I mean even the GM by getting a new wr admits the poster was wrong.

Like anyone who was being rational could see this WR group was lacking but there's this way over-inflated amount of grace and credibility to a regime that has really underperformed with an elite QB. We're a franchise with a top 3 and we've had 3 Divisional Round losses in a row and nothing has improved or progressed since the AFC title game back in 2020. If we're being real...a healthy amount of skepticism is what McBeane have really earned here. But instead you get this sentiment of "You're all doomers if you say anything negative about this WR group! You just don't understand the talent and game the way we and McBeane do!" Being a realist is not being a doomer, that's something that was conflated with this topic and many others here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year This year Diggs Coleman Davis Samuel Shakir Shakir Harty Hollins Sherfield MVS There's obviously a huge question mark with Coleman, as with any rookie WR but should be dynamic in this O. I'm huge on Shakir, I really think he's going to be a stud this year and eclipse 1k yards. Huge fan of Samuel, he does it all, you can put this guy anywhere, including the backfield and he's explosive and makes plays and that was on a terrible O with terrible QB play. Skys the limit, loved the signing. Hollins is interesting but he's an elite run blocker , which Brady has shown, we're running the ball, bottom line , and not a great year statistically last year but I could see him having his 22 season where he put up 57 rec 690 yards 4 TDs. This was Gabe his first 2 years and this is his replacement for much cheaper. Plus he's a certified leader.. MVS , yes the drops and statistically wasn't great in the regular season but you can argue he's the reason KC won the SB. In our game he had 62 yards, 17 more yards than Kincaid who was our top guy w 45 yards. Would've loved to have him in January last year. Made huge big , long catches. Meanwhile Diggs is dropping wide open TDs which win us that game.. And at 6 , Claypool, Hamler, Shorter etc will fight it out Bottom line , this is a much deeper WR group. Harty/Sherfield were busts, they were awful. And with Gabe injured vs KC, it showed how weak our depth was. No offense, but I never want to see Andy Isabella playing in a playoff game and that won't happen again with the depth added. Sherfield/Harty also had no business being out there. Obviously Coleman is a huge key to this group and puzzle but I see no reason he can't be the guy we expect him to be. Plus Kincaid year 2. Cook year 3. Upgraded RB room This is going to be a fun O to watch. Probably the best we've seen with Allen because of WR depth, elite RB/TE and Brady calling plays *Not to crap on Diggs, I really admire his game and intensity, I have him as my profile picture but the fact that Beane ate 30+ mil and took a future 2, clearly they thought he was just to disruptive in the locker room, as a leader. The Cincy game leaving his teammates, as a captain, speaks volumes. McBeane has built this team on family and doing your 1/11th on o and d and Diggs just didn't fit that culture. Good luck but good riddance * MOST COMPLETE O IN THE GAME, EASYYYYYYYY I'm still cracking up about how wrong your post was. Every receiver has looked like garbage. Thank God we traded for a real weapon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a realist is not being a doomer, that's something that was conflated with this topic and many others here. I think your being slightly to harsh on Beane in terms of underperforming. He doesn't coach the team and was not responsible for 13 seconds nor the lack of defense vs CIN. I would argue Beane is close to a top 5-10 gm league wide and without a doubt the better of the GM Coach combo that currently exists. Additionally COVID effectively screwed some of the cap work he done to maximize Josh's rookie contract and it gave him one chance to go big which was Von and unfortunately has not gone as hoped. I have my criticisms of Beane and the WR corp especially you could see from the moment Diggs and Davis left they were hoping for a lot of growth which didn't feel realistic. To his credit he addressed it even if later then we all wanted. WR is probably his biggest buggaboo draft wise as his best selection so far was Gabe Davis. His best WR moves to date are all trade or FA related, he certainly has not hit yet on anyone (Coleman too early to judge). My trust with Beane is vastly different vs McD who I think knows he has until 2025 season to make it or he is out. Looking at the team and its failures to break through since 2019 my finger is pointed far quicker and stronger at McD then the GM as I would argue all of the losses have had coaching mistakes that created failure. Last year is probably the only playoff loss under McD where I have little to gripe with given the needed gameplan because of the injuries and the one I would look more at the GM at. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If losing to them is “underperforming” so be it. KC is a wagon. They beat everyone. The other loss is to another “elite QB”. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
