Your pretty dialed into NFL talk, etc. the comment " he is very well respected for his pro scouting........"
very well could have a bit of validity. but for three years this type of comment is repeated over and over. yet never with a link.
So, is there a link to any NFL executives anywhere actually saying that about Whaley? In some respects it is a believable comment. yet, I have never seen another teams exec. In print saying anything close to that? Possible local media has said it. What is that worth?
Whaley has presided over a medicore team. W's are a huge measuring stick. Polian got them, Doug does not. The immediate future looks like more of the same. it would be nice to actually read some executives comments about Whaley.
Who has actually gone on record on Whaley's perceived respect as a pro scout much less a successful GM?
