1 – McDermott doesn’t wait to address deficiencies
As we’ve already seen more than once, when Buffalo’s head coach spots a deficiency affecting his team’s performance he addresses it. He and GM Brandon Beane have made a number of roster decisions when performance hasn’t been at a level he deems necessary.
That’s why Marcell Dareus was traded. Sure, his salary didn’t match the results they were getting from him on the field, but money was much lower on the list than how his quality of play was impacting the team.
At a position like quarterback a lack of production is even more pronounced because it impacts everyone else on the offensive side of the ball.
