BN: Doug Whaley Went Rogue Cutting Fred Jackson

[DraftBoy]

Per Tim Graham on Twitter...

Bills organization will remain unified when speaking publicly, but two sources tell me Doug Whaley went rogue in cutting Fred Jackson.

What...the...****...?

Re: BN: Doug Whaley Went Rogue Cutting Fred Jackson

Tyler Dunne (also of BN) has confirmed (kinda) Graham's report saying he has also heard a version of this story and that Whaley hasn't been a Jackson guy for a while.

Heard a version of what @ByTimGraham just tweeted. Whaley hasn't been a Jackson guy for a while.

Sure sounds like a fracture has emerged if somebody in the FO or Coaching Staff is going to sell out Whaley to the media.

Let's not talk about this any more on the internet, if we do, the media will talk about it and it can lead to a distraction for the locker room.

Yeah and they had sources saying Cassel would start, and instead he'll soon be cut.

Re: BN: Doug Whaley Went Rogue Cutting Fred Jackson

Cassel isn't starting and FJ is old, so what else is there to know ?

So Whaley wants to win with 'his guys', regardless of the value of any holdovers? Interesting.

Maybe that's why Chandler was dumped also.

I dont like this move but I feel like every coach and gm does this and gets rid of the previous regime to go with 'their guy'

Re: BN: Doug Whaley Went Rogue Cutting Fred Jackson

You have to admit that it's an interesting rumor.

We mustn't forget that there was a time (not long ago at all) when T-Pegs was evidently trying to court Bill Polian. And what could such courtship have been other than an effort to replace Whaley?

Add in the fact that Whaley was the driving force behind the trade for Bryce Brown and... yeah it kind of makes some sense.

That being said, Rex Ryan is the most powerful person in this organization right now. If he truly wanted to keep Jackson AND was willing to sell out Whaley and second guess his decision making to the boss he could have done so.

But that's just the thing. Who wants to start their relationship with the GM that way? Especially given Rex's tortured past with incompetent Jets GMs.

To a certain point, yes. It also wouldn't be that unusual for a new regime to supplant the old leadership in favor of new. Reeks of insecurity, though. If FJ was a 'mud-raker' or 'trouble-maker' type leader, I could understand it, but he's a 'team' guy all the way regardless of who the head coach or GM is. A good administrator knows how to utilize those qualities, not jettison them.

@Fred22Jackson on GM Doug Whaley: "There’s only one person in that organization that I haven’t gotten honesty from, and that was him.”

Stop self projecting.

You blame everyone else for your own faults, BS.

Look in the freaking mirror, loser.

There's nothing more to the story.

Karlos Williams outperformed Fred Jackson and he costs a hell of a lot less.

End of story.
