Victory Formation

With all due respect Yolo, I know you’re a TBD legend and for good reason, but this is embarrassing for us. The only thing we can do is focus on the long play. If these guys come back week 7 and ball out, that’s probably best case scenario for us..

I’ve weighed those things in as well. Beane could be a good guy, he could be an axe murderer for all I know…. The only thing I can accurately judge him by is his performance.

Well this has aged like fine wine! I went from a C- to a B and now I’m at a D+.

I appreciate your kindness and good attitude but once again, Beane has flubbed the dub in many other areas as well. To me my anger has been accumulating over time. It’s not just one said thing. It’s trading Wyatt Teller for a 5th round pick. It’s signing Von Miller to a $100M contract, it’s taking Kaiir Elam in RD1. We can go on and on and on..

Maybe “PI” isn’t the right phrasing, but you know what I mean. Do these guys not run a background check before they spend MILLIONS of dollars on these guys? You have no idea how embarrassing this is. This is not normal. The whole league is laughing at us right now.

I wouldn’t call him an idiot, but I would consider him to be highly reckless.. This is the same guy who spent $100M on a 32 year old Von Miller. Unreal.

Bro, I put more care into my Amazon packages than he does for players that he’s paying tens of millions of dollars for.. He didn’t check this out with the league before he signed these guys? Really? You think that these guys would hire PI’s to comb through these guy’s backgrounds before they pay them this kind of money.. I’m dumbfounded.. And I’m not going to go tit for tat with you over Beane’s blunders, but this isn’t the only time he’s royally screwed up. This is so embarrassing for our organization.

Don’t lie, this is very embarrassing for Brandon Beane.

You’ve got to be kidding me? Really?

I love the Dane Jackson signing and I’m hopeful that we bring Rasul Douglas back on a cheap one year deal. Add a slot CB in the Draft.

I care only about the bottom line, if this is a cap friendly contract, I’m all for this signing.

I understand that some penalties need to be called, but you have to let them play the game too. Less officiating, not more, but fair to both sides.

He was 100% slot? He lined up on the outside 0% of the time?

Cooper Kupp played in 12 games last year and if we went by yards alone he would only be behind Khalil Shakir and Shakir played in 3 more games than Kupp.

Yes.

The production between a RB and a WR is rather comparable in many ways. A top WR can get you a 1,000yds, a good RB will also get you close to that.. Same goes for TDs… I would actually feel far better if we signed Cook to a 3yr $36M contract instead of Josh Palmer.. our window to win is now.

But Josh Palmer is worth $12M/year? And he’s a #3-#4 WR at best? But we can’t pay a top 10 RB the same money? Cook will likely score more TDS and produce more yards in 2025 than Palmer by miles.. Our window is now, you can’t let our most deadly weapon on offense not named Josh Allen go..

If Josh Palmer is worth $12M/year, how in the world is James Cook at least not worth that much?

Our CBs play way too far off the los. If we played press a lot more often it would stop Mahomes from getting the ball out so quickly. It would give our pass rush more time to get there too.

If our window to win is now, why not extend Cook to 2-3 year deal?

I’m still only slightly satisfied but I’d give our external FA grade a B now.

I think they should use him as a pass rushing specialist.. Put someone else in on obvious running situations, put Bosa in there when we need to get after the QB.

I understand that, but what if he goes ballistic? It’s a risk/reward type of scenario and it’s not like he’s Shawne Merriman type of washed. He’s only 29. Keep him fresh, rotate him in and out.. Could be a 10+ sack per year kind of guy.. Who cares about $12.5M? We paid Josh Palmer that..

Bosa at 80% is a 10+ sack guy per year. Hopefully we limit his snap count so he can stay healthy. If Bosa returns to form we have an elite DE to pair with Rousseau… $12.5M is small potatoes.

This my friend makes me excited. WELL DONE BEANE.
