Some people are just BORN shrewd... Destined to make the right calls in whatever they're about.. Ozzie Newsome, AKA "The Great OZ" is one of those people... Some notable mistakes... -MANY celebrated successes.

It sounds weird, but I'm not sure Doug Whaley is the actual GM of this team... He seems to get sent out of the room on an awful lot of critical calls.... Is his job simply to accept the blame for the folks who actually DO make the calls?

 

Whatever the case, Whaley needs to steal a page from Ozzie's book.... Better yet, -STEAL THE BOOK. In my line of work, I've often reached out to competitor's for input... GET ON THE PHONE, DOUG... If Oz chooses to talk to you, LISTEN to the man! If he doesn't, just follow the HUGE breadcrumbs he's dropped throughout his GM career.

Imitation is a sincere form of flattery... It's also a place to start if you're not sure how to go forward. :thumbsup:

dude, he doesn't need to steal ozzie's book. he just needs to be privy to it. just a lil' bit o' privy-ness. once doug gets privy to that damn book, it's gonna be on like a mofo.

Bills fans would never want Ozzie as the GM because he drafted Boller.

And quickly realized that he sucked and didn't try to prop him up for 4 years.

I'm curious how exactly EJ has been propped up in? By being the backup?

Ozzie let Tyrod walk in FA..... How stupid was that? ;)

Tyrod was an Unrestricted Free Agent and wanted to start somewhere. What part of Unrestricted do you not get ?

Boller started in 42 games for Baltimore over 5 seasons. EJ has started 17 games in 4 seasons. Who propped whom up?

Signing Kolb as "competition," bringing in no one until the HC caused a scene in 2014, leaving him as backup to TT instead of keeping a superior QB in Cassel in 2015.

By competing against Kevin Kolb, Jef Tuel, Thad Lewis, Jordan Palmer, Matt Leinart? The only time Whaley tried to bring in legit QB competition was when he was forced to do so.

 

Maybe one of these days you may admit that Bills haven't been a well run franchise for a long long time.

We've had our issues finding a QB but one of them hasn't been hanging with them too long. We move on when it's time.

Boller started 17 games before he lost his starting job to Anthony Wright. The other starts were due to injuries to the starter.
