Message: [QUOTE="Stern, post: 1880510, member: 527"] Buffalo's problems go back long before Rex got there, but Rex has thrown gasoline on them and is burning the franchise down in epic fashion... -2013 they draft EJ Manuel in Rd 1. Just a horrible mistake -2014 they trade UP to take Sammy Watkins (give up a future 1st round pick to do it) when they could have stayed where they were and just took Odell Beckham. Watkins is never healthy and Beckham is off to an amazing career and one of the 3 best WR's in the game today. When all is said and done this will go down as one of the worst trades in NFL Draft history. -2016 (and this one is on Rex the above two aren't) the Bills draft Shaq Lawson (who had red flags everywhere cause of a bum shoulder) and of course he doesn't make it out of mini-camp let alone even get to training camp and misses his rookie year On top of all of that, you have a head coach in Marrone who had the team moving in the right direction and just up and leaves. Granted he saw new ownership and they probably were going to fire him (hell word is it was the owners wife who wanted Roman gone today and she got her way.) So Doug was in a tough spot, wait and get fired or leave and take the $$$. But its rare you see someone quit being an NFL head coach...but Buffalo got lucky and found the guy who did just that. But everything leading up to this dumpster fire that is Rex Ryan in Buffalo ...most of the groundwork was in place long before got there. He just walked into a crappy situation and is making it worse. You have numerous players on this years team being suspended. You had to cut your young up and coming RB due to weight issues. And it's going to get worse before it gets better, in the offseason at the end of this year, when Buffalo is trying to find their next head coach they are going to have worlds of trouble landing someone good. They are going to end up with your typical retread NFL head coach or will have to take a flyer on an assistant who will work cheap and just wants to be a head coach so will jump at the opportunity. No big-time candidate or a proven candidate will consider the Bills as the ownership is weak and clueless and the situation is an utter mess from top to bottom within the organization and the roster.
