26CornerBlitz Posted May 15, 2013 Author Share Posted May 15, 2013 I have my own conjecture about who was making the decisions on the draft, and I don't think anyone knows that wasn't there. What was very interesting to me was listening to JoeB from GR talking about it yesterday. He was as wired in as anyone on the draft with the Bills, and even in his last mock, predicted EJ Manuel as the top pick. If anyone would know a little bit, he would. And he said he had absolutely no idea whether Buddy was making the picks or Whaley or Marrone or any combination of them. He couldn't even guess. So anyone telling anyone that this is the way it went down doesn't know what they are talking about, it's just all conjecture. JoeB changed his mock to Manuel only after Chris Brown did. Brown was the first person I heard to talk about EJ as the kind of QB that Marrone and Hackett would want for the new offense. Everyone else, including Joe B, was on either Nassib or Barkley.

ReturnoftheBuffaloBeast23 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 (edited) Captain Obvious aka @JasonLaCanfora Bills intend to announce Doug Whaley as their new GM Thurs, with the transition from Buddy Nix to Whaley long in the works We're not worthy... SMH... I wonder when he gets announced at the press conference will he come out to Doug's theme song??? That would be cool... So what Im young enough to remember Doug on Nickelodeon... LOL...

nucci Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 What has Doug Whaley accomplished. Does he have any credentials to show us why he is a good fit for GM?!! There's nowhere to go but up in this organization I guess! Like someone else posted, He was among the highly regarded up and coming GMs when Nix was hired and the Bills were criticized for not interviewing any of those guys. Whaley being the top one.

PromoTheRobot Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 (edited) Well I heard a report somewhere that the Bills rushed into naming Whaley GM and didn't do an exhaustive search and that Bill Polian wanted the job but Russ never took his call and that Tom Brady asked to be traded to the Bills but Nix was taking a nap and Ralph had rice pudding for lunch and Brandon lied about it all to sell more season tickets.

eball Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Well, the guy has a lot of experience with the Steelers, and hopefully wasn't corrupted by the incompetence of Gailey and Nix. Let's see what he can do. You just can't help yourself, can you? If Whaley is successful I guarantee you he gives much of the credit to Buddy.

Joe W Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 I guess if being asst GM for an organization that had a 33% winning percent qualifies him as competent he'll be a rousing success Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VABills Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 EJ and Whaley are obligated to be in disguise whenever they're in the presence of Ralph. With a white sheet on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted May 15, 2013 Author Share Posted May 15, 2013 With a white sheet on. Makes perfect sense. At Ralph's age, you wouldn't want to scare the sheet out of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Jose Bills Fan Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Will this board be saying " getter done Doug W, Doug M, or Russ from now on or maybe even Buddy or Ralph still? Can you re-phrase the question? I've heard of him. Get 'r done Buddy! My sources tell me, and they spoke on the condition of anonymity, that Whaley was holding out by demanding that the Bills' official restaurant be switched from Tempo to China Wall Buffet. We'll see if this is confirmed or not with the next free agent signing. "I did not see this coming," said no one ever. Why isn't WGR breaking into regular programming and covering this wall-to-wall. They hate the Bills!!! Damn them! ...oops sorry, wrong thread. Ralph is cheap Would have been nice if they did a complete GM search. Same old Bills!! Well, yeah, but that's because House told us so.. -and he'll pop in here to SAY he told us so too, though he HATES to be 'THAT GUY'.. On the subject, Simon gave us an early confirmation on Whaley. Can't wait for him to hire his own coach and coaching staff. :lol: :lol: Good stuff people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
