Dorkington Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 (edited) GM, for better or worse, will get credit/blame for personnel. But lets not act like the Assistant GM/Director of Pro Personnel has absolutely no say in the process. Nix did a lot of good things while here, but Whaley was right there with him, and has continued the trend since Nix left. If anything, Whaley should at least get credit for: - EJ (some say blame) - Woods - Kiko* - Hughes - P. Brown - Robey - Graham - Watkins - McCoy* - Harvin - Clay To me that furthers the trend of finding and improving the talent on this team.

That's absolutely ridiculous. The guy had over 900 yards as a rookie with lousy QB play and inept offensive coaching. I was 99% certain that you were just trolling about Sammy before--now I'm 100% that you don't mean a word that you say. No rational person could believe what you just typed.

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 "Common limitation I see in people" I see you don't understand most of those players are Nix guys. "if at first you don't succeed, maybe failure is your style" As I'd expect from "nothing is wrong with a c" guy. But The fact is Nix never put together a roster with a winning season as bills GM. Whaley did in his second year. So you can choose not to give him any credit but he's the one the finished the job and assembled a winner. Not buddy. So while I have no problem saying nix may have helped with the foundation, whaley has been excellent, and the results support this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deranged Rhino Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 That opinion had absolutely zero to do with whether or not Watkins works out as an NFL player. This is the same guy who said Woods isn't a physical enough receiver to shine in the NFL and claimed Watkins was best compared to Ty Law in terms of talent.

UticaBill Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I voted a C mainly because we have yet to reach the playoffs under Whaley and while these moves look great on paper... not a single down has been played yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the very least we've gone from 7-9/6-10 to 9-7 last year, being 9-7 AND seemingly improving the team on paper gives me hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
