    Rapoport: Whaley More Likely to Be Extended Than Fired

    From his tweets and report this morning on NFL Gameday.


    Discussed #Bills GM situation on @NFLGameDay: I'm told Doug Whaley is on very solid ground. Better chance he gets an extension than fired.

    The #Bills look at the improvements GM Doug Whaley has made in his tenure & Rex Ryan works well with him. The Pegulas are fans, too.
    That should probably settle those hoping for Whaley to get canned.

      I'd like to know how a concept of 'working well together' with a head coach that very basically made the team far worse than the prior season qualifies as a positive.

        His job is to improve the roster. He has most definitely done that. Enough said

          as many of Whaley's choices have been questionable i can't say i'm happy about this, that said he definitely has improved the talent on this team. In the dark days of Dick Jauron, you knew this team wasn't going to the playoffs or even going to sniff a winning record because the talent on the team was so poor (well, Dick Jauron was the head coach too, but still even vince lombardy would have struggled to get a winning record out of that talent less squad); even under Nix it wasn't great, as about all i can say for galley is he did a lot with almost nothing.

          Since nix the talent level of the team has gone up fast, its to the point now where i'd say we're not inferior to most playoff teams, in fact i'd say we're superior in many positions. The problem now is we have a fat clown for a HC.
          My wife told me that if I had a dollar for every girl who found me unattractive, girls would find me VERY attractive.

          MY WIFE SAID THAT!!!

            I never stop hoping for the unattainable. Helps me get out of bed every day.

              We're screwed if keeping Whaley means were hanging on to Rex for the life of his contract.

                I think more so if it means we're counting on him to supply the trenches. He's all about spending big on shiny skill players. This is going to be a critical draft for the trenches or all the skill players in the world will just get us not much.

                    His job is to build a winning team, including hiring a coaching staff that maximizes available talent.

                      If he extends Whaley, Pegula will have just undone every bit of good will he created by buying the team.

                      Hopelessness.

                      Thank God he chose a different path with the Sabres.

                        Im not sure how much power he has/had over the coaching staff. May be another lucifer (Russ Brandon) pr move...
                        I came.
                        I saw.
                        I conquered.

                          How are they "far worse", when the record will be pretty much the same?

                            Then he is not a real GM and the Bills are in an even worse position since the marketing department is in control.

                              At the end of last season the Bills had a top five Defense and a coordinator who knew how to use the personnel on that Defense.

                              At the end of this season, that unit has been decimated by a Head Coach, Coordinator and system that misused the same personnel. And the plan going forward is to stay the course.

                              The Offense is a raging mediocrity, basically a wash with last year's Offense.

                              The team has a total lack of leadership and is the least disciplined group in the NFL.

                              It's hard to believe, but this team actually took steps backwards from Doug Marrone.
