    There Are Qualified GM Candidates- Will Ralph Ignore Them ?

    Ernie Accorsi, the ex Giants GM would be my favorite. He's consulting for the Falcons part time. Jerry Reese, the ex-Titans GM, drafted wisely. He lost his job over the Vince Young debate (opposed). Charlie Casserly didn't do much with the Texans but was an A+ GM with the Redskins, back in the day. I don't think any would command any Parcells type salary. We sorely need a fresh set of eyes.

    All are far better options than letting Jauron have more power or some other Bills office lackey with no GM experience. Ralph can't keep using the TD experience as an excuse. Each person is different.

    Can Ralph think out of the box or is his mind confined to a box these days ?
    I'm actually frightened to find out.

    Give us hope, Ralphie Boy.

    Have you watched the team the past 10 years? We already found the answer to that question long ago.

    I will have no problem with an insider over some big name from the outside.

    We finished dead last in the AFC in Defense. 2nd last in Offense (KC had 5 less yards).

    A fresh set of eyes may have the bag to tell Jauron and Ralph it's not working. Otherwise, it's more of the same.

    Umm, if the new GM is an insider and qualified to be the next GM of the Bills, then why wasn't he hired when TD was fired? I mean, all the internal candidates were already in the organization? If they are such a good fit, then why didn't Ralphy pick them back then?

    Very very verryyyyyyy good point!

    Everyone should question that...if no one was good enough in the organization 2 years ago, then why would someone be good now?

    Either we don't have the right person inside the organization, or we kinda do and Ralph was just scrambling to win the fans back with the Marv move...

    I can hear it now...Marv trained them the last 2 years and now they are ready...blah, blah, blah. I just don't think anybody is good enough in the organization, but it will be the cheapest way and the most comfortable for Ralph.

    I love Marv and everything but I think the only thing he's been training anyone on is Ralphie with his adult daipers.

    Marv is a smart man but I highly doubt he put too too much work into the GM position as many other GM's put in, and while our scouting guy wants nothing to do with the GM position, the people who are being mentioned are straight money and contract guys. So we'll have the people who imposed "Cash to crap" selecting our players and FA's.

    So we'll have the guys who are directed by Ralph to be cheap being selected as a GM..which beyond a doubt will probably happen.
