I really liked Youboty, what a disappointment he ended up being. James Hardy coming out of IU too.

All smack aside, I can't blame Whaley for drafting Sammy and not considering future injury problems. Signing Charles Clay to all that jack is a much different story though.

Landry - Tannehill

No. Yes. Yes. Feel free to make changes to the medical / training staff if they aren't doing their job, but the buck doesn't stop there.

Yep. I'd trade Sammy and Kujo for Mack and Jarvis Landry right now. Too bad the Bills didn't have a crystal ball.

Best was Sex Pistols at the Trump Borgata, Atlantic City 2003. Every song a classic, all killer no filler. Just on the edge of the mosh about 15-20 feet directly in front of Steve Jones; of course, Johnny was all over the place. 9:30 Club show in DC that year was great too, but I was further away from the stage. Worst was Journey opening for the Stones at Rich in 1981, trapped because it was general admission and you couldn't leave your spot... and soaked from the torrential downpour. They were beyond brutal. Worst headliner was Yes in 1979, Don't Kill The Whale smh...

I'm not a Marrone fan AT ALL, but Whaley was/is more of a problem. If they got a legitimate czar/GM to run things, (theoretically)Pegs wouldn't be hiring coaches and (theoretically) Brandon would truly be out of the picture. Marrone would most likely have been gone after 2015, and the team as a whole would be much further along then they are now.

I think this team would've been better off if Marrone was the one to stay and Whaley was the one to go. Not much better off, but closer to turning things around, depending on the czar.

Look 3 posts up, it was a Disney World pothole.

As always, thanks for the scoop!

Sammy is obviously the better player, but it did take 2 #1's and a #4 to get him, whereas it only took a single #1 to get Maybin.

Good scout, but obviously in way over his head as a GM.

Amen. There's always a silver lining.

Thanks Doug.

Pats 31 Bills 14

The next Lyle Alzado.

The ultimate slap-in-the-face: Drew Bledsoe.

Please. Curse of Ralph, nothing changes until all his trash is gone.

Very nice post. He'll get job offers, but not to be another GM, perhaps a scout. His resume is just too thread-bare for anything else. Too many people who have actually proven something in this league and never got another true chance like TD and Phil Savage to think otherwise.

Say what you want about Rex, but at least he's no Harvey Johnson.

Great idea. With the $ of Pegs and the charm of Russ, how could he refuse?

And Russ with Shemp.

He reminds me of Lyle Alzado.

No, they're still the Pats, playing in Foxboro at that. Get rolled by Blaine Gabbert in Buffalo to go to 0-5? Maybe.

Not a one... well, maybe Fitzy. Way too much mediocrity. IMO Brady & Gronk are the only 2 current players who I'd put with the all-time greats, and I'm way beyond tired of both of them.
