Matt_In_NH Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 (edited) There are at least flour guys who were in bills camp on other teams 53 right now. Same thing happened last year. Allen and Diggs are responsible for those guys having jobs on other teams. Edited August 31, 2023 by Matt_In_NH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe ppl just miss Buddy Nix! 🙄 Depends upon one's perspective. Most of those players appear to be depth caliber to me with only a few exceptions. On D it's Oliver and Rousseau, but neither is much above average. Oliver's great when he's on, but his disappearance acts are concerning and they'll often last several games. I'd put him at above average but not by much. There's quite a bit of hope that Rousseau turns into a much better player too. But after his first few games last season he all but disappeared too. Half of his stats (Sacks, TFLs, QBHits) are in his first five games. After that in his next ten games his stats were below-average. So unless someone uses the lame defense that he was constantly double-teamed thereby opening things up for others nonsense, he was below average after that. He had 0 Sacks, 0 TFLs, and only 1 QBHit in both playoff games. Johnson's good as a nickel, but obviously they don't care for him enough to start at CB. Bernard, Elam ... meh. Bass, he's a kicker. Torrence looks the part as does Kincaid who's not listed as a starter. Cook has yet to prove that he can handle more than 140 touches in college or the NFL. Big season for him. Knox is OK but also inconsistent, and his drop % isn't low. Brown has yet to prove something. Davis is IMO the best draft pick that we have starting with this year's draft class pending. Oddly, that's a minority sentiment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 20 hours ago, ToGoGo said: “When will we hold Beane accountable.” ”Beane only hit on Allen and Diggs.” “Beane can’t draft in the 2nd round”. How is it possible 100 fans on this board suddenly started saying the same thing at the same time? I swear some people on this board secretly want it all torn down so they don’t have to deal with the pressure of winning and rooting for a winning organization. Ive consistently belabored the fact that we have missed too often in the top 100, only to redraft those positions over and over again. We don’t pay Allen yet ($18M this year)keep redrafting the same positions, and covering it up in FA. It’s why we are negative space with for next year with only 2 DE under contract after drafting 3 in the top 100 in recent years. Which means we’ll draft at least one high again next year. The Bills aren’t broken. Beane doesn’t need to be fired. But he absolutely has to be better in this aspect or we might be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Success Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Beane had found gems, and had some misses. That's the NFL, and that's the NFL draft. Any analysis that judges how he has done HAS to be compared to the rest of the league. The Bills have done pretty well when you add that comparison into the mix - they're one of the better teams in terms of draft success over the past 4-5 years.

Oddly, that's a minority sentiment. i agree with almost everything but in response I'd say he won 3 straight divisions. 3 straight playoff Wins Built a juggernaut out of a terrible-mediocre team. Plus the genius move of using a 1st on Diggs which so many ppl here discredit him for because it was a trade. He has his faults like 31 other GMs butttt his positives far outweigh his negatives imo and I feel like the facts back that up He built 1 of the best QB/WR duos, which attracts FAs. Give the man his credit! it's so much deeper than talent. Look at our locker room. Our core guys matches up with any team Edited August 31, 2023 by JerseyBills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But since you did, consider a few alternate opinions. Was it a tough division during that stretch? Or would you say that it really hasn't been all that competitive? Which other QBs in the division have been very good or better consistently? 1 hour ago, JerseyBills said: Built a juggernaut out of a terrible-mediocre team. How much does Allen factor into that? IYO, say Allen was on any number of teams before this one, how would we have been then? You suggesting he'd only be good for a game or two back then? If Allen weren't his QB, how do you see our records? 1 hour ago, JerseyBills said: Plus the genius move of using a 1st on Diggs which so many ppl here discredit him for because it was a trade. He has his faults like 31 other GMs butttt his positives far outweigh his negatives imo and I feel like the facts back that up Genius? Anytime a team buys an establshed great player, I'm not sure I'd put that in a genius category. But opinions obviously differ. To me genius would have been drafting Jefferson instead at much lower expense for four seasons. Seems to me he had to sign Diggs because of all the whiffing on getting any great WRs here without buying an established one. JMO however. 1 hour ago, JerseyBills said: He built 1 of the best QB/WR duos, which attracts FAs. Give the man his credit! Again, due to Allen. Only possible because of Allen, nonexistent without him. Why aren't any of the other drafted positions playing at similar levels at their positions? 1 hour ago, JerseyBills said: it's so much deeper than talent. Look at our locker room.

His career numbers in just 2 seasons (1 being his rookie year all while learning a completely new NFL defense) included 4.5 sacks, 37 tackles 20 of which were solo, 5 TFL's, 8 QB hits, 1 fumble recovery, 2 passes defensed, & 1 INT . He also recorded 2 of his sacks & 1 pass break up in his 4 post season appearances. So i would say he was setting the world on fire but in a rotational role & 1 of those years being his rookie season Beane could have done a hole lot worse with that pick .

Nihilarian Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Just stop with this draft pick stuff...Some Bills fans still can't get over the Donte Whitner pick... Let...it... go... as this team was just 13-3! The Buffalo Bills have one of the very best, if not the best darn QB in the NFL, and some can't stop talking about a missed draft pick in some round. EVERY TEAM MISSES SOMETIMES! Guess who moved up in the 2018 draft to select the ONE QB worth anything, Yea, that's right, Brandon Beane. Now, if he has selected Backer Mayfield #1 overall, then complain. If he has selected Sam Darnold #3 overall, then complain. Now, imagine being a NY Jets fan when the team could have drafted Allen, and instead drafted Darnold...then went on to miss on Zach Wilson with the #2 overall in 2021. IF Beane HAD DRAFTED THE GUY SO MANY BILLS FANS WERE CLAMORING FOR IN JOSH ROSEN. Some don't wanna recall that they wanted Beane to give up the farm to trade up to the #2 spot with the NY Giants to get Rosen. Where is Rosen now? I'll bet that every team in the NFL that drafted before the #7 pick wishes they had drafted Josh Allen. Anyway, who shives a git about trading away a guy they were gonna outright cut if they couldn't find a trade partner? Just be happy that this team didn't give up 3 #1 picks to trade up to draft Trey Lance! Only to give him away for a 4th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rock-A-Bye Beasley Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 I’m actually more concerned with their unwillingness to trade picks for established players now that we have the star QB in place. As many have said in this thread, the hit rate on draft picks just isn’t good so getting an established above-average player in exchange for one is good value. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he’s still valuable in the NFL. Point Beane. 0 Peepee. You continue to cherry pick. Provokes don’t matter. Ok. Then it’s ok we have now moving forward. You’re in a minority. Edmunds secured a $72 mil contract so obviously someone thought he was a good LB. where in my msg did I write something about the chiefs draft?
