I think, at the end of the day, drafting a player to fit a very specific role within a position isn’t the best way to make a decision. LM was and is the far better player. Hoping KC can close that gap. When your GM sternly calls you out in his post season presser? Definitely NOT the way you want to put a bow on your rookie season. Talking to you too DK.

Justin Fields was 4-2 last year. He didn’t set the world on fire but he was relatively efficient and won. That was my point. He’s not Peterman. He’s a little more like Tyrod was. He can make a few plays and if he manages mistakes (which Tyrod did better than Fields) you can win with him. Again, I think Fields is probably a bottom 5 starting QB. The point that I’m trying to make is that I’d rather have QB 28 at $20M than QB 21 at $53M. Your ceiling is the exact same with either guy calling the shots. You can maybe get to the WC round. Purdy is a better player than Fields but not by a lot (especially last year). Give me the slightly worse player that’s way cheaper, every day.

But Fox and right wing media would cover it up just the same for Trump if he was declining. That audio from Trump would be leaked to the media within hours. 😂

I actually think he’s pretty good too. I also think, that he played with the NFL’s best roster for a year and a half. This past year, the roster was a little worse and he was below average to bad IMO. That tweet doesn’t necessarily say it but he didn’t impact winning at all. The focus turned to him and he went 6-9. I know that they had injuries, but you could have had LOTS of QBs win at least 6 games in that situation. With this contract, he will never have rosters as good as his first couple of years again. Their rosters will look more like 2024 when he steered them to 6 wins. It’s a tricky situation though. I don’t know what you would do differently? As the 49ers GM, you had to pay him. You could do a lot worse than him as a player. The problem is, the second you sign him to that deal, you’re resigned to mediocrity until you can get out from the contract. It’s not just Purdy either. It’s Tua, Derek Carr, it’s Cousins, it’s Geno, it’s Watson, it’s Darnold and maybe even Murray, Love, Goff and Lawrence. They’re all a little different but committing to a mediocre QB, above $25M AAV is bad business.

Coaching decisions.

I was not in favour of drafting Coleman. I liked Ladd quite a bit more but would not have favoured a slot in round 1. I wanted the Bills to draft an outside receiver. That was what this offense needed IMO. Instead they decided BTJ wasn't worth a trade up then passed on Worthy and Legette to draft a big slot in Keon Coleman. If you were gonna take Coleman then you'd have been better taking Ladd IMO.

Like the game of Clue I say it was Obama thru Susan Rice in the White House with the Autopen.

This is flat out laughable.

Well, additional ammo as an article came out this morning Roquan Smith wants payback for the Ravens home opener so is talking trash. Let’s hope that favored status pays off and we shut him up. I’ll never understand the stupidity of players who create bulletin board material for their opponents. Thankfully, I haven’t seen Bills players in the McBeane era ever give their opponents the satisfaction to talk trash.

Hey. That game got Gabe paid $2.1m per catch playing for the Jaguars.

This is like 2018 all over with you guys again. You pry wanted Josh Rosen and Beane took Josh Allen. Now you have the gull to question Beane when it comes to constructing an offense? Again, this isn't fantasy football.

We had a +24 turnover differential last year. +8 more than any other team. That might happen once every couple of decades. We were 10th in total offense last year. Good, not great, especially considering a great offensive line and an MVP quarterback. We clearly lacked explosiveness and playmaking at the receiver position, and haven't done much to address it.

Beane needs to stop worrying about position so much and take the best player available. You couldn’t trade 5 Coleman’s to get 1 Ladd in return. Stick with BPA always and figure it out

A year ago I guess I get it. I just don't understand it now. We lead the league in points when you include postseason. No one scored more points than us last year though than us, including the Super Bowl champions. We did it last year without Stefon Diggs. How is this group not better than last year's group? The offenses job is to score points. I get that we need something to fight about in the off-season but we need to stop bitchin' about WR's.

Can you explain the 49 year td vs Houston where he faked the Houston db out of his jock on a short pass and then ran 40 yards down the sideline leaving the Houston defense in a cloud of dust if all he can do is catch jump balls?

I see him moving down the depth chart, but there's no way he doesn't get another year unless he shows up out of shape or with attitude issues. But yes, I can see a world where a kid like Prather overtakes him as early as this year. The way Beane called him out is very concerning. I believe he ultimately goes down as a bust.

Hot garbage who was averaging 20 yards a catch before his wrist injury and made some pretty explosive plays along the way. Why is it so many analysts, and I use the term loosely, think these guys are a finished product coming out of college? Lets give this kid an opportunity to improve. If he sucks after three years Ill start listening to the hot garbage take. Plenty of great players dont 'pop' until their second or third year.

Remember, the Dems and the media crucified Hur over this.

Then maybe the pick should have been Ladd. Don’t resign Shakir. Then there’s more $ for other players or James cook. It just gets back to roster building for me. You pick the best player available because the dominos that fall year to year either way have a big impact. instead beane picked based on need. Again. time will tell. But Coleman is going to be worse gave Davis type target black hole if the bills keep playing him outside.

The reason it gets constantly and justifiably brought up is the fact that we are still somewhat deficient in our wr room. I like the speed additions that BB brought in with Moore/Palmer. We had 40 tds scored last season from non wrs. So the contribution table of that 8 game streak of 30 pts is a little skewed. On the biggest drive of our season in KC, James was out and our receiving corps did not clutch up. That's a problem. We're all rooting for Coleman and patience is necessary. I give every Bills player for the last 60 years at least 3 full seasons to prove yourself. That's why this is such a critical year for Dalton. As @Robb Riddick said we could all have egg on our face? But the Bills still desperately need to find that fast twitch replacement for Diggs. A wr DC's have to gameplan. And we haven't done that yet. No one is gameplanning for Coleman & Kincaid right now. That's a problem.

Just want to say hi to everyone in September or October who come back to bump this thread when Coleman scores a big TD or gets a 100 yard game. How are you all doing? Can you believe another Chiefs player has been arrested and the Jets are winless?

Always find it comical, half this board has the patience of my 7 yr old. Coleman wasn't even drinking age when we drafted him LY...cue the Edmunds jokes. People need to learn patience and very few on here see the traits as to why Beane drafted him, and can project those. Now will Coleman hit that ceiling, up to him. But he has put on more muscle, looks quicker this offseason. Based on how we use him (Adot 15.2), we needed him improve his strenghth at route breaks and mainly downfield at the catch point. He's a freak athlete, I could careless about his forty. He gets stronger at the catch point, that won't matter. He's also one of the WRs Josh coveted out of last years class. Point being, player progression year 1 to year 2 is a big deal. James Cook, Terrel Bernard, Shakir, Spencer Brown...list goes on. This team has a knack for getting year 2 jumps, Kincaid aside. Give this kid a chance before you write him off - he showed glimpses last year, has been working his tail off this offseason.

The Draft is a crapshoot. You win some and lose some
