If you tell a reporter something off the record it's not going to be repeated to a coworker, and definitely not in a professional setting w recording equipment rolling

People make mistakes. If Beane said that, it was off the record. I don’t know how to make this any simpler.

You could start by using that phrase correctly.

 

If Beane said that quote off the record unquote then the guy wouldn't have repeated it

"Beane told me Allen has struggled from the very beginning. He just doesn't have what it takes / it's never gonna happen for him. He said he was very concerned."

 

Anyone else want to corroborate what I heard?

 

Are you sure he was talking about Kyle Allen?

This week we got the Chicago feed. The announcers were Jim Miller and some other guy. 

 

Miller's partner was Adam Amin from FOX.

I totally agree with you on this one. 
 

If Bean makes that call to Fitz, he would flight immediately to Buffalo.

 Yea they don't just shut down leaks in their front office and then be tossing info out to media people no matter how well they know them. They don't need to know certain things.

On the Bills broadcast it seemed Beane was making excuses for Kyle Allen mentioning how long it took Keenum to feel comfortable in the offensive system.  I took it as a message to fans that he's our backup unless someone becomes available that is an obvious upgrade.  My guess is nothing happens trade wise and Kyle Allen is your #2 going into the year.  They may bring in a practice squad developmental QB to learn the offense while Barkley is on IR.

I doubt it.  He's got a sweet gig with Amazon where he doesn't have to get hit on a weekly basis.  Plus, he's so old he played with Bart Starr his rookie year.

Why would Beane say that to a Bears announcer?

 

Even for pre-season games the announcers get sit downs with some key people in advance. Maybe they spoke to Beane. I doubt he expressed it quite in those terms as Miller put it but I can imagine Beane saying "Kyle has had some struggles from the start of camp" (which fits everything those who were there have said) and then something along the lines of "this game will be another chance for him to show us he has what it takes" which Miller then translates to "Beane thinks he doesn't have what it takes". 

 

I suspect that would be how it went down. If indeed the OP is right. I did not hear it on the DAZN broadcast but then I did not sit through half time I was loading the dishwasher and watering the garden 😄

I mean whether he said it or not them being in on Lance kinda proves the point, right? 

 

I expect someone else to be on the Bills roster by the end of the week as a backup QB. Kyle Allen on the PS but possibly with him elevated week 1 to serve as the backup giving the new guy 2 full weeks to learn the offense.

Whether or not what Miller said can be corroborated from being from Beane, Kyle Allen is not good and Beane and the Bills staff I’m sure are looking at other options.    There are options and better ones than Kyle Allen.  The guy is a turnover machine and lacks both poise and presence.

I can verify what the original poster said.  I watched the same feed and heard it too. It was during commercial break and you could tell it was an accidental live mic. 

Thank you for confirming what I heard.

 

It was definitely a hot mic moment, before halftime. I think it was after Kyle Allen's first INT.

I have serious doubts about the credibility of this. You didn't hear BEANE saying it?  You claim one  of the announcers shared that Beane told him this? I don't believe  Beane is that

reckless and stupid.


There’s a pretty simple solution.  Call into Movin the Chains between 3-7pm on Sirius.  Mills is opposite pat kirwan and anyone can ask him directly.  See how he responds.

Guy thought he was gonna stroll in here as Josh’s friend and coast to a cozy career backup job. This is why you don’t consult players, even the elite, on personnel decisions. Josh Allen is making a quarter of a billion dollars to play quarterback, not GM.
