Black Monday 2026: Raheem Morris Sacked

[JimmyinSD]

A Pro Bowl selection is a bit of a joke when it comes to QBs, considering how many are elected as replacement players due to injuries (Mahomes, Allen, Jackson, Nix) and continuing play (Maye). And since fans vote on it, it will obviously never be as meaningful as an All Pro selection. Still, a Pro Bowl selection represents a level of achievement for NFL players that is well-represented in contracts and bonuses, so it can't be dismissed entirely. Even comp picks are dialed in by Pro Bowl selections. For example, if Daniel Jones had stayed healthy and was elected to the Pro Bowl, our comp pick would've been much higher.

i simply mean when 2 people ( more often than not you and I   ) disagree on a players worth or skill level,  and somebody throws out that he was a probowler,  its kind of meaningless anymore IMO,  but I agree in the context of bonuses and picks ( wasnt aware of that connection)

Looks like Joe Brady being elevated to HC in Buffalo. Cross off another open position.

Could this impact Joe Burrow? 

From SI: Brady is a big reason why Burrow's career took off in his second season at LSU. He was the passing game coordinator and wide receivers coach for the Tigers during their 15-0 season in 2019. Both Burrow and Chase became stars that season.

"Joe and I go way back, way back at this point," Burrow said last month. "He was great for my career. We did some fun things together. We’ve got a great relationship. I look forward to seeing him and talking to him."

The Buffalo Bills stayed in-house by promoting offensive coordinator Joe Brady as their new head coach on Tuesday, in a move that provides continuity to a Josh Allen-led perennial winner that has accomplished everything short of reaching a Super Bowl.

The team announced the five-year deal.

The 36-year-old Brady just completed his fourth season in Buffalo and his second full season as coordinator. He previously served as quarterbacks coach before taking over the offense after Ken Dorsey was fired midway through the 2023 season.

Brady’s promotion came a little more than a week after Sean McDermott was fired following a nine-year tenure.

He has no previous head coaching experience over eight NFL seasons. Brady broke into the league with the New Orleans Saints by spending two seasons as an offensive assistant under Sean Payton. He left the Saints to serve as passing game coordinator on LSU’s 2019 national championship team.

Considered an up-and-coming head coaching candidate, Brady returned to the NFL by taking over as the Carolina Panthers offensive coordinator before being fired late into the 2021 season.

Brady shared a bond with McDermott, as both played college at William & Mary. Brady played receiver and upon graduating in 2012, he took on a role with the Tribe as linebackers coach.

Brady was the first to interview for the Bills job in a search that began on Jan. 21. Aside from Buffalo, Brady also interviewed for five other NFL openings, including still-existing vacancies in Arizona and Las Vegas.

Buffalo eventually met with nine candidates in an interview process led by general manager Brandon Beane that included Allen. Buffalo was the 10th and final team to have a coaching vacancy, and missed out on interviewing John Harbaugh, who was hired by the New York Giants.

Among the candidates were former Giants coach Brian Daboll, who was Buffalo’s offensive coordinator before landing the job in New York. The Bills also interviewed Jacksonville offensive coordinator Grant Udinski and 44-year-old quarterback Philip Rivers, who removed his name from consideration three days after meeting with Buffalo.
