I actually didn't think the squat was amazing either. But then with his own weight added....

Every team has injuries. Yes, ours were worse certain years but it's not an excuse I would use year after year.

Who cares about regular season??? How's our D in the playoffs?

You just summed up my problem with McDermott. The more injuries you have the more creative you should be. Cb blitzes, major risk taking should be considered. Not what we get , especially on defense.

We are best at developing dbs and safeties. (I'll know I'm wrong if we draft a safety high lol)

This is 1 of the next Hyde/Poyer. Watch.

You think we have to move up to get K Grant if he's a major target?

I think this is accurate. If Beane views this draft as weak we may trade back to next year. Honestly it's smart if that's an accurate assessment of the draft.

Ah, sure thing there Sydney.

Nah, what we need is a jag, hear me out...

People seem pretty split I think on who is more to blame for not having a title. Seems like it's close to consensus that we have top 3rd of the league coach and gm. I still lean mcd as more at fault, though it's close. I just don't think he has the creativity at the end of the day to take out top coaches and overall his DEF has been putrid in the playoffs. But I see the other side. We lack elite playmakers. That's on Beane.

Ok, very fair take. Probably correct in hindsight.

I agree. He does take risks, like with Von, but he's less apt to try for the risky moves.

I couldn't think of a better way to explain. Side note I was very sure that story was bs but I think it was actually true wasn't it??

Both things are true. Beane hasn't brought in enough elite talent around Josh and Mcd is prone to getting outclassed by the best coaches in the league. I think while we lack very high end talent we're full near the top of the league in good players. Groot is an example. Good to very good, not elite. A bit hard to explain, requires a bit of nuance. In madden terms we have a lot of guys in the 80's but few in the 90's.
