Whaley good or bad will probably make the cut after this season.
But, out of interest this "was and still is spoken in high regard in the league" where does this come from? the bobbleheads on ESPN? I would genuinely like a link from some team executives actually saying this. because I am aware of no one.
Does he forward funny jokes about sex? yea, maybe thats where the respect comes from. he failed two years in a row to find even a serviceable LG. His starting QB was pulled off a couch a week bedore the opener. His #16 QB pick was reach of epic proportions, his trade for Watkins which may and probably will pay dividends down the road.But, was a move that a GM with little experience would make. Thinking Watkins would put the team over the hump with clowns masquerading as QB was a mistake. This team is far and away from a single player making that type of difference.
So yea, what currently employed GM in the NFL is talking about how good Whaley is? I don't see it.
