Chandemonium Posted October 21, 2010 Author Share Posted October 21, 2010 Can't wait to start up this discussion again. I know its been beaten to death, but this is the first time I've seen Ngata himself say this, which is why I posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChasBB Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 (edited) I know its been beaten to death, but this is the first time I've seen Ngata himself say this, which is why I posted. I want the Buffalo Bills to come clean and say WHO pushed the Whitner pick through? Was it Marv? Was it Modrak? WHO was the genius that decided Ngata was not who we needed? I want a real answer, dammit. No offense intended to Whitner -- you probably couldn't see it coming that you'd be taken at the 8th pick. But I want a NAME -- none of this -- "it was the scouting department" or "Ralph always gets the final say-so" or that BS. I want to know WHO said "No, fellas, we're going to take Whitner". If that individual is not already gone, it's time to make that happen. Edited October 21, 2010 by ChasBB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when whitner was picked everyone in the room going whattttttttttttttt Why take him when they NEEDED a safety, even though he was the 56th rated player on the board I don't dislike Whitner, but I just don't get how you pass on the best player in that draft, oh well typical Bills at work on how to screw themselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills organization is deeply dysfunctional from top to bottom. If the owner doesn't do anything about it, then what's the point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 This is great news. Not only did it sound like this stud DT was actually interested in playing for the Bills during the draft, he has a reason to play with a chip on his shoulder Sunday. Positively outstanding. Might see some Bills o-linemen slapping Whitner on the back of the head sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
....lybob Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 The Bills have been going against conventional wisdom in the draft for a long time and so far conventional wisdom is kicking their butts- sad to say but a guy with three draft magazines would have done much better.

billsfreak Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Sounds like he was giving the Bills too much credit in getting a draft right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaGimp Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Hey, maybe the Bills should make him GM! He's already proved by this statement that he would be the best since Polian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBaumer Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 The people that run this organization are just so stupid it makes me sick. They truly deserve everything coming to them right now (not the fans) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Fong Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Why take him when they NEEDED a safety, even though he was the 56th rated player on the board I don't dislike Whitner, but I just don't get how you pass on the best player in that draft, oh well typical Bills at work on how to screw themselves That's why you don't draft for need. Textbook example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChasBB Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 (edited) Let it all go. It's in the past. Nothing we can do about it now. If the guy who didn't take Ngata is STILL with the organization, then is this REALLY in the past? That's why I want to know Modrak's role here. *IF* Modrak was instrumental in bypassing Ngata, then I want Modrak out of here. If Modrak wanted Ngata, but was overruled by Levy or by committee, or whatever, then Modrak gets a pass. That's why I want NAMES. It is time for the people responsible for past draft debacles to be held accountable (yes, fired, if need be).

Gabe Northern Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Can't wait to start up this discussion again. Until Tom Modrak is gone this is a reasonable topic of discussion. Modrak didn't think Ngata could fit into Jauron's scheme because he was a space-eater not a penetrator. Um, NO. Ngata leads the league in tackles from NT position.

If that individual is not already gone, it's time to make that happen. From what I understand, Jauron needed a safety to run his vaunted Tampa 2, and felt that Whitner was the best fit. Ironic that Whitner's struggles in his first few years have been blamed on his inability to properly operate in a 2 Deep zone---- although he's struggling in coverage this year, as well.

Mr. WEO Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Ngata must feel like the guy in whom "the bullet missed a major artery by less than an inch". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San-O Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Probably the same person that thought McCargo and Maybin were good 1st round picks. Is there a team in the NFL that is WORSE at evaluating talent then Buffalo, consistently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
