The board has the least faith in Shorter since Bernard. As I said with Bernard - let's see what happens! He has traits, he has challenges, none of us know how hard he worked (or not) to develop his game for the past year.

I have always kind of liked MVS and thought he had untapped upside - but how many of these guys can we collect? Going to be an interesting training camp.

Please - no one over 26 years old. Save our money and develop our guys. Josh has so many weapons - can't just look in the WR room. I'd rather get a good corner than another wideout, if we had to make a move. Our problem last year was defense.

I think Beane gets under-rated here sometimes - his long-term lock-ups have pretty much all been spot-on, marred only by injury (Tre White). But Josh, Milano, Dawkins, Power and Hyde in their prime, Oliver (a surprise to me) -- all great moves that have provided a ton of value and kept us competitive year-after-year-after-year (plus Josh's greatness, which he gets fair credit for projecting). And making hard choices on beloved players were all good calls as well (Singletary, Edmunds, Diggs, Horrible Harry). I think he is in a small handful of the very best GMs.

You're right on. I think this is one of his most impressive years. He got us much younger, and out of cap hell. People are fearful because there is change, but here is an optimistic view on the "slash and burn" -- Diggs gave us literally nothing for 2/3rds of a year and removing his persona hints at addition by subtraction; love Po, always, but Po looked slow; Feel so bad for Hyde, hope he retires before injured, but probably not worth his contract rate last year; Morse was one concussion away from being a cap albatross and always had trouble anchoring, and he always had trouble anchoring; Tre White was an all-time favorite for me, but performance year 1 after an achilles is typically poor; Gabe Davis - love the human, the player added little and contributed a lot to Josh's interceptions by not being "on the same page" with Josh; Jordan Phillips and Shaq Lawson - it was time. All along the past 2-3 years, we have injected impressive young talent. Cook, Torrence, Kincaid, Bernard, Benford and Brown. I was very skeptical at the time, but locking up Oliver was genius. I think we are a much better team right now than last year. It may take a bit to gel, but we are younger, stronger, faster, healthier and cheaper. This is a golden age of team management - probably the best ever - as well as on field performance. Judge me now, but save the post -- the on-field team in 2024 will be better than 2023 and 2022 teams (that 2021 team could have really won it though). I think we need one more year of reloading to optimize the roster, but we are a strong competitor for the Super Bowl right now. Staying healthy, rookie contributions and Von's hoped-for recovery will all be key. But give us a couple breaks and we can win it.

Boy, we stand to be so loaded with picks next year. Can even do a Douglas-type deal at the deadline to get some of what we need this if Beane wants with one of our fourth's (I know, NFL may screw us again).

Miss Tre' a lot - and have since the ACL save three games last year. Hope he comes back and kills it for LA, and works his way back to Buffalo to finish up at the end, sound and healthy.

All good here. Entirely reasonable for two fans to see a player differently. Go Bills!

You got your opinion I got mine - except you got no vision bro. Just a bowl of vitriol, a cup of vinegar where there should be sweetness, negativity that. drips. That ain't got no swag at all. You a one trick pony - and the trick is to pee on all the other ponies.

Would not hate getting Zay back at all. He is a professional wideout. I don't know if he fits the "process" - if Beane/McDermott concludes he does he would be a nice add, IMHO. I don't really hold the hotel dash against him - he was obviously going through some sh**. If he has his head right, he could be interesting add of a vet presence.

Nah man, you don't want him on the Jets. He can win if he has a top D. Be happy bruh.

Coleman going to be all that! I would not bet my house, but I would bet a lot.

He ain't like Mac Jones. Couldn't be much different. Jones has a noodle. McCarthy does not. And whether or not he is good, McCarthy got the dog in him, ex-hockey playing with a bit of nasty. Mac Jones = tennis player.

Maybe you're right, but I think he is good. No one really knows. But I remain glad the Jets didn't take him! When Rogers breaks they can roll with Tyrod instead of McCarthy. I'll take that!

I don't dislike RGIII at all. Seems like a good dude. But I thought it was so funny that RGIII was trying to bond with Coleman over being from Louisiana and Coleman was not having it. "Nah, you got all that French stuff - we a little more country out in Appaloosa, but we got some stuff too,." RGIII: I'll show you, you can get the best Poh Boy at a gas station. Coleman: Nah, our gas station got two pumps." 🤣

What do I know really, but the reviews I have read say he has a very powerful arm. That was on display in the games I watched. The criticism I read is that he throws everything hard, and sometimes lacks the desired touch.

Jets should have went hard for McCarthy. He was there for them. Instead they took a tackle to keep the Rogers dream alive. But McCarthy is probably good enough right now to win behind that defense. I watched him a lot at Michigan because I had a daughter there. Jets would have been like Michigan all over - very strong defense, do enough on offense to not screw it up and maybe even make some plays. Glad they took the tackle.

All this sturm and drang over a pick that Beane, Josh Allen and our scouts were obviously comfortable with from a bunch of arm-chair experts is exhausting. Give the man a chance. For me, he is the best wide-receiver drafted until he gives me reason to give up the dream. By definition, he has not yet done so. Let's go baby 20-0!

What you say about baseball is true in your baseball example. But it is not analogous or instructive here. If Coleman's gauntlet time was aided by the fact that he mistakenly went out of bounds, they would have thrown out the time and made him do it over. Like a false start in the 40 yard dash. Going out of bounds did not help his Gauntlet time. And the original poster did not suggest that it did - he was just deriding Coleman for making a mistake. The time he ran is his time. The mistake was perhaps a dumb mistake, but it didn't, couldn't, aid his time. They would never allow him to compare favorably to other prospects based on an inadvertent "cheat" like running full speed past second base even if it was an ineffective baseball move (because the runner would be out at second). They posted the combine time that Coleman earned, and that happened to be the fastest. There is no way around that.

Man, I have come full circle on this pick. Just watched the full interview the poster put up earlier. That kind of easy confidence from a 20 year-old strongly suggests to me he is going to be a star. Confidence like that comes from past performance and knowing what you can do. Focused, but not a care in the world. I think he is going to be a great pro, putting my stake in the ground today. And I hated the pick - maybe I was right then and wrong now, but I think he is a star in the league.

I think he also ran last in that or another drill. I love our Hardy pick - my daughter goes to Penn State so I watched him a lot. He runs a 4.38, I believe. Hits like a truck too. But I don't think the 5'9" Hardy would enjoy covering Coleman. Different courses for different horses -- seems people don't accept that.

Wow. Didn't know that. Thanks for posting!

This is a self-defeating argument my man. Guys that slow down to catch the ball are not as fast as their 40 time where the ain't gotta catch no nothing. Poster was not being a grumpy old man. As a grumpy old man I take some offense to that!

Cooper Kupp Correction of my self - THE fastest gauntlet time in two years. Second fastest go route. No one jogs in the gauntlet - speed is a core point of the drill.

Exactly. See my immediately prior post. Samuel is juxtaposed with Coleman in our scheme. We have a true speedster there, and Shakir is a 4.4 player. Adding Coleman allows us to not be bullied by press corners in the playoffs (something that consistently happened to Diggs). As corners get smaller to keep up with the speed of guys like Worthy, Coleman becomes more valuable -- in general and to us in particular. We didn't have that big, physical wideout before. Same here, I was so bummed when we took Coleman. A cooling off period and rational examination of facts and video has made me more than happy to give the young man a chance with an open mind and a hopeful heart! Go Keon!
