That Doug Whaley DID NOT draft EJ Manuel... Sal just said on WGR he knows for a fact that Buddy Nix desperately wanted a QB going into the 2013 draft and it was Buddy Nix decision to draft EJ Manuel... What a wonderful way to go out on retirement with that dubious decision

Re: Sal Capaccio wants you to Know
That's old news.
It was reported back then that was Buddys gift out the door from Ralph. Selecting a QB who is a bust.
Whatever. At least they found Taylor, drafted Jones and will draft another QB next year. At least they had the sense to start the right QB last year and move on.Anonymity is an abused privilege, abused most by people who mistake vitriol for wisdom and cynicism for wit

"No, the guy who wasted the 16th overall on a useless QB retired. We have the guy responsible for the good picks "
I don't know- I wasn't there. Maybe it's the truth. But I truly believe that this is what they would tell the media regardless of the actual truth.

Re: Sal Capaccio wants you to Know
The best thing about the EJ pick was that it wasn't a killer for us. We traded back from the Austin pick and got Kiko and EJ with that deal. Kiko turned into McCoy. So we still got Production from that #9 pick. It was a pretty safe move.
The JP Losman pick was a back breaker and derailed this team for the better half of a decade. EJ cost us a few games.Last edited by The King; 08-11-2016, 02:11 PM.I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
"Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

Re: Sal Capaccio wants you to Know
this debate is so boring. it does seem largely on buddy since he didn't know he was being recorded. that forced our hand to can fitz and look for someone fresh. but whaley was on the record saying its his pick and that he should be judgd by EJ's success or lack thereof. ej is pretty spectacularly bad. that jags game should not have played out like that. he singlehandedly threw a game away. but as long as the entire front office never pays the price for 16 crappy years, there is reason to believe that there will be another 16 terrible years ahead.

Nix went on record saying that he wanted to get the QB of the future in here before his time was up. He drafted for need instead of talent, which is always a danger. Picked the wrong year to press the issue. But at least we traded down and got some value in the end. We also didn't waste very much time with EJ...just one year, really.
People with one brain cell take a wild stab a Russ Brandon when they need a scapegoat. He had nothing to do with it.
Part of anyone's job is to talk up the personnel the team actually DOES have in public. So if Whaley talked up EJ, then that explains it.Last edited by feldspar; 08-11-2016, 02:53 PM.
