Yes because according to the some people on the board Whaley was great. Also according to the same people, they don't understand why Whaley got fired because the Pegulas picked the head coaches, Nix or Rex picked all the players in the draft that didn't work out, and Overdorf managed all the cap and contracts. So what was it that Whaley DID do here that made him so great if everyone else had the GM responsibilities? 3 minutes ago, 26CornerBlitz said: They can have our #2. Or is it #3? Tough to remember.

Fadingpain Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 When I was saying Whaley was a horrible GM, needs to be fired and that he will never work as a GM in the NFL again, lots of folks here called me a troll and all the usual BS. Those are the same people attacking me now b/c I point out Allen will be a bust and McDummy is an idiot. Funny how the passage of time ALWAYS changes the herd's opinions on all things Bills-related around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of how you think the XFL will do. Whaley wasn’t nearly as bad as people labeled him. He got stuck with a bad coaching staff and saddled with a poor QB situation that never really broke his way. Had to draft a QB in first if a terrible draft for QBs, then Rex was all in on Tyrod. But during that period he did some good things outside that too. He gets hell for the Sammy Trade, however he had some bad luck with his injuries and the QB situation that made that look worse than it was. Had Sammy not have the 2 year long foot injury, things might have looked better and been a little different. Change was needed when we moved on, but I think he gets more negativity than he deserved. He was saddled with bad timing on when to find a new QB, bad luck on a couple key injuries, and forced to hire a bad coach. I think he’s a smart guy, and while I still don’t believe the XFL will do much better the second time around, I think it’s a good hire for them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McMahon sounds like he immediately wants to go major league and there is just no way to compete with the MANY billions of dollars of backing the NFL has, as well as 32 historic brands almost every sports are emotionally vested in. This is a much different landscape as the fools club or even the USFL. The layout, orientation, and management of the AAF gives me like 1000% more confidence that league lasts more than 3 years. To be honest, and not trying to make this political, but he is banking on this being a success by cashing in on the trump supporters who are so offended by the NFL and the kneeling 'anti military/flag/'merica!' Players who have chased away the bleedin red white and blue good ole boys who cant watch it any more. They want the people offended by the league 'wussifying' the game to come watch their product that they will try to be more 'hard hitting' and exciting.

The fans that blame his firing on Rex and claim he fielded a great roster don't understand how to build a team past what's required for their fantasy leagues. He wasn't "saddled" with a poor QB situation, he was a part of it and didn't know how to remedy it. Doug Whaley was a king in the eyes of the myopic fan that craves instant gratification -- those who can only see as far as next month. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a .500 GM. That isn't great. It is a darn lot better than any other GM of my 16 year Bills fandom. I had no problem with him being fired I don't pine to have him back... but I still think he was the best guy we have had in the GM office in a good while. I hope Brandon Beane proves to be better. So far he has proven nothing. I liked Doug Marrone as our Head Coach too by the way. Arse of a man but a solid coach.

GunnerBill Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Whaley's 2015 roster was a top 5 in the NFL roster if you excluded QB. Then they found a serviceable QB in Tyrod they should have beem shoe ins for the post season. A good coach that roster would have won at least 11 games. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boater Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 This caused me to do some Googling on XFL. Quote Replacing the coin toss at the beginning of each game was an event in which one player from each team fought to recover a football 20 yards away in order to determine possession. Both players lined up side-by-side on one of the 30-yard lines, with the ball being placed at the 50-yard line. At the whistle, the two players would run toward the ball and attempt to gain possession; whichever player gained possession first was allowed to choose possession (as if he had won a coin toss in other leagues). If people want WWE, they'll WWE. They aren't going for hybrid football and wrestling. I give the league one year.. which is how long they lasted last time.

Freddie's Dead Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Whaley is ultimately miscast in any role but pro personnel. He's definitely reached his level of incompetence, and proven the Peter Principle once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your wrong, Whaley was the Personnel Director under Buddy Nix and he did draft Maybin and Dareus, EJ was more than likely Buddy Nix although not sure what role Whaley played. Bottom line is Bill Cowther and Whaley engaged in a power struggle over drafting and Whaley lost, he has a lousy draft record and inability to work with his coaches!
