I'm not sure how it's possible to put a positive spin on Buddy's GM stint...Teams don't receive Playoff births based on how much better they look on paper...And any GM deciding early on in their stay that a journeyman QB with a career QB Rating (at the time) under 80 is going take you to the promise land...Well...That GM is going to face some major, and warranted, criticism...
The Bills are no further along overall than they were 3 years ago...They have improved in areas, but some HUGE holes remain...Nix has botched some premium Draft picks...Two high 2nd round Picks (Torell Troup and Aaron Williams) have given the Bills almost nothing...Dareus, while not exactly a bust, was Drafted before 5 of the best young players in the league today (AJ Green, Patrick Peterson, JJ Watt, Julio Jones, and Aldon Smith)...The Bills still do not have a Franchise QB, or even a promising young QB Prospect, despite the fact that they could have stole Andy Dalton with a 2nd Round Pick...I'm not sure how anyone could be happy with Nix job so far...I'm certainly not...Though I do admit the 2012 Draft is looking OK so far...
