Lol…. Reporters ask a GM about RBs: GM answers question regarding RBs; guy makes a thread about Beane and RBs; @ScottLaw: Beane can’t stop thinking about running backs.

fair take. Minus the bolded- Over the chiefs? Yes…..we beat them….. in KC. Then we lost Von Miller. Did KC win the SB without Chris Jones? No…..he was healthy and dominated. KC was very healthy cone playoffs and won the SB. They were the best healthy team standing. OT helps that they have a great coaching staff. over the bengals, sure, we can beat them. They’ve lost a bunch of very good players. They’re about to pay Burrow and Higgins their talent level will be less and less every year going forward. They’re a great team….but they aren’t unbeatable by any means. Leslie is gone and the D is on McD now. I think that will be an upgrade as I think McD will be more aggressive and less predictable. we had a rookie OC who was in over his head and learning; a RT coming off back surgery; lost 2 all pro defenders and a third was injured all year. All pro corner coming back from acl; we had a team mate die on the field; the owner/President had a heart attack and was in bad shape. On top of all that, we had Rodger Saffold playing Lg all year……. And we beat the chiefs. In KC. People act as if that didn’t happen and the chiefs rolled us. Cinci rolled us….. and may again- but they’ve lost some very good players and will continue to lose more. Can we win the SB next year? Absolutely. Will we? Who knows. If we stay healthy we have as good a shot as anyone.

Ok, so the top OG and the top 2 OT….Got it. Ask the chiefs fans how much of an upgrade Brown would be over Dawkins. They’d tell you that Dawkins is better. And less expensive. how many RBs has Beane signed? How many OL? How many WRs? All while you talk about RBs.

Sorry but, “I would find a way” is code for “I have no clue”. No one seems to have any clue what he’s looking for. He and the other McGovern are the top FA IOL and both are looking at Chris Lindstroms deal and hoping to cash in on it. Not to the tune of 20m, but I’m sure their agents are trying to use it in negotiating. I’d love to land him too….he was every Bills fans #target this offseason- but it’s possible the price tag might be too high. I’d love Bergeron and Jeudy- I don’t know if trading 27 for him is the best idea (without getting a later pick in return)…. But I’d sign off on it.

Maybe we should be the first team to start 2 nose tackles? 😳 We need pressure up the middle. Teams pass a lot more often then they run. Trading Ed isn’t a problem….but we have to replace him properly.

This is a fair assessment. Which WRs were/are you hoping we’d sign or trade for?

McGovern = nothing. 👌 Literally nothing?

A’Shawn plays the 3T? 🫤

Who did you want to load up on along the OL? Who were your targets? maybe should’ve done like the Bengals…. And signed Cody Ford

So we can suck? That’s obv the plan Dude said he was underrated and would happy to have him back….. and this is the reply? A bit much imo

One of the reasons Diggs is easily taken out of the game is the coaching (and maybe Josh) doesn’t take advantage of the double team properly. All we did was take big shot after big shot. Meanwhile, the underneath stuff was open and neglected. We watched KC dink and dunk their way to another Lombardi, while we throw haymakers 50 yards downfield all game. sure, another alpha WR would help. And I’ve said that we need to upgrade WR2, but it might have to be a WR2 and not a 1b. You can’t suck blood from a stone. This offseason is lacking in WR talent- especially 1b alpha talent.

I love Bellinger. Wish had him. He’s a baller

Sigh

And your only play, getting a 1B, is also an if…. It’ll be worth it IF we win the Super Bowl. And that still wouldn’t prove that we couldn’t have won without a 1b. Mahomes did. I feel we can. More so, even if we get a 1b, we’ll still need a combination of the same “ifs” to occur to win. If Dorsey sucks, we’re in trouble. If the OL sucks- 1b isn’t likely to change things that drastically imo. If both Dorsey and the OL suck (again) we’re screwed no matter regardless of 1b

The WR might just have to be WR2. The chiefs didn’t have a WR1b they had a handful of solid WRs and Kelce- I think we can win with a handful of solid WRs and Diggs. What matters much more than getting a 1b compared to a 2 is Ken Dorsey making good progress as an OC, Spencer Brown + Bates+ McGovern improving and staying healthy.

Well said. For the right price

I’d take him for the minimum but would prefer to draft one in rds 1-5

And they’ll continue to do this every year. Just like we will

No. It’s about winning the Super Bowl. That can be done many ways when constructing a roster. The best roster offense doesn’t always win the Super Bowl. That’s not how it works every year. Coaching, defense, injuries, refs, STs. Lots goes into it. We’ll NEVER be able to give Josh was Mahomes has until Reid is out the door. trading away all of our future assets in order to have a better offensive roster than KC and Cinci is reckless. you act like trading up for a WR will automatically give us a better offense than Cinci and KC. Some see it the opposite. That trading down and accumulating more picks give us more weapons and OL. Trading up would only subtract a potential starter giving Josh less. we can improve our offense in a multitude of ways- not just the way you feel is best Trading for hopkins isn’t the same amount of money as trading for Hopkins bro. so because we can’t trade for Poyer, we can’t spend money on d. that makes no sense

Yeah…:injuries aren’t random. Look up how many games hyde, Poyer and tredavious missed prior to 2021. How many games had Ed and Daquan missed? How about Rousseau? You’re talking about one guy, Von Miller I stopped reading after that. You’re a troll.

How about we wait a couple days or a week to do this?

Yup- and we won with our roster (minus Tre). Someone said it wasn’t good enough- but it was. We suffered significant injuries- the other team didn’t

It’s over the top- we aren’t making the cap room for hopkins or Obj- maybe jeudy— you want a splash and won’t be content until Beane goes completely all in (that’s what a hopkins trade would be unless he took a major pay cut). He’s already moved a lot of money down the road and will continue to do so year after year. But I doubt you’ll ever see him cripple his ability to move money around. A hopkins trade would likely do just that. obj is smoking crack- he might deserve 7M per year on a one year deal. jeudy- makes sense- but you can’t say the offseason is a failure because a GM fails to acquire the one guy that would fit your criteria. It’s a poor WR class- it’s bad luck- but possibly compromising the future to fill a need is a mistake imo. I think a 2nd rd WR + Harty as the main additions at WR is solid considering what was available and what we paid for them without compromising the future. Sure adding jeudy would be great, but a 2nd round WR could be similarly productive- let’s not act like Jeudy has been a star. Addison 💯 Flowers- not 💯 but would be on board if he’s the pick.

Meh. Would’ve preferred someone more mobile- but he’s Josh’s boy and the QB room is a boys club-

You’re right- I had him on ignore and was caught at a moment of weakness to see how ignorant is post would be- lo and behold.
