What could have been. McD and Beane

Josh Allen helps, too. A great QB makes coaches and GMs look good. Put Josh Allen on our roster and you’d all be singing the praises of Rhule and Fitt. Panthers need a break at QB. 

Ehhh I agree to an extent but I still think Matt Rhule is an inferior coach to McDermott. Also Brandon Beane has been one of, if not the best, GM since starting at Buffalo. I'm excited for Fitts future but he's got a long way to go to prove himself like Beane has. 

 

Ultimately I agree having a stud QB solves a lot of issues but the Bills are a contender due to the team they've built and coached around Allen in addition to the talent himself.

Nope. It would be a Texans/Watson or Lions/Stafford situation. Hell even a Rivera and Shula/Cam in some ways.

I agree a QB is paramount but put them with inept coaching who can only surround them with trash and a career will be wasted.

Rhule and Fit have not shown anything that even puts them at that level let alone average.

Anyways, the McD/Beane fiasco while clinging to Hurney is a great example of the failure of this franchise.

I made a point Beane was the future and should be the one to replace Hurney. Told again by the typical crew how wrong I was and how much better Gettleman was for the Panthers future. I obviously had zero clue on Beane's trajectory in the NFL.

I knew Gettleman was a path to missed opportunity and a long winter for the Panthers, and once again history proves me correct.

McD is a great coach but would Tepper allowed him to be the coach or would he have been a meddling owner just as he is now.  Tepper has not been a good owner and for a franchise to be successful it needs 1). Great coach  2). Great GM   3). An owner that lets the great coach and great GM to do what they do best....and stay out of their way.

    • We don't need to know what % was his fault last year because it was all bad enough to know to not sign up for more of it. Look at the stuff he was directly responsible for being the point man on, the pro-personnel, and the stuff he was involved in should tell you enough. If you have to discount it to make it look better than you already knew the answer. It's just making excuses for all of those people. Hoping something changes while discounting the work they already done here has proven to be a losing strategy every time so far. Maximus Copius Bulshitetus i think is the Latin name for that phenonium. 
    • 1) Signed 2 high profile guards to big contracts. Did we need guards? Yes. But there's a reason you draft guards and pay tackles. It's easier to find solid guards in the draft. Now we have the most expensive line in the league and still can't get 100 yards passing before halftime.  2) Traded up to get a RB when we didn't really need one. Chuba is one of the better RBs in the league right now and while it is a contract year, we had a crap ton of holes all over. Brooks was a luxury pick we didn't have the luxury to make. 3)Spending a small fortune to build a supporting cast for BY. Bryce didn't even put the work in himself during the offseason by his own admission. We didn't need to build an offense specifically for BY. We brought in DJ and drafted XL. These guys need a QB with a live arm. That's not BY. Speed kills but not when your QB can't legitimately make an accurate, deep ball strike without putting a ton of air under it and floating it.  4. Not looking for a true center. There were several available and it's been a position of need for years. We could have had our choice but we rolled with Corbitt, who did look good at the spot, but had an injury bug that struck again this year.  5) He didn't bring in any serious competition for Bryce. Now you can say that BY needs time to develop and we needed to show we had faith in him, blah blah blah. But the simple matter of fact is Bryce looked like a PS QB last year, Andy has one foot in the QB grave, and there was never an attempt to actually compete for the job. If he genuinely believed that BY was going to magically make it all come together watching YT and chillin for 4 months to unplug, then there's nothing else that needs to be said.  The goal of every GM should be to build a winning team. Players are commodities and loyalty leads you to an early walk out the door. We've tried to build a system to work around the most limited QB in NFL history. 60 years of history should have told him it was never going to work. And benching BY after 2 games is the real truth, he never should have been starting anyway. And either Dan should have known that as the great MLB that he was after watching BY's game tape, or someone else is making the call and Dan is just rubberstamping that decision.  Either way, doesn't matter. We're screwed because we've devoted 2 years of resources to build around a player that didn't put in the work in the off season after one of the worst NFL QB seasons ever. 
    • Something I find interesting is that you are more likely to find successful players as UDFA's than you are to find them with a single pick in any round past 3.  Those 3rd round compensatory choices?  Largely worthless.  Yes, I get it, there are a lot more UDFA's than there are drafted players in later rounds.  Basically, if you're fishing for starters you are simply not going to find anything in Rounds 4 - 7 with any regularity.
