boater Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Moss? He did nothing this afternoon? Singletary did nothing? Such shame for middling round picks to rise their team to victory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyBeets Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 In terms of draft picks I am totally torn. I don't know if they're missing because of Beane or because of McDermotts inability to develop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I Need is Hope Posted November 1, 2020 Author Share Posted November 1, 2020 15 minutes ago, Bob in STL said: Beane is doing great. Some of his picks, like Ford and Edmunds and even Allen, are still developing. Are you really going to criticize 4 th and 5th round picks (Knox and Joseph)? He has consistently upgraded the talent with free agents while not overpaying. None of the players you mention put us in cap trouble and all of them have contributed. He has not been perfect but he has built an exciting team, a competitive team, and a culture of winning. Players want to play here. Do you want to bring back Whaley, Nix, Brandon, Levy, Modrak and Donahoe? I sure don’t. I'm always comparing our progress to teams that are currently competitive to win the Super Bowl, and it seems like we could become stuck in the "we're a play-off team with limiting flaws" I agree that Beane is better than previous regimes, top to bottom, and heck, by Buffalo standards, he might be great... however, I want us to make the next jump and I'm skeptical regarding his ability to get us there.

Overall, Beane's drafting and FA handling are starting to show cracks... probable misses on high picks like Ford, Edmunds, Phillips, Joseph, maybe Knox. This has always been a 4 year rebuild, these guys are going to grow into solid pieces of the core (except joseph) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuckyBoys Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 well Beane diid get them out of cap hell but at the cost of dealing some good players However I'm leery of a lot of his recent FA signings Starter money given out to some subpar lbers isnt helping his cause. The recent early picks have been meh. Honestly he's trending in the wrong direction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got pushed around by legitimate contenders, on both sides of the ball. At some point, we need more talent on defense. You might need a tad bit more than just hope.

Overall, Beane's drafting and FA handling are starting to show cracks... probable misses on high picks like Ford, Edmunds, Phillips, Joseph, maybe Knox. Many good FA adds like Feliciano, Morse, Beasley, Brown; but several misses or marginal upgrades like Klein, potentially Norman, Spain, Murphy (jury's out on this year's crop - Butler, Addison). Part of the results of the middle-of-the-pack GM performance is a linebacking group and dline that are bad, with terrible depth and few play makers/game changers on defense (other than Milano and Tre); and plays soft. Beane, by all accounts is a very bright and hard working GM, however, if I look closely at the roster and results, it's not as positive as I've been thinking for the last year plus. Good lord, the hot takes are getting ripe around here. After a 17-year playoff drought, this regime has authored two playoff seasons in three years, is en route to a third playoff season in four years, has a 6-2 record, is atop the AFC East at the midway point of the season for the first time in over a decade (when Brady missed the season), just defeated the Patriots, and the team’s only two losses are to two of the top teams in the NFL this season. But you’re right, our backup linebacker sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freak-O Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 25 minutes ago, High Football IQ said: His drafting has been horrible and for all the credit some folks gave him for cleaning up the previous regime's mess and he pretty much put them back into the same situation especially after what appears to be a very premature extension to Tre White. He's certainly hit on some trades and FA signings but overall there's nothing impressive about what he's done and the insistence on focusing on the Carolina franchise will prove to be his downfall. Yeah he's obviously on route to keep this team out of the playoffs for another ~20 years, anyone can see that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re going to the Super Bowl for sure after defeating the mighty Pats. Mark my words, we’re playing the Bucs in the Super Bowl. We’re going to take down Brady, and McD is going to body slam Gronk before taking the Lombardi Trophy. .....and then I woke up. Adorable dream.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to see how well Oliver and Edumonds would perform if the defense adds a true one tech. Edumonds played a lot better last season once Star got it going and the team added Lugiet. Oliver is playing out of position at the one tech on freaking rushing downs. This team needs to get a true one tech DT because the lack of one is making both players worse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His drafting has been decent but cmon man how can you say his FA pickups have been good? We have one of the worst front 7’s in the NFL right now. A front 7 almost entirely made up of Beanes players. Only guy that isn’t his is Hughes and he’s been the best player on defense this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
