Over 29 years of fanhood Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I never got how EJ ruined him. He didn't want to cut a 1st rounder right away. He brought in other qbs to challenge him. He brought in Tyrod who helped lead a top 10 offense. I'd say Rex was most detrimental to his career in buffalo and then McDermott walked in and drove the nail in the coffin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buftex Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 There is a place for Whaley in the NFL. Under solid management and a different atmosphere I can see him having success. He brought in an influx of talent. EJ ruined him... I think if he was allowed to function as a real NFL GM (ie: not Rex Ryan's servant) he would have been fine. I believe he is responsible for bringing us Jordan Poyer, btw... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignoring the fact that striking on a QB in the draft is like winning millions on a lottery, it is much easier to say the GM sucked if a 1st rounder doesn't pan out. To me, Whaley was never the problem with this team... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trading up for a wr isn't the best move ever. However, when healthy, he is a very good player who can be a difference maker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real Buffalo Joe Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 (edited) Dude donated $50,000 to hurricane relief, and is donating an additional $5,000 for every sack he makes. I also know his mother in law, and he gives her $500 for every flag thrown on him. Edited September 20, 2017 by The Real Buffalo Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, when healthy, he is a very good player who can be a difference maker. He absolutely could have. It's just that trading away next year's one is a vote of confidence for the QB you took the year before. When Atlanta traded up for Julio, they had Matt Ryan who already looked like the real deal.

KHAN Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Jerry played his ass off last year in Rex's ****ty defense. But it is in a way a comeback year as far as effectiveness. Just not his fault IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted October 6, 2017 Author Share Posted October 6, 2017 @salmaiorana Jerry Hughes is playing like a man possessed, and the #Bills defense is soaring. Here’s my SalSpeak column. https://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/sports/2017/10/06/jerry-hughes-buffalo-bills-defense-leads-nfl-sean-mcdermott/737630001/ ORCHARD PARK – If Jerry Hughes has a dart board at his suburban Buffalo home, it would not surprise me if there’s a picture of Rex Ryan covering the bullseye. Don’t get me wrong; Hughes doesn’t dislike Ryan, but there’s no question that Hughes’ career was set back a little by his misuse in Ryan’s ill-suited (at least for the Bills) 3-4 defense. Everyone but Ryan seemed to understand that Hughes is a 4-3 pass-rushing defensive end, and his primary responsibility each week should have been to play stout against the run, and then get after the quarterback, and maybe not necessarily in that order.

Call_Of_Ktulu Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 He might be playing at a higher level than Mack or Miller through 4 games. Unblockable, Pressure, Gap controll, great coverage and awareness. When the Bills traded up for Sammy I though for sure they did it for Mack. I was just sitting there saying to myself holy $&!? we got Mack and Hughes and Brady will only play one more season because he would get broken playing the Bills.

Pine Barrens Mafia Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Yep... Ignoring the fact that striking on a QB in the draft is like winning millions on a lottery, it is much easier to say the GM sucked if a 1st rounder doesn't pan out. To me, Whaley was never the problem with this team... Whaley caved to Marcel Dareus. Gave him EASILY the worst contract. Also spent two ones on a WR for a QB who clearly wasn't the answer. Bad GM was bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Byrd Man Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Suh set the bar and while he is a better player than Dareus not by much. Dareus' contract is less than Suh's and if he returns to the level he was at before the new deal all will be forgotten. Also heard Hughes hasn't been 100% as he has been nursing a groin injury.
