But it would be the same system foundation with the same players (including the quarterback). Lynn wouldn't have to be the OC or play-caller.

I couldn't disagree more and in fact think just the opposite. Hiring a Reich, McDermott, Joseph, Goodwin, or Richard would be a MUCH bigger gamble. Because not only are you hiring an unknown entity but you'll have to blow up the best offense we've had in well over a decade. Lynn is the smart choice. I'll be extremely disappointed if he's not this team's head coach in 2017.

Impediments and verbal communication are completely different things. A person can have a lisp or a stutter and still do well quickly translating logical thoughts into words. The road from Whaley's brain to his mouth is full of crater-sized pot holes.

lol Tell that to Jim Kelly and Tom Brady. Both drove their offenses to the opposing 30 yard line with seconds remaining. One is perceived a champion and the other is not because of two kickers. Seems like a fair sport. Nobody? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJx17nVZs7g

Because people actually think that "real" quarterbacks will win games no matter how many points the defense gives up. If the defense let's up a touchdown, well then the quarterback will just pass for a touchdown in response. Defense gives up a field goal? Well then our real quarterback will just pass for a touchdown in response. That's what a "real" quarterback does!

The entire Whaley PC situation is an interesting human experiment on how valuable a person's verbal communication skills are with regard to how his/her competence and/or intelligence is perceived. Whaley is a nervous nelly who can't string two words together without stumbling. Because of that not only is he seen as inept but the local and national narrative is that the franchise is one of "dysfunction". Never mind the fact that public speaking skills are basically irrelevant for a General Manager (unlike head coach).

Thank God the school/program that enables child rape lost.

That's because Pegula is the owner (did I really just have to type that?).

I think the fact that Pegula keeping Whaley employed in his position and putting this hire 100% in his hands is plenty of evidence to the contrary.

That's exactly how I interpreted it And I can't see how anyone could interpret it differently unless they're attempting to support their own pre-conceived agendas.

It would concern me more if he was a head coach where verbal communication, leadership qualities and thinking logically quickly are so important. A General Manager? Meh.

It's obvious Rex's scheme on D was holding the entire team back. I don't consider losing Rex Ryan a reason to think things are only going to get worse. Taylor isn't going anywhere. If he does then I'll join you.

#2 against the pass, #19 against the run

DVOA - Defense Pettine/Schwartz 2013 - 4th 2014 - 2nd Rex 2015 - 24th 2016 - 26th Game over.

In your own mind maybe.

I was in 5th grade. Boy did I take winning for granted.

It's really quite something.

It's all PR gaffes. Which means the perception is worse than the reality.

It's fake outrage from the Buffalo News media. They knew Whaley would embarrass himself because he's a horrible public speaker full of anxiety and has trouble translating his thoughts into words. Of course he was going to say something stupid.

What's Polian going to do? The game passed him by long ago.

Just can't take it too seriously. And many do and lap up all of the Buffalo News articles like they're gospel. But what can ya do.

Gotta find someone who split reps in his junior and senior seasons, is painfully slow and looks like this.

Take a cold shower, bareback.
