Santana Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I think Buddy actually has done a pretty decent job thus far, the roster was a complete mess when he took it over. Of course he wasn't perfect but i've seen worse in Buffalo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrags Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 WHAT ARE WE GOING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT NOW???!!!! well, Ralph is still alive and Russ is still cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Thank God and thus ends an era of bills GM incompetence. Lets hope Whaley knows what he is doing Obviously the shame of reaching for EJ Manuel when he could have had Nassib or Barkley was too much to bear.

San-O Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 He delivered the QB for which his legacy will be forever linked and rode off into the sunset. Cheers, Buddy. Hope that baby grows into a corn fed, molly whopping, beast. Only downside: no taped phone calls from a 75 year old GM that doesn't know how to use a phone. I had heard something about that, but didn't get any additional information other than something happened with him and phone call? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Doug Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 There you go for all you naysayers. That was Whaley's draft. It had someone else's fingerprints all over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Jackson Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 (edited) Nix did a pretty good job in his tenure. The level of overall talent on the roster is far superior then when he arrived. He was a good recruiter in free agency and drafted the guy that he believes will be the franchise QB. I wish him well in his new role.

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Oh crap.... Whose AARP discount will they use at Hertz on road trips now that Ralph, Chan and now Buddy are out of the inner circle. Suddenly a very young core at OBD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Big Cat Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 There you go for all you naysayers. That was Whaley's draft. It had someone else's fingerprints all over it. This may be true. It certainly had some very un-Nix qualities about it. But let's not pretend like Nix has had zero influence on Whaley. I think Nix was the right guy to cut the young pup's teeth. Speaking of young pup: Ralph to Russ. Chan to Doug. Buddy to Doug. YOUTH MOVEMENT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 This is what a lot of us saw coming from miles away. Front Office contracts run from May to May. Plenty of folks called this move back when the first change was announced in January and people were crying for Buddy's head. A big THANK YOU to Buddy for working hard at re-building not only a roster, but an entire Franchise, from the Front Office down to the water boys.

stony Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 There you go for all you naysayers. That was Whaley's draft. It had someone else's fingerprints all over it. Makes sense. Seemed a bit "odd" i.e. unBuddy-like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Bills Fan Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 So now this means that Whaley has final say over who makes the 53 man roster right? CBF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I think Buddy actually has done a pretty decent job thus far, the roster was a complete mess when he took it over. Of course he wasn't perfect but i've seen worse in Buffalo Nix has NOT don't a great job. Part of being a GM is hiring good coaches.....of which he has not. The Marrone/Pettine hire feels NOTHING like Buddy Nix hires. I think that was all Whaley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
