Comebackkid Posted May 20, 2022 Posted May 20, 2022 i would just like to add.. NFL.COM #1 Brandon Beane/Sean McDermott, Buffalo Bills The Bills' transformation since McDermott's hire in January 2017 could be taught in a college-level course on how to rebuild a franchise. McDermott helped to hire Beane in May of that year, and they've hit every right note since: from big trades (Stefon Diggs, moving up for Josh Allen) savvy draft picks, to knowing which veterans to reward (Jordan Poyer, Micah Hyde) and when to move on (John Brown, LeSean McCoy). Beane was chosen as the top executive by several of The Athletic's national writers. "I voted for Beane because I think the Bills lead the league in MTMS (Moves That Make Sense)," Sheil Kapadia said in explaining his support for Beane. "That doesn't mean they all work out, but they seem to have a good process." 2 Quote

HomeskillitMoorman Posted May 20, 2022 Posted May 20, 2022 (edited) I mean, Allen alone gives Beane a lot of leeway for other moves that haven't necessarily worked out. Not that I think he shouldn't be judged on anything else. But I still think overall even "aside from Josh", which is kind of hard to do, he's done a pretty solid job. I would agree that we haven't gotten great bang for the buck on some of the resources we've spent on D, especially high-end draft capital and I was a little perplexed we didn't do more for the o-line going into last season. All in all though I think if we're being real...this is a roster that probably should have won the title last year if not for McD's gag job in KC and we're looking pretty good to compete big this year and in the future. He's a keeper for me. EDIT: I also think he has the right temperament and approach to how to have a relationship with the franchise player which is pretty important. As both have mentioned before, they both run their opinions by each other and Beane does ask Josh for his thoughts on certain potential moves...but they have an understanding that it's ultimately Beane's call. This is obviously important given how we've seen some of the relationships between front offices and QB's have had an impact or led to trades or firings, etc. Edited May 20, 2022 by HomeskillitMoorman Quote
FilthyBeast Posted May 20, 2022 Posted May 20, 2022 Both Beane and McDermott will ultimately be judged on whether or not they win a SB during their time here. But you can really argue that JA17 is sole reason they are still here and why they will be given a certain degree of benefit of the doubt. But I still maintain that given all the money we have committed on right now to JA17 and other big name players recently added/extended, there are no excuses to not reach the pinnacle of success and bring home a championship to Buffalo. If that doesn't happen in the next few years it probably won't with this regime and that's simply the reality of the situation. Quote

Guts team in 2017 and 2018 to shed salary and dead weight and starts the meat of the rebuild in the 2018 draft. 3 years later, we are the #1 ranked offense, #1 ranked defense, reigning back to back 2 time division champion, perennial playoff team and SB contender, with the odds on favorite for MVP, odds on favorite to make and win the SB, and the consensus best roster in the NFL entering the season...a roster that does not have a single player on it from before the McBeane era. But please tells us some more how bad Beane is again. The worst take will come in the form of "but they haven't won a championship".

If JA17 didn't explode on the scene the last few years what evidence is there this team would have been where they are? Not saying we'd be a 3 win team but folks are giving too much credit to Beane/McDermott especially when the evidence is there that JA17's development had more to do with his own raw talent and Daboll's influence vs anything McDermott has done.

Freak-O Posted May 20, 2022 Posted May 20, 2022 What’s the point in trying to discredit people in your own team’s organisation while the team is very successful? I just don’t get it. Can’t be much fun being a person so desperately looking for flaws instead of enjoying life. 3 Quote

The proof is in the fact they took a Tyrod Taylor lead team to the playoffs - pre-Josh Allen. Even a poor excuse for a Dolphins fan should know that. 🤷♂️ 1 1 Quote
