1) Brandon Beane/Sean McDermott, Buffalo Bills
The Bills' transformation since McDermott's hire in January 2017 could be taught in a college-level course on how to rebuild a franchise. McDermott helped to hire Beane in May of that year, and they've hit every right note since: from big trades (Stefon Diggs, moving up for Josh Allen) and savvy draft picks (Tre'Davious White, Dion Dawkins, Matt Milano) to knowing which veterans to reward (Jordan Poyer, Micah Hyde) and when to move on (John Brown, LeSean McCoy). The Bills have a defensive coach, yet prioritized building an offensive roster around Allen. They always seem to find value in free agency (SEE: this year's pickups of Jamison Crowder, O.J. Howard, Rodger Saffold, DaQuan Jones and Duke Johnson).

No team is doing it better, and these two -- along with Allen -- deserve credit for helping to get funding for a new Bills stadium.

Beane is an acquaintance of mine--played QB at South Stanly High School (a student of a good friend of mine) and went to UNC W.  For a few years, we were getting our cars inspected at the same time and talked for a few minutes when he was with the Panthers (early on).  In fact, I used to bump into Mike Turgovac (sp?) around town as well. But Brandon never seemed that smart--just average.  Of course, he is no Marty Hurney.  (By the way--Beane liked Marty Hurney and the team president--forgot his name).

Stupidest move this team made was letting Beane go. Sean was going to go no matter what, he was too good not to get an HC job. But Beane was our hand picked, hand groomed prodigy that JR let walk opting for literal trash instead. 

Richardson did not want Beane to leave. He was being considered to replace Hurney, but Richardson wanted him to be groomed some more. Hurney left with the expectation that Rivera would remain the HC and Beane would become GM. So, Gettleman was suppose to be the bridge to Beane. Wouldn't you know it, Gettleman spoke to the Bills and gave Beane a glowing recommendation. Bills hire Beane. Richardson learns what Gettleman did and fires Gettleman shortly after he pulled that stunt to get rid of his competition. So, with Beane gone thanks to Gettleman hoping he would have security with Beane out of the picture, Richardson went back to Hurney. Richardson was upset with losing Beane to the Bills. Gettleman blindsided Richardson.

That is the real legacy of Gettlemagic. The Bills seem to be the only team to have been rewarded with success due to Gettleman's decisions. Better luck next time Panthers and Giants.

Where did Fitterer stack up in the ranking?

Scott Fitterer, Carolina Panthers: Fitterer took over in January 2021, a year after coach Matt Rhule came aboard. So far, he's been part of a disastrous Sam Darnold trade, two underwhelming free agency periods and a draft that didn't bear immediate fruit. Passing on Justin Fields and Mac Jones looks worse a year later with the quarterback need even more pronounced.

Don't forget pouncing on the opportunity to pay third tier OL in the opening moments of free agency paving the way to fielding arguably the worst OL in the NFL. Oh, and trading a 3rd round pick for a bust of a former top 10 pick CB. Oh, and extending Robby Anderson and paying him like a top tier NFL WR. Oh, and trading a good starting LB for a late round draft pick to field trash at LB. 

I'm all for Fitterer following Rhule right on our the door when Tepper is ready to admit this collosal mistake.

    • I mean, if Moore really wants out, then it would behoove the Bears to make it happen sooner than later. X is a lot younger and cheaper, and may be a better fit for Johnson's musings than a disgruntled, unnecessary, overpaid vet. If they can dump his salary and maybe get a fourth or so in return, it may be worth it to them. As for development, I'm not concerned. You're talking about a seeming bust, a day three guy and a UDFA. They are developing relative to their ceilings. I doubt any of them will ever command the coverage, money, or the respect that Moore has acquired. He's a tier above them. Yes, even X. 
    • IMO, if Ceedee plays against us, the game probably goes the other way. Same with Tyreek Hill and the Dolphins. Our team just isn't designed to beat teams with two high level receivers like that. But when you look at the league, how many teams really have two guys of that caliber?  There's nothing wrong with defensive adjustments, but sometimes I think a lot of fans want Evero to call a different play like a game on madden, and defensive football just isn't like that. That said, I thought we did a much better job this season against the Cowboys of flipping Jaycee and at least making them work for it, opposed to last season when they literally just lined CeeDee up on the other side of the field every single snap.  For us to just straight up switch to consistent man coverage, or a different zone, or whatever, we likely would consistently need different personnel on the field. Doing it a few times a game is a gamble and can work, but if we consistently run man coverage against the Cowboys, eventually a RB is going to beat a linebacker, or something of that nature with our personnel. Part of the reason Evero likes this scheme is that, while we have our defaults and presets, what we do is very multiple, and you can do a lot of different things pre and post snap. We are a challenging defense to read. But as you said, if guys are getting beat, it doesn't really matter what you call.
