Milanos Milano Posted January 24, 2022 Author Posted January 24, 2022 We have not drafted enough high end talent. Edmunds rd 1 Basham rd 2 Epenesa rd 2 Ford rd 2 Moss rd 3 Oliver rd 1 Rousseau rd 1 Have all underperformed their draft statuses thus far IMO. Especially Ford and Moss. I expect more from Edmunds, Oliver, and Rousseau given their rd 1 status. 1 2 2 7 1 3 Quote

Milanos Milano Posted January 24, 2022 Author Posted January 24, 2022 However our late round picks and UDFAs have faired fairly well. In conclusion, whoever is in charge of late round talent scouting deserves a raise. 4 Quote

Even after a devastating loss today I don’t deny that, but I expect better. I expect super bowls. Now that we have a lot of money tied up into expense under performing FAs and draft picks, drafting is more important than ever. Beane deserves some criticism. Quote

He is not perfect... However I think you persevere with him another couple years .. He needs a DE in FA 1 Quote

Could have been so crucial today if that acquisition had of occurred instead of signing Mario Quote

Could have been so crucial today if that acquisition had of occurred instead of signing Mario I like Beane, he does an ok job, but with so much money on the books, he has to get better or we will not win a super bowl. It’s amazing to me whoever is scouting DB talent. They have hit on almost every DB we have drafted, early or late round. It’s the best thing we draft. 1 Quote

I reckon he can get better though . He is still learning his craft..... I don't really see anyone else on another team I would prefer to be honest ... Edited January 24, 2022 by Aussie Joe Quote

Otherwise start looking for someone who can. Wanting Super Bowls is not unrealistic - expecting them is. Andy Reid is going to the Hall of Fame and it took him 20 years to win one. It took Bill Cowher 14. The list goes on and on and on. It even took Bill Belichick 6. Expecting to win something that only one of 32 teams can is preposterous. You can expect to be in a position to compete for one, but to expect to win not just one, but plural is insulting to the level of competition the league offers. We will probably get one at some point with Allen and co, and maybe several but it won't be on-demand. The league MVP is going home without a title this year - I bet their fan base is upset. The greatest QB to ever play the game is also going home without a title this year - I bet he's upset too. I bet both of those players have enough respect for how hard it is to win it all that they don't just expect to win because they're great. They know it takes more than that.

Milanos Milano Posted January 24, 2022 Author Posted January 24, 2022 He hasn’t done enough. He hasn’t drafted enough elite talent. If he misses this draft we need to start debating whether he is good enough. 1 Quote
Brennan Huff Posted January 24, 2022 Posted January 24, 2022 I can’t believe the amount of people who don’t remember the drought and the terrible GMs and coaches we had before. You guys want to chase out arguably the best GM/HC combo we’ve ever had 1 1 1 3 Quote

We also have to keep in mind we’re picking much later in rounds than we used to cuz we don’t suck anymore lol it’s a lot harder to find sure things if your first pick is in the bottom half of the round.

Given were Oliver was drafted, I expect more. Only reason why I didn’t say great. 5 minutes ago, Brennan Huff said: I can’t believe the amount of people who don’t remember the drought and the terrible GMs and coaches we had before.

We should be striving for elite. 1 Quote
