He got screwed with the QB position. Beanes track record in FA is terrible and his draft picks look like question marks everywhere. Ed Oliver and Edmunds ...Front 7 signings... And has anyone noticed our terrible contracts on defense? Trent Murphy is one of the highest paid players on this team. Murphy is the 9th highest paid player on the team. We’d have saved $8M by cutting him and probably would’ve spent at least that on a comparable replacement. Addison is getting $10.15M per season by comparison. Honestly I’m wondering how much of our issues are scheme and how much is personnel. For what we are collectively paying this defense we are getting crap in return. $51.2M tied up in the DL this season per Spotrac.
GreggTX Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 This is a fair question. I cringe at the thought of Beane running another offseason. He had almost $90 mill and we are worse off. I really don't want him running any more drafts. He's had hits and misses like any GM, but the misses are really piling up a lot faster than the hits -- especially in the top 2 rounds on draft weekend. Our DL has been absolutely horrible so far. Even Josh was so bad that no one besides the biggest Bills homers will refer to him as an MVP candidate any more. What potential GM candidates are out there? 1

That's because until White's contract kicks in we really don't have any expensive players.

Diggs cost a hell of a lot less than Watkins.

billsfan714 Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 Whaley is the Peter Principle. He rose to his level of incompetence. Evaluating pro personnel was where he should of stayed.
Buffalo03 Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 (edited) I think there is still a clear overreaction here. Sure, we have some issues defensively but we have built a solid defense the first 3 years under his watch and the offense even got better. We have to fix things but in his defense, most teams have had a down year defensively. I'm not sure if it was the change in offseason activities and no pre season but I feel like we are a talented team, we're just off right now. I have seen enough over Beane's 4 years here to tell me what him and McDermott has built is good. A whole bunch of players don't go from 3 solid seasons to all of a sudden being really bad at football in one year. Something is off but it's not lack of talent Edited October 20, 2020 by Buffalo03 1

Something is off but it's not lack of talent We missed the payoffs for 17 straight seasons. Now, it looks like we will make it 3 of 4 seasons during a rebuild. This is not even a serious question. The overreaction after a loss is laughable. OK, two in a row, to the two teams in the AFC Championship game last year. There will be terrible losses. That’s the NFL. We just got beat by better teams and learned what we need to work on. Let’s get on doing that. . Edited October 20, 2020 by Augie

Like last year I remember Harrison Phillips was playing at a high level before his injury and got beyter from year one to year 2 and now he is getting benched. They're just off right now

par73 Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 If memory serves, I believe most posters here defended Whaley to the bitter end.
