PlayoffsPlease Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 The well known benefits of continuity require that Russ Brandon be brought back in as interim GM for a year, while he turns over every rock looking for the next GM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 I made a bid, but they wouldn't accept my credit card. Probably because they've seen your fantasy football "skills." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Voice of Truth Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Look, when a team has an elite QB on their team, the coach and GM always look good. An elite QB covers up poor defensive play and a lot of sub-par skill players as the QB can overcome this. Then the team wins and everybody thinks the GM is a genius. If Aaron Rodgers weren't the QB and you were judging this man solely on the other areas of the Packers, you likely wouldn't be impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when you are using 18% of the salary cap on the QB, its a bigger challenge to fill out the rest of the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fadingpain Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 I am going on record saying he is my guy for next GM of the Bills. For anyone that doesn't know who he is, here is his bio/resume. http://www.packers.com/team/staff/eliot-wolf/554e5cf2-a949-4cb5-8d85-11e979ac48b3 Make it happen Terry and Kim!!! Wrong Wolf. It's going to take Winston Wolfe to clean up this mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihilarian Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 He scouted/evaluated every player for the packers for the last 12 years. Eliot Wolfs scouting has comprised over 80% of the Packers current roster in 2015. That is simply amazing!!! The guy may have had a major impact on all those drafts in presenting all the right players. However it was still GM Ted Thompson made those choices, and not the director of player personnel. This team is lacking that knowledgeable football person at the top of the flow chart before another new GM. JMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes two to tango like Doug Whaley putting a 1st round grade on EJ Manuel then Buddy Nix selecting him.

Chilly Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 I hope they re-sign Doug Whaley for 40 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihilarian Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 I hope they re-sign Doug Whaley for 40 years. Yea, the team needs to keep drafting fragile WR's with two first rounders while they keep hoping a 6th rounder will be the franchise QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillsForever Posted October 25, 2015 Author Share Posted October 25, 2015 (edited) There is zero chance of a new GM and rightfully so You couldn't me more wrong. Pegula was looking to hire a football "czar" while Whaley was under contract last offseason. Rex was Pegulas pet hiring. Whaley is done.

34-78-83 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 He's done too well with personnel overall. Not just the draft but who to let go, who to keep. He's quite a good young GM. Injuries and drafts with no quality qb's are not the fault of any GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's quite a good young GM. Injuries and drafts with no quality qb's are not the fault of any GM. I would strongly disagree. Can you name a single player that Doug Whaley drafted that is a pro bowler? Also overpaying for FA talent is horrible GM'ing IMO. Clay, McCoy, Felton just to name a few. Well technically McCoy wasn't a FA but giving up assets too makes it even worse. Edited October 25, 2015 by BuffaloBillsForever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
