Balanced alternate view. Respect that .
I was not commenting on agholor or Jonnu as person, the fleecing was more with respect to how their performance is commensurate for the dollars. As for agholor his fumbles and drops have lost us more games than his play has won. So in that regard it's a miss.
Wynn was already performing sub optimally and had health issues and attitude issues prior to 5th year . Signing his tag was something that was universally condemned in 4th year not something that I came up now.
Spending 25 million on TE without having game plan is criminal . We just spent so much because we couldn't draft , nor develop players . And in the end the net results are there to see. 45 + million across Wynn, agholor, Henry and Smith . It's retrospective but reflects the poor assessments and in teams with 2 or more losing seasons gets the GM fired. I am not saying we need to do the same .but we need to acknowledge we have a problem . No point buttering it up just because bill has won six rings while having the GOAT QB. I understand rebuilds take a while but this year's experiment essentially put a reset clock on rebuild and again we are starting at year 1 . Bengals did a reset in 2 years with Burrow.
Again Burrow and Mac are not same . But if we say we have an advantage in coaching , that did not come up . We played or stank at jets level this year .
Regarding Michel, bust might be a strong word. I retract that . But you don't draft bell cows at 31 when you can get similar production in lower rounds Harris, rham, Pacheco, pollard etc. That was a water of draft pick .
The very fact that we have not resigned any of our first rounders since McCourty tells me we have been really missing the mark and brady and scar making up for the whiffs. Now that they are not there it's plain vanilla to see.
I am a big bill supporter but I just think offense ( playcalling and drafts ) needs to be handled independently of Bill . The game has changed and unfortunately bill has not kept up with how teams are built on offense . Majority of 2021 investment on free agents is biting in dust . Leave apart Judon and Bourne , rest of the contracts are nothing home to write about . Mills is okay but has been frequently injured and godchaux and Henry are average. Henry this year was wasted completely.
Now you can say it's because of Patricia , but the blame for that goes to Bill .
Again I am no Bill hater and would love to see How bill adjusts and proves naysayers like me wrong . But we need to acknowledge that things were wrong so that we make suitable adjustments . Can't be middle of pack for next 3-4 years.
Need to have a goal for afc championship in next 2-3 years . Anything less than that severely diminishes bills stature as we inch towards Shula's record.
Andy Reid is within striking distance of Bills postseason records. Chiefs have gone to 5 consecutive AFC championships . We haven't won a postseason in 4 years . That's all to say .
