fergie's ire Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 I think what he did last year was brilliant. The previous GM had talked about being in "QB hell" because they were never bad enough to draft a top quarterback. Beane collected enough assets to move into the top 10 in a year when being in the top 10 could land a top quarterback. This year, for example, I am not sure that they would be able to land a quarterback equal to Allen, even if they were in the top 5. So, they got a quarterback without having to tank and without having mortgage their future by giving away all their picks. I also love the approach this year. Build depth and fill needs with solid, but not overly expensive, free agent players....allowing him to go after the best players available in the draft. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simpleman Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 (edited) Desperate fans wishing so long for salvation after spending decades of being a fan of one of the worst run teams in the league tend to overreact when declaring a savior. It is too early to tell how good a GM Beane will turn out to be. How many times over the years have fans here raved about winning the off season only to have the team stink it up in the real season? So far Beane is responsible for one horrible season record. A rookie QB that may, or may not turn out to be a winner. Let's wait till the real season is over and see what our win loss record is, and if, or how far, we went in the playoffs before we judge his performance. Winning the off season is not the goal in the NFL. Neither premature adulation or premature ***** are a good thing.

You left out "failed with bargain basement FA signings last year." I mean, come on, if you're going to be you, at least be consistent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 He's going to need to show more on a consistent basis. Too early to king Beane right now. Can't forget the 'stellar' acquisitions at WR, QB, and CB last year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would admit though he's done a good job so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whatdrought Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 (edited) Nobody really thought of Howie Roseman as one of the best Executives in the game until he held the Lombardi and we realized "damn, that guy survived riding back seat to a ######, and then quietly rebuilt everything and won a Superbowl." I feel it'll be a similar existence for Beane. He may be highly respected in the league, but until he holds that Lombardi (handed to him by Josh Allen in February 2021), I doubt people will be wiling to say "damn, this guy is a top 5 executive who returned the bills to relevance." 1 hour ago, Canadian Bills Fan said: Literally any gif from that movie gets a chuckle from me...

Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Well, Beane did keep a few people of the rolls of the State of North Carolina’s unemployment insurance. ? He’ll probably get points for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So long as we are the Bills, I can't declare anyone a success until I see it on the field at the end of the season. BBFS for life! No. I remember telling everyone Fitz sucks and it was a terrible contract we would quickly regret when the deal was announced. Our dumb FO screwed the poooch. Beane is a top 5 GM right now and will be in the running even this year for GM of the Year IMO. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
