He was a stability hire to basically reset the organization. They have been a joke since Gruden. I’m sure they expected better play but this isn’t about this year or next year. It’s about becoming serious, even if they are bad and serious.

Pickens has HoF talent and a 10 cent head

I will never root for the Chiefs, even in pursuit of seeding. i will root for them to lose every game and be mathematically eliminated first.

No one really says that about Big Ben and the Steelers and they basically only made Super Bowls by dodging NE.

Meh, Carroll was running show in the old days. They did have like nearly a decade of bad personnel decisions after that Super Bowl.

I think the argument is that you can become an elite route runner and offset your lack of speed with skill, but I feel like you could apply that argument to anybody, fast or slow. If you can become a Davante Adams-lite route runner, you have a high ceiling.

When I talk about the best GMs in football, I always start out with how many career STers and punters they have drafted over their careers. I don’t know why we fired Doug Whaley, he drafted Marcus Easley!!!!

Say what you want about Devante Parker, but he was maybe the best big slow career ever. His rookie season vs Keon’s 50 targets 26 rec 494 yards and 3 TDs, 19 YPC 57 targets 29 rec 556 yards and 4 TDs, 19.2 YPC, they are basically peas in a pod

Listing ST guys bouncing around the league without a shred of irony is so so so good. a punter lmao

I’m not sure I’ve seen much from Coleman to visualize his “high ceiling.” he exhibits poor spacing and body control effectively all the time. Is his ceiling high because he’s a generally good athlete and his skills are so unrefined that if he fixed them he might be really good one day? He’s probably a bit stronger than the average WR but also a bit slower and really lacks burst imo. I never saw the vision for what it’s worth. His range was Devin Funchess/Devante Parker-tier to me. But your point is fair, he didn’t ask to be the savior of the Bills WR room, that’s all on Beane.

I don’t even know who you are referring to. what I do know is that Keon basically has had next to zero competition at the boundary WR position two years running and has fumbled that opportunity massively. He misses a game for bad behavior, which would be a terrible thing even if he was great, and our offense basically doesn’t miss a beat with a one-legged Gabe Davis and an UDFA who wasn’t good enough to make an NFL team last year. I think it’s safe to say he has failed to take advantage of his opportunity here thus far. He’s just lucky that we didn’t draft a 6th round WR who was infinitely better than him like what happened to Elam.

what is this take? This player had an up and down rookie year where they had some flashes. Beane traded a 3rd round pick to shore up their position group midseason, in part because they weren’t doing enough. In year 2, they didn’t really progress despite a MASSIVE OPPORTUNITY in front of them, and suddenly found themselves inactive and in the coach’s dog house. Which player am I talking about? Spoilers…. It’s both of them.

Honestly, I think they held their flags on the holds on the kickoff. When was the last time you saw multiple long kickoff returns by both teams and not a single one was called back?

Marshawn Lynch was in the Pro Bowl in his second year. Let me guess, you LOVED hanging onto Kaiir Elam to suck as a backup before we eventually shipped his ass out?

We got a 5th for Elam and he couldn’t even get on the field. do not underestimate GMs who think they are smarter than each other
