"a Panthers team that has consistently competed at a high-level in this league"

 

We haven't had back to back winning seasons in our franchise history. Does this guy know that??

But we are almost always right around .500, even when we "suck". And, we rarely stay down for long.

The first time I heard his name was when Hurney was fired for sucking.

The general huddle feeling was that of dread that this kid would become our GM.

Fast forward, now the huddle acts like we lost our actual GM.

 

Peace out Beane-Boy.

He leaks the Panthers draft board and then just confirms it by being hired by the Bills. What does JR do, yup nothing. Maybe we will get an extra shield on the field this year. Whooooooh 

Voth has reported that Samuel was above the guy they took and that Moton was above the Temple guard they took by trading up. There was no leak at all.

Bills hired Panthers assistant GM Brandon Beane as general manager.

He replaces Doug Whaley, though he might not have the power of a traditional general manager. By all accounts, new coach Sean McDermott is now calling the shots in Buffalo. It will be Beane's job to work in concert with his coach, and supply the kind of players he's looking for. Beane, who has ties to McDermott after overlapping with him in Carolina, arrives with an excellent reputation as a personnel man. That's true of most new general managers, however.

Pretty much.

And to be clear, there's pretty much zero evidence that Beane tipped picks. That's just a bunch of tinfoil hat nonsense.

Likewise, the team could have blocked this interview if they wanted but it's not their policy to stand in the way of people advancing. It happens to every NFL team so complaining about it is dumb.

As to Beane, I'm not really upset. I want someone with a solid scouting background to succeed our GM. That's not Beane.

Most of y'all don't even know what beane did exactly and wouldn't even know his name if he weren't the temp gm when hurney got the boot. Quit acting like your mom left you on the steps of an orphanage. 

Oh and him accepting a higher position with another team is not a slight against the Panthers nor does it prove he was a mole

I'm glad. I didn't want him as our GM when he was the temp one before Gettleman, and I don't want him in the future. I'd rather have a former scout. You can teach a scout how to write a contract (or they can just hire a good lawyer to do it for them), but you can't just make a financial guy live and breathe football.

      his height, size and arm will forever cause problems and limitations...that is what it is.  I think to a degree, the law of averages is just coming into play a bit with him.  So as he plays more and more, you just flat out get the decent days mixed in too.  Which is just going to happen.

      Good point. He's definitely better in 10-15 yards. I think that's his biggest improvement. But he wasn't 3-10 +15, he was 3-7, with at least one drop (minor but still). And with multiple passes at 14 yards completed. This passing chart doesn't look like at By one, lol. He threw more "deep" passes than Mahomes (NOT comparing him to Mahomes in a skill way lol), or at least more beyind 10 yards.

      Karlaftis and Danna have been pretty inconsistent so teams have been doubling Jones and able to contain their pass rush.   But the good thing is that yesterday, we schemed well against Steve Spags Defense, Canales married the surrounding personnel with his QB through play designs within his comfort zone and was able to get downfield at will.  He was able to execute higher difficulty throws and look a lot more comfortable.  It tells me that Canales has a good system in mind, and had an edge gameplanning wise against Spagnuolo - which is nice to see.  It's a bit to see-saw at times with either going way too pass heavy or way too run heavy, but I think he's finding out what works.  It takes time to have it come together, and sure, I could see regression happen against a better front-7, but this was good for the entire system gelling.
