Eli, Ben, Smith, Watson, Winston, Wentz, Ryan, Flacco, Rodgers, Cam, Luck, Goff, Bradford, Stafford.
Oh.
Eli, Ben, Smith, Watson, Winston, Wentz, Ryan, Flacco, Rodgers, Cam, Luck, Goff, Bradford, Stafford.
Oh.
Yes, sometimes it works when you draft a guy high. And sometimes it doesn't. Would you like me to start listing higher first round QB picks that didn't work out? The list woul be very long (Russell, Couch, etc, etc , etc.)
It is about picking the right guy. Not where you pick him.

I have no doubt they'll draft a QB. But I will bet it's a guy most people don't have on their radar right now. I think they'll be looking for a guy that has run a pro style offense in college, and many of the supposed top guys haven't. Plus we all know what will happen between now and next spring. Already these QBs are getting torn apart and critiqued to a ridiculous extent. Now it's that Darnold throws too many picks, Rosen is a head case. I read somewhere that scouts have Rudolph graded as a third day draft pick. And so on.
So they'll draft a guy. But it's a crap shoot as to who it is. And I'll bet Peterman starts game one next season.

The Sammy trade was stupid, even if you draft a QB high next year you will still need a #1 WR. I would have demanded min #1 pick for Sammy who is only 23 years.
The fact that we have the worst WR'S in the NFL makes this move 10 times worse, our running game will suffer all season as everyone we play will just load the box.
I didn't like the Sammy trade, but I have to admit his relative lack of production in LA makes me wonder if he's as good as I thought he was.

Which qb will we obtain with the 30th pick ? The boneheads in the FO punted on Watson/Mahomes.
Gonna have to draft another corner with it to replace brittle Gaines.
Let's look at some of the starting QBs in the league today:
Rogers: 24th pick
Brady: 6th round
Brees: 2nd round
Prescott: 4th round
Cousins: 4th round
Dalton: 2nd round
Carr: 2nd round
Draft the right guy, not just a guy up high in round 1 because you reach.

Probably the best thing Beane has done won't be visible till the draft. He has significantly added to the talent evaluation staff, brought in several guys who will be GM candidates themselves and overhauled the scouting department. That should show benefits next spring.

If we had been told the team would be 3-2 at the bye week before the season began most everyone here would have taken that. They have fixed the defense after the Ryan debacle, and they have a lot of work to do on the offensive side of the ball. I see the following happening during the next two weeks:
1. Get healthy. Humber will be back. Gaines will be back. Glenn will be healthier. Maybe Mathews is back. Clay probably not. Getting healthier will help.
2. The coaches will do what I understand coaching staffs do during the bye week. They will evaluate film of the first 5 weeks as if they were game planning against us. And they'll identify weaknesses to work on.
3. Roster changes will likely be made. If Clay is out for an extended time, they'll put him on IR and add another TE. Maybe Barnidge. And they will shake up the WR spot, either by brining Reilly up or by brining in a veteran like a Stevie or two.
4. Miller will start again, and it would not surprise me to see them move Glenn over to RT and leave Dawkins at LT. They have to know at this point that Glenn is one of their best tackles; they won't just leave him on the bench. Unless...
5. Trades are a possibility. Possibly trade a Glenn for a WR.
This coaching staff and front office won't panic. They'll make considered decisions and trust the process they've put in place. One game where they cam up short on offense, one game where a play or two turns a loss into a win does not call for wholesale changes and wringing of hands.
-
It would help though! Its not like were going anywhere this year. Our offence is a joke!
Use all the exclamation points you want. It won't make you right.
-
Appreciate the honesty. They're still in it. D played well again today.I thought that this team was a playoff team the last two seasons. Seriously, Rex and Rob's mishandling of the defense was total malpractice.
-
Glenn is strictly an injury situation with Dareus partially being the same. Anyone who thinks Peterman is a better option based on preseason with the available skill players on the team is delusional. It's a silly thought at this juncture of the season.
I agree about Peterman. But if at some point this coaching staff thinks he's the better option they'll play him. No doubt in my mind.
-
There is still a line between personnel and coaching. We shouldn't keep putting them together in our evaluation. The coaching has been good imo the roster building is a question.
Building being the operative word
-
No it is not. Get some folks healthy after the bye week and play the next game.
-
Get Matthews back. Hope Clay heals quickly. And go from there.
And Jones will keep playing. He'll work his way out of it
-
And Whaley built a top five defense and the #1 running game in the NFL, and in the end it wasn't good enough.
The front office's inattention to the offense will kill a season that had potential because of the play of the defense.
Um, trying to win football games. What else do you think they're trying to do?
Be honest now. Did you think this was a playoff team at the beginning of the season? Before you saw how good the defense was? Did you honestly think this team had potential?
Be honest.
-
The FO also drafted White and brought inHyde and Poyer. So the victories based on the string D belongs to them as well.
-
The coaching staff has shown they're about putting who they feel have earned the position on the field. Note Dareus and Glenn, with younger guys playing for them. I have no doubt if they feel Peterman would perform better that they'd start him.
-
Can't take that sack at the end.
-
Needed to see more from TT and the offense today. But now get the bye week, get some people healthy, and get back at it. Still a lot of teams we should beat, Colts, Chargers, Fish and so on. Playoffs still in the picture.
-
Right on man I hope it passes but sadly some of these old timers are also running the hater garbage.
These are discussions of both sides and shows that one side has to use name calling to push their agenda.
I don't have to prove anything to anyone because I really don't care what you think of me. What your doing is trying to discredit me so my opinion doesn't matter. Your no different then this call out thread. I have said many times I'm a die hard fan that spends money and time on my team but you call me a hater. SMH
I don't have a love fest for Tyrod and post a different opinion of him and I'm a hater because of it? Come on man
And now you're being a martyr again. Yes we can use improvement at QB. But yes we are winning with him.
-
I wonder in these kinds of moves whether they tellPhilly to just stay in Buffalo, because it's likely they'll move him on and off the roster as other injuries, matchups present themselves.
-
The old saying - play them one game at a time? There's a reason for that. We'll see how it goes, let's just hope for another solid performance Sunday.
I would say Benoit may not have researched things thoroughly. His comments about our DBs and ignoring how well Poyer has played suggests he didn't watch the D very much.
-
Gurley is probably the best all around RB in football right now. Yes, I would take the Rams offensive weapons over the Bills in a moment if they could trade players. You can't just plug a WR in with a very inexperienced QB with a partial trading camp and no OTAs and expect instant results. It's very relevant. If the Rams lacked other good players ,he would be looked to more frequently. If you think the Bills and Rams offenses are comparable you might want to actually watch the Rams games. The Rams have a potent offense. The Bills Offense sans Watkins is just very boring.
Or, if Sammy was the stud he and others think he is, he'd be open so much that Goff would naturally be throwing it to him more that the other WRs.
Don't get me wrong, I did not like the Sammy trade and wish he was still in the roster. But it may be saying something that a rookie like Cupp seems to be getting at least as many looks, if not more, than Sammy.
-
I realize I have gone over the top here. I will back off, but will remain steadfast in thinking that some of the feelings expressed here are absurdly antiquated. If you were being sarcastic and I didn't pick up my bad. But I am sure that some here actually harbor anti-women sentiments. And as the father of two successful and independent young women I call such comments out when I read them.
-
You are seriously !@#$ing retarded.
If you were being sarcastic fine. If you believe this misogynistic crap you can stick it. And if you want to call names like this we can meet somewhere.
-
Why Glenn to RT? Glenn is a very solid LT and we run much better off of him when he is in. If anything, put Dawkins at RT.
I agree. I was trying to look at it from coaches' perspective. If they reallly like Dawkins at LT Glenn could be another House Ballard at RT. Either way it would be nice to have two good tackles.
Chill the heck out...

And?? They will review things and make changes, as I said. Correct?
