[Would Marv Return as GM of the Bills?]

Is that what I said? No. For better or worse, Donahoe was certainly more involved than Levy on draft day, which is what I thought you meant by "Marv did bring more oversight into the draft."

 

Perhaps you want to reword that statement.

 

 

What I meant by more oversight was that in Marv's press conference when he was introduced as GM, he said he wanted to build a more "consensus" model within the front office. So instead of one guy just running the show, he wanted to get everyones input before making a decision. At least that's what he said. So I'm sure he made sure they were drafting the right guys and not just aimlessly drafting a bunch of players like most of Donahoe's drafts seem to look like.

hence the three headed GM we have now

 

 

Exactly, so I'm not sure why Marv thought the job was so taxing when the power was more divided up.

[Would Marv Return as GM of the Bills?]

He undoubtedly never will come back as GM. Why? Because there are too many non-football aspects of the job, he made that very clear when he retired the last time.

 

 

Didn't they divide up the front office after 2005? Didn't Ralph divide it up into business operations and football operations? Ralph said he'd given too much power to Donahoe while he was here and wanted to end that.

[Would Marv Return as GM of the Bills?]

More than the man he replaced, Tom Donahoe? Really?

 

 

Oh come on, you honestly think Donahoe did a better job in the draft room than Marv Levy?

[Would Marv Return as GM of the Bills?]

You're wrong. It was Marv's decision to walk away.

 

 

I would of at least given him an offer if I was Ralph Wilson, and let him sit on it. Ralph didn't do anything.

[Would Marv Return as GM of the Bills?]

Do you have any idea what you are talking about? Marv did not want to be GM. That's why he left. Modrak does the college scouting and has a big say in who we draft, even when Marv was here.

 

But Marv did bring more oversight into the draft.

[Would Marv Return as GM of the Bills?]

NO and WHY?? Do you think that the additions and moves this year have been a problem???

 

No, I thought the additions made in the draft and FA this year were significant upgrades. I'm not saying Russ Brandon is a bad GM, but after seeing what Marv has rebuilt in Buffalo, I would of liked to see him get an extension on his contract. I'm sure Marv would of taken it. Then again Ralph Wilson doesn't like good GMs all that much. He did throw out Bill Polian after all.

[Would Marv Return as GM of the Bills?]

Marv built most of the current nucleus, but you need to build more than one nucleus in order to remain a perennial contender. You need a constant influx of talent. I don't think Russ Brandon will be a bad GM for the Bills, at least not Donahoe bad, but I'm more confident in Marv's GM abilities at this point. Can't Ralph Wilson convince him to sign another contract as GM of the Buffalo Bills? I would have loved to see where Marv was going with this team under his guide.

 

Anyways, does anyone see Marv possibly returning as GM of the Bills?
