I like the idea of Ross for one of our 4ths or 5ths. He would fit well with Allen.

I saw a clip of McDermott watching his workout:

He’s a guy. The Bills have a need at TE. Allen doesn’t do anything for me but if they want a warm body, fine. He’s Lee Smith

That was my initial thought but then I was thinking he’s too old to solve the issue there.

I didn’t listen to it but was he talking “free agency” specifically? The first thing that I thought was a trade. Maybe some team with cap constraints would deal a guy to help them dig out?

Metcalf is a RIDICULOUS athlete. Is he good at football? I have no idea. I’m neither in or out on him but the only thing that I’ll say is Beane went high ceiling last year in Allen and Edmunds. I don’t think that he will be scared off by Metcalf’s limited resume. A top pass catcher is right there with OL for biggest need. We need guys to block and catch. Give Josh a chance to succeed

Yeah, but a rookie QB that was graded highly a year ago is of value (especially in a down QB year).

Rosen to Washington for pick 15 just makes way too much sense for everyone. Washington can get a guy likely graded ahead of any QB available at that point and the Cardinals can still get a foundational defensive piece.

Every time Robby Anderson is mentioned I picture this as the soundtrack of your mind:

Ha ha, I was thinking the exact same thing!! I honestly need to hear from those people. I voted for Chan because I thought that he was a decent football coach. His offense was pretty effective and he didn’t have a ton of talent.

This is just bad IMO. I HATE when people unretire. Make a decision and stick with it.

FWIW, I like Murray a lot too. He’s 2nd to me. I just think that he’s closer to a mid-1st rounder and has downside. Haskins to me has a high floor and ceiling. I like Daniel Jones a little bit too (and maybe I shouldn’t).

Play, I think that Haskins is a really advanced passer. I don’t know if you saw Dan Orlovsky break it down on GET UP yesterday or not but it’s worth a watch. Haskins does things pre-snap and during the play that are well ahead of where others are. He said that he will blow everyone away this weekend on the whiteboard. That is in addition to his “clutch gene” (most 4th quarter TDs) and high completion percentage.

I hate to say this but it makes it a little better for me. If these people are a problem outside the office they should be fired. I’d be more nervous if they just couldn’t decide what they wanted in leadership.

Yeah and I’m not sure how you’d have to quantify “turning a weakness into a strength.” If the Bills trade for AB and find some dynamic rookie it could become a strength even if Duke Williams catches 4 balls on the year. There has to be some criteria to defining him as the “needle mover.”

I think that they will be in a prime spot for someone that wants a QB. The Raiders are a WC at 4 and the Jags and Giants are sitting at 6,7. The Jets can float rumors out there of Gruden wanting his own QB and get someone to go to 3. IMO Haskins is a tier ahead of everyone else. I guess that it will all play out but 3 seems like a good spot to me.

I love the offseason. @Mister Defense is talking about Duke Williams making the WR group a strength and @Boca BIlls is talking about him making the team. FWIW, I’d put the odds of Duke making the WR’s a strength at +9500 and I’d put the odds of him making the roster at -130.

Yes please

I loved the early seasons of Homeland. It fell off a cliff in about Season 4 before redeeming itself in the last few seasons.

I saw a Char Broil electric smoker on clearance the other day for $140. I wasn’t looking for one but felt that I had to pick it up at that price. Now, I am sitting here trying to figure out what to do with it. This is ALWAYS a good place for conversation on stuff like that. I was hoping for some recipes and ideas of things that I can do on this smoker.

I hope that you are right and don’t necessarily disagree that Beane and McDermott May be the right people. Any way you slice it though they have cycled through hockey people, football people and business people at a crazy rate. I hope that they get the right people in place and develop some stability. It’s going to be hard to recruit the top people into those roles knowing that the “average lifespan” at PSE is far less than the other places recruiting the same people. You don’t want that to be your reputation.

I said that RB absolutely needed to be fired. I believe that some of those others needed to go as well. That doesn’t change the fact that they are turning over senior level people at an unparalleled level. They are the ones that hired these people in many cases!! The last guy was there a month. I didn’t even name them all. The average pro sports franchise probably has 12 or so people at the “senior level” between on and off the field (maybe a little more). They have cycled through people at a rate that no other team has. The Pelicans/Saints are a similar structure. They have turned over 3 people at that level since 2012 (if my memory is correct). They fired the VP of sponsorship in like 2015, Monty Williams (HC Pelicans) around then and Dell Demps (GM Pelicans) this year. Every other department head remains and outside of Monty Williams the people were replaced internally. The Pegulas have been through 20 or so people at that level in a similar time frame. What is happening at PSE is not normal.

No one is arguing that they do. That isn’t the conversation taking place. The conversation is, “why is PSE cycling through senior level executives at a way higher rate than other pro sports organizations?”
