I said we wouldn’t make the playoffs. I didn’t say we would be a 5 win team. Be careful trying to argue that our GM is elite, HC is elite, and we have an MVP QB. All three can’t be true or we would have multiple trophies.

So you give credit to Beane for the first year roster he took over? Thats an interesting POV.

You said we went 9-7 with Tyrod Taylor. I included that sample along with even more games. But I’m the one who is cherry picking and using a small sample? 😂

We have a losing record without Josh Allen. We had a bottom 30 EPA defense without turnovers. Sean is what drives turnovers. He always has. The offensive line is good. Cook is good. Everything else is at best a B grade. We aren’t making the playoffs with Sam Darnold. No way in hell.

I don’t think we are a playoff team if you replace Allen with a QB in the 15-25 range in the league. So it’s sort of hard to get on this Beane is a witch fanboy club. We are completely deprived of top talent outside of Allen. That’s on him.

I'm not buying this mess is on one political party. It is never that simple. We collectively led ourselves down this path. If you want to push more blame to one vs the other so be it, but it's just not that simple. Immigration was a clear rallying cry for his MAGA base and one of the main "honest" issues he ran on as far as things he could actually fix. Most peoples view of the economy is not how the stock market is performing. It's what they pay for normal things. These tariffs ensure normal things will be more expensive. Jerking around our supply chains with this on and off again approach will just lead to instability within an already proven bad concept. If this was the plan nothing he sold during the election regarding paying less for normal people will play out and to think that maybe it will sometime down the road is a good ways past optimism. These are just unintelligent moves, no way around it. He can do a lot of things to push his agenda but this was never going to benefit anybody (unless you think all the leading economists in the world are just liberal COVID fan boys) which sadly, is an agenda he has promoted as well.

I never had a problem with immigration, I think it makes the country smarter and stronger. My lady is an immigrant. Super educated, just an incredible woman. But the dems never figured out a path that was logical or sustainable. Which sort of made it worse for those that tried to do it by the book. Ultimately it exposed them in the elections. Now we are paying the price for that mistake.

He might be a DT or he might be a DE. He might be 300+ pounds or he might be under 260. His motor might be high or his chess piece might be strong. Regardless of it all he most certainly is a Canadian so we must be cautious. He could be spying more than the QB.

After my initial roasting, the tape does look good. It will come down to how we use him.

Give Beane until the end of the night. I imagine we bag 4 or 5 of them.

I would have preferred to see him back for just what kind of edge he gave us. This team isn't the most physical or brash or confident and he seemed to give us a real edge. Palmer is most certainly an upgrade, but at that price, I'm surprised we didn't pay for the ST's and leadership TBH. Never thought I would say it but he will be missed. Thanks for your time and your Facebook tutorials.

He's got a really good body, physical but not slow. Sort of a poor mans Amari Cooper. I thought he would break out with the Chargers lack of WR talent it just never happened. It's a bit concerning that it didn't but not a bad signing. I'm just looking for the type of signing that gives us an edge in the divisional round or later and I haven't see anything yet. Hard not to be disappointed but still time left.

Him and AJ can talk about the trials and tribulations of losing weight and being average.

I don't think Beane really cares about system fit. Only that he's related to Chris Kelsey and provides depth. Seriously starting to loathe Beane's approach to building this roster. Which I know evokes strong distaste from those that think he walks on water. I will change my tune if we bring on a legit difference maker. The last one was 2022 and the one before that was 2020. You better be damn good at hitting your draft picks with high end talent if you don't want to use trades or FA.

Combined with one of the worst decisions to extend him early. He had the history and was showing the history before our eyes. We treated throwing money at him like a divorce ready couple having a kid. The conclusion sort of takes the appeal of the initial move (which I agree was good) but part of the game is recognizing when the deck is no longer in your favor and walking away. We doubled down and that was a mistake.

For as bad as immigration was, for as bad as government spending was, for as bad as the liberal polices were, they had a degree of economic sanity. They wouldn't consider using something that is universally dismissed as a horrible idea by the leading economists in the world and doing so like its a children's game. This is all on Trump. This party is going to be removed in a landslide when the economy is upside down and nobody has work.

Stable economy or secure borders? Not that difficult a choice.

He had 17 sacks in 24 games post injury before he got hurt with the Bills again. If tangible things existed to say he had a higher injury likelihood NFL teams would have baked this into his value when he hit FA's. If you had better intelligence than the NFL you should be working for them.

The Chargers seem too perfect for this. But as somebody called out, Harbaugh isn't a WR focused HC.

Honestly, I don't blame the guy (cold). If I had a choice I wouldn't pick cold either. Hopefully it's something we align on. That would be a huge bummer to miss on him for that reason.

How do we determine the hit for 25 and 26?

He will be in out top 5 players for cap hit no?

I think it’s more that you guys just don’t have anything to add. It’s basically limited to “see record” roster good. See record “coach good”. Poster doesn’t agree, “poster dumb”. You can’t offer anything specific on any of it past that. I wish I could be so simple. Life would probably be easier.
