime the next round if memory serves me correctly. Did you enjoy that season and those years as much as when you had Sanchez and that vaunted defense that looked like it was on the verge of becoming a perineal top 5-10 team in the league? Who is remembered more fondly in Jets land. Pennington or Sanchez? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people think they're above average at most things. That isn't exclusive to work. But of course you're correct that this always skews our thinking. To extend this out, however: Employers need to check their biases, too. I'm sure most or nearly all employers think they're above average at identifying and hiring talent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Embrace the Suck Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 How long have the Bills been drafting high? The difference is they have made far better use of their draft picks and cap dollars. They didn't do it overnight (1 or 2 offseasons) and they have suffered to get there. You'll notice they don't have star players at almost exclusively at low impact positions.
