ganesh

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!!!!

or the most exciting talent of the draft Thank you Gettlemen for allowing us to make this happen!!!

This is hard to understand. Teams have dramatically improved by changing one or two players in the area of need. For example, when we added Mount Washington to our DL, we became the #1 against rush (or something close)...When we lost Pat Williams, our run defense sucked!! As recently, when Mario Williams was on the line, our sack totals were big; without him not so much as teams are double-teaming Hughes.

+1. Beane has stated that if Allen wins in TC/PS then he will be the starter. However, he also stated that McAaron and Peterman are already ahead of the curve due to the off season program. So the pressure is on Allen to learn the play book the next three months to outshine during TC/PS. And I pray to god that the Bills don't hit the same issue as with Losman, when he was knocked out for the year with the broken leg..I think that severely reduced Losman's ability to learn through the first season.

The Steelers thought Rudolph was the best QB among the top six...I am sure their scouting abilities are far better!

We really cannot assume Beane/McDermott == Whaley/<Insert your HC of choice>

Murphy is coming back from a tough injury. I hope he recovers completely.

Agree..and we play the first 5 of 7 on the Road

cool thanks...Of course without twitter, mobiles, internet, most of the news would have had to come from Talk show radios and News papers and those take time..so no immediate impacts..

Lorax will be a downgrade..He appeared to have lost a step last year.

Who are the pass Rushers? Hughes always tries going too wide...Lawson has not shown anything with this regime

Was there any talk about trading up for Elway in that draft ?

But his own HC had zero confidence in him

Hoping for the rust-belt to come back into dominance.

or may be use his quick release to move the chains like Marino did.

Does this mean that Rosen will need a stud OL to be successful in the NFL?

This might be for the old timers who kept track of drafts (I did only after 1990)... We had four QBs go in the 83 draft with Kelly taken ahead of Marino. Considering the college resume of Miami. was there hair splitting in Buffalo at picking the wrong QB from Pennsylvania? In the end it did not matter as both Kelly and Marino had stellar careers where they took their teams to SuperBowls (albeit never won one) and enshrined themselves in the HOF.

Beane doesn't get to annoit a player's status. That is up to the HC.
