Yes. Correct. Browns GM lost his job after that, and many people admonished the Bills for paying an old Von that much money when older players get injured more often. By your definition of a GM, we could simply fire the GM and scouting staff and simply select draft picks based on the average consensus of prognosticators. And really we should never fire a GM, because they can’t possibly know what the right decision is… we should still have Buddy Nix.

We are going to win. Have fun!

I think you missed the context of the discussion you butted into. The discussion wasn’t “should we fire Beane?” - I have been clear on my stance that no one from the current regime should go. The discussion was whether a GM deserves blame for selecting the wrong player. That’s it! That’s all of it. Nothing else. And YES - a GM should absolutely shoulder blame for selecting the wrong player, even if others thought the player he selected was the better choice. They are paid to know the future. By your definition of a GM (just doing what everyone thinks is the right decision), we could simply fire the GM and scouting staff and simply select draft picks based on the average consensus of prognosticators.

A general managers job is to know what will happens before it happens!!! That is LITERALLY their job. Should we have kept Doug Whaley or Buddy Knox because “aw shucks, can’t use hindsight against them!” No!

Why *ever* fire a GM then? Just say “eh, he couldn’t know which player would have been better”. If the GM can just blame his poor picks on who the prognosticators believe will be the better player (which was the persons comment I replied to), then there is no point in having a GM. So what? Part of a GM’s job is to know who will be better. Not just say “well everyone else also though X was going to be better”.

This argument doesn't hold water. Its the PRO scouts and GM's literal job to know who will be better.

Well this is something. -
I want to know how someone stepped on his foot so badly that he was out for a month and a half.

Can someone remind me when Hamlin got injured?
-
In general terms you're not wrong. But I can tell you that Bills Pats tickets were still over $200 as the ball was being kicked off.

If you don't mind gambling, waiting until the week of the game can net you some very good deals. For example, they play the Chargers this week and tickets can be had for as low as $30.

Stadium Construction Discussion (No PSL/Seat selection posts)

Is that the point of the canopy? Wind confusion? I thought the outside mesh of the stadium was for the wind confusion? Yeah thats an ugly shadow. However, I would think a larger roof would reduce the contrast between light and dark because more of the field would be shadowed. -

This is what the people you’re talking to wanted to see. A roof that covers 90% of seats (similar to Tottenham).
