I'll be willing to bet there's secretaries that have been there as well. Can them too?
Such an idiotic statement...there is really no point in discussing this further when you have people who equate the positions that Russ has held (GM, President) with that of a secretary.
-
Good read and pretty much how I see things at OBD. Until Russ & Overdorf are gone this team will have a tough time succeeding.
-
Only saw him play one game, the Clemson thriller. I am going to assume he is exactly that player and the Bills are now set at QB for a decade.

Troll.
What part of my post was trolling? Do you know what trolling is?

Not that I don't think you're right but what exactly is Russ supposed to do when they come and ask him the questions about football decision?
Plug his ears and go "lalalalalala"....
No seriously, I don't have a good answer for that. My hope is that OBD gets to a point where Russ isn't consulted. I am rooting very badly for McD and his guys to come in here and take control and right this ship.
-
Do the Russ fans/defenders on here think Russ didn't advise Pegula to extend Whaley 15 months ago? It is more plausible that Terry and Kim did that on their own rather than consult with Russ?
I highly doubt that Russ wasn't consulted on that decision, which is where my frustration comes from. I think we can all agree Russ should never be consulted on football related decisions, but it appears he still has a voice.
-
What Pegula actually said about Brandon was:
"
Q: Terry, will Russ Brandon be involved in the search for a new GM?
Pegula: If we need to ask Russ questions, we're going to ask him. He's a member of the Bills' organization.
"
That's kind of a non-answer, but it certainly doesn't read as though Brandon will be intimately involved with the GM search.
It's only a non answer if you don't take into account the answers Terry gave before that question, regarding how the GM search will be a collaborative effort. Terry isn't dumb, he understands the optics of having a career loser like Brandon who has proven to be inept at football decisions advising him, so Terry makes an effort to distance himself from answering those questions directly.
-
Exactly....god bless the Pegulas for keeping the Bills in Buffalo but they are simply bad owners. We can hope they learn quickly but the evidence points out that they do not. Today Terry was asked if Russ will have input into the GM hire and Terry said that Brandon would...Why in the absolute !@#$ would you ask Brandon anything related to football?
I love the Bills but I have no hope that this dysfunctional team gets turned around until the one constant of the drought is no longer asked a god damn question...fire Russ Brandon or put a muzzle on him.
-
Wake me up when Russ is canned, as long as he is president as has influence the failures will continue.
-
The 5th year option includes an injury guarantee, with Sammy's history the Bills really have no choice but to pass on the option. Not that the Jones trade was bad but it's hard to ignore that the Watkins trade forced the Bills into it.
-
White's size and lack of physical play as per the scouting reports are my biggest issue with this pick, my second issue is just the feeling that the Bills are continuing to spin their wheels by doing what they always do. I do congratulate White and wish him the best, seems like a stand up guy and I always root for those types.
-
I would not want that uncontrolled emotion getting flags every play, we already have Jerry Hughes to fill that role.
-
Same old Bills....draft DB's in the 1st and let them walk. Why not take a shot at a QB like Watson instead of doing the exact same thing that hasn't worked?
-
Hey Bill,
We have very similar outlooks.
I want a QB, prefer Mitch T. (know he won't be there) would be happy with Watson. If/when that doesn't happen I would hope for a trade down or Corey Davis. I fully expect another first round DB.
-
"We hope you like CB's in the 1st round....again!"
-
I have always thought Whaley was an imbecile due to his inability to articulate or even form a coherent thought. I hoped, as others preached, that being somewhat intelligent wasn't a prerequisite to being able to evaluate talent on the field but it hasn't worked out that way. I hope Whaley has a 'win now' mandate, either way I would be happy at season's end...Whaley is gone or the drought is over.
-
I feel for the victims, their families and AH's little daughter. So much heart ache over such petty stuff, crazy world.
-
I think Jordy's drop killed them. He probably would have outrun Aaron Williams and gone to the house, and that would have changed the game.
That's how I feel as well, the drop was the game changer.
That being said it is easily the best game I have been too.
-
From the partial details available I think Whaley did a good job on this restructure, and this is coming from a fan that really doesn't care for Doug's body of work thus far in his 7 years at OBD.

Russ Brandon - keep him or fire him?

Yes, I have no problem admitting that fans draw their own conclusions as to the level of influence Russ has on football decisions based on their bias for or against the man. I think this issue could have been put to bed by Terry Pegula earlier this year when he was questioned about the role Brandon has on the team. Instead of easing the minds of questioning fans (myself included) who feel Russ has shown an ineptness to make sound football decisions and stating that Russ has no influence, Pegula decided to be ambiguous with his statements and let it be known that Russ is still a sounding board.
I think the only hope for both camps (pro & anti Brandon) is that McD and Beane are now in control and free to do as they see fit.
