TPS Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 You have to be blind if you can't see how much talent Whaley and company have put together on this team. The Bills are where I expected them to be at this point, 2-2, though I had the wins and losses reversed like many I'm sure. Let's hope they keep it rolling.

pbanach Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 This thread is garbage. Whaley's the best GM since Polian no question. Hughes, McCoy, Graham, Darby, Zach Brown and I could keep going.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 This is what makes me think it was more a Buddy Nix thing as back then, believe it was after the prior season ended or so when Nix stated that the Bills were going to draft a QB. My take is he pushed hard that the Bills needed to draft a QB in the first round and likely felt the best guy available was EJ. I think it's very possible that Whaley was even the one who scouted EJ and proclaimed him to be the best prospect. While Whaley may have thought he was the best out there, did he really want him drafted in the 1st round, I think that was more a push by Nix to make it happen. Don't think DW was completely against it, but don't think it was completely his move either. The problem with feeling compelled to draft a player to fill a desperate need when that player doesn't fill the talent requirement is an act of futility.

Enemarty Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 As I was watching today's game, noting that none of Whaley's top picks were playing, Sammy, Sammy and Shaq (I've always felt that although Doug probably picked which QB we took in 2013, Buddy dictated that it would be a QB - well, I just read Ed's post above before I hit post and I see he feels the same), and I couldn't help but marvel at the team he has constructed despite not having his own 1st round picks on the field. Then I thought of this thread. C'mon Man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pine Barrens Mafia Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Whaley is MEDIOCRE. you could do better and you could do a lot worse. I think this is a fair assessment. He's found some good players in FA, but I'm never a fan of drafting guys who have a known injury issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8-8 Forever? Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 watch him replace Gilmore with Kevon Seymour or a draft choice next year. Save the franchise 70-80mil and get the same production, which ain't much. you can see Gilmore protecting his body out there already. did you see his "O-Lay!" move on Blount yesterday? Gutless.

Magox Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Whaley seems to have a knack for finding talent in Free Agency and drafting some good players specially the mid to later rounds who end up being ballers. On the other hand, he has made some pretty big high profile gambles that haven't paid off. Clearly EJ was a huge whiff. Watkins, is a great talent but we did give up too much to get him, even if he hadn't have been injured there were some good wide receivers that year that would are nearly as talented and have been more productive than he has where we wouldn't have had to give up the farm to get them. Just imagine, we could have had another WR just as good and have had another first round and fourth round talent to add to the team. I know I know, hindsight is 20/20 but in professional sports that is a way you judge these guys. Blaming Whaley for Ragland is ludicrous but there is some validity to the criticism he's received on Shaq, it was reported he had issues with his shoulder. If Shaq turns out to be a pro bowl or near pro bowl consistent player, then he'll be justified with his selection, but if Shaq turns out to be another run-of-the-mill sort of player, it will be yet another disappointing first round selection. My personal view is that he has done enough to remain in his role but the time is ticking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
