oldmanfan Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 He brought in Alexander, Richie as FAs. Drafted guys like Miller, Darby, etc. Those weren't wastes of time. He didn't find a QB and the team was not solid enough to win with average QB play. And lost his job as a result. I think jumping on people when they're down is pointless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimKellyTryouts Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Funny that I was a piraiah on the BBMB for saying that before it was cool. I fought tooth and nail with people about EJ. He was literally the worst QB in the league, but you couldn't tell that to half of that board. He was the most over protected player I can ever remember in a bills uniform. It was sad. The guy was out played by every QB on the roster, each and every year he was in buffalo. Thank god he is gone. To call yourself an outcast by saying that EJ sucked is total hyperbole. I've recalled reading many of your posts here and there and can't recall specifics, but you're definitely on the Debbie downer side of things to say the least. EJ's rookie year was his best year in retrospect, since the others were just simply so horrible. We and Marrone had a de facto starter with a premium WR (on a side note, said "I could be wide open but if he's not feeling it, I won't get the ball") and Orton as insurance. Come next season immediately after Houston, essentially everyone wanted him out, and so it happened. I'm not really fond of people raising themselves on a pedestal in retrospect, especially for a general obvious statement that EJ sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondo in seattle Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Whaley just gave his first public interview since being canned...so there are many fresh takes and insights from what he had to say.. Good to see Whaley remained classy. I'm glad he's gone but I wish him well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Yet, he getting paid by a SB contender. But you obviously know more about football than them. let's see how long that lasts. As long as it's not us, I could care less. I hope when we play them, somehow he has to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffismagic Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 (edited) Buffalo has always been obsessed with the, "Where are they today." When JP Losman, Trent Edwards, EJ left there was a lot of that. Soon Tyrod will be next and I could care less about any of them. Edited May 23, 2017 by jeffismagic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I came here after the BBMB shut down and have been nothing close to a Debbie downer. Must have me confused with someone else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaCrispy Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Good to see Whaley remained classy. I'm glad he's gone but I wish him well. yeah it was nice to hear...i think he will still be rooting for buffalo...he was a pegula family friend, and even terry said there were tears at the firing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can certainly say the results weren't good but working for the Pegulas isn't easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soon Tyrod will be next and I could care less about any of them. just for fun, i went back and watched some old Trent Edwards highlights....all i can say is, just like the 1970s native american, i too, had the single tear drop run down my face...so much potential, and it all just went south so fast.

BillsFan4 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 What a useless article that was. They picked out 2 sentences of a 17 minute interview. Not even a link to that SiriusXM show or anything... All that article did was leave me hunting for the whole interview, or at least an article with more of it. Here's one that had a lot more substance. Still looking for a link to the entire interview on SiriusXM if anyone has one. I'm going to keep looking too. http://www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bills/index.ssf/2017/05/everything_doug_whaley_said_in_first_interview_since_buffalo_bills_fired_him.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JM2009 Posted May 23, 2017 Author Share Posted May 23, 2017 Cool thread. Whaley was fired weeks ago. Isn't it time to move on? Then why are you posting in both Whaley threads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baskingridgebillsfan Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 timmy timmy timmy. you are obseesed with Doug. Next time Doug will go to the qb tree and hope ones fall. If it was easier every team would have one. Whaley didn't find one, we get it, he is also in the majority of General Managers that don't find one.

NewEra Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Then why are you posting in both Whaley threads? My only post in this thread (prior to this post) was in response to you making a thread 4 hours after another Whaley thread was already started. You colder have just posted the Graham article in that thread? You needed your own Whaley hate thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM2009 Posted May 23, 2017 Author Share Posted May 23, 2017 Yet, he getting paid by a SB contender. But you obviously know more about football than them. If he makes the team, will it be as starter? No. He's a first round bust. He's a first round pick that should never have been picked in the first round. He was a project pick that failed.
