ganesh

And who can help them immediately....Tremaine Edmunds pick is exactly that.

I agree...Having a Franchise QB and a sane HC keeps the team in the playoff hunt every year !!!! Bill and Tom Ben and Tomlin Brees and Peyton Wilson and Pete Those are the constants for successful franchise.

well said. I think that is a fair assessment. Hope Allen will get the opportunity to overcome such a pitfall! Go Bills!

Including Marsha!

Retirement of Cognito is a big loss. He was the key to several of Shady's runs. Between him and Wood, they paved the path for Shady. And we haven't had a NFL caliber Right Tackle for a long time. The OL is a mess and requires significant attention. I am not saying their replacements are incapable...but they are unproven.

I don't buy into it...Rosen hada 6-5 record and is probably as much a project (All College QBs entering NFL are projects) in the 1st year as Allen. Each of them do their own individual things well, but as a whole package have several flaws...Without proper experience and coaching in the NFL they will be eaten alive.

Fair enough to not yet judge Beane but on the performance of his first draft...even though you have aleady come to a judgement that he did "foolish" things...which we will have to wait and see. Sean has enough confidence in Beane's abilities; so he will get a pass for now until the results show up and that is tied with how McDermott plans to bring Allen along. Being "good on offense" is to be compared with the teams that are super on offense like a Green Bay, New Orleans, Atlanta, New England and Pittsburgh. WE definitely are not anywhere close to that level on offense, especially over the last 17 years. We have been good on defense, especially recently in the Schwartz years..but we did not have the continuity and we have fallen apart due to drafting for the scheme rather than finding the best players...and we are undoing that again and again in a cycle...Hopefully this is the final cycle before we can confidently says that we will be a 4-3 hybrid team for the next 10 years!!!!

Wouldn't the same questions be asked for any of the QBs that we would have picked....If we had picked Rosen, then the same questions apply...What has the "coaches" got to do with your skepticism of the Allen pick?

Starting RT

This!

They made the playoffs after 17 years!!!!! That is a start!

Welcome to the Allen-Darnold rivalry

We need to first go through TC and see who takes the top position...

score points!!!!

I don't think Doug had a choice. Rex Ryan was thrust on him by the Pegulas who were blown away by Rex's interview!!!

Landry Jones in the opportunities given probably played better than our starting QB!!

You mean without the 11 players from the opposite side !!!

this!

There is always Cleveland to beat you to the punch there!!!

And lose 30% of the fan base!!!! Not happening!

Firstly Nix and Modrak are from a different era...they were GM/AGM a decade ago. It is not apples to apples comparison with Beane. Whaley came from the Steelers organization who are known to be methodical and detailed oriented...They have the same pedigree as you think Beane and team have. The problem I think is that Whaley was disconnected with the HC because the HC's were not his choice...He was working under the Owners orders...That is tough to overcome.

Hard for WRs to be in the discussion as it takes them time to adjust to the NFL

great post. It is not that our past front office has been bad or anything, as there are only 32 GM positions in the world of NFL. What makes these guys a little different is their attention to details; small things that make a big difference in perception and attitude. small things that bring success and that in turn breeds success. And you then get some luck to go with it!!!

It is the strong work ethic to overcome their deficiencies.

He does look a little like Sheldon on screen!!!!
