"Mild" trade up? To where?

You’re referring to the play where his LT got blown up by Chris Jones, and got hit while throwing? Sure, under thrown. I’m immune to 300+ pound men impacting my ability to throw too…

Tom Brady is considered clutch because: Adam Vinatieri made 3 Field Goals Pete Carroll called a pass instead of a run Julian Edelman made an inexplicable grab after Kyle Shannahan had a meltdown play calling The Rams scored 3 points The Chiefs offensive line was absolutely man handled Josh is not considered clutch because: 13 seconds Bass missing a FG Kincaid dropping the ball on a play where no other QB even gets a throw off. Narratives are interesting...

Come on, this is a tired narrative. They’re all “his guy” , there’s no need to manufacture a hierarchy that doesn’t exist.

Yeah, this is probably pretty close. I wouldn’t be surprised if they have a draft model that takes the inputs of the scouts alongside objective variables that have a strong relationship to NFL success. Those things help them determine their board, etc. My guess is it’s less scouting staff applying his feedback, as it is him applying theirs.

It would be quite the shocking departure from who Josh Allen is. I mean, he’s been the same guy for what seems to be his entire life. A particular point of pride is that Allen attended public school here, and not private school, like many of the well-to-do kids in the area do. That cemented an undying loyalty in the town, according to Terry Anderson, who was the principal of Firebaugh High School when Josh and his three siblings attended. That play stuck in Allen's craw. It was just one of the reasons he decided to return to Laramie for his junior season despite the experts pegging him as a sure-fire early selection in the upcoming NFL Draft. There were other factors, too. Admittedly, maybe he wasn't ready to lead a locker room full of men. Loyalty was a main component. Craig Bohl was the lone Division-I coach to take a chance on Allen out of Reedley Community College. By now you've heard the story about Allen sending emails to more than 1,000 college coaches. Only one answered and offered. "I felt I owed him the respect," Allen said of Bohl. The same guy that stood up on stage to thank Terry, Kim, Brandon, Sean and the Buffalo Bills organization for taking a chance on drafting him. If he goes somewhere else, who he is has always been a lie. So it begs the question, do you think Josh Allen is a liar?

Because most people think very binary… it’s either “good” or “bad” there’s no room for context in their minds.

This has to be tongue in cheek?

How many difference makers exist in the NFL?

Everyone felt like Joe Schoen was an incredible talent evaluator and Beane was ***** after he left. Who has had the better drafts despite picking 20-25 picks later?

You mean Allen, Edmunds, Rousseau and even Elam? People complain about those guys too. I mean Buffalo is usually taking guys with high RAS. The athleticism is rarely an issue - they actually might bet on traits too much.

Umm, yeah this isn’t true. Double check wherever you’re getting your information from.

This isn’t really how medicals work… you really think Beane is there as the leading medical opinion?

If this is for development purposes, I would be looking heavily into the college ranks for our next strength coach. If it’s primarily injury related, they should be looking into folks with PT and CSCS credentials. I may do some digging later to get an idea of who could be a fit.

This might actually be as much a long term health thing as it is a performance goals thing. S&C plays the biggest role in injury prevention and prior to this season, it always felt like soft tissue issues and things that could have been prevented.

$15M is not happening lol

We currently have four open spots with Dawuane Smoot, Austin Johnson Quinton Jefferson and Jordan Phillips hitting free agency, likely five if Von Miller is released. Near Locks for the Roster: Ed Oliver DaQuan Jones DeWayne Carter Greg Rousseau AJ Epenesa Solomon could be pushed off, but that depends on whether a free agent or draft pick outperforms him. His spot will be determined by his progress in 2024. They’ll likely sign 2-3 free agents, leaving room for 1-2 draft picks to make the roster. It’s more likely Beane uses those 5th and 6th-round picks to move up in Round 2 or 4 for players he likes rather than cast a wide net at the same position.

Hopefully Ryan Nielsen and Jason Rebrovich can quickly get the DL going after Beane (hopefully) infuses it with some new talent this offseason.

Give me Matthew Golden at 30 and then Alfred Collins and Darius Alexander at 56 and 62.

Alfred Collins popped out to me watching casually during the end of the CFB season. He would be a fun fit, and I'd be thrilled with him at the end of the second round.

And the run with McD, Frazier, Daboll was at the time equalled only by the 49ers and the Saints for continuity at HC-DC-OC. Four seasons with the same three guys is pretty rare in the NFL these days. Sorry, different thread… @GunnerBillgets the credit.

Lol, someone literally just pointed out upthread that the recent consistency of McDermott/Daboll/Frazier for 4 seasons was only matched by New Orleans and San Francisco. And you’re talking about “firing this many coordinators”
