I just asked a question. I think Beane is a very good GM. He deserves lots of credit. Hands down.
Has he been flawless? No
Has he made mistakes? Yes
Have those mistake cost the Bills a chance to go further in the playoffs? Maybe
Can Beane make the right moves to get over the hump? Maybe
Are you ok with getting to the playoffs only to fizzle out? I'm not!
Do you think it's time for the Bills to take the next logical step? AFC championship game, SB appearence, SB win? Yes yes and yes. Two consecutive years of wasted opportunity.
At what point do you look to make organizational and coaching changes if the Bills falter? How many years?
For now, Beane deserves more time. Clearly, the goal is a SB. They haven't reached their goal. Part of that has to fall on Beane. He had 5 years of Allen and his rookie contract to get it done. Wasn't that the optimal time? He even mentioned this with the Bengals.
In short, Beane is very good but he's fallen short thus far. Could he get it done soon. Yes and yes. His moves this off season indicate he's moving forward to win and win big. I like his aggressive moves. However, he put himself in a difficult position for the upcoming years. At some point, I want more than what Beane had produced. Don't you?
