Very little.

 

Every great QB covers warts. It's the nature of the beast. Every roster has warts.

 

This Bills roster is constructed extremely well.

 

Any team going from a great QB to it's backup is vastly less good.

[HOUSE]

It is widely believed Buffalo has the best roster in the NFL. Beane built this roster, he can't coach or suit up on Sunday.

The coaches need to coach and the players need to play better.

EVALUATE BEANE...YOUR KIDDING RIGHT ??

The Chargers just waived their 1st rd pick from 2019.

You don't. If they go into another November swoon questions need to be asked though 

And if they pick it back up in December and January, why does it matter?

[MPL]

Little to none. I would wager that the fan bases of approximately 28.4 franchises would view Beane as a significant upgrade over their current GM.

Evaluation of Beane is not needed.

 

He is #1 https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-gm-power-rankings-bills-brandon-beane-sean-mcdermott-rams-les-snead-top-the-

Well, Beane doesn't have Mahomes or Brady on the bench as our back up QB, so he sucks. 

 

What do people expect if/when your starting franchise QB is out with injuries?

He is willing to slightly overpay to retain homegrown talent but sometimes you have no alternatives.

 

He is a solid GM and that's a job in which you can't be perfect.

 

Have we?  I think he has done a great job possibly underpaying some of the home grown talent - Josh, Milano stick out the most to me.  

 

Your second point is amazing and needs to said.  When comparing a GM to perfection by listing a handful of mistakes, the GM will always fail because every GM has those handful of "mistakes".

The board consensus seems to be that Brandon Bean is a witch. Assembled the best roster in the league. But the board consensus also seems to be that we aren’t good enough to beat anybody without Josh. 
 

I don’t think one game is an indicator positive or negative. But we also can’t have it both ways. 

 

This.

Show me a team that doesnt have a significant drop off when their Franchise QB is out, and I'll show you a team with a bad Franchise QB.

 

True, but we've all seen backup QBs perform well.  I think this is based on three things:  The QB, the coordinator, and the run game.  As an extreme example, obviously a backup to the 90s Troy Aikman Cowboys should have an advantage when their offense is built on running it for 5 ypc.  The Cooper Rush cowboys got wins, but did not exactly light it up through the air. 

 

Although it has performed better this year, the Bills don't have the strongest running game.  That is one strike against us and puts more pressure on the coordinator and the QB.

 

Personally, if Josh is out, I will be very curious how the early scripted plays go.  I have memories of some bad Bills QBs (Emanuel?) having good early drives because of the scripted plays and then struggling when they had to just run the offense.

[Joe Ferguson]

It's not Beane but McDermott who is a defensive guy put all the investements on defense at thte expense of the offense. So let's see how all the money, all the draft picks spent on the defense will do this Sunday without Allen. All that money could have spent on the o-line and Allen wouldn't be in this predicament with his elbow injury.

[gjv]

Allie’s injury should reiterate to Beane and McDermott that the Bills offense needs a RB that opposing defenses need to game plan for. That addition would be the final brick to an unstoppable offense. Not to mention, helping our offense when Allen can’t play.

[Airseven]

No reason to pull up the draft order and simply list OLs taken after Bernard. Suffice it to say, there’s 3-4 of them within 35 picks following Bernard who are already getting substantial NFL playing time.

Rush did more than fine when Dak was out.

Yeh but Rush has one of the top 2 or 3 rushing attacks to help him out. Our QB is the Bills rushing attack that’s what I want to see if Josh isn’t the 3rd and 1 offense can they do it without him. 

[Simon Says]

I hope Keenum acquits himself well.

Offensively I expect the Bills to be more conservative; run more and focus on short or intermediate passes. Would love to see Knox go off and Davis to make a difference.

A good time for Cook,Shakir,Hines,Epenesa and Marlowe to step up.

Well, I guess the question then is does it matter if you play at home in January or not? Many would argue that it does and last November cost them that opportunity.

[Aesop]

Every week is an evaluation, of the entire team. Jobs are always on the line, its the NFL.

[corta765]

If Buffalo doesnt win 70-3 then Beane will be beheaded.. yes its that serious

[K-9]

Evaluating a GM on a single game? That’s an absurd proposition. 

[Jauronimo]

I love these week 10 must win games we find ourselvse in while sitting at 6-2 and the #1 seed in the AFC.

[mushypeaches]

I believe that Bill Polian when he was GM of the Colts was asked a similar question about potentially losing Peyton Manning:

 

His paraphrased response:

 

"If we lose Peyton, we're f***ed, and we don't practice f***ed"

If Josh doesn’t play on Sunday and not really a good or bad topic but how much will you be evaluating the overall roster construction?

Does Josh really mask the warts this team has like the constant talking about a running game or a consistent receiver outside Diggs.

Or does the talent we have step up and be good enough to hold it down til 17 returns? 

 

Huh?  You take away the best player in the NFL from any team, ESPECIALLY when its a QB, and that is a terrible barometer to rate a team.  No one player is more important in any team sport than the QB is in the NFL.  

 

We are playing a 7-1 Vikings team, win or lose it does not change how great of GM Beane has been.  Sorry, this is not a good topic
