We may be in the minority; however, I agree. I would love to have Whaley on this staff. 2

Unless of course that wasn’t just a cheap shot at previous regimes but also an admission that you wasted real NFL snaps on Nate Peterman. You also couldn’t stop yourself from signing Star even when all evidence said he was trending downward. Win a playoff game then you can say whatever you want without me ranting. The Nathan Peterman decision tells me he has no clue on offense and is the biggest mistake he's made since he's been here. However, how's the defense been in totality since Star has gotten here?

I was unaware of the other two, but now that you mention it, I recall Mikerd of Lerentee McCrary! IIRC, McCrary was more of a Rex thing, and it was a conditional 7th round pick two years later.

Ah, the benefits of an All-Pro EDGE player. And folks say Von Miller wouldn’t have helped us.

However, how's the defense been in totality since Star has gotten here? I don’t understand the logic. How much better would the team be if they better spent Star’s money and paid minimal for a replacement level player? That’s team building. The reason that signing was so bad is because it seemed inevitable. A big name Carolina player becoming a UFA for a position of need!? Benjamin and Star are two guys that both the coach and GM had first hand knowledge of. They both should have known better, the fact they didn’t is alarming. I love OBD now compared to how and who it was before but let’s not act like that isn’t a concern set of events.

That was an awesome team. 2 #1s (including a #9) and a 4th for a receiver when we had no quarterback CB. I mean seriously...... The man gave away the store. He had no business holding the GM position. Tell me please.....if he was any good, dontcha think someone else would have hired him? Edited October 30, 2019 by Bill from NYC 2 1

Benjamin was a horrible trade while Star is exactly who they thought he would be (a selfless space eater who holds his ground while taking up double teams so other DT's can shine) so I wouldn't lump the two together. We pry paid more than we should've for Star but we're not exactly in salary cap trouble.

Not sure that was necessary. I really have no idea what his statement is supposed to mean. And is he implying that past poor decisions mean current good decisions can't be made? I don't really like McD as a person or a coach, so I don't give him the benefit of the doubt with this stuff. Seems like a weird comment for him to make. Especially as he is so conservative and scared to speak his mind.

What a joke. Vezina finalist Robin Lehner. What a joke! 30 goal scorer Kane! Hilarious. we need to make better decisions like trading up for Zay; passing on Mahomes; 2 picks for KB; and trading for Jordan Matthews! You can't POSSIBLY be this ignorant. 1

reddogblitz Posted October 30, 2019 Posted October 30, 2019 2 hours ago, Gugny said: He didn't say anything. If he had balls, he'd have either said, "this team was set behind years by the previous GM and HC," or said, "Brandon Beane and I have already made bad decisions and we're trying to avoid making more," or both. But he said neither. His wording is cryptic and weak, if you ask me. So far behind he made the playoffs the first year.

I still believe it was frustration from the Eagles loss on top of constant questions no doubt about possible trades. 1
Steptide Posted October 30, 2019 Posted October 30, 2019 Not just bad player signings/contracts. Don't forget the bills gave jauron a big extension and then fired him a year later 1
