I sure hope we as fans don't just settle for continuity. We don't just accept 10+ win seasons only to get bounced long before we sniff a SB. And if the Pegulas are somewhat clueless and Terry is distracted over Kim's condition, that only further protects McB. They may get another 2-3 year pass playing Marty ball before someone gets fed up. They absolutely can't screw up draft or FA picks anymore.

Completely agree. The back injury has nothing to do with how slow Spencer's feet are. RG is probably his only hope of staying on a roster but you don't normally want a 6-8 guy playing Guard. Unfortunately I think they must delegate him to backup for the next 2 years.

The Myth of the Bills over-focusing on defense in the Draft and FA
LABILLBACKER replied to folz's topic in The Stadium Wall
This FO makes a career finding DE's that don't live up to their draft slots. -
Jersey Number Changes: A Way Too Early Topic

Why was Kumerow even here? Maybe he can find a cave with Aaron. -
The Myth of the Bills over-focusing on defense in the Draft and FA
LABILLBACKER replied to folz's topic in The Stadium Wall
If I'm Beane I'm firing half my scouting dept. It's brutal to see us swing and miss on so many draft picks these last 5 years. And frankly most of our FA acquisitions haven't been earth shattering. But even a moron knows you start by building a dominant OL around Josh. In 5 years we've drafted 2 olineman in the first 3 rounds. Ford was a bust and Brown probably will be too. Maybe the true problem with the Bills organization is how they incentivize their scouts. -
A picture of Von Miller and D Henry
LABILLBACKER replied to Warriorspikes51's topic in The Stadium Wall
If the OL is not getting fixed by spending 12M/ yr on Henry. Would the OL be any less fixed spending 2M on Bijan? I personally don't want either but at least with Robinson he cost controlled for 5 years. Eventually Beane's gotta run into some good drafted olineman? Even a blind squirrel finds a nut occassionally. -
The Myth of the Bills over-focusing on defense in the Draft and FA
LABILLBACKER replied to folz's topic in The Stadium Wall
Someone explain to OP that 1st round pick has substantially more allocation points than a 6th or 7th round pick. The offensive players brought in from FA are dumpster dives. This math doesn't work. It's not just quantity, it's quality from 1st round draft picks to bottom of the barrel FA pick ups.- 89 replies

Lamar Jackson wants guarantees that exceed Watson contract
LABILLBACKER replied to SCBills's topic in The Stadium Wall
Completely agree....and that Watson contract is an absolute outlier. You may see guys get up to 50M, but that percentage of guarantee is not happening anytime soon. Lamar not having an agent is also a big mistake. -
I don't care what their personal instincts are anymore. What Brady did to cover up Bill's reluctance to surround him with amazing weapons was phenomenal. Josh is a great qb. Maybe the most athletic qb to ever come to Buffalo. But as others have accurately said he is prone to the occassional brain fart. He can't absorb a HC hell bent on selecting mostly defensive people. This is where Beane has to step in and say enough. We're giving JA 60% of future assets. If you don't like that Sean then there's the door.
-
For 5 years since acquiring Josh, 60% of cap expenditure has gone to defense. If Beane & Sean want to keep their jobs for the next 5 years those numbers need to flip immediately. Or they will divide and eventually lose the locker room. You know Josh & Stefon are already pissed.

Don't like drafting for need just for need sake.
LABILLBACKER replied to gjv's topic in The Stadium Wall
Exactly....you don't construct a building by starting with the roof. The order of draft urgency since 2019 should've been: 1. OL 2. WR 3. TE 4. RB On top of that they don't have good enough olineman to give Josh 1.8 seconds. Beane can't possibly be this stupid, can he? -
First of all let me go on record as a 55 yr fan as agreeing with this position. Sean and Brandon have rode the good will of pulling the Bills out of the drought long enough. Process & Culture are cute mission statement words but they carry little weight if you can't advance deep in the playoffs with a generational qb. Blowing a 16-0 lead in Houston bothered me. Watching your defense get dismantled the next 2 years angered me. Then the team coming out flat and unprepared at home v Cincy was the final straw. I've compared Sean to Marty 100x and with each game he only validates that comp.

What do his playoff defenses historically rank? That's the real question.
-
It's unfortunate and comical that he spends such high draft picks on mediocre RB's when the irony is we really don't run that much. Wouldn't it make common sense to load up on a dominant OL if I know I have an elite throwing qb? Then after that draft wrs. I'm targeting rbs late in the draft or udfa's. Look at the production Andy got out of Pacheco.

Tomlin has 2 rings to keep secure. Who knows if clappy will ever snif one.
-
That's exactly why eventually Josh will get fed up with this organizational philosophy. If McB doesn't go hard on OL, WR, etc this April, I could see a slow divide begin. At the very least the contract controlled olineman should've been acquired in 19, 20, 21. You ask your superstar qb to do 85% of the offensive production while Abbott & Costello waste picks on defensive busts.
