Heitz Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Wonder how long we have to wait before a hire? Obviously they were planning this move, if the Carolina Asst. GM is the man, let's get him on board and leggo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iinii Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Wonder how this escapes people? The draft is the end of the front offices year, not the end of the regular season.I told you McD could do Whaley's job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Any chance they can be convinced that their lacrosse team(Buffalo Bandits) is where they need to focus the most, and leave the Bills and the Sabres to someone else? Good idea, move Russ from the Bills to the Bandits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Gun Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 They are giving a rookie head coach with no wins total control. With TPegs track record over the past couple years, this might not be a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris heff Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 The extension was over a year ago in Jan 2016. You are right, my mistake. I do think he was fired at the same time as Ryan, what other explanation is there for the last four months? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 BuffaloBarbarian can't be traded, there's a clause. OK, thanks. I've read GM about 50 times. If he helps us win, I'm all in! He's got an osweiler like contract and we don't have any resources to package with him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 You are right, my mistake. I do think he was fired at the same time as Ryan, what other explanation is there for the last four months?

DrDawkinstein Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 You are right, my mistake. I do think he was fired at the same time as Ryan, what other explanation is there for the last four months? General incompetency from the owners? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Seems like this thread gets the most views Carolina may have a new TE Evan Silva (@evansilva) 4/30/17, 8:21 AM Was apparently a report Benjamin weighed nearly 280 at start of offseason workouts. damn near could play OT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GM is the man, let's get him on board and leggo... I'm honestly surprised they aren't holding steady through another day or two for udfa And if they hire the Carolina guy IMMEDIATELY with the rumors of them being in contact with draft info, that's a bad look. You almost have to do full interviews now, right? (They should anyway but especially now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnC Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Pegula's jackassery over the last few years is precisely why this team has been substandard On this issue I will agree with you. The owner made some stupendous mistakes. The Rex hire set this franchise back by years. But the issues plaguing this organization have been going on for a long time pre-dating the Pegula era. What I can say positively about Pegula is when he makes a mistake he comes back and addresses it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave mcbride Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 (edited) None of that has anything to do with the section of your post I quoted that was complete bunkSimon: I'm speaking for myself here, but Whaley lost me on Tyrod, who I like as both a player and competitor. What do you think of Taylor, and what do you think of Whaley's own views on the qb position? I think it's pretty clear beyond all doubt now that he was the biggest backer of Manuel in the NFL. That last game against the Jets must have horrible for Whaley, and I seriously felt bad for him because Manuel is not unlikable. In any event, I thought his jacking around of Taylor near the end of last season was mystifyingly wrongheaded. Edit: I take your point about the backstabbing/lying.

Rico Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 No man adam schefter is wrong. Because I have been reading on this board "insiders" telling me otherwise. Thats why I dont believe message board insiders. Everyone could have seen this from a mile away. Gms arent relieved of their speaking duties because owners love you. No doubt about it... except maybe Leroi, but he may not be returning now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldTimer1960 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 @OptimumScouting: I've been told Whaley was maybe the ONLY person in #Bills scouting/coaching staff that didn't value Tyrod as QB. Every coach/scout loved him Did Whaley end his Bills career by treating EJ Manuel like a better player than Tyrod Taylor? Sure seems like it. Well, then those scouts that loved TT should watch some NFL games where teams have QBs that throw with timing and anticipation and use the full field. I appreciate Taylor's effort and that he is the best QB that the Bills have had in a long while, but that doesn't mean that he is even in the top 1/2 of the league as a passer. MAYBE he can improve his passing - if so then you have something, but if this report is accurate, Whaley was not wrong in his lack of belief in Taylor.

Rico Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Side note: I was wine tasting in Sonoma yesterday at a place called Imagery. One of the guys behind the counter sees my Bills hat and asks if I know who Doug Whaley is. I say "yes, he's our incompetent general manager". Turns out the guy knows him and is good friends with him. Showed me some texts about the draft with him and that he was feeling good about it. Of course I felt bad at the time that I called him incompetent. Now? Not really sure. It's all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
