Rigotz Posted January 11 Posted January 11 Thought it might be interesting, as we head into the playoffs, to discuss a few times in recent seasons that we were all wrong and Brandon Beane was right: - "Wrong Josh" - don't you wish you had Josh Rosen right now? - "Undersized LB" - letting Tremaine Edmunds walk and replacing him with a tiny LB in Terrel Bernard?? Disaster! - "Pay Shaq! Pay Phillips! Pay Poyer!" - Beane let all of them walk and all of them came back on cheaper contracts. - "Don't pay Ed!" - Remember your reaction when you saw the big Ed Oliver contract? - "Another RB who can't handle a full workload!" - Cook is way too small to ever be a true lead back. - "Pay Gabe Davis" - what a difference a year makes. Wish we locked Gabe up last year at $12M/yr. - "FIRE MCDERMOTT" - this would have been Beane's call, if it happened. I'm sure there are many more, but those are just from the top of my head. How about that Rasul Douglas trade? 2022 Draft Class: 1st - Elam - TBD 2nd - Cook - STUD 3rd - Bernard - STUD 5th - Shakir - STUD 6th - Benford - STUD 7th - Spector - Possibly good depth! 2023 Draft Class: 1st - Kincaid - STUD 2nd - Torrence - STUD 3rd - Dorian - TBD 5th - Shorter - TBD 7th - Broeker + Austin - our team was too deep to keep them Beane has been en fuego. Do you have any others? 13 9 4 6 Quote
GoBills808 Posted January 11 Posted January 11 I very much appreciate how many legitimate NFL players he has been able to find drafting where we have My quibble is that we haven't gotten true difference makers and we haven't done enough on offense 6 2 8 1 Quote

Do you have any others? Bye and large I see your point and agree... however to the bolded: Cook has been phenomenal. However it remains to be seen if his body can withstand the kind of workload it saw this year, year in and year out. My guess is we bring in another back to give him somewhat of a decrease in snaps throughout the season to save some wear and tear. Gabe Davis: A bit too soon to spike the football on this. It still wouldn't shock me it he gets signed after the season. They love him. Not firing McD has NOTHING to do with Beane. That is a Pegula call. The way the chain of command is is that Sean and Brandon are on equal footing. They both report to Pegula. Neither is they others boss. But again, agree with the tome and general point here. 1 Quote

Goin Breakdown Posted January 11 Posted January 11 As much as we like many of the guys we have drafted, most of them just add to the depth of the team which is strong I might add. We need a couple legit home runs. A couple josh Allen's at different positions. 2 1 1 Quote

In limeaids defense you did say "we were all wrong". You can't get salty at him for stating that not all posters shared in all of those thoughts. 3 Quote

Do you have any others? Gabe Davis at 12M a year would be an absolute disaster. They will re-sign him but they shouldn't. He is the same or worse than he always has been. Calling Elam TBD is a stretch, McDermott doesn't like him despite what he says publicly. Edited January 11 by MWK 1 1 1 Quote
Big Turk Posted January 11 Posted January 11 (edited) 4 minutes ago, GoBills808 said: Imo not yet no Cook finished 6th in the NFL in total yards, 18 yards from 4th. What does he need to do, finish 1st and have a 1000 yard lead over 2nd place? Kincaid broke the Bills franchise reception mark in a season for TEs in his rookie year. He has been increasingly a difference maker as the season has gone on and will be headed to elite territory in the next year or two. Edited January 11 by Big Turk 4 3 3 Quote

I like cook, he's got a lot of potential But if your go to play on third/fourth and short is still QB keep you don't have a great RB 1 3 2 Quote

We need a couple legit home runs. A couple josh Allen's at different positions. It's a lot harder hitting homeruns with playoff draft slots. The homeruns, on a % basis, are mostly top 10 picks. Remember when Cincy beat us last year & everyone was pointing to their draft pick homeruns Burrow & Chase who were top pick & top 5 pick. Edited January 11 by Albany,n.y. 1 2 Quote

Why would you trade a play with a near 100% success rate for one that has about a 60% success rate AT BEST? No NFL coach in their right mind is trading as close to a guarantee for something slightly better than 50/50 and if they are, they won't be an NFL head coach too long. This isn't 1970 anymore. Gotta stay with the times. Edited January 11 by Big Turk 1 1 Quote
