I like him too, but he’s been there a long time. Recent bottom-line results do matter (unless you’re the Bengals).

If he wants zero turnovers, he should’ve traded for Tyrod.

I live in North Baltimore County, and the vibe was 50/50 around here (media and fanbase) that he would be brought back this year.

Ravens miss the playoffs again & it could be John Harbaugh going to the Browns, not Jim.

I have no idea what’s going to happen on Sunday, but there’s no one on this Ravens team that scares me. Suggs is the closest thing to an impact player, but he’s older than dirt. Everyone else is long gone.

Just me, but I always appreciate reading bad news when it comes to the Steelers.

Time for Reilly’s agent to call the Titans.

Bills 16 Ravens 15 in a FG Fest.

If they get the #1 draft pick, there’s a good chance they might burn it on a high-motor, lunch-pail roidhead DE. I’ll take the playoffs!

This is an A+ post!

Lunch Pail League TV ratings just might beat college football TV ratings in Buffalo. Cha-Ching!

Can’t say about the mental, but 6’7” is too tall to play QB in the NFL.

That really says it all.

The Don Shula hate threads would be epic.

When it comes to ex-Ravens scrubs, he's quite similar in quality to Shareece Wright. Just say NO.

I don't think it's brilliance at all, both moves don't look very good right now. I have always said though that the best GM's are able to acknowledge their mistakes, cut their losses, and move on quickly. I find that to be very refreshing, especially when compared to the chump before him who kept EJ around for 4 years. If he has too many mistakes, then yeah, he could be in trouble. At this point though, before the season starts? He's still golden.

By all accounts, Whaley and his staff were fired immediately after the draft. Highly unlikely that he would’ve been trusted to make any decisions regarding the future of the team. He may have executed marching orders from McD, but nothing more than that.

Well, whatever one thinks of McD, I do think it's crystal clear that Whaley made no football decisions at all after he arrived, that's mostly what I'm saying.

OK, I stand corrected, it was the initial meeting. I still highly doubt that DW had anything to say about the hiring.

Yep. Fait accompli after that press conference. Vic Carucci. Let me look for the thread, I started it, the link is there.

Once again, Whaley was not even part of the interview process to hire McD. McD specifically asked Pegs to exclude him and Pegs agreed. Whaley and the rest of his eventually fired staff made zero decisions regarding anything football once McD was hired. That’s ZERO.

Not Bob the LBs coach... his son Bobby, the safeties coach. https://www.buffalobills.com/team/coaches-roster/bobby-babich https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.democratandchronicle.com/amp/694070001 “McDermott gives full credit to Babich for getting Poyer on his radar...”

I disagree on 2017 FA’s, still need to see how 2018 shakes out. Take Poyer for example. He was highly recommended by Bobby Babich who knew him in Cleveland. Babich told McD to bring him in and the rest is history. Now, Whaley may have made a couple phone calls for McD since he wasn’t doing anything else until he got canned, but that’s about it.

McD. Whaley was a dead man walking after his debacle of a press conference and did not call any of the shots.

9-7, don’t know if it’s good enough for the playoffs again but I sure hope so.
