I think he may.have had a non team player personality and saw himself above the rest. Not saying I know this but that was the vibe I got and clearly McD didn't like something about him.

And he didn't respect guys like Watkins and Dareus for good reason. Woods and Goodwin left after minimal offers. Dareus I understand them not wanting to keep him but I thought they got very little for him and he timing was of the transaction was bad. Gilleslie was worth keeping but Beane brought in his Carolina cronies. I think a lot of the decisions were questionable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give your young QB a chance to grow with young weapons. They also had an offensive line that was competent under Gailey and 2 running backs that were very good. This year they draft Allen, had no 2nd round picks with that move, trade the pick at the top of round 3 so they can move up for a LB. They then use their other 3rd round pick on a DT and wait until round 6 to draft a gadget receiver. O line in shambles and pick a 30 year old Chris Ivory to complement McCoy. They should have put McDermotts defensive ego aside and gotten this kid some targets to grow with and a line to block for when he eventually plays THIS SEASON. And we’re still paying the price, and CANT address these issues as well as we could, because of the salary cap hell we’re in, much of which stems front the regime that drafted Manuel, and who traded away the farm to draft mediocre talent. Thankfully, we’ll be in a good spot cap-wise next offseason and can really start adding quality talent. But if they can’t get the oline figured out... it’s gojng to be a long 17 weeks.

Beast Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 The offensive line is a concern but I have never witnessed so much hysteria, especially over a pre-season game, as I have in the last 24 hours or so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m confident they will continue adding more weapons on offense to put around Allen. Do you people think every need can be addressed in a single offseason? We also picked up a first rounder (Coleman). He has warts,surely, buts still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HC is a DC masquerading as a HC, until he proves otherwise. So he views things from a defensive perspective. I assume the plan is to build up the offense this next offseason, with the rebuild being where they want it for 2019. If Allen proves to be a very good franchise QB who makes this team good or great for the next decade, it will all be worth it. If Allen busts or just never gets to where we hope he will, it will be another failed 3 year (or so) phase of the never ending cycle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJS Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 I also figured we would have all-pros at every position two off-seasons into this rebuild. What is McBeane even doing?! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year he knew trading Watkins/Darby he had to replace both and did. Sitting idle and hoping for the best isn't going to cut it. Apparently your magic 8 ball works better than Beanes since you knew 2/5 of the OL(that they didn't trade away) would be gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jpsredemption Posted August 28, 2018 Author Share Posted August 28, 2018 To the McDermott and Beane defense attorneys.....with a straight face please look at the offensive line and receiving core and then tell me people are overreacting. This was a concern long before today. You'd think a defensive mastermind would have such an ego that he could coach up lesser talent and use those premium picks on offense.

Exactly!! not replacing 3 great Olineman was egregious. Also need major talent at WR and TE, should have went after: TE Jimmy Graham WR Allen Robinson G Justin Pugh RT Chris Hubbard G JR Sweezy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please look at your coach and GM and hope they continue to do the best for the team and build this in the 3 years you expected them to regardless of the fact that we lost 2 OL Men that they did not plan to loose. Regardless of the fact that they put a bunch of stock into the DL. Finally regardless of the fact that they are the first two that have seen mediocrity as not something to dwell on but addressed the QB situation for the better in the long haul.

Well then I hope they invest their money a little bit smarter in free agency next year with all that money because this year's hall is not very promising.
