Who's trades were better? well it was "Whaley's team" that got to the playoffs, so I guess time will tell. as it stands right now, same record, but the Whaley/Rex roster (sans Rex's coaching) got the playoff appearance. Beane has shown more finesse, that's for sure, but he also garners more fan support.

HansLanda Posted August 30, 2019 Posted August 30, 2019 Generally "OK" with this, but how many 6th round picks equals a 4th? Also, tin foil hat on, don't the Pats always seem to be sniffing around the Bills' scrap heap from time to time?

DuckyBoys Posted August 30, 2019 Posted August 30, 2019 He got draft picks for players that likely would not have made the roster. Beane seems to be always maneuvering Time will tell how his choices work out 1

(EDIT: Sorry, 7 minutes) McBeane's job is to stock this team with talent.....he did his job as far as going towards winning. I dont know any other way to put this. We now move onto the next phase.....coach and players have to do their part.
DabillsDaBillsDaBills Posted August 30, 2019 Posted August 30, 2019 You guys need to relax. Never forget that Beane traded a 3rd +7th for Kelvin Benjamin. Beane's legacy will largely be determined by how Allen turns out. If he turns into the franchise QB that we all hope, then great. If he flounders and fails.... We also need to wait to see how he's done with his big FA signings (morse, brown, beasley). I'm not terribly impressed by Lotulelei and Murphy from his first year. Trading mediocre depth players for late round picks is great and all, but doesn't move the needle very much. 2

The Grey presently, the white if we get in the playoffs, Super bowl, and he rides off with the elves.... Go Bills!!!

That’s believable IIRC whales wanted Trubisky/Mahomes and that didn’t happen. Whaley wanted Watson or Mahomes. Too bad too, because much like Ozzie Newsome, he would have hit on his 2nd QB pick with either of those guys. I dont know what to say about Beane and the 2017 draft. If everyone is as professional as they say, he should have had zero say. He hadnt even interviewed with the Bills yet, nor talked about an offer, so to influence another teams draft when you currently have a job seems highly unlikely. Mayyybe he and McD could have chatted and he couldve said "Well, if it were up to me, I suggest trading down and acquiring picks for next year and here are a few guys I kinda like". However, Tre White, Jones, and Milano are all standard, classic Whaley-type guys. Good corner, shaky WR, good late round LB find. Classic Whales. Tough to say. 2

I understand that as both the GM and HC contribute to organizational success in different ways. If Beane is not a part of the success, as with any GM, he will be held accountable. And if he is not building the roster, he could be let go, as Dave Gettleman was in Carolina, before the HC was.
