Beane and McDermott want to build the 2015 Panthers. 

 

Beane has mentioned that team specifically in comments, which proves it's on their minds.

 

IMO the see Josh as a version of Cam, only this time they won't ruin his career by having him take too much of a beating early on. That sort of explains most of their philosophy. 

 

The only major difference is they have never found their MLB equivalent. Other than that, they want a superman QB, jags at WR, and lots of resources spent on defense so they can scheme it up.

 

McDermott is distancing himself from Beane so he can avoid the blame, but I think it's clear as day where the philosophy comes from. 

Building around a 1 hit wonder team that lost by 2 TDS in the Super Bowl, went 6-10 the next year and has only made the playoffs 1 time since certainly would be an interesting choice of team build model.

 

Complete negligence if true.

Cook is having a pro bowl year.  Kincaid is having a pro bowl year. 

At this time Cook is one of the few extensions that is money well spent.

 

I fear Kincaid will be our next Milano contract.  Dump a bunch of money into a guy who absolutely cannot be depended upon to stay healthy.  I feel like his best value to the team will be as trade bait for a more durable player in a position of need.

 

Maybe the Bills are just unlucky, but they have a history of giving big contracts to guys right before they disappear due to injury. Tre White, Milano, Von Miller, Ed Oliver, and a few free agent WRs all come to mind.  They spend so much money on guys who don't play.

The biggest of them all -   Curtis Samuel.

He’s such a huge disappointment, I didn’t expect we were getting Jamar Chase or Jefferson but damn at least we should have got a guy who can separate and would have a chance of 1000 yards with Josh throwing to him.

 

Seems to happen with a lot of these jag receivers we’ve got in the last few years (Moore, Sheffield, McKenzie), we expect them to get better with Josh throwing to them but they don’t, not blaming Josh but it’s certainly strange. Mack Hollins got better though, that’s been the biggest loss

He’s been targeted 6 times this season. SIX! All year. Absolutely wild disconnect between front office and coaching staff. 
 

Something is not right when you give a guy 9 mil and he isn’t given any opportunities. It isn’t just Beane at fault here.

Go to 20:00-Marino, Jeremy, and Jerry O crush Beane for his failure to land Waddle.

 

Im majorly disappointed that Beane would not give up a 2026 1st for Waddle.  There will not be a WR as good as Waddle with our 1st round pick. We need the WR now! If we made the trade, Bills beat Dolphins imo.  If I was Josh, and I heard we could have had Waddle, but Beane wouldn’t trade a 1st- I’d be pissed off at Beane.
 

goto 28:00.  Bills squad speculates that there is competitive tension between McD and Beane.  They believe McD wants WR, and Beane doesn’t want one.  They believe that  Beane thinks he put together a good enough roster, and McD feels the opposite.  They say you never see the two of them together, and they use quotes from both to show their case.  And they said once you see it, you cannot help but see it.  That’s where I’m at.

 

This podcast automatically played after the Joe Marino podcast I listen to regularly, and I have to say that I really enjoy the mix of Marino,Ostroski, and White … Jeremy is far more palatable when teamed with truly knowledgeable co hosts

Ugh. I’m SO disappointed in this stiff. I thought for sure he’d end up being a productive WR2 here and his career here has been 🤮

I only listen to GR for the commercials, the rest of the programming is junk.

" Should Josh Allen be traded?"

28:00 was a great discussion. I don’t listen to a lot of pressers so how they broke down how Beane and McDemott are answering questions it is enlightening. 
 

I have my gripes with Joe, especially his pre draft evals and how he talked about Cooks value for a contract, but I think he hit it on the head when it comes to Keon.

 

Diggs forced his way out and Davis became a free agent. We went into 2024 with no one with significant stats with Josh. So drafting Keon and making him a starter out of the gate especially one who is basically a boundary receiver was not fair to him. Now he may just not be an NFL level player, but I don’t think this was conducive to him maximizing the talent he does have.
