Our best uni is our throwback. Hands down--wish we never would have changed.

Never mind the fact that the most successful GM in our history was hired in the exact same fashion--with the exact same fans like you bitching about it.

Bob Sanders is very qualified to be the d coord. What went down in Green Bay could hardly be called his fault. His CV: 1978 Georgia Tech (Part-time Coach) 1980-82 East Carolina (Defensive Line/Linebackers) 1983-84 Richmond (Linebackers) 1985-88 Duke (Outside Linebackers/Defensive Ends) 1989 Duke (Co-Defensive Coordinator/Outside Linebackers) 1990 Florida (Defensive Ends) 1991-93 Florida (Ass. Defensive Co-Coordinator/ Banditbacks/Gatorbacks) 1994-97 Florida (Ass. Defensive Coordinator/Defensive Ends) 1998 Florida (Ass. Defensive Coordinator/Defensive Ends/Strong-side Linebackers) 1999 Florida (Ass. Head Coach/Defensive Ends/Strong-Side Linebackers) 2000 Florida (Ass. Defensive Coordinator/Linebackers) 2001-2004 Miami Dolphins (Linebackers) 2005 Green Bay Packers (Defensive Ends) 2006-2008 Green Bay Packers (Defensive Coordinator) 2009-present Buffalo Bills (Defensive line)

I think you are cutting the bag of crap short.

Good thing fans don't make those calls. Nor do they generally have a clue about talent. If no one wanted him, why did Green Bay counter our offer immediately? I know this. He will get a look. My guess is with Gaileys tendency to mold an offense around his guys -- I think Brohm has the most upside of all three. We will see. I know I won't go starting any threads proclaiming my Miss Cleo skills like yourself.

I agree with you, look at Tom Donahoe--he was a sexy pick. That being said--there are a lot of examples. Bill Parcells being the one that comes to mind instantly.

Unlike yourself, I do not believe my opinion has any effect on whether the Bills are successful or not. I would love it if I was the GM, but alas--I get paid for an entirely different expertise.

Like I said (you left out that part, ironically), I bet if you were alive and followed the Bills, I am sure you would have been one of the fans bitching about Polian and Levy. We were coming off a much worse stretch then.

Brohm is going to be Gailey's QB. Bank on it.

You keep saying this front office. This front office is like a week old. Williams and Mularkey were Tom Donahoe's hires--remember TD? He was a sexy pick. DJ was Marv's hire. Marv was another pick the fans loved. Like I said in my first post in this thread. Anything the majority of the fans are against, I am for.

I can't believe how much energy you waste protesting something you have no control over. You think a guy like Buddy Nix waits his entire career to be given the keys to a franchise--just to be told he has to hire someone that a jack ass fan thinks will do a good job? I will take Buddy Nix and his experience over any blow hard fan's opinion. Any day. He has his guy--I know he can pick talent. I think they get the job done.

Call me crazy, but I liked the Nix pick for GM. I like his experience, I like where he comes from football wise, I really like his attitude. Gailey--I am fine with his pick. It's his show to run. He obviously would have wanted Marty ball first, but he picked someone that he knew and had experience. I agree with Gailey that being on the same page is important. We have not been there in a long, long, time. I find it ironic that when Ralph promoted Bill Polian to GM, everyone hated that move too. When Polian hired Levy, same thing. Polian did the same thing Nix did--hired someone that he agreed with and knew. After reading this message board the last few weeks, I am thinking anything the majority of Bills fans don't like is a good thing.

Link What's happening now is eerily similar to what happened in '86 IMO. I think Ralph got it right this time. I think Buddy Nix is just what this team needed. Only time will tell.
