In addition to not only getting players that are good but also ones that buy into what is being taught here, the family atmosphere and the culture. That stuff is all important or else you end up like Cleveland this year. In addition to making the playoffs while setting us up for future success with nearly $90 million of cap space next year. The off the field stuff might be even MORE important than what has happened on the field. Right. I guess my point is I'm giving a lot of that culture to McDermott's job as HC. I'm probably just grading on a curve here to make McD stand out more, but Beane's been more than good enough to stick with. Not calling for his head or anything. Y'all be complaining about a B-.. 5 minutes ago, matter2003 said: Look at the Rams...they went for one year of glory by trading away all their high picks and didn't get it. Now they have cap hell and no picks for the next 2-3 years, not to mention an albatross of a contract they gave Goff that looks like one of the worst decisions ever made in the NFL. What are THEY going to do? I'd have called it worth it had they beaten the Patriots. Thought the GM was doing great until they resigned Gurley. Also quite a bit of bad luck with his injury.

My philosophy is the HC makes them this way. Look at Randy Moss with Belicheck. Had he spent his whole career in NE I think we have a totally different opinion on his character.

He turned the entire roster in 2 years, may have found his QB and has $90m+ in cap space. He’s the most responsible IMO. McDermott is an A-/B+ from me. Culture is fantastic. Team is disciplined and prepared. Clock management and challenges still need work. Daboll is a B- from me. He’s not creative enough in the red zone for me. I also think Josh needs to run early in games to get into the flow. Frazier is an A-. He’s done a nice job with a really talented defense. My only gripe is that I’d like them to attack a touch more. Josh is a B-. He has shown flashes of what he can become. He needs to be more accurate and consistent. He’s taking the steps though. If he keeps on this trajectory he’s going to be a really good NFL QB. I think this is fair and pretty close to where I am as well. 1

Because were in the playoffs with $90 mill in cap space and essentially an entirely new offense. This year alone he hit on Brown, Beasley, Morse, Knox, Singletary and a bunt single on Ford. That is a LOT to get right in one offseason and have come together. Edited January 3, 2020 by jletha 1

Correcting the group to league average isn't hard. Look at how McKenzie stood out last year. The group was so bad anybody most any practice squad player with a feel for football could stand out as a capable WR It's a step in the right direction Edited January 3, 2020 by BarkleyForGOATBackupPT5P 2
Aussie Joe Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 (edited) I’ll grade them after they play their last game of the season in 4 weeks time Edited January 3, 2020 by Aussie Joe
Magox Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 Beane A. Totally revamped the roster with boatloads of cash and draft picks to continue to improve the team McD A. Changed the culture of the team and has got this team playing so well that it’s difficult to beat them Daboll B- Great schemes, each game is unique in that they change their identity for the game. That has its pluses and minuses. His play calling at times isn’t the best Leslie Frazier A- Hard to gauge his impact. I just believe this is McD’s defense and has his footprints all over it Josh Allen B. I would give him a higher grade considering that he never played for a major program and was very raw coming in and has markedly improved his play. He is an absolute gamer and the heart and soul of the offense 1 1

Look at some of the other WRs that changed teams and how they did: Beckham, Randall Cobb, Crowder, Tate, Adam Humphries, etc. Theres a lot of signings that DO NOT work for lots of reasons, culture is one of them. Of the FA WR signings I would say that Brown and Beasley have been the most successful since both exceeded or met their career best performances. That is very difficult to do in any FA signings, let alone two in the same year. Youre underselling the job he did in terms of bringing in talent and managing the cap. I would say Beane almost deserves a higher grade than McDermott.

I would say Beane almost deserves a higher grade than McDermott. They weren't signed as the consensus top 2 WRs like in Buffalo. The GMs were paying attention to their WR group before those signing depth players.. not starters. I love Smoke and Beasley but they shouldn't be going up against the top CBs in the league. They're perfect as the 2 and 3. I'll happily give Beane an A in time if he can get the group to par. B is still waiting on him to wow me with the roster Edited January 3, 2020 by BarkleyForGOATBackupPT5P

You forgot probably the best signing he made in Feliciano. Not splashy but a no doubt homerun. Just my 2 cents but he’s the nasty that really gets that line going. And Vosean just hiding away on IR as the forgotten man possibly making an impact next year. As fans we wanted a lot of shiny toys last offseason and we had no clue what he actually bought us. 1 1

That said, I like his scheme. I like his play designs. I do think he struggles as to when to call them though. But hey, if they all worked instead of not work he would be a genius. 1

Ugh Beckham did just as fine as Brown. And FOH with Randall Cobb and Giants and Jets offense lol. They were all dumpster fires. Never said Beane was. Brown was a flat out better FA than Crowder for anybody at the time. Enunwa beat out Crowder Smoke didn't join an offense with Jarvis Landry or Amari Cooper eh?

Don Otreply Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 (edited) BB = B+ maybe higher as the season is not over, needs a year or two more to fix the offense through acquisitions. SM = B maybe higher as the season is not over, needs to kick his OC in the asz to fix the offense, a bit stubborn in use and non use of players that do and don’t help the team. BD = C+ sometimes a B, seasons not over so..., play designs are good, but calls the wrong plays at times to the offenses detriment. LF = B never sure if it’s him or SM that’s responsible for what the D is doing, JA this year, C- to A not always on him as the whole offense loses focus during games for to long before recovering, receivers drop far to many passes. Has two additional receivers on the team that could help him, but the coaches won’t activate and actually use them in a normal rotation. That’s all I got, not enough motivation to go into more detail, just had a big lunch, kinda groggy, ?? Go Bills!!! Edited January 3, 2020 by Don Otreply 1

Sure if an A+ is putting together the greatest show on turf over one off-season where does that put Beane..? A front office HC A and GM A is a 15-1 team. It's just my grading curve lol. B-/A is a great FO
