I love this thread. I voted yes. But imo, you can tell the story of the NFL without Fitz. If he had a single playoff run, I think he actually gets in. His crowning achievement is missing the playoffs with the Jets. That’s tough.

Correct take. I actually didn’t like Coleman predraft. But I’m no scout. If they walked away with Coleman and Franklin or Corley or whatever, I would say hey, at least they recognize the problem. To come out of the deepest WR draft in years with WR as our biggest need is a failure. And them not recognizing that is an even bigger problem.

If Beane wasn’t that worried about the grade difference of Coleman and say McConkey or Legette, that kinda works against “Coleman was their guy,” to me.

Good point. Actually.

That’s all fine and a logical possibility. But then the “Coleman was our guy all along” propaganda is just that. My posts have exactly 0.0% to do with if the Bills succeed or fail. I enjoy discussing them at an intellectual level when it comes to teambullding and overarching strategy because it’s the most fun part of the off-season and you can learn a lot from other posters and exchange/debate ideas. I’ll be cheering for Coleman to be the best WR in NFL history every Sunday. But if that’s what you’re looking for from here, it’s not gonna happen. It’s no fun to say “Aw shucks I hope he’s great, Beane knows best.” Talk about absolutely ***** boring.

I don’t need to think that. I just know I’m smarter than you lol

It’s crazy that Hard Knocks had so much footage of them loving Malik Nabers predraft that they released long after they drafted him. Talk about a lucky coincidence! “Hey you guys aren’t gonna take Coleman if we trade back, right? I’ll take you at your word if you all say you won’t touch him” - Beane to all 31 other GMs, mid phone call with the Chiefs to trade back, in the mind of @oldmanfan

Oh you have proof of this? Oh wait, no of course not, you’re just another rando on the internet. “Get over yourself” indeed lmao.

The reality is he had the 28 pick, then traded back to the 32nd pick, then traded to the 33rd pick, to draft his “priority” weapon. It doesn’t sound as convincing as the “he used his first pick on him!” take.

He knows a lot more than me. He couldn’t know if anyone else would’ve taken Coleman. It’s impossible. I’m sorry this hurts your feelings. There’s a reason no one can predict the draft with 100% accuracy. It’s impossible.

No one could “know” that. It’s impossible. He may have strongly suspected that. He may have said “there’s only a small chance we miss our guy, let’s do the trade back.” But that still means he was willing to risk losing Coleman to make that trade. Even if he thought it was a small risk. It’s quite the opposite of “prioritizing.”

They didn’t use their first pick in the draft on a weapon. They used it to trade back and pickup a third. Beane prioritized THAT over GETTING Coleman. To say that’s basically the same thing as trading up for Kincaid or trading for Diggs is preposterous.

Come on man. Trading back into the second to get the #8 WR in the draft is basically the same as taking a guy in the top 10 lol

Will Troy Franklin or MVS/Claypool/Hamler/Hollins have more yards in 2024?

Brady Mahomes Rex Ryan

….

You have evidence that the dad bought him a gun?

@Alphadawg7 is one of the best posters at blaming everything else under the sun for being wrong. “I wasn’t wrong, I read wrong info” “I wasn’t wrong, I quickly Googled that and posted it without checking” ”the website’s AI was wrong, not me.” the man is ELITE. Be thankful you get to witness this run @BADOLBILZ

This is very funny. So much reductive logic. They won the Super Bowl, so it was a good idea. Oookay.

Rice would be #1 WR on this team in target share. I think you could argue that Brown would be too. And Kelce > Kincaid unless he gets old and falls off. So besides their top 3 weapons being better than our top 3 weapons, I don’t know what is so great about them.

They were 15th in points with the best QB in football. Said QB had the worst YPG, TD% and INT% of his career. No one though the KC offense was really good this year. If you have a post saying, “wow this Chiefs’ offense looks Super Bowl caliber,” in October/November/December, go ahead and show it. I call BS. Also they traded Tyreek? They didn’t cut him… Yes, you can be really bad at WR and have a disappointing offense that is borderline unacceptable with a superstar QB and still win a Super Bowl. That doesn’t make me happy that the WR group sucks. You can also have your MVP QB get hurt in the middle of the season and win with the backup. The Eagles proved that as well. That wouldn’t make me happy if Josh got hurt.

The argument is that we are no worse than the WR’s of KC in 2023, and they won the SB despite a terrible group. I haven’t seen anyone argue that our weapons in 2024 are better than theirs in 2024. You’re welcome to make that claim.

The Chiefs were so happy with their offense they went out and drafted a WR in the first and paid another former first round WR to start. Their plan wasn’t “be ***** on offense and win the SB anyway.” That was the result. That shouldn’t be our plan, either.

Aikdaddy was sneaky elite in the postseason. 3 runs in the postseason with a >100 passer rating, all with SB’s, including a year with an 8-0 TD/INT ratio. Joe Flacco took notes.

Yeah man, Andy Reid never had a bad offensive game.
