Or the $200 haircut.
That's great that Bill is saying that. There is only one issue with that....Andy is not capable of going beyond his limits. Which is why it is hard to win with him. They rained him in years ago with short passes because when they tried to give him the throws that the elite QBs can make he struggles. Which is why its hard to win with average Andy. So good luck with that Bill. And I love how Bill is basically saying Andy is limited. pretty funny!!

If that thing cost $200 he is getting ripped off
That's not hard to cut or shape at all. Just a basic skin fade with lots of texture and length on top, texturize the front with a razor. Blow dry and style with a hair clay or pomade. Shouldn't cost more than $20

Maybe he can have Andy practice throwing a deep ball and it landing, if not in his WR's arms, at least...in the field of play? Maybe?
Can we start there?

But if a floating deep ball lands in play the percentage of it getting picked off increases... How much exactly?

I'm not anti-Andy, but trying to 'push him to his limits' doesn't seem like it's going to fix the issues with his game. It's like Marvin Lewis said "Hey, Lazerbeam, come up with a retread of 'We've got to do things better' and you can handle any post game."
Throwing passes 20 yards downfield is not going to go beyond Daltons limits it will help Dalton lose the nickname checkdown Andy.

Maybe we can change the playbook of the last three OC and have routes not tiptoe right next to the sideline and bring the route a few yards inbounds so the WR can adjust to the throw and the QB does not have to make a perfect throw to keep it inbound.

We did see a lot of that this year, but I don't recall a lot of his deep passes going oob before.
Alas the anti-Andy "fans" have taken Lazor's remark and twisted it into some sort of statement that Andy is not a good QB. Lest we forget in the same conference both he and Lewis noted the problems the poor pass blocking caused. Believe it or not, it is part of any good coaching program to push ANY QB no matter who they are and make them uncomfortable at times.
Put this remark together with Lazor's playbook remarks (feels like it was the product of three OCs) and I think a more likely understanding is he wants to stop the micromanagement of the offense on the field - more up tempo and maybe even let Andy call the plays more. Only time will tell.
So he wants Andy to perform like a good QB in prime time and playoff games.
I'm starting to like Lazor.

True. Fixing the line will already give you a guy that can compete at a top 10 level. The kind of practice Dalton needs is effectively moving around in the pocket to buy a second or two to find an open receiver and not jetting out for the sidelines and throwing the ball away 95 percent of the time as soon as there's a little bit of pressure.
Of course, that entails teaching the WRs how put some effort into finding some holes in the defense to get open when their route is done and the QB has to extend a play.

Was Kenny so delicate and distraught that he collapsed into the fetal position the rest of the season? Nope, he got back on the horse and road it all the way to Pontiac. Wished to hell Marvin would have tried that with Andy...oh....any of the numerous times he's stunk up the joint over the years. No one should be above being yanked from a game, ever.
Eh. That approach almost cost the Bills their playoff spot this year. Don't think that head games are necessary for the type of personality that Dalton has.
I was hoping for a new QB all together.
At this point with Marvin back i'm not sure whether that would even make a big difference. This franchise is f'd.

All that? I thought it was Something simple like some clippers, a shop-vac and a cup of Afro sheen?

Pretty much. I just jazzed up the process to make it sound like I know what I'm talking about
But really, it's a basic men's haircut that Andy could easily get at a supercuts. I know he's worth millions but still, if he's paying $200 a month for that he needs to be smacked upside the head.

Exactly, EVERYONE could use some work on this offense. QB, line, and WRs. One thing that irked me is the lack of WRs coming back to the QB when he scrambles out of the pocket. Lots of times, you see them just sitting in their routes. Break the route off and come back toward the LOS FFS!
