Mr. WEO

when you don’t swing the bat on a position of need, that’s a failure of evaluation of the first order—pretty simple. It also means he couldn’t recognize it was a problem Look at the receivers passed on over the years. Now, 7 years into his stewardship we have a declining Diggs, Davis likely gone, and Shakir. It’s a disaster the obvious difference between Beane and BB is that his struggle drafting WRs had no impact on the teams 20 year dynasty

Davis isn’t a WR1. Davis was a decent 2 (despite the sentiment here). Shakir is a complimentary guy. 2 decent picks in 7 years I guess. the need is in the top spot.

yeah Belichicks legacy will be “couldn’t evaluate WRs” lol the point was he never prioritized a position of need (WR)….

two guys. 7 years

You’ve reiterated my point

I'm a fan of Gabe, but he's probably gone. Shakir is decent WR3 material. But...so what?

https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10107817-nfl-rumors-ben-johnson-saw-commanders-execs-as-basketball-guys-was-turned-off this is how you get Dan Quinn

he's shown no aptitude for evaluating WR talent.

That's because 2/3 of those in Jax don't have indoor plumbing---so they get confused at the stadium.

meanwhile....lol: https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/raiders-to-hire-marvin-lewis-as-assistant-head-coach/ar-BB1hDBxh

When has he done that in his tenure as Bills GM?

I think he's pretty good, but he won't last long in then NFL. He's very breakable. Doug Whaley has already claimed Hartman has "that It Factor"...

Yeah, what you really want is a guy in his 30's with 1 or 2 years experience as a Coordinator...

Tre was the best DB the Bills had for his first 5 seasons (playing with Poyer and Hyde). Butch Byrd goes up before these 2 guys Byrd, Kyle for sure.

Neither is even the best DB the franchise has had.

as the only representatives over the past 25 years?

No. The last Bills put up there stopped playing 25 years ago. They aren't the 2 best players to wear the uniform since...

I'm not. Just trying to help you with this very simple concept. Contracts are currently worth 10 billion a year.

Hill is long gone--back to back SB appearances without him. Kelce is having his worst year since 2015. Had the Bears taken Mahomes instead of Trubisky, there would be no talk of Reid and the HOF.

The NFL dominates all other sports leagues because it craves (and gets) attention that guarantees that it is top of the sports news cycle year round---good press or bad (anyone remember "CTE"?), doesn't matter. And.....one more time: the broadcast revenue is fixed in the contracts that are locked for 10 more years. Any extra revenue comes from merchandise, sponsorships (gambling, booze, tech--any number of "the Official (x) of the NFL" stuff) and of course, the team owners make extra money from tickets sales and merch. Panning to Taylor Swift during 1 game a week for 1 season brings no extra revenue to the streams I listed. It's just another layer of pop culture dominance the NFL enjoys that NBA, MLB and NHL can only dream of. Let it go, she can't hurt you...

Well, his successes have come when he was a DC, not as (defensive) HC. He's replacing another former DC, also a guy "with a ring", who also got a team to the SB--then crashed and burned it and got fired, who was also on his 2nd HC stint despite all of that......and failed miserably. And... Quinn is going into the most unfavorable situation possible for a previously failed HC--he has no QB, a terrible run game, the worst passing game in the NFL ,the Defense is the worst in the NFL. He has 1 player who is a legit threat (McLaurin). Remember when Joe Schoen "helped Beane build the Bills"? How's that working out for the Giants? The current 49ers were built by Lynch and Shanahan---this is accepted fact everywhere. If Peters learned something while under their employ--great. But there's no reason to assume that this will make him fit to overhaul the roster of a bad team with a culture of losing--despite a new owner (ask Carolina how that's going).

No it's all good. Maybe showing Taylor Swift a lot this season will bring in Taylor Swift viewers for this one time SB that they otherwise would not watch. But then what? When Swift and Kelce are not a couple next year? Again, if zero people viewed this SB or if all 7+ billion earthlings tuned in--it matters not to the NFL. They sold this SB to CBS 2 years ago. They can't get more money for the broadcast after it's already paid for---no matter how many watch it. 10 years from now, when the network/streaming contracts are up for renewal, we will know the effect of Kelce/Swift from 10 years prior. My guess is that it will not have an impact 10 years from now on the pricing/bids.

he just needs to fit them up...

He was in Seattle for a cup of coffee. He parlayed that 2 years into a HC job, got to the SB, orchestrated a legendary Defensive flop and then sunk the franchise. His Cowboys Defense gave up 48 points to Love's Packers. Before that, his team was bounced by the 49ers 2 years in a row (Garoppolo, Purdy). Lots of guys have rings. Belichick has 8. He's unemployed. Quinn was not the Commanders 1st choice obviously. John Lynch built the 49ers.

She made a billion on her tour in a year--we all can understand how "big" that is. This one SB's rating still has no impact on NFL overall revenue. The game was paid for 2 years ago. None of this matters.
