I disagree with the praising of someone by a coach as being sign of them not being on the same page. If your trying to get value for something, wouldn't you want to advertise that in a positive light? Why not have his coach's make positive remarks. Plus, while is nice to have a QB coaching fellow players, but would rather have the higher pick, and more work for the play with more upside myself.
Agree that they didn't have a QB that was ready to play, but was that completely Whaley's fault, or was it lack of QB Coach and coaching of players had a large part of reason?
