Jerry Jabber Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Mike Rodak @mikerodak 1h Marrone was clearly upset about something. Had some choice language reporters could hear from sideline. Whaley threw up arms in response. Mike Rodak @mikerodak 1h Marrone, Whaley, and Brandon having an animated conversation as Palmer, Manuel, Tuel warm up. I'm wondering why these two are very upset at each other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Biscuit97 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Oh boy! Let's make up stories about a conversation. They are discussing Bachelor in Paradise and they totally disagree on the ashley situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrod's Tailor Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 it takes a lot of mental gymnastics to assume that everything is fine with this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry Jabber Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 Considering how bad the Bills stunk up the place on Saturday, I'm sure Whaley is fuming at how bad they were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBuff423 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 It's been reported EJ was Buddy's pick, his sort of swan song in that he wanted to get the BILLS a QB before he stepped down...I'm wondering now if Whaley truly feels saddled with this guy and essentially went all in on EJ hoping to manufacture confidence in the kid so he would perform better and now, feeling like the house of cards is falling down, he's panicking a bit and knows that EJ will make or break this season for the entire team...just a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At all. It was pretty clear during HC interviews in late 2012/early 2013 that Nix was being pushed aside and the transition had began given Nix's comments about Marrone. No way would any pro organization allow the outgoing GM to pick the player who would most affect the future GM's performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddy picking EJ would be nonsense. Whaley was the passenger in Alan Branch's car that fateful evening. True story?

mountainwampus Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Perhaps Doug is less than thrilled about the QB situation. Swapping Thad for Palmer doesn't help in the short term whatsoever. All these guys have is short term. They are all going to be unemployed in 3 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Blitz Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 If Whaley didn't agree with the pick or at least have confidence EJ was the guy he would have done something about it this off season. Like draft one, sign one. Not buying it was Nix's pick alone. No way. Whaley had to agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
