Look who the cat dragged in. 🤣

Yes, it's what he does for the pass rush which was significantly better with him. Same as when he was with the Rams.

Does this mean Brady knows who he wants at OC? Seems you'd typically hire your OC first?

Yes. It also doesn't have to be Brady who makes that statement.

I’d expect an opening statement that tries to preempt the negative and the past, “this is about the future”.

This exactly. I think the debate suffers from" the devil we know vs the devil we don't." Reminds me of a search committee I was on where the final two candidates were and insider and an outsider, the committee went with the "fresh" outsider because people knew the little issues with the insider. Two years later, the choice was a disaster for the program, and the insider went on to head a very successful program elsewhere. That said, in this case, and as you state, we won't know the answer until a year from now.

This is a pretty good assessment. Some minor things: I wouldn't mind seeing DT Mathis back; Hopefully CB Strong will recover and add to the depth at boundary; thoughts on Crosby instead of Bosa?

Bad game day decisions also matter. McD was a great culture and process guy, but game day, not so much.

Just looked at the last 10 SB winning coaches, and 9/10 have been from the offensive side of the ball.

Offense or Defense tilt? It doesn't matter as long as you get a really good coach who can make tough, split-second decisions in big games. McD almost always came up short.

This was not the point of my response to the poster. I simply pointed out a counterfactual to the comment that Beane never used high draft capital on a WR. One might quibble that he did not "literally" draft a WR, but trading your R1 pick is functionally equivalent. To your point, you wanted him to spend more, every year apparently. Fine.

That was pointed at the poster who said Beane didn't draft any WR in the early rounds--he used their R1 pick to get Diggs. That is an example of using high draft capital for the position. Your point is that he needed to do more.

Another possibility here is Beane didn't think Keon had a grade that justified picking him at 28, so he moved back to get him at 33, which was more consistent with his grade and bringing consensus??

He traded a first round pick for Diggs. Does that count as valuing the position?
