did a great job getting us out of cap hell. also did nothing to make the team better once we had a roster good enough to compete for a super bowl for a hawwwg mawlie enthusiast using first round picks on shaq and vernon butler which were luxury picks while strutting out the likes of nate chandler, byron bell, matt kalil, mike remmers to protect your franchise QB was malpractice. and then of course the norman fiasco and drafting kelvin benjamin over davante adams, jarvis landry and allen robinson and doubling down on devin funchess the next year. for a guy that "came from scouting" it was crazy how he drafted 2 tall unpolished receivers simply because Cam "threw high" I remember him and Rivera thinking Byron Bell would be a better left tackle than right tackle because he was left handed lol

Beane took over in 2018 after Josh Allen was drafted. He's drafted 2 Pro Bowlers his entire tenure. James Cook and Dawson Knox The Bills had a generational QB fall into their lap and have wasted his prime much like we did with Cam. Alot of parallels and it's even funnier when they've had so many of our former players and built their front office around our old employees

News all over the interwebs this morning about the Hornets talking to the Knicks about trading for Karl Anthony Towns https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nba/charlotte-hornets/news/hornets-have-engaged-trade-talks-karl-anthony-towns/36c895a74fd0b50c79902884

The problem is that legit contenders would also be willing to offer that. The only way we likely lure in a player like Hendrickson is offering him more, maybe considerably more, than teams in better situations to compete now and that gets very very dicey with players on the wrong side of 30.

Mike McDaniel feels like the lockiest of locks that ever locked for Titans OC .

I mean, it's still one of the best jobs that one could have, only 32 in the world. Tom Pelissero said to watch for Sean McDermott at that very same job on Rich Eisen yesterday, & extolling the virtues of the job and why McDermott might end up there. They wanted Saleh however. I can't wait to see what he does. This is his last chance to be HC more than likely. He'll get that defense up and running again, no doubt. What will probably be key is his hire for OC.

If he is carrying a dual role, I suspect that the Bills will decline in the near future. The worst thing for someone with ego issues is expanding their powers.

Yikes at Caleb

I heard on ESPN or Fox Sports, that Beane's role has actually been expanded. He's President of Football Operations, but he still retains his role as GM.

It's a tough call between Twatter and TikTok. The dumber people I tend to run across are heavy TikTok users. All social media is the worst posion humanity has ever created, though. Of that there is simply zero doubt.

I think Beane got moved out of his GM role for some valid reasons. He shares a lot of the blame for a bunch of critical FA whiffs and poor draft picks. Also, he has made a lot of passionate "defenses" of his errors in the media and blamed some of their lack of draft success on not picking higher in the draft. Based on his own words and actions, I would be inclined to want better for us. Now, is he better than Dan Morgan? Very possibly. I am just not convinced that is a high bar to clear yet.

I would give that illustrious characteristic/title to X, formerly known as Twitter. Well, maybe so called social media in general. X is just the top, or the bottom...

LLM's are largely terrible and will likely remain so for at least a decade. I agree AI might eventually be useful but it's absolutely dreadful right now. It's biggest use has been to identify the dumbest people, TBH.

Also, I will say @kungfoodude, AI is not inherently a bad thing, especially within the context of the Internet, searching and aggregating information. You just have to realize that in its current iteration, it's not error free, so you have to check the sources, but the better it gets the more accurate it should get. It doesn't replace critical thinking, it's a tool in order to aid critical thinking. Just because someone uses AI to gather information doesn't make them wrong. It could make them "lazy" in the sense that they should double-check the veracity of information and sometimes they don't. But, AI is a tool, at least for now, and that's really the concept behind AI: to aid humanity. It may be a wondrous thing a century from now.

I think you have to look at Beane's outcomes in Buffalo (a team that was a shambles when he got there) and see how they were able to come from the cellar into the catbird seat for nearly a decade, supplanting and eventually uprooting the legendary Pats and Belichick. Morgan has had... it's probably too early to grade Morgan's effort. Our move from the cellar upwards coincided with some crashing under their own weight by our division mates. Straight up, though, I'd take Beane in a minute.

Nah, just a modern world full of typos with the emergence of texting while doing other things

Yeah, that was such a bad decision. The Titans are awful. He really must be HC desperate.

I wouldn't at the cost it will require. We aren't one piece away, we are several. I also want an elite pass rusher(or rushers) but selling out your future for the present is how we ended up so bad in the first place. For a team with as bad of a roster as we have, those draft picks are like a bevy of lifelines to help us pull ourselves out of the quagmire we are currently in. Trading picks is like intentionally cutting them. If Trey is a cheapish option, fine. I can predict an Evero still here future on that, in the 2027 offseason people will be saying he should be cut and we were idiots for signing a guy that only got 5-7 sacks. "Trey is washed! Should have traded for *insert younger player who would also have performed poorly in this defense*!"

I did, it's one guy speculating and also calling the Raiders a premier NFL job, which made me laugh for about a minute straight.

McDaniels interviewed yesterday and Evero today for the Raiders job. Knock it out of the park, Evero!!!

He has had two concussions and two shoulder injuries(one in college). https://www.draftsharks.com/fantasy/injury-history/cj-stroud/13539 It's funny that Bryce may end up being the most durable of all these guys.

This is how low modern critical thinking is, eh?

Our triumvirate of awful GM's in Hurney, Gettleman and Fitterer will be tough for most franchises to beat. Fitterer may have been worse than Matt Millen.

It is if they are complete projects.

Cj missed 3 games because of a concussion right? I think they are David Carring him just like they did to Carr. Get a decent QB and don't protect him, it's the Houston way.
