Josh in 14 games under Brady: - 61% completion percentage - 217 passing yards per game - 7.1 yards per attempt - 22 TDs - 7 interceptions - 93.4 passer rating - 2 games with over 300 passing yards but 6 with less than 200

Obviously Brady wanted him but has no idea how to get him the ball unless it's a WR screen.

Meh. He's ok. I certainly don't think he's some guru that others make him out to be. When it comes to the draft, he does better on day 3 than days 1 or 2 which has been so problematic for this team. His use of resources in the draft is questionable. Drafting Kincaid after paying Knox big money. Drafting Moss in the 4th a year after drafting Singletary in the 3rd, then drafting Cook 2 years later in the 2nd and Davis in the 4th a year after that. In a matter of 5 years, Beane has used a 2nd, 3rd and two 4th round picks on RBs! Doubling down on DE and drafting Boogie Basham, who had zero high impact NFL qualities, in the 2nd round after drafting Groot in the 1st. The money he hands out seems like it goes to mediocre players more than game changers. Trent Murphy, Star, Settle, Samuel, Quinton Jefferson, Epenesa etc. Then there's all the restructures that kicks the cap hit down the road and you're left with a cap situation that sucks and leaves minimal room to make moves. Beane absolutely hit a home run with Josh but his ability to keep weapons around him has been mediocre. Beane is the person that wins the lottery, doesn't know how to manage the wealth and goes broke within a few years and that's how I feel this roster has been managed.

The difference in the way the NFL and NHL handle concusions is night and day.

Remain a competitive team with questionable talent at QB.

Crazy how the Steelers do this every year

The problem is we don't have enough talent around Josh to help him along the way.

Beane loves giving money to guys who don't positively impact games for us. It's why we are in cap hell. Samuel is going to make over 9 mil next year too and there's no relief for cutting him either. Money well spent so far

Our salary cap situation isn't much better next year either.

We're likely stuck with what we have at this point unless Beane goes and gets Amare Cooper. His contract seems like it would be the easiest to manage. And Brady is probably here for the long haul too. It's not as though we have some young up and comer on this staff waiting to replace him. I don't think McD should survive firing another OC either. We have talent issues and salary cap issues. This is the mess that McD and Beane built and this kind of mismanagement gets people fired when things go poorly.

Unless we trade for a WR who can actually win outside we're going to struggle a lot on offense

About to waste the time years of Allen's career. Don't worry though, QBs like him are easy to find.

We can't even get 1 TE going, much less 2

We're supposed to be a team competing for a SB and not some lowly team just happy to be in the hunt. The way this roster is constructed there is zero chance we are going far in the playoffs.

Watching this offense struggle was so predictable. It didn't take long for defenses to adjust and now our weaknesses are exposed. I know people put Beane on some pedestal as some elite GM but what he's put around Josh is unbelievably bad. Our cap situation is also terrible because of the contracts and restructures he's responsible for. If it weren't for Josh, him and McD would've been fired years ago. Instead they are just going to waste the best years of his career. I'm losing so much patience at this point.

He was very noticeable today. More than Ed has been all year it seemed.

I thought his contract would only make sense if his usage increased and he maintained his TD production. Then Beane drafted Kincaid in the 1st and Knox has become an afterthought. Paying Knox and then immediately drafting his replacement was such a horrible use of resources by Beane.

How does anyone look at this offense right now and assume we're going to be just fine?

This thread is going to be electric this week

Knox makes a lot of money to do cardio every week. Another brilliant Beane contract handed out.

I don't fault our defense. They did everything they could and gave us chances. The fault lies on Beane for the weapons, or lack thereof, he put around Josh and for Brady for being a predictable and unimaginative play caller.

I hate everything about our passing game

Hollins can't track the ball to save his life

We already knew that

Brady looking at all his run plays and licking his lips
