Aussie Joe Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 29 minutes ago, BillsFanForever19 said: I've been saying all along that we're going to sign a David Quessenberry level OT, or simply bring back Quessenberry himself, and Draft an OT in the mid rounds. Have a competition between the 3. One would start, one would be a Swing Tackle, and one would replace Tommy Doyle. If you listened to Beane at all, he was never going to outright replace Spencer Brown. He's consistently said he feels him having to have back surgery in the Offseason, not having a Training Camp, and being nicked up throughout the season was the cause of him underperforming. And there may be some merit in that. Beane's covering his bases in the event Brown does become a long term issue. But he was never giving up on him. People who were expecting that were fooling themselves. There was never going to be an Orlando Brown level signing to outright replace him. I dont see Brown being a "long term issue"... If Brown doesnt improve this year then he will be gone...Just like Ford who they persevered with longer than they should have hoping he would "come good", but 3 years was enough to get the message... Its a big roll of the dice that Brown will improve.. but maybe Beane will get lucky... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Lightning Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 7 hours ago, Process said: I really hope this isn't a sign of faith in Brown as a starter. Ideally he would be the one to fill the role of primary back/swing tackle and we would find a starter that isn't a complete turnstile. But if Q comes cheap then it wouldn't be bad to have both him and Brown as backups and this would be a nice signing/depth. Hopefully they still bring in someone that can at least compete and push for the starting job. Methinks Beane is in love with Brown's athletism and he ain't going anywhere. He's betting on Brown being healthy and taking a step next season. I am not as optimistic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAl2526 Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 Well, I'd take Quessenberry over Bobby Hart. I'm OK with this if they aren't locked into guaranteed money. Sign him, then look for someone who is better. Let him compete and if he can't win a competition, cut him and you've lost nothing. If you can't get anyone better because of the cap, at least you have a bit of insurance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LABILLBACKER Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 Just saw a bizarre stat. In 2021 Quessenberry led the NFL giving up 11 sacks. Yet PFF gave him a 81. How is that possible? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finding good offensive lineman is so hard to begin with if a player is solid they are solid really hard to find those dominant guys. There will be several free agents this year that by the end of the year will not earn their contracts. That’s why we should be drafting them.

ProcessTruster Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 I like the way Beane refuses to tie his hands in the draft. He will pick the BPA, knowing he already has enough players in each of his rooms for this season. McBeanes are playing the long game. I like it. Just now, ProcessTruster said: I like the way Beane refuses to tie his hands in the draft. He will pick the BPA, knowing he already has enough players in each of his rooms for this season. Re Spencer Brown, the guy was coming into the regular season completely cold after back surgery. He'll be better this season after having an offseason of completely healthy preparation. McBeanes are playing the long game. They shot their cap wad on shiny broken object with the half attached ACL Von M last year and got smoked. Not this year. I like it. Go Bills.

cwater10 Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 (edited) 16 hours ago, LABILLBACKER said: Completely agree. Quessenberry damn near ended Josh's season. I don't like him backing up either side. We better land 2 OL guys in the first 4 rounds or it will be a big middle finger to Josh. The reality is that comments like this are a big middle finger to Josh. Josh is not Jack Eichel. The organization does not exist to try to pacify him. That is why Josh > Jack and we don't need to worry about him throwing tantrums. Let Beane do his work. You don't go to camp in March and you don't go to camp with 50 guys all written in ink for roster spots. Josh also has about 240 million reasons to understand the constraints that Beane is forced to operate within. I suspect that instead of seeing middle fingers, he understands that the list of OL backups and camp bodies will not look like a Pro Bowl roster.

Hell, he can handle 4 of the 5 OLine spots. Be thankful that he’s being brought to camp and, if someone outplays him, he’ll garner a draft pick.

DapperCam Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 This guy is really bad when he has to play significant snaps. It was his complete whiff on a speed rusher when he was filling in at RT that got Allen’s UCL injured. I think this signing is an indication of how bad offensive line depth is across the entire league. Every team has scrubs like this playing backup. Some teams don’t even have 5 starter quality players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
