He’s a complete bust both knees are jacked. He’s had numerous injuries and is one hit from being out of the league for good. I said something very similiar before his draft and was laughed at. He’s worth about as much as a worn out pair of cleats.

Such a breath of fresh air comparable to our previous GM!

Why that was one of the most idiotic things to do and he mentioned it along with Romo on a pre Super Bowl interview.

What is his point?
Dont overpay because the expectations will be too high if you do?
What a lame response.
No don’t pay someone something that isn’t worth it, dont draft a third round player in the first round. You know kind of like Whaley did with EJ.Don’t pay a guy 12-13 mil if he’s not worth it. You know kinda like Whaley did with Dareus and Clay.

Currently DT Star Lotulelei will take up a team-high 5.8% of the #Bills salary cap in 2019 after signing a five-year, $50 million deal with Buffalo last offseason. Despite this, he only played in 46.9% of defensive snaps last season & he played in all 16 games
First did Beane bully you as a kid?
Frazier, Sean, and Beane have both stated in the past that the goal is to keep the defensive line fresh. Seeing how we were number two in total yards given up per game and number one in passing yards given up I’ll take there stance rather than a message board specialist.

Not a process guy. Nothing on his twitter bio about faith or God.
How about he hasn’t been healthy since 15. Hasn’t played a full season in three years. Pff rated 67 best tackle. Dawkins off rated 37 best tackle. On makes 900k. The other makes 10+ mil. Easy answer no don’t throw away the cap space on an unhealthy, less rated, more expensive option. Has nothing to do with process, just about being smart and not a completely insane person.

Beane truly understands free agency and the draft as opposed to our last Gm.
“It would be like drafting a guy you have a third-round grade on in the first round out of a need or because you don't want somebody else to get him. Well, now the expectations in our building, in the locker room, the media, the fans, is, ‘Wow, this guy's a first-round pick. I'm expecting him to be like all first-rounders.’ When in reality (if he’s not), it's not his fault. He's going to have a hard time. You're setting him up to fail when you do that, and that's the thing that can happen in free agency. You pay a guy a big number, and there's going to be expectations from coaches, players, the media, fans, everybody. They're going to go, ‘Man, they paid this guy $12 million a year. He's going to be a big-time player.’ Well, not if he's really a $7 or $8 million player.”

agree to disagree.
as I see it, Sammy is a stallion. You need stallions to win.
i wouldn't mind dumping him if we had someone better or could get someone better.
2 years later and we're still waiting. We still don't have anyone 1/2 as good even if Sammy only plays 8 games per.
i don't get this attitude that if a dude's not Jerry Rice we'd rather just suck along with the likes of Deonte Thompson, McKenzie, Zay, Felton, and Ray Ray. Which one of these guys or any Bills WR the last 2 years start for any of the team that played this weekend? How many would even make their taxi squad?
Sammy was the second most productive WR on a team that advanced to AFC Championship game today. Top guy had 10 more yards.
But he's not good enough for the Bills? OK.
He was the fourth offensive option on that team. 16 million a year for the fourth option????? He was no stud he’s playing solely in a complimentary role when he decides his foot doesn’t hurt too much to play.

I would rather have Cordy Glenn than any offensive linemen that we have on our team. The Bengals got a steal. At the same time, we saw Dawkins abused in games . . . unlike we EVER saw with Cordy.
So yes, I would rather have Cordy.
As for weapons, we made NO attempt to bring back Goodwin or Woods (and this bit about Woods would never have signed with us is revisionist history). At the same time, if we had chosen Mahomes with our own pick, we could have what we gave up to trade up for Josh to improve our offensive talent.
I have not even mentioned how the Bills braintrust thought it was a good idea to ask one of our few pro bowl guys to take a pay cut in the last year of his contract when we had the space and knew (or should have known) that protecting a young QB is instrumental in a young QBs success.
As for Whaley, I am not a huge fan as a GM for a variety of reasons (although not a bad evaluator of talent). Nevertheless, talent costs money. We are going to learn that lesson again this year when we have to (over)pay for free agents. By the way, some would say that this brain trust overpaid for Star and Trent Murphy. The only difference is that it was McBeane who got the check book out rather than Whaley.
I don’t know exactly where to start.
Cordy isn’t anything special he’s slightly better than Dawkins.
https://www.profootballfocus.com/nfl/players/cordy-glenn/7045
Here Cordy is rated in the 60’s missed 3 games this year and cap hit 11 mil.
Here Dawkins is rated in the 30’s missed no games and His cap hit is 950k
https://www.profootballfocus.com/nfl/players/dion-dawkins/11818
Goodwin was given every opportunity here, but he was solely focused on the Olympics why should a team commit on him if he is uncommitted to them?
Woods we should have kept, probably would have to if we could have afforded him, unfortunately the cap cellar Whaley placed us in was just to big of a hole to dig out and be able to field a team and pay woods what he was worth and looking for.
Mahomes is what he is after a year of bench setting behind Smith, tutelage from Reid, and all the skilled players he has. He wouldn’t have been the same here. We have no te, we, and to a large extent run game that have the capabilities of what Reid has in KC.
Once again we were in cap cellar did you see what we had to work with.
Talent does cost money, however paying extraordinary fees for Clay, Shady, Marcell is ridiculous.

It apparently is beyond me to understand why it was better to not draft a great QB prospect when we had the chance but to rather have to give up so many more assets to select a very raw QB* . . . and at the same time get rid of the proven LT (Cordy) who one would think we would want to keep to protect a young QB.
While we are at it, I also do not understand why we surrounded our young QB with substandard talent.
* I am still hopeful for Josh . . . but I dare say the vast majority (if not all) GMs outside of One Bills Drive would not trade Mahomes for Josh.
Corey Glenn has missed so many games the year prior with an ankle injury. Hey what did Corey do this year? He missed games this year. He hasn’t played a full year in 3 years.
Well if Whaley hadn’t completely destroyed our cap and (did you watch the year end presser by Beane), we likely would have had more weapons.
Every organization except the Chiefs must be idiots too as they dont have Mahomes on their team.

Forget about the whole hindsight debate. Would you rather have Mahomes or Allen? You have a choice right now. Who are you taking?
I just don't think you have to play make believe to be a Bills fan. I'd rather see the Bills win the Superbowl and Allen throw for 60 TD's, but I call it like I see it.
My answer is I’m sticking with the program that i have started and given Allen a second year. If Mahomes comes with Kelce, hunt, and Reid for Allen, clay, and David sure. Mahomes wouldn’t be the Mahomes you see today with the assets the bills have on offense.

No. I'm saying that you take a QB when one is available and don't delay that decision because the timing isn't perfect.
Decisions made out of desperation are typically not good.
That’s stupid if one is available at 9 we aren’t taking one and to do so would be irresponsible and ignorant. What you would have had them do is select a qb when they weren’t sold on him which is by your statement desperation and typically not good.

Lmao.
"It wasn't our time."
Why must we make excuses for the regime?
I like Allen, but you'd be an idiot not to exchange Allen for Mahomes at this point.
Just call it like it is. These guys chose the more difficult path to success in their choice of rebuild.
Many here have given them credit for tearing everything down, I'll wait until they actually build it back up and they start winning.
At this point (key word), it back then. As I recall multiple teams past on the opportunity of Mahomes. He and you are hindsighting like it’s cool. They chose what they chose. As did 31 other teams, that didn’t draft Mahomes.
2 minutes ago, BillsVet said:In other words, when a QB was available in '17 (actually 2), McCoach decided a CB and the 91st pick was the best decision. And, they could get the QB later.
Deferring on QB has plagued this organization going back years. It leads to being backed into a corner and taking a QB out of desperation (See 2013, 2018 drafts).
As in, after 2012 when Fitz was DFA'd and in 2017 when TT proved he wasn't starting material.
Year after year I'm amazed at the verbal gymnastics some fans will exhibit to defend their team against accusations of ineptitude.
Buffalo essentially gave up on the 2018 season to enjoy cap flexibility in the future. Pretty gutsy strategy when some teams are firing HC's after 2 or even 1 season.
Trust the process, right?
So you are attributing the failed quarterbacks of yesteryear to Sean and Beane? Interesting and original concept.

I presume he is referring to Mahomes. I would probably disagree as to whether Mahomes is the best player in the NFL, but he certainly is the best young QB in the NFL and McCoach handed him to the Chiefs. We could have picked him with our own pick without having to give up so much to trade up to select Josh.
P.S. I am still hopeful that Josh will continue to progress, but we clearly gave up a premium for Josh when we could have picked Mahomes without giving up anything extra.
Mahomes also has a master offensive guru, the fastest we in the game, and a te who is open even when he is not. NFL is a team game, while Mahomes is looking good there is zero assurance that he would have been here, in addition to that we were still in the midst of establishing the coaches and other positions. It simply wasn’t our time, if that is too hard to understand or if you are unwilling to understand it then a message board isn’t for you.

What do you think he should say Joe? Andre was a great wide receiver for the Buffalo Bills, right? He is watching the best player in the NFL destroy competition. McDermott handed said player to the Chiefs and drafted a cornerback.
Why don't you let us know exactly what Andre Reed should say.
Who’s the best player in the nfl that Sean handed to the Chiefs. Please don’t say it... lol if you do I’m perms ignoring you because you have no clue about football.

And this is why our offense has sucked for two years! You work for the Bills?
Sammy’s productionnor his hyped up potential is worth no where near what he’s being paid. If you can’t see his lack of consistent, reliable, availability problems, you might wanna a pick a new sport to spectate.

I think they will be active in free agency, but smart (not like the Whaley clay scenario).
I think they pursue talent that fits at a price we are willing to pay and not get into a pissing contest with other teams unless that player is clearly worth it.
i think we don’t make any splash trades.
i think Beane will do exactly as he says and draft best available.

Cant be I read how fantastic a coach he was and why we needed to fire Sean to hire him, and prior to that how stupid the Kim and Terry were for not hiring that mastermind. Yikes....

Sometimes it’s not all about football. Sometimes it’s about maturity, learning to be a good teammate, and learning to be a good leader; all of which can be worked in another year of school.
How can we not be all in on Metcalf now?

At 9 I wouldn’t mind, no Sammy Watkins trade up. He could be the guy they were trying to get out of KB (obviously minus the speed).
