The Quarterback Problem

 

Gladwell is really talking about hiring, not football, but I think it has some merit in this thread none-the-less.

The Quarterback Problem

 

Gladwell is really talking about hiring, not football, but I think it has some merit in this thread none-the-less.

This is a very good article that deserves some play somewhere on this board. Thanks for sharing (I honestly only got 3/4 of the way through so far).

 

Speaking of a QB problem: Mason Rudolph, my new found QB prospect love, will be playing hopefully within 10 minutes. The game against Baylor got delayed due to lightning so it's another interesting aspect to tonight's game.

Bills apparently met with Tom Coughlin but it's unclear if it was for a coaching or consultant role.

 

 

NO, THOSE ARE VOICES IN YOUR HEAD!

[WildCard]

Can't wait for the show that will come out when Rex is fired

Coughlin is old as dirt, but he's been successful with two organizations as a head coach and I tend to think he got submarined by poor (and some unlucky) personnel moves by Reese.

And he's from Waterloo.

Did you know he coached at RIT?

I didn't even know RIT had a football team :lol:

Undefeated since 1978!

Mason Rudolph hasn't looked "special" tonight, but he's playing pretty well. The coaching staff seems to be playing too conservative for my liking. They ran a delayed handoff on 3rd and 6 just now (got a facemask call that gave them a first).

 

Rudolph is 17 for 23 for 153 yards (no TDs or INTs). This should be some good film for him, though. He has hit the out route and comeback route to perfection like he always does. Still a few throws that were too high which has always been a thing for him, but a lot of those high throws were to guys going outside so it was "safe" and worked. The "knock" on his system has been that it just opens up for him to bomb it deep every other play but Baylor has forced him to play the short/medium game and he's doing so with success.

 

Tied at 21 mid-3rd against number 16 Baylor.

 

I know none of you care. Tom Coughlin is a bad idea.

It seems highly likely that once the bills are 2-6 or 1-7, Rex will get canned, along with Whaley and Brandon (hopefully), and Coughlin will come in as the new PLF in finding the right people to run the organization moving forward.

[Brawndo]

National Reporters(Schefter and Rapaport) stating that Watkins is confirmed as out for today's game.

[That Aud Smell]

Please let Coughlin be the Bills' football czar. Please.

[Eleven]

I'm not sure I'm bothering to watch today.

Brandon is not going anywhere.

Brandon is not going anywhere.

That'd be a shame.

 

Saw a national source tweet saying Ryan counting down his days.

If true, today's game is unlikely to stop the counting. Watkins AND Darby out? GET TO THE CHOPPA!

[Wyldnwoody44]

I'll be enjoying a day at the Columbus zoo, ill check my (almost assured) fantasy loss and scores.... But I think this one does get ugly quick

[Eleven]

That'd be a shame.

Who?

[nfreeman]

Brandon is not going anywhere.

Why not?

[Stoner]

Please let Coughlin be the Bills' football czar. Please.

Terry can work with him. And compare bowel habits.

[tom webster]

Why not?

Because he is as much entrenched at PS &E as Terry and Kim. He only leaves if it's for an even higher position within the NFL or something on par with that.

I've come to expect that Whakey may move on depending on whose brought in but still maintain that that will be a mistake and he will not be unemployed long. Sometimes it's just all about timing.

It has emerged that if Coughlin met with the Bills, the Pegulas were not involved. Kim was in Florida, and Terry in Pennsylvania, until late last night / early this morning, per WGR.

Cue the Whaley going rogue jokes.

[darksabre]

Bills gonna win today somehow, reviving the meme that they're better without Watkins.
