Really happy all those former panthers coaches and front office staff in Buffalo are doing well

So we're not the only team that does that. 

I think there are very few coaches that can resist using true freak shows.  

a couple RBs fumbled early in the game too.  So they went with the sure thing.

Do you think it’s possible for Rhule and his staff to put players on this roster in positions that make it harder for them to succeed?

Of course. We've heard the whispers of him micromanaging. I hope we turn things around this season though. I would rather see him succeed than us fail and continue to tumble. But I don't think the odds of a sudden turnaround are all that great either.

I’ve seen evidence with this coaching staff (for me offensive line most apparently) but also every staff we have had, of players being used out of position and/or in a way that makes it hard for them to succeed. It’s easy to see this because Rhule and co had 10 wins in two years. 
 

Because of this, I apply that reasoning to these players we pick up from shitty teams, but were valuable players on draft day. 
 

It’s possible another staff simply didn’t develop or use them well. (Maybe the jags guys)
 

It’s also possible they weren’t as good as they draft stock. (Obviously Sam)

 

Thats all I’m saying. 
 

I get and respect your opinion too though.

I think he is a lifer Defensive Coordinator, not a true head coach. 

Rivera and Fox are about the same, but If I had to choose between those two, I would probably go Fox because he at least gave a damn about the oline.

Yeah. I enjoyed the game. Buffalo looks really good. Especially their defensive front. 

As far as using your studs, that is what they are for. You don't pay them money to put the on the shelf no matter how capable the backups are.

Yeah, I was never a don’t run Cam guy.  That was the condition I had of drafting him.  Run him and let him be special…..and accept he won’t have a long pocket passer career. 

And while I don’t want CMC playing preseason ball, we paid him a freak a poo ton of money.  CMC should get an absurd amount of touches.    No point paying a RB and not using him heavily.   I generally prefer not paying RBs but what is done is done.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
