Reviewing Beane

[Alphadawg7]

18 hours ago, Einstein said:

He has been “made” by his Allen choice, which you can never take away. But for the purpose of this thought study, imagine that he did not pick Allen. Imagine he had picked Rosen.

 

Where would our fans rank him then?

 

Likely quite low.

 

Shows how 1 pick can make or break a career.

Why stop there…let’s pretend the Warriors didn’t draft Curry.  The Patriots didn’t draft Brady.  The Packers didn’t draft Rodgers.  The Lakers didn’t draft Kobe.  The Bulls didn’t draft Jordan.  
 

No disrespect, I just don’t get these types of comments at all.  Great teams often have some great to elite players on them.  So what’s up he point of saying “well if he didn’t draft Allen”.  He did draft Allen when the MAJORITY of you (don’t know your personal stance) around here wanted to mistakenly draft Rosen.  So there is no scenario of him not drafting Allen, his ability to identify Allen as their guy is 100% part of his excellent track record as a GM.
 

And what’s even most puzzling, is we have what is seen by almost everyone as the most talented roster top to bottom in the NFL.  Yet your comment basically completely disregards the very talented roster we have and the work Beane did to not only assemble it, but keep our own home grown players and still be in position to go add a Von Miller and extend Diggs.

 

Beane has been masterful at trades, drafting, contracts, and retaining our own.  No GM has a perfect track record or bats a thousand, but I’d argue that Beane has had the best track record of any GM in the NFL during the time he has been our GM.

 

So, again, no disrespect but your comment is incredibly flawed.

Yeah, but the team was loaded with young talent.  Sure it never led to wins, but they were young and talented!

I think that's sarcasm Doc, but my detector is on the fritz so I'll answer honestly.

 

Beane was able to trade Tyrod Taylor for a 3rd (pick 65 so basically a second) and Dareus and his absurd contract for a 5th. The deadwood, AKA not part of the process, was shed and pretty darn quickly.  Like any GM he's had hits and misses. IMO the scales are tipped far in his favor. (think Dareus on one side of the scale vs Diggs on the other.)

No problem, I'll attempt to help you understand.

 

The point of any evaluation or rating is to assess the full works of whatever you are reviewing. 

 

So... if you purchase an automobile and the engine works great, that is a positive. The engine is a heavily weighted component and is needed for the vehicle to function.  But, what if the A/C/heat doesnt work? And the brakes fail from time to time? And the seats wiggle when you take turns?

 

Will the car still receive a good rating from you, simply because the engine is good? 

Well, I would hope not.

 

In the National Football League, the Quarterback is a heavily weighted position. A great QB can mask many roster deficiencies. In other words, a QB can keep the team running, just like an engine can. But without a prover HVAC system, and brakes, and secure seats, your ride will not be very comfortable.

 

This is not an uncommon exercise - in Science or Analytics or a myriad of other topics, it is common to isolate a heavily weighted variable and review the remaining dataset. I'm genuinely surprised how few understand this. Perhaps it a low-level IQ test of the posters on this forum.

People have done this exercise with the Warriors. 

 

The Warriors also drafted Klay Thompson and Draymond Green and signed Kevin Durant.

 

So taking away Curry, you still have extremely talented and elite players that show the Warriors do indeed draft and sign well, absent their engine (Curry). 

 

1 hour ago, Alphadawg7 said:

The Patriots didn’t draft Brady.

 

People have done this exercise with the Patriots too.

 

The Patriots also drafted and signed Rob Gronkowski, Wes Welker, Randy Moss, Devin McCourty, Julian Edelman, Patrick Chung, etc.

 

So taking away Brady, you still have players that show the Patrots have GM'ed well at times absent their engine (Brady). 

 

1 hour ago, Alphadawg7 said:

The Packers didn’t draft Rodgers. 

 

The Packers are a good example of the flip side of the coin.

 

With Rodgers, one of the greatest QB's in NFL history, the Packers should have several Super Bowl rings (or at least appearances). 

 

But the Packers have lived off the laurels of drafting Aaron Rodgers. If you visit their forum, you will see that their fans have long complained about their previous (and even current) GM over this very issue.

 

When you isolate the heavily weighted variable known as Aaron Rodgers, you find that their draft picks and signings have been sparse of elite players. There are a few, like Adams, but not enough.

I think he is average to above average, but he hit on the most important position and that gives you longevity in the NFL.

I don't think you quite understand my comment.

 

The point of this exercise is not to remove Allen from Beane's accomplishments. It is to isolate Allen for a moment so you can properly evaluate the rest of the roster without the Allen affect clouding your mind.

 

Which it clearly has.

[Logic]

Multiple unbiased national NFL analysts and writers have called the Bills' roster the very best in the NFL from top to bottom.

Beane has an AP NFL Executive of the Year award under his belt.

The Bills have made the playoffs 4 out of 5 years that Beane has been general manager, after having missed the playoffs for 17 straight seasons prior to his arrival.

The Bills are the betting favorites to win the Super Bowl this year.

How is this even a discussion?

The proof is in the pudding. The pudding, in this case, is "one of the best rosters in the NFL, perennial playoff contention, and Super Bowl betting favorites".

But sure, let's engage in advanced analysis and arcane thought experiments for another 10 pages.

Beane came after the 2017 draft and free agency period. He is only responsible for 4 years. 

[billsfan4ever63]

instead of just looking at draft picks how about you evaluate the whole team. with that i say a plus. when is the last time we could feel this good about our chances to win. i love this team, of course i wish a few players were better considering where they were drafted but as a whole  how can anyone complain about the team we have now.

We will just have to agree to disagree, because quite honestly all your examples up there are incredibly inaccurate and quite the stretch of the imagination.  
 

And sorry, your explanation and defense of your original comment saying this is how you do analysis is just not accurate either.  
 

And once again…the Buffalo Bills are considered by most to have the most talented ROSTER in the NFL top to bottom.  A roster thats been almost entirely built and retained by Beane.  So sorry, but your opinion of Beane has been “average” outside of Allen is highly inaccurate.

Sorry man, not picking on you but this is also wrong.  
 

Beane came in right after the draft and immediately put his stamp on the team BEFORE the season began.  He signed players, cut players, traded away players and traded for players all that season that led to a playoff birth.  And some of those moves also helped our draft capital to get both Allen and Edmunds.

So Beane has been a big part of all 4 playoff seasons the last 5 years.  He just refuses to look at facts.

- Signed Anquan Boldin (retired 2 weeks later)

Yeah, it was sarcasm.  They got rid of the talented-but-underperforming players who were a bad example for the rest of the team, especially the younger players who were (to be) drafted, as well as getting something substantial for Tyrod.  And the results speak for themselves.  They've been considered a SB contender the past 2 years and will be for the foreseeable future now that they have Josh, a guy most experts and teams wanted to avoid in the 2018 draft.

PROVE to me that Beane would not try to get a Franchise QB if Josh didn’t pan out. PROVE to me that would have been impossible. The Cards took the wrong guy, then fixed it. Could we have landed on Herbert? You can’t prove what might have happened in another reality.

You can get as granular as you like and look at the roster with a microscope. That’s your prerogative.

 

Me? I’ll reiterate that the proof is in the pudding, and that being perennial playoff contenders and Super Bowl favorites is pretty convincing pudding.

[DabillsDaBillsDaBills]

Is Beane perfect? Of course not. No GM is perfect and Beane has made some mistakes (off the top of my head I would say the Lotulelei and Murphy contracts, and the Teller and Benjamin trades). 

 

Is Beane one of best GM in the league? Most definitely, and many consider him to be the best GM. Our roster is probably the most talented in the league this year and we're poised to be contenders for years. 

 

It's true that a lot of that has to do with Allen, but Beane is the one that picked him and deserves full credit for how the Bills look now.

Not to mention other trades that helped our draft to get both Allen and Edmunds and cleared cap space and culture change.  Trades like Darby, Dareus, and Cordy Glenn.  

 

Not to mention decided the 53 man roster.  What is clear is you really seem to think the only thing a GM does is the draft.

I was at the game IN NASHVILLE last year where Josh slipped at the goal line or we probably win that game. It “proves” nothing. That could have gone either way. Are the Jags a better roster, too, because we lost down there?

You can continue to get granular and try to distract from the discussion at hand by sidetracking people with questions of your own while refusing to answer the questions of others.

I think Beane is a good GM and have pointed to facts that help to prove that point.

 

You think he’s average to below average, though you refuse to explain how an average to below average GM assembled a Super Bowl favorite. (Note: you can’t just say “he hit on the QB, that’s the only reason why”, because there are plenty of teams with great QBs who AREN’T in the top five Super Bowl betting odds).

You realize that the titans roster has changed….. as has ours.  The teams that beat us are not the same as the 2022 titans.

 

I don’t think any non titans fan on earth would agree with you, that the titans have a better roster than the Bills.  

Comparing and deciding “who’s best”  between the Bucs and Rams vs the Bills is tedious.  Both very talented…as are the Bills.  
 

It seems as if you underestimate the word “easy”.  The question asked is not an easy answer.  Ask every sports book.

And hate to break it to you…but “Missed a third of the season”…means he played TWO THIRDS of the season…as our starter, and our secondary was a strong point that season.  Guess those 11 games he started for us don’t count.  Guess the snow game win where KB caught the TD didn’t count either.

it's incredible to me that the nfl community thinks beane is one of the top in his game,  has put together one of the most complete rosters in the league, and some fans still can't cope with it.
