I know he was working out with CeeDee Lamb this off-season.

Agreed.

I would point out here that some of the Bills best players like Bernard, Benford, Brown, and Cook were 2nd round or lower.

I get you, and agree on the guys you listed.

I wish some of you had been around in the earlier days. You’d go to the Rockpile and guys would carry cases of Genny into the stadium, and with their buddy drink the whole thing during the game. Back in the late 60’s, early 70’s it was the only way to keep your sanity.

And he drafted guys like Taron, Groot, Brown, Benford, Bernard, Oliver that have made impacts. The problem with this chat room in general is twofold: 1. Impatience. Some expect a player has to be great year 1, and improve from there. 2. Black and white. Some believe you either have to be an All Pro to have “impact”, or you’re a bum. No in between. We have a solid roster of players that are doing a good job, otherwise they would not have the records they’ve had the past several seasons.

He needs to play like he did before his injury. With some improvement. Can you expand on your second paragraph statement? Names for example? Or how many 20-22 year olds that Beane drafted that struggled?

Let’s just shoot him. And from now on with rookies if they have one bad outing, the same.

Guys like us at least have the AFL championships to remember. I have to believe God is benevolent enough to give us one Lombardi before we leave the planet!

If I ever move back I’m getting seasons for the Bandits.

I agree with most of this. Beane tends to use FA and of course the trade for Diggs for the WR position. My point is simply that it is premature at best to write off a guy in Coleman that has been on the field for less than one full season.

James Worthy is a retired LA Laker I believe. The Chiefs offense is great because they have a first ballot HOF head coach that is great at calling plays, a first ballot HOF QB who is great at executing the offense, and a first ballot HOF TE that has defied coverage schemes for years. Not because they have great WRs. Look back at the Chiefs drafts the past few years. Guys like Skye Moore, Cornell Powell, Mecole Hardman. Not exactly threats.

Which WRs made the Chiefs offense a juggernaut the past couple years?

So now a day 3 pick who hasn’t played a down in the league is proof Beane is bad at his job. I love this time of year.

I’ll say this as plainly as I can: Coleman was a rookie. He missed time last year in addition to being a rookie. He has things to learn. Like getting back to speed after an injury. Writing him off after just over half a season is ridiculous.
