    You shroud your childish approach in a vale of pompous, intellectual garbage in an attempt to look smart and "real". You over-analyze even minute points and manipulate statistics to fit your negative view of the team. Again, to feel good about yourself and to protect from getting hurt.

    Of course, the criticisms are obviously from someone who has no understanding of the team concept or what it takes to excel at athletics.

    The true "realist" understands that they have no control of what happens on the field or behind the closed doors at One Bills' Drive, so they do the prudent thing for a spectator. They enjoy the games on Sunday with family and friends, cheer for their team and realize that it's just entertainment.

    "I was an integral part in the drafting process of EJ Manuel," Whaley said Thursday on NFL Network's Total Access. "I was the person that handled the draft process and setting up the board."

    "We are committed. I want you to believe me when I say that," Whaley said of building around the second-year quarterback, per The Buffalo News. "I always tell you guys that I'll never say never because I don't want to paint myself in a corner, but when I do say something, I do it and I mean it and I try to fulfill it."

    "We believe the addition of Sammy is going to be instant impact, not only to our quarterback, but to what our offensive coordinator can come up with game-plan wise and how defenses attack us," Whaley said.

    Whaley on EJ Manuel: "We think we got a gem in this guy." (2:30)

    "And as Mark says, if in three years maybe he's not [our quarterback of the future], then I'll be sitting there saying 'hey guys', .... anybody got a job for me?" - Doug Whaley

    I pretty much agree, A QB gets too much credit or blame for a win or loss.

    But we all know a QB can lose the game for you as EJ did against the Texans or win a game for you as Orton did against the Lions & Vikings.

    On the other hand, if Orton had played better in both those games, the Bills would have won by a large margin, not a last minute squeaker.

      Or as Cutler did for the Bears against us.

        Well Cutler looked Terrible yesterday against the Fins & the Bears lost that game as well.

        But the Bears Defense had a huge hand in that loss as well.

            Agree, yet so many right here in this forum post things to the contrary on a regular basis. You included. Why do you think that is?

              Yeah, I'm probably the last one on the qb-nut-hugging train...you obviously haven't been paying attention.
