Beane concerned with Kyle Allen?

[MarkKelso'sHelmet]

I live outside the U.S., so I have to watch the feed from DAZN (which is awful, but that's another story)

 

This week we got the Chicago feed. The announcers were Jim Miller and some other guy. They actually did a good job focusing on both clubs, not only paying attention to the Bears.

 

But here's the interesting part. During the commercials, the feed stayed with the stadium broadcast. In one break, Miller and his partner's mics were left on and we got to hear their off air conversation. This is almost a direct quote (not sure if it was Miller or his partner who was speaking)

 

"Beane told me Allen has struggled from the very beginning. He just doesn't have what it takes / it's never gonna happen for him. He said he was very concerned."

 

Anyone else want to corroborate what I heard?

Wow. It looks like the Bills need a back up QB badly. 

 

Does anyone think Allen or Barkley  are serviceable if Josh goes down? Or does Beane have to make a move?

Ooops!

I wish they’d make a move.  I’ll take PJ Walker over these guys.  Hell, I’d take a chad Kelly over these bums

I was watching the bears broadcast too on NFL+. I wasn't paying attention during the breaks so I didn't hear. Although, I don't think it's a surprise to anyone if this is true. Allen has been garbage against 2s, 3s, and players that will be on the couch with the rest of us soon. He had one good throw, the TD to Morris. Everything else was an overthrow or off target.

 

Beane needs to go shopping for a competent backup. Too bad Fitz isn't willing to play a year on the bench.

I'm sure Fitz would sign with the Bills if they asked

[DapperCam]

Bills kicked the tires on Trey Lance apparently, which lines up with this story. Wish we could get back the NVP.

[MJS]

Wow, I did not hear that, but I missed a few portions of the game. Did anyone else hear that?

[GoBills808]

Why would Beane say that to a Bears announcer?

[Jamie Nails]

I was watching the Bears broadcast through YouTube TV. They had the Bears GM Ryan Pole in the booth in the second quarter. I didn’t pick up on these statements but highly likely it was conversation after his segment. Very telling still.

Jake Fromm State Farm hitting the streets?

[LeGOATski]

Did they mention Will Greer!!

Announcer said that on the game broadcast
 

I find that very hard to believe they don’t really dive into the negativity of players on these things

We have to immediately find an upgrade over Allen & Barkley.  I'll trade a 6th for Keenum at this point. Obviously we're all hoping nothing happens to Josh but if he went down early we're screwed.

Beane has been on Miller's SiriusXM radio show every year since he's been a GM. It seems they have a good relationship and not inconceivable that they speak off the record.

 

Beane's rumored persuit of Lance lends credence. 

 

Of course, the clear evidence is how poorly the backups have played, especially in terms of protecting the football.

[Simon Says]

I have serious doubts about the credibility of this. You didn't hear BEANE saying it?  You claim one  of the announcers shared that Beane told him this? I don't believe  Beane is that

reckless and stupid.

Don't worry, maybe he was just referring to Josh Allen.

That's not what off the record means

[pennstate10]

Uh…

Im not sure if you read the initial post. 
 

That’s exactly what off the record means.

No

 

If you tell a reporter something off the record it's not going to be repeated to a coworker, and definitely not in a professional setting w recording equipment rolling

You'd be surprised what reporters find out that they never actually report, and equally surprised how careless many people are around microphones. I didn't hear the slip-up myself but it's not totally unbelievable that this happened. I believe Beane has a good relationship with Jim Miller actually, he goes on his radio show a fair amount. GMs will divulge a lot of things in casual conversations off the air, especially inconsequential things like this.
