Once financial concerns override winning, then you're going to have a problem with motivation. The Bills are going to mail this game in. No question in my mind.
So because Rex scapegoated Roman, Whaley didn't scapegoat Rex? Back to logic class...
It's all good. We'll just be back here in another year or two hearing how none of this is Whaley's fault.
Yeah, that's his job.
But why throw him under the bus after one season? That's ok because he didn't have the final sign off on the hire? He was very quick to scapegoat both HCs he's had.
You're letting him off way to easy, IMO.
If he's a true team player then he should be doing everything he can to support his HCs. Instead, he's a major reason in why they are leaving. That's not good.
Lol. Right.
He can't work with Marrone... Marrone is gone.
He throws Ryan under the bus saying that Ryan hasn't produce with the "elite talent" he has provided... Ryan gone.
Now he leads the search again with no responsibility for how the the previous two situations ended?
You are in a dream world if you don't think he is a major factor in the disfunction. But carry on with your spin.
Rex was right.
How do you think Kyle Williams or Hughes or Gilmore or a host of others feel about the team risking an injury to them in a meaningless game? Either play it like a preseason game or play to win.
Agree with this. I think Whaley has done a good job personnel wise but his relationship with the HCs has been very sketchy despite all the public BS about working together well. It seems like he kisses up to the owners and throws the HC under the bus for all the teams issues. That's not good leadership.
It has nothing to do with smarts, IMO. To play Rex's defense, you need a "lock down" cornerback and the Bills don't have one. I'm not saying that Gilmore is bad, far from it. But he is not elite, which is what is required.
Lol. This thread is good. It sums up my attitude as well.
What happens to Schefters credibility if Rex isn't fired after today's game? Nothing right? That's the problem. Maybe if there were some real consequences they would be more careful about throwing around speculative reports concerning people's jobs.
Lol. Close enough if it helps your case.
But in any event let's see what works out first: the Jets drafting a QB every year or the Bills do it once every 3.
