CanadianFan Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 This past season was a great success due to McDermott's ability to pull some rabbits out of the hat. Creating something out of nothing. I know everyone's congratulating the coaching and management for the success. But let's reflect on what contributed to that success. What did Beane add to that team? His biggest free agency signing - was Anquan Boldin. Who contributed ZERO catches to the team's 31st ranked passing offense. His biggest trade acquisition was - Kelvin Benjamin. Who provided 16 catches for the 31st ranked passing offense. Essentially, Beane had ZERO POSITIVE IMPACT for 2017. Beane will have to prove his worth, and earn some of the accolades he's gotten undeservedly from this past season. As a famous football movie said, "SHOW ME THE MONEY". I'm waiting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCal Deek Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Please send this Thread to Mr. Beane's office. I'm guessing he's unaware of the pressure that goes along with being in charge of an NFL Front Office. (sarcasm) 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lfod Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 (edited) Kinda harsh for a guy that hasn't had much of a chance to prove himself. I agree he has to prove himself. I wouldn't dump on him this early. Anquan Boldin retired didn't he? I don't know how he would aquire stats for a team he's not even playing for when he's out saving the world. You gonna hold that against him? Sorry you said zero catches for him all year like he played for the team this year. Kelvin Benjamin came in late and Peterman was the only guy that seemed to want to throw to him. Plus he got rocked in the leg. So didn't expect crazy stats. At least that was an attempt to give the struggling QBs a big target. Edited January 16, 2018 by Lfod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrotherChazz Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Anquan Boldin was a bigger signing than Micah Hyde or Jordan Poyer? Maybe in name only. Don't mention any of his trades with positive results, like EJ, or the fact that we are set up in the draft. Nobody is declaring him the Best GM ever. But compared to what we've had recently....yeah, I'd take Beane over Donahoe. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nihilarian Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I happen to love the Kelvin Benjamin signing as this team hasn't had a big, tall red zone WR target in forever. At 6'5 243 the guy is a monster for DB's to cover and this should become more evident once he has a legit NFL QB throwing to him. This was a huge move that would have really proved itself had Tyrod thrown to him more often. Beane attempted to get Taylor more help and the guy gave up when he thought the team was going to tank by trading away so much talent. I think I'll wait and see how this offseason goes before I start judging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
