PrimeTime101 Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 This is a good RT that could start for us today, had a great year for Denver last year... at 31 years old he would be a cheap fill in for 1 year till we resolve it in a future draft. At the least, he will compete with Brown... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrags Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Because Beane and the Bills brass have already expressed their belief in Brown and regardless what many fans think, he is their guy at RT moving forward. 1 1 9 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's an assumption not fact. They specifically said this off-season they were going to look over every position this year to see how we could improve (within reason) Edited April 3, 2023 by PrimeTime101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just reading the writing on the wall. They aren’t going to upgrade the RT spot. Unless someone falls to them in the draft they weren’t expecting to be there and they can’t pass it up. we can wish and hope all we want, but consistently this FO has disappointed us when it comes to what we think they need as far as competition and what they actually do. Look no further than being disappointed again. Just saying. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papazoid Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 he'd make a good swing tackle...had starts at both sides last year about as good as dawkins and way better than quisenberry and brown. if at $1.9 mil .....a no brainer 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF they feel they SO good at RT then why would they even have T anywhere on their radar? Guess we agree to disagree on this one Just now, papazoid said: he'd make a good swing tackle...had starts at both sides last year about as good as dawkins and way better than quisenberry and brown. if at $1.9 mil .....a no brainer THANK YOU!!! jeez... no brainer spot on..

Look no further than being disappointed again. Just saying. The Bills overall evaluation of talent is questionable at best. And especially poor on both lines. That they think that Spencer Brown is good enough to be a starter on a Super Bowl contender is curious at best, and down right negligent at worst? Fortunately we hit on an amazing QB. Because if not for Josh Allen, McBeane would have been working for LL Beane by now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF they feel they SO good at RT then why would they even have T anywhere on their radar? Guess we agree to disagree on this one FYI, I never said I wouldn’t bring someone in. I think they should. Personally I’d take someone to compete with Dawkins for LT and the loser goes to LG. At least on paper that sounds great, but Dawkins would be much better suited at G imo. And…. He’s coming to the end of his contract. Only 2 more years left I believe. I’d be searching for his replacement at the very least. and they would be foolish to not even be looking at all the options available to them in every draft and FA. You don’t completely discount any position just because you have someone there already. You may find someone completely better. But that’s the argument for Best Player Available with each pick vs drafting for need. like I said, I’m not disagreeing that we should be looking at every option. We should. I’m simply stating that I’m following my gut that Beane will not replace or find someone to compete with Brown this year in FA or draft. UNLESS, someone falls to them at a spot they never imagined would happen. Either way, neither of us can be proven right on what the FO is thinking. Unless youve got Beanes phone number and want to give him a text and see what he plans on doing. 4 minutes ago, NewEra said: if he was so good last year, why would he sign for 1.1M?

I’m simply stating what I think is going through their heads and what I expect them to do. If you think we’re going OT, look to be disappointed is all I’m saying. 5 minutes ago, Yantha said: 7 penalties and 6 sacks allowed.

I’m positive he has more upside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because if not for Josh Allen, McBeane would have been working for LL Beane by now. I wouldn't call the Bills talent evaluation "questionable at best." The Bills have won 10+ games four consecutive years - a feat the franchise has accomplished only once before in its long history. Apparently Beane isn't fielding JUCO kids out there. And you can't discount Allen - Beane maneuvered and got the guy he wanted. He deserves credit for that. With an above average W-L record, the evidence indicates the Bills are above-average in talent evaluation and acquisition. You say they think Brown is good enough to be a starter on a Super Bowl team. I'm guessing you are not a board-certified mind-reader. What GMs and HCs say in public and what they think in private are two very different things. I personally have no idea of what they actually think of Brown. Clearly, Beane has made some mistakes - as all GMs do (I agree he's neglected the OL). And just as clearly, he hasn't been good enough (yet?) to build a SB-caliber roster. But suggesting that he'd be working for LL Beane now if not for Josh is a nice play on words but tremendously overblown. Beane is good at his job. The only question is he good enough? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreggTX Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 He's not very good. You can't build a good OL by signing only low quality linemen. At some point you need to sign good or elite linemen. We have too many low quality offensive linemen already. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan89 Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 I wouldn’t hate the depth move but I do agree with some of the other posters that the front office has a belief in Brown at RT for some reason… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills acquired an adequate LT and Center. Since 2021, the blueprint on the Offensive Line is surround with cheaper, low-end starters.
