Beane's roster is being carried by his quaterback. Buffalo with an average QB isn't that great of a roster IMO. He also got very lucky that Allen developed the way he did. He is a unicorn when you look at his college tape vs his NFL. It's way too early to tell on Morgan IMO.

Playing QB in this league is tough. I can't hate on a man's work ethic without knowing exactly what it is. From everything I've read about him, I seriously doubt his work ethic has dropped. He had 2 concussions in 2 years, has his OL downgraded, got a different OC, and lost his best weapons due to injury in these short 2 years after his rookie year. Throw that in with teams having more film on him and the drop-off makes sense. Maybe he needs to change what he does in the offseason to adapt better, but I doubt he has an issues with work ethic.

Yeah you have teams that turn around quickly with players like Burrow (when healthy) and Allen. The Bears and Pats just took top QBs 2 years ago. Yeah it’s easier for the QB when they go to better rosters later, but the QB needy teams are typically at the top of the draft.

If we brings McDaniel as his OC it could get interesting

He is saying players that get drafted mid to late first round end up in better situations because they typically go to better franchises.

Dante Moore just returned to school and he was projected pick 2. NIL is a whole new ballgame. Plus if the class is as loaded as projected it might be smart to wait another year for some of these guys.

We should just trade them for each other to see if a change in scenery helps. If they want to throw in WAJ, I won't complain...

Carr, Lagway, Meste, Raiola would all still be underclassmen who can return for more NIL money. CJ Bailey at NCST is another QB who could make a nice leap next year.

Who in FA? Otton?

Looks like the Eagles are interviewing him for their OC job.

Don’t throw to the left…

You don't trade away one of the top LTs in the league when you don't have a valid replacement and your QB thrives in a pocket. They also traded away Kenyon Green OG to make cap space. They were wanting to make their defense elite at the expense of their offense which worked but Nico getting hurt followed by Schultz during the game absolutely finished off what remined of their offense. Those 2nd and 3rd round rookie WRs could be good, but they need some more time as most due picked in that range. I'm sticking with ALL QBs need protection and weapons to be competitive in this league. CJ for example wasn't playing that bad all year when he had his TE and WR1 healthy, his rookie year was and will be an outlier for the reasons you already mentioned. This playoff game was also an outlier for the reasons I mentioned.

This one would be nice! Sadiq and Hill are two immediate starters and some OL depth pieces are always appreciated.

All QBs need weapons and a decent OL. Bryce didn't have it his rookie year and now the Texans have gutted their OL to make their defense elite. Throw in CJ's only weapon, Nico, being out and yeah it's though to play well through all of that.

Impressive.

I heard they weren’t going to let him leave without pretty much giving him whatever he wants.

Looks like it’s the Giants. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/47616292/sources-john-harbaugh-giants-expected-barring-setbacks

I'd think most rational fans are happy with his playoff performance. Most just want to see him have consistency and his lows not be so low throughout the regular season.

I think he will go to NYG if he goes anywhere.

I would prefer someone from the outside to help grow Dave or Idzik as a playcaller. He has some potential but there have been several games where he was simply outmatched by his opponent. Dan leaving it to Dave means I kind of doubt it will happen, but it would do this staff a lot of good if it did.

The hope would be that people under/around that OC would learn some things from him.

I'd like to get Allar if he drops past round 3. Seems to have all the physical ability and I'm not sure Penn St has the best group around him aside from TW two years ago.

Seems a little mentally week to lead a NFL team. I know Darnold seems to have turned his mental issues around, but he wasn't having them in college on a loaded team like Beck did in UGA.

I'd love this pickup. A big upgrade from JHJ. Cade Otton from Tampa would be another nice upgrade. He is scheduled to be a FA and Canales has already worked with him in Tampa. LB, Edge, FS, and now OL should be big priorities this offseason.

I don’t know, I think Stroud and TMac would work great together. CJ has definitely regressed though. I still don’t understand why the shipped off his OL. He like most QBs operates best with a pocket.
