CommonCents Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I wonder if Carolina goes to the NFL about tampering or something. Bills kept jumping them in the draft. I think the Bills are A OK in that regard. They have years of convincing evidence that they have no idea what they are doing or not doing during drafts.

Straight Hucklebuck Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Good. This team has been rudderless going back to Modrak and Russ Brandon. Nix was picked after Ralph and Russ "scanned a list of names" and then Nix brought Whaley to town. The team stinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffismagic Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I think Sean McDermott has many qualities that can work as the coach of the Bills. I just believe if he is to succeed a real GM needs to be hired that in not just a scout and errand boy. Do a real search. Find the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Murica Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 This would be a very strange move. I think Whaley is good with evaluating pro talent and finding people off the street or trash heap to fill the needs of the team. Guess his biggest mistake was hitching his wagon to EJ.

Madd Charlie Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 In the press conference I saw, McDermott said Whaley and his staff did a great job. The possibility that maybe is not being talked about enough is maybe Whaley requested to be released from his contract. There are a few jobs including the Redskins job that he could/should be a candidate for. He accomplished a lot here like bringing players to the Bills who would have never even considered coming here in the past. He immediately becomes the best young GM on the market and his stock may never be higher. This is not an ideal job not sure why any top GM candidate would be super excited to walk into this mess. Local media is pretty much the worst the Pegulas are starting to look clueless and to be honest Doug has set the bar pretty high with personnel. Just imagine if Ragland starts next year and Lawson becomes a 7-10 sack guy? Not to mention Sammy is in a contract year and most likely will have his best year as a Bill if he plays a full season. How many GMs can say that they found two bargain bin free agents that became pro bowlers the same season? I hope he sticks around but if I was him I'm pretty sure I'm ready to get out at the top of my game and get a fresh start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ittakestime Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I really hate how much power McD is getting. Why we are treating this guy like Belichick is beyond me. This was hands down the least impressed I have been with a draft and UDFA in a very long time. I think McD is going way too far with valuing players with "high character" and multiple years of production. You need to take chances in this league.

Madd Charlie Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 (edited) All these people are so impressed with McDermott must believe he was hired to be GM or director of personnel or something. BTW he couldn't possibly have had anything to do with this draft other than giving his opinion on who he thinks is a good fit for his system. I'm not impressed even a little until the guy who was hired to be the head coach wins some games, at least give me a preseason game or something. I've been down this road too many times with this team to get all pumped that the coach says all the right things. I'll admit I like the guy I think he has the chance to be great but just like he said in his own press briefing everyone has to earn it including him. Why this guy is being treated like Bill Parcells before his first mini-camp I can't understand. Edited April 30, 2017 by Madd Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
