KGun12TD Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Dolphins stink worse than us Last I heard, they went to the playoffs. They also drafted a RB that ran for nearly 500 yards agains us, got a Pro bowl WR the year we traded a 1st rd pick for a WR that is often hurt, and are building a competitive team. So, there is that.

So, there is that. they have drafted pretty well imo. I hate Jarvis Landry but he's damn good and got him in the 2nd. Ajayi in the 5th. Having the insight to take Tunsil as he was falling last year by doing quick research on his situation as it was unfolding. Just a few examples.

billsfan_34 Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 If the Bills hung onto two leads, we would have been the WC, not them. Good teams find a way to win and bad teams find a way to lose, its that simple. Last I heard, they went to the playoffs.

buffaloboyinATL Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 By the way, we can only hope that this move weakens a division opponent as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBean Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Young, bright, and forward thinking. A lot different things going on around here compared to the Ralph Wilson days. I'm excited about the future of this organization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadianFan Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 (edited) miami has done well with bringing in vets, like we do. but their drafting hasnt' been stellar. reminds me of what whaley did here. Objectively speaking, Miami's drafts have over the last 4 years have been the most productive in the NFL as per the link below. Their drafts productivity is 4th in the NFL, just behind Hawks, Rams and Vikings. This tells me Beane's been doing analysis similar to what I've done here. While yes Dolphins do not have the reputation as yet, the work they've done has been showing up. This is a team on the rise. And I like this hire because this guy will strengthen Beane's weakness in scouting as some have discussed. http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/193447-nfl-draft-performance-analysis-for-2012-2016/?hl=draft+ranking&do=findComment&comment=4340926 Edited May 14, 2017 by CanadianFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdand12 Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Schoen wasn't the entire Miami scouting department. The scouting department is a team of its own. Saying you don't like the Miami scouting department is like saying you don't like the New Orleans Saints. Therefore we shouldn't sign any players from the Saints? Personally, I'd sign Brees in a heartbeat if he wanted to come to Buffalo. Like any team, the Miami scouting department has more-talented guys and less-talented guys. Apparently, Beane has identified Schoen as one of the more talented guys. Unless you have good insider information, I don't know why you'd want to second-guess him. Except that we're Bills fans and second-guess everything. I have to check you here Hondo, as i respect your posts. Virgil only said what he perceived was going on in Miami. I feel the same way over the last 4-5 years with them. Maybe last two years they have turned it around a bit . I think they have, starting with HC. But i do think you missed Virgil's honest opinion here So Beane's area of least experience, scouting, he hired an assistant GM who's strength is scouting, and they share a vision of team building. I like that a lot. Hmmm... seems counterintuitive almost. Did you actually watch the games? shall we call you John now? terrible retort Young, bright, and forward thinking. A lot different things going on around here compared to the Ralph Wilson days. I'm excited about the future of this organization. welcome Brandon !

blacklabel Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 He wasn't with Miami for that long. He spent most of his career in Carolina. They'll have a good portion of the scouting department filled out within a week or two. I'm sure they already have a list of names they're calling and they're probably getting a truckload of emails/calls/resumes from other scouts looking for a spot.

PromoTheRobot Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Yes. Miami beat them twice and went to the playoffs That happened because we handed them two games, mostly thanks to the defense. Otherwise, Miami was nothing special. Remember how people said the Bills didn't beat any teams with winning records last year? Dolphins were just as bad in that regard. I'm not impressed with this hire, but then again, i'm not impressed with the Beane hire either. When will we ever learn. Aye Carumba Just curious who would you have hired?

eball Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 @Kaenon, yep no matter what the Bills do,there are going to be fans that complain. Yep, and they'll tell you they have every right to because of 17 years and blah blah blah...very few have the ability to evaluate decisions in context and see more than one side.
