CanadianFan Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 This past season was a great success due to McDermott's ability to pull some rabbits out of the hat. Creating something out of nothing. I know everyone's congratulating the coaching and management for the success. But let's reflect on what contributed to that success. What did Beane add to that team? His biggest free agency signing - was Anquan Boldin. Who contributed ZERO catches to the team's 31st ranked passing offense. His biggest trade acquisition was - Kelvin Benjamin. Who provided 16 catches for the 31st ranked passing offense. Essentially, Beane had ZERO POSITIVE IMPACT for 2017. Beane will have to prove his worth, and earn some of the accolades he's gotten undeservedly from this past season. As a famous football movie said, "SHOW ME THE MONEY". I'm waiting. 2
SoCal Deek Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 Please send this Thread to Mr. Beane's office. I'm guessing he's unaware of the pressure that goes along with being in charge of an NFL Front Office. (sarcasm) 3 1
hondo in seattle Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 What accolades? Hasn't run his first draft yet. I don't think anyone's declaring him a winner just yet 3

ddaryl Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 We are all waiting For the main event Would you recognize it If it came to you in the middle of the night? Would you recognize it If it jumped up and bit you in the ass? We are all waiting For the main event Would you recognize it If it came to you in the middle of your back swing? Would you recognize it If it came speeding like a bullet from a gun?
Lfod Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 (edited) Kinda harsh for a guy that hasn't had much of a chance to prove himself. I agree he has to prove himself. I wouldn't dump on him this early. Anquan Boldin retired didn't he? I don't know how he would aquire stats for a team he's not even playing for when he's out saving the world. You gonna hold that against him? Sorry you said zero catches for him all year like he played for the team this year. Kelvin Benjamin came in late and Peterman was the only guy that seemed to want to throw to him. Plus he got rocked in the leg. So didn't expect crazy stats. At least that was an attempt to give the struggling QBs a big target. Edited January 16, 2018 by Lfod

Johnny Hammersticks Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 Yes, but he hasn’t not proven a thing yet....
Sig1Hunter Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 What is the point of this thread? I'm confused.
clayboy54 Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 I'm pretty sure he's right up there with Stew Barber for best GMs in Bills history!

fridge Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 One thing we can all agree on... he sounds like he knows what he's doing. That should count for something, right!?

Malazan Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 Hey guys, I am miserable and don't like other people having success so please be miserable too. It makes me feel better. 1
BrotherChazz Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 Anquan Boldin was a bigger signing than Micah Hyde or Jordan Poyer? Maybe in name only. Don't mention any of his trades with positive results, like EJ, or the fact that we are set up in the draft. Nobody is declaring him the Best GM ever. But compared to what we've had recently....yeah, I'd take Beane over Donahoe. 3
