Turn off the Lamp (Forrest)

[Bolt4Knob]

I have long thought the last two coaching staffs did not do a good job developing young players and that speaks much more towards TT and Spanii's coaching selection rather than player selection.

You also have to factor in the new offensive, defensive and ST schemes we will be running and some of the players let go simply may not be good fits for what the new coaching wants to do.

I hope with Staley and this staff there is better communication on what type of player to draft and how to use that player. I know Lynn liked Kenneth Murray but did Gus Bradley use him correctly. Were they trying to make him Bobby Wagner when he was more KJ Wright - for example. Lynn I think also liked Josh Kelley.

Again my hope is STaley has a clue who he likes for the scheme and not just they are good football players

I do not like Lynn

Is it possible that Lamp becomes a good starter with the Bills ?

Or possibly Allen's nightmare?

I remember that draft over at the CMB and everyone was pretty pumped with Lamp and Feeney. I remember I was..........oh well expectations not met.......I blame Lynn.

One of my favorite forum subjects is armchair GM's. I think Rich is spot on. The whole Lynn staff was garbage.

Like drafting is an easy thing. It's all a crap shoot when you factor in injuries and development at the next level. Case and point the GOAT was taken in the 6th....

I was okay with the Feeney selection, but I thought Lamp was over bit over drafted. And I also think that the injury really set him back. I was in favor of resign both. And I thought since Lamp finally played all 16 last year it was sort of like his rookie year in a way.

I did think Dion Dawkins was a higher rated player than Lamp in that draft and he didn't go until bottom of Rd 2.
Dawkins has started 59 games at left tackle and last 3 season all 16 games.

So I think it's a combo of bad luck, some over drafted picks but then also not resign them that adds up to failed draft for Telesco.

And when I say over drafted, I also mean Mager and Pipkins. As well as other over Telesco time as GM.

He just ran into a really bad situation here:

Small school guy, making transition to new position on opposite side of line under tutelage of marginal oline coach;
gets a major injury that failed to heal properly requiring 2nd surgery;
team couldn't ease him back in due to playoff run;
finally starts & incurs freak injury in 2nd game due to someone rolling up on him from behind;
starts again his final season between inexperienced LT, inexperienced center & inexperienced signal caller.

Lynn said that he would have made a big difference in 2017 if he didn't get injured. I guess we will never know
what went wrong.

The Chargers organization is second rate. Let’s face it

What a disaster. Mike Williams is the only hope.

Lamp was good until he broke.

Lamp fell on the floor and never recovered!

Lamp will probably be a pro bowler for the Bills

If so, it answers the question if it is TT or coaching staff that fails to develop talent.
