Giant elephant in room. Beane

He’ll be 35-36 before we have a reasonable out. 

And thus without tearing his ACL gives us a couple years to win with him.  If he continues to struggle shut him down and offer an injury settlement.

[BillsVet]

Beane's inability to resource an offense is not a coincidence that it perfectly complements the HC's lack of knowledge about NFL offense.

Yes but a six year contract for a thirty five year old player who relies on speed and flexibility was pretty dumb.  Contract should been three years tops

It’s effectively a 3 year deal is it not?

[Mrbojanglezs]

Some good moves but a couple bad drafts in the first 3 rounds has set this team back in terms of young depth 

[Chaos]

Beane built a team to peak last season.  It didn't work. This season was a wing and a prayer with an aging secondary and hoping ACLs tears fully recovered for a CB and your main Pass Rusher.  Competent coaching might have made due with the the wing and prayer.  But the Bills head coach is stale and figured out.  Every team in the NFL has a 2 minute script to beat the Bills and it works every single time this year.   
 

But other than the GMs for the chiefs and the eagles. Its not clear that there are any dramactically better GMs in the league.

He’s been bad. Really bad.

 

cap situation is a disaster, multiple day two picks are wasted and we are left with aging players at positions now costing us games.

 

he hit on Allen, made a nice trade for 14. 
 

what else?

Exactly what second round picks has a missed

 

People used to say it was Terrell Bernard but he’s turning out to be a stud

Now 4 since we restructured him this year and kicked more gauranteed money down the road. Stuck with him for 2 more years now.

Epenesa was brutal for 3 seasons. 0 contributions. He’s a miss. Sorry. 
 

boogie basham is a miss, ford colossal miss.

 

Elam is a disaster.
 

james cook in round 2? all the other assets invested in RB in rounds 3?

 

he’s neglecting significant areas of roster for the same

mistakes.

Or resign Floyd. DE and DT are a need going forward.

And Epenesa is playing well now.  So not a lose.  Anyway you asked for one other than Josh and Oliver more than fills the bill there.

Boogie Basham, Cody Ford, Aj Epenesa, James Cook.

Beane is from NC

Beane is terrible when it comes to spending money.

Epenesa and cook are not misses

[Since1981]

I’m a Beane supporter. 

But he has whiffed on WR2, WR3. It’s a legit problem. McBeane insistence on DL over WR2 is wrong call.

You pleased with james cook?

if you knew now what you know aboit

AJ would you have drafted him 4 years ago in second round?

Epenesa is fine. I don’t want to pay him though.

I'm not so worried about it. The Cap is a myth, and there are plenty of tricks and levers to pull. We'll be cutting a bunch of old contracts this offseason; White, Poyer, Morse, Harty, gives us over $24M alone. None of those will be too difficult to replace.

[dayman]

He made moves to push us for a SB run last year and this year. Injuries and coaching took that away. He is to blame for no speed on offense but ultimately a lot of the complaints are really just that we got hurt and didn’t win. He knew what he was doing he just missed.

lol some of these post-loss threads are wild.

maybe we can make better threads when we watch the other teams in playoff games. 

[TheyCallMeAndy]

No GM is perfect, I think he’s safe another year. He had some bad FA signings this summer, but I believe they are 1 year deals. Von was a big gamble that hasn’t worked due to the injury, but few complained when the deal went down.

you've seen enough offseasons around here to know that aint true!
