He oversaw the 2009 draft, which included Aaron Maybin (Hired as a National Scout for the Buffalo Bills on January 26, 2009).
He did virtually nothing to improve the team after hired as GM on 12/31/09. Unless you are impressed with:
LB Reggie Torbor
DE Dwan Edwards
LB Andra Davis
OT Cornell Green
How are they working out?
Given the needs, he drafted Spiller. Granted the kid looks like he has superstar talent, but to draft BPA is a luxury for good teams.
He mishandled the Lynch trade to some degree. Even though the result is ultimately the same, the handing of it was pretty sloppy as documented by reporters. He's not nicknamed "bumbling Buddy" for nothing.
Both Buddy and Chan needed to “see for themselves” the limitations of Trent Edwards (and the rest of the team for that matter) and completely ignoring what we've known all along. No excuse whatsoever in this area. This is what they’re supposed to be experts at.
He gave a contract extension to Chris Kelsay. One of the most underperfroming players on the defense. The move was to provide a model/leader for other players to follow. There is no wonder the team stinks if Kelsay is the model. On one hand they talk of eliminating the losing culture, on the other they perpetuate losing with this move.
The fact that he waiting until week 3 and 4 of this season to finally “get it” results in both lost time, and what’s obvious is the team got worse. You can't take a year off in the NFL. You'll get stampeded, which is obviously happening.
What has he done to improve the team? Please DO NOT mention “bottoming out” as that’s an excuse for losers. There is no reason Buddy Nix could not have started his “3 year plan” on day 1. By the way, since we’re almost a year in, I guess it was a 4 year plan all along? BS. There is no real plan. It's clear.
The writing is on the wall. We SHOULD NOT WAIT any longer before calling out this failure of a GM. Or else, 3 years from now we’ll be patiently waiting for another 3 year plan from another loser GM.
