jaybee Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Looking for Jim Kelly 2.0, Please end the drought. Josh Allen, Mason Rudolph, Josh Rosen, Sam Darnold? If Tyrod doesn't take it to the next level you can make this post a monument. Could even happen before or during the season. This regime is serious about building a contender. And...know exactly what they are doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Looking for Jim Kelly 2.0, Please end the drought. Josh Allen, Mason Rudolph, Josh Rosen, Sam Darnold? I'm all about the Rosen trade. I think Darnold falls back this year. Problem is, we won't be rock bottom enough to pick the top guy. I like Rudolph but he is far from a sure thing. If you're going to be bad, go all the way. Start the young qbs, get rid of high price contracts. I though we were going 7/9 or 8-8 this season but I could have seen us sneaking into the playoffs with some breaks before these trades. Now, I see a 5-11, 6-10 team. That's leave us in qb purgatory at draft time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmishRifle Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Make the necessary moves for long term success with minimal impact on the short term. Perfect IMHO. I agree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nedboy7 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 (edited) Give up your best weapon on offense for a second round pick so that I can watch another year of a sub par product. Oh right this years team was not gonna go far. But somehow with 2 more draft picks we are gonna win the super bowl.

NoSaint Posted August 12, 2017 Author Share Posted August 12, 2017 Build a new team, simple. Right, but with what goals and metrics of success in mind? If you are beane or McD what lens are you making decisions through and or what are the benchmarks of success you judge them across? "Different, but win now and save all our resources for later" isn't a philosophy or strategy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nedboy7 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I sat down to watch the preseason game this morning. I was so excited for it. Then I saw the first 3 passes to Watkins. I realized this is not a team that believes in itself. They traded their most entertaining and best player. I cant watch this product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris heff Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Use two draft picks to draft WR and CB wash rinse repeat. I thought the organization was bad under Wilson it could now actually be worse. So far Pegula has promoted Russ Brandon, hired Rex Ryan, then allowed Rex to hire his brother, let Rex fire his OC after two games. Hired first time HC and first time GM who are now trading players they will have to replace with the draft pick they received for said players. Matthews is a nice number two WR so Watkins has to be replaced. I know nothing about Gaines other than he had a decent year a few years ago and had the same injury as Watkins. I get the franchise QB thing, but providing they found a willing partner they already had what the needed to get their QB. So as I said what you have is wash rinse repeat.

Punching Bag Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 See that half pregnant stunt is whats gonna piss me off. They sold the fanbase its team throughout the offseason and then change the best WR in mid-August? I can understand why they did it, but I didnt like how they did that. He is only the best WR when he is on the field. They evaluated him during camp / preseason and determined whether it is recovery from conditioning, attitude, contract demands to extend, etc that it would be better to move on now than later. That's my issue. Trade Shady, build around Sammy. One way to keep trainers and doctors busy. Give up your best weapon on offense for a second round pick so that I can watch another year of a sub par product. Oh right this years team was not gonna go far. But somehow with 2 more draft picks we are gonna win the super bowl. Maybe they are trying to get rid of some fans as players who would not buy in? If so success.

Magox Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 From the perspective of McD/Beane "We are going to build this team through the draft and we are gonna do it our way." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
