#34fan Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 (edited) 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. http://www.espn.com/blog/baltimore-ravens/post/_/id/26469/celebrating-ozzie-newsomes-60th-birthday-along-with-his-best-five-moments-with-ravens 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. http://www.baltimoreravens.com/team/staff/Ozzie-Newsome/d15bf396-96c8-4050-aead-27a541ac2855 Imitation is a sincere form of flattery... It's also a place to start if you're not sure how to go forward. Edited January 7, 2017 by #34fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holmz56 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Excellent ! Ozzie must have someone working with him that we could hire ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffismagic Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Bills fans would never want Ozzie as the GM because he drafted Boller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GG Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moshermw Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 (edited) Ozzie let Tyrod walk in FA..... How stupid was that? Tyrod was an Unrestricted Free Agent and wanted to start somewhere.

FireChan Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I'm curious how exactly EJ has been propped up in? By being the backup? 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.

GG Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I'm curious how exactly EJ has been propped up in? By being the backup? 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Linen Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 And quickly realized that he sucked and didn't try to prop him up for 4 years. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Boller started in 42 games for Baltimore over 5 seasons. EJ has started 17 games in 4 seasons. Who propped whom up? Boller started 17 games before he lost his starting job to Anthony Wright. The other starts were due to injuries to the starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
