Serious question, as I don't know the answer: was all this bad stuff about Daboll's supposedly toxic personality known when he was in Buffalo? If so, how come Josh Allen has said such great things about him, and why would Joe Schoen, who clearly had extensive internal visibility in Buffalo, make a big bet on him by hiring him?
And if not, then why would a previously well-behaved, well liked guy suddenly become this toxic, bad guy?
I'm struggling to add all this up.

I didn't mean to imply he had a hand in where he was going, but he may have sabotaged a situation or two. He needs a step back. I don't know if he can be a good QB but I think the situation is good for him.
Quote from: DaveBrown74 on March 18, 2024, 06:30:15 PMThis makes sense in theory, but it might be tricky in practice.
Personally, if I were Daboll, I would lean heavily on Bricillo's input on this subject. If Bricillo told me at the end of August that, based on what he has seen in camp and the preseason, he thinks Eleumenor is the better RT right now and gives us the best chance to win, I would not usurp him and force him to go with Neal because my boss and I had an agenda of trying to make a failed draft pick work. I would definitely go with whoever I thought helped give the team the best chance to win, including in week one.
If Neal wants to keep starting at RT for this team, I don't think expecting him to beat out a FA OT we brought in for $7mm a year (low for that position) is asking a lot of a third year player.

Quote from: Giant Obsession on March 18, 2024, 10:06:20 PMGood question.
An even better question is why after such a short time does he want to go back to coaching on the college level.
Hmmmm.
I have my thoughts BUT I am a very big believer that our HC can only portray a personality for the reporters and public but for so long, and then his real personality takes over. But hey, those are just my thoughts from the outside looking in.
