Like any fallible human being, Roseman has had moments of failing. But to claim that his first 7 drafts were "awful", is absolute insanity. His first 3 drafts include: - Fletcher Cox, sure-fire hall-of-famer with four time all-pro - Lane Johnson, potential hall-of-famer, and four time all-pro - Jason Kelce, sure-fire hall-of-famer, and six-time all-pro - Brandon Graham, potential hall-of-famer with over 70 sacks, and an All-Pro selection - Zach Ertz, who according to PFR is the 18th best TE of all time - Jordan Poyer, former all-pro (you may have heard of him) If 4 hall-of-famers and 5 players with all-pro honors in only 3 drafts is "awful" to you... then I cant even imagine what you think of Beane, who has 1 all-pro drafted under his belt in 7 years. If you want to crush him for a couple bad drafts in an otherwise historic over-decade long career, go for it - you can find them. Especially during the Pederson years where there were rumors that Pederson & Roseman werent getting along and no-one knew who was actually making the draft picks. Roseman is an absolute STUD.

Question for all: If Howie Roseman was our GM, would McDermott have a Super Bowl by now? My answer: Absolutely. How you answer that question may help you realize how much of the blame you put on GM and how much you put on the coach. Then again, Howie Roseman is a savant. He has 2 Super Bowls in the past 5 years with 2 different headaches and 2 different QB's, one of which was a backup.

A player didnt know he took illegal steroids? Color me unconvinced.

it’s kinda the GM’s job to know these things before they happen. Its part of the reason they’re paid a lot of money.

That’s fair. I think that’s exactly what they’re going for (based on the coaching hires this offseason).

People have short memories. Dane was not good.

Guess I have to hold your hand and walk you through this. The study *you* linked looked at players already cut or players who were up for a second contract. It was looking at players who didn’t receive a second contract. In other words, you can’t count players a GM drafts last year, because the “hit” rate would be 100%. No-one let’s go of a player one year after drafting them. The 40% number listed was all non-Allen draft picks. Not “hit” percentage. By your studies metric, Beane’s non-Allen hit” rate is 33%. Which, let me do some quick calculating here, would mean that Beane is below average. math

According to your article 43% is average. So he would be below average...

2022 NFL Draft: Pick 21: 1st Team All-Pro CB Trent McDuffie Pick 22: Respectable LB - Quay Walker Pick 23: Kaiir Elam Pick 24: 2nd Team All-Pro OT Tyler Smith Pick 25: Two-time Pro-Bowl C Tyler Lindenbaum It takes skill to screw this up so badly.

I don’t know how anyone could disagree with this. Without Allen, 40% of Beane’s first round picks aren’t even on the team anymore.

Agreed. The worst part to me is not the Elam bust, but knowing you let your enemy jump ahead of you and grab an All-Pro at CB.

He’s worse than people and makes mistakes constantly. Horrible angles, missed tackles, poor adjustment to passes, etc.

All 7 of them were really chatting it up.

It was never even in my periphery that the Bills would be interested in him, but I was on a Chargers form the other day just reading comments about various things, and Bosa was obviously a big talking point. The fan consensus over there is that he is completely toast. That he struggled to make a difference even when healthy and that his best days are far gone. Also a lot of talk about him being good for a penalty per game. I remember thinking, I feel bad for whatever team pays him. Oops.

Glad they’re trying something but the guy is totally washed.

Yikes. And thats coming from one of the best WR's of all time.

Agreed. I trust Beane and McD enough to know that they wouldn't perpetuate a false narrative.

Times two

A 2nd round pick is just 1 round higher than we spent on the Cooper rental.

Yeah, it's disappointing but expected.

An absolute disaster. A 2.2 billion dollar ugly stadium resembling a toilet bowl in a far suburb.

Same.

Yeah, that’s well behind pace. They’re no where near where they need to be. Even if they sold 3,000 seats per month (which is 3x their current rate) after the December number, they would still only be at 20k seats sold with nearly 40k to go. The stadium will sell out eventually. If it is to sell-out in time, then they need to hurry up the pace. By a lot.

That is part of the problem with selling via the time-share method. Even if 100% of people are willing to buy, it takes time to simply get to everyone. Couple that with the last figure released showed nearly 1/2 of people declining the offer, its taking a realllllyyy long time.

Only 11k sold in the first year. They have a little over a year to sell the remaining 47k.
