    Yep!

     

    Who is, after Josh, the best skill player on offense drafted by Beane?  The answer by a country mile is Cook. 
     

    Back on topic for a second, with the signing of Moore do the Beane critics still think we have the worst WR group in the NFL?

    Im curious what the dropoff will be with other decent backs like Davis. We are judging cook behind the new revamped oline w new OC.

    Perhaps Shakir is next best if the dropoff isnt as great.

    Exactly. Josh and the offense are subsidizing the defense.


    Since Josh was drafted, in the first 3 rounds we have drafted 4 DTs, 4 DEs, 3 LBs and 2 CBs (both firsts). In that same timeframe we have drafted 1 WR, 2 TEs and 3 RBs (two no longer with team and the other, second best player on offense is in a contract battle).

     

    People say we don’t need better players bc the offense was already legendary last year. It took a Herculean, MVP effort from Josh to get there. And in the end when Josh needed a player to step up when he didn’t make a perfect defensive read, the game was lost. But because a defense that has had so many resources poured into it sucked, we have to do it again instead of making an honest effort to improve both sides of the ball.

     

    I loved the first three rounds of the draft. But then not even trying to get Josh a weapon until the last pick in the draft is malpractice. There is no new talent in the pipeline so that if Keon or Kincaid don’t progress and if Palmer and Samuel are who they have always been, the team has nothing at least being developed behind the underwhelming cast. Which is exactly how we got to this spot when we never drafted anyone when Diggs was here.


    I type this like this will get to Beane, it won’t. This is who the Bills are. I’m just frustrated as a fan because I want what is best for the Bills and feel like giving Josh good talent on the offense is what would be best bc I trust him more than our coaches to get the most out of players. 
     

    Go Bills, pay James Cook.

     

    Second best player is Dawkins and its not even close.

    They've invested in the o-line. Not enough picks and money to everywhere.  Hopefully the revamped D gets Josh back on the field faster.

    Josh was a guest on Tom Brady's SiriusXM and both acknowledged that the Bills run the Patriot offense. Dabol was there a long time and incorporated it here.  I don't know if he would go against his old boss and as a head coach, he didn't succeed, but as an OC with multiple Super Bowls, Josh McDaniel could be good.

     

    At the same time, if you saw McD and Dabol not shake hands after the Giants game, it's no secret that Dabol didn't listen to McD and ran the offense his way and was successful.  It looks like Dorsey is a Yes Man to McD's demands.  The D's injuries are in McD's head.  He wants the offense to slow down and the chew clock to keep the D off the field as much as possible and it's not working. He has to allow the offense to play to its strengths and stop stifling offensive tempo and momentum.

    The benefit is McDaniels wouldnt bounce for a HC job. hed be there for the long haul

    Honestly, he probably doesn’t believe that he will either deep down. But it’s been giving him something to work toward. It’s a motivator. He’s amazing. 

     

    No doubt about it. I don't know if I could handle it 1/2 as well as he has. I'm hoping this unfolds into a new chapter for him.. Perhaps coaching
