mrags Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 I am sorry Bro. I thought you were kidding. Imo, Marv is WAY too old, and he failed miserably at GM. Nice man, but we need something more. If we want to go back in time, we should hand the keys to Polian imo. Have a great New Year. yeah of course I was kidding. If hate him at GM. Maybe as our HC though. That would be something ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justice Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 (edited) Nix won't be back, IMO. He allowed a parade of good QB's to pass us by and that will be his undoing. What exactly is he looking for? You had Dalton, a four year starter that turned TCU around. Kaepernick, who is the total package. Russell Wilson, a strong armed, accurate, and mobile QB. You don't want any of these guys in the second round or later? Are you serious? He's done. Lets not forget about him surpassing Buffalo's own Rob Gronkowski in favor of Troup. He's clueless.

NoSaint Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Tim Graham @ByTimGraham A lot of static about the status of Bills GM Buddy Nix at the moment. A lot of uncertainty from my sources. Many clues, little hard info. that would be a much better first tweet, than third. not a good showing at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mannc Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 If you defend a GM who hasnt improved a team 1 game in 3 years, you might be a Buffalo Bills Kool-aid drinker. There is no end to the excuses some board members are willing to make for Nix. There can be no legitimate criticism of his drafting because all such criticism is "hindsight". Oh, and the roster is stronger now than it was three years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Whaley IS lined up. Again, my point was not about Nix specifically. It was, how can you line up HC interviews if you're not sure who your GM (the guy picking the HC) is? you can start contacting people in loose terms today to see what their schedules will be etc... and by the end of the night have stuff set up, one way or the other. its not unheard of to hire a coach before a GM even (not a great practice but ive even heard it batted around by a few of the teams with openings today.

Dawgg Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 (edited) While some of what you say is true, Graham is a good WR who needs to learn to run routes and catch a little better. But he put up much better numbers than Moulds did his rookie year. Williams too was a 2nd rounder which isn't an assurred winner at CB. That said, you have to go back to that draft and realize DB's were flying off the shelf and we needed one bad. His hands were tied and got the best one available at the time. In addition we had plenty of injuries at DB this season whcih also hurt. A pick at the top of the second round is close enough to the first round that it had better be a hit. Period. And Nix whiffed bigtime on that pick. Try defending the following dubious personnel decisions: - Selecting Torrell Troup when Buffalo native Rob Gronkowski was on the board (went to the Pats with the very next pick) - Selecting Maruc Easley when Aaron Hernandez was on the board (went to the Pats 6 picks later) - Selecting a "kickoff specialist" John Potter in the 7th around rather than take a flyer on a high quality free agent like Vontaze Burfict, when LB was the weakest position on the team. Burfict is playing very well for the playoff-bound Bengals. - Failing to take a developmental QB, passing on Andy Dalton, Russell Wilson, Kirk Cousins, Brock Osweiler to name a few. - Trading for Travaris Jackson and not activating him for a single game, all the while paying him $3M+ to sit. - Making a waiver claim on Shawne Merriman, whom the Chargers deemed expendable, signing him to an extension, and ignoring the LB position in subsequent drafts. - Having a big, physical 6-5 220 point receiver Danario Alexander in for a tryout after the David Nelson injury only to determine that the team was better off with a scrub like Ruvell Martin. Alexander went onto catch 7TDs in 10 games for the Chargers. Talent evaluation is a major weakness and has been for quite some time. Nix should be retained as a scout, but he should definitely not be retained as a general manager. Edited December 31, 2012 by Dawgg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meathead Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 the totality of buddys work is pretty good but he does get the big ding on fitz not playing up to his contract and then not getting the development guy in process. i can see why they gave it to fitz at the time but hes pulled a jauron since then and left buddy in an awkward position so its a demerit or twenty for the hick with no beard ralph is telling buddy right now that if he can find a quote unquote legendary name to take over and take gm/pres/whatever duties he will do that. does buddy want to stay on in some other capacity or is he ready to retire. buddy will say if its a real role then yeah ill stay but if its a face saving bump up then you can stow it. you and i have been through a lot ralph and i only want to stay if you think i can contribute in a real way. if you can define that then im in, otherwise you can kiss my ass ralph says ill let you know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 I think it will be announced that Buddy is going into semi retirement to be a part time scout. I wonder if Buddy is reading this thread right now himself, so he can find out what's going on?? Happy New Year Buddy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
