    I don't know that Gailey would be dead set against canning Wanny. But, he may stay, you're right.
    Is it possible that the run D issues really were mostly guy properly filling their gaps? I still want LB'ers that can adequately cover the flat and seems. I still want guys that can shed blocks and tackle. Sheppard is horrible. Watch the play at 4:49 in the 2nd to get a glimpse of how bad he is.

    My biggest worry is that if the D continues to play better, Nix will make Wanny the HC. However, I'm pretty sure Wanny would want Chan as his OC so in the end, Chan will most likely stay.

    Does this mean then that he wont be there before we draft? Tannehill and Ponder come to mind. Someone will reach for him before we can take him.

    Re: Just talked with a source about Gailey's future and QB in draft

    Being moderately exposed to SEC football, I should know more about him. The SEC is tough and just glossing over his stats, he seems to have done pretty in the two years he has started. 13 INTs this year though make his junior season the better of the two. Apparently, he had a concussion in the home loss to ULM. Not sure how well he moves in the pocket, but if his rushing stats and 14 sacks are any indication, it might be a concern. On the other hand, he seems to be a fierce competitor and doesn't suffer fools gladly.

    Could be had in the 2nd round I think.

    It is clear you never saw Fergy play. 4th best Bills QB ever behind Kelly, Kemp & Lamonica.

    Better wipe those glasses. I went to every game that he was in Buffalo up to the point I left for college in '81. I was there for his first game, in preseason, against the Skins where Herb Mul-Key set the tone for the newly opened Rich Stadium by returning the opening kick for a TD.

    4th best Bills QB ever behind Kelly, Kemp & Lamonica.
    LOL...That's not saying much. Kelly for sure. Kemp...great leader, but a lousy passer. The Bills won despite his shortcomings mainly due to an amazing defense and a diamond-in-the-rough running back.

    It's telling that you would list a guy that had only 350 attempts in a Bills uniform as one of the franchise's three best quarterbacks. But let's leave Lamonica out of it. Let's just consider QB's with at least 500 attempts. IMHO...

    1. Kelly

    Big, huge gap.

    2-5. Kemp, Fergie, Flutie, Bledsoe. A case can be made for any of them in any position, but I'll go with Fergie in the top 3.

    6-11: Shaw, Collins, Johnson, Losman, Edwards, Fitz.

    Ferguson was decent, but he was maddening at times as his career TD/INT ratio should indicate...181/198 with the Bills. He was never a guy you could count on to carry a team. He needed a solid cast around him and even then he always came up short.

    Is he better than just about every QB in franchise history? Certainly. But considering the cast of schlubs OBD has paraded out as starters, it's faint praise indeed.

    As it stands now, I wouldn't not expect him to make it to 11 where we currently sit.

    If the Bills really like a QB, this would be a good year to move up and get their guy.

    You know what schedule we draw for next season since I outlined it in a different thread.

    What do you do with him when the team regresses to 6-10 with that schedule or worse?

    the only games that will be different for us in terms of order of finish in the division are:

    1 game vs sd, kc or oak

    and

    1 game vs ind, ten, or jax

    i dont like fitz and gailey either, but to not bring them back based on next years schedule is silly

    May have to. They have multiple targets though so it will be based on what kind of deal they can get along with the risk/reward.

    If you get to 8-8 this year and then regress next year, which I guarantee their record will be at best 6-10 with the schedule they'll draw. What basis do you keep the guy around under? The NFL is results league and if you go from 8-8 one year to 6-10 the next year, in year 4 of your rebuilding mode, your rebuilding mode was a failure.

    Well, if the Bills do go from 8-8 this year to 6-10 next year, then Chan should be fired. But if they get a decent QB & a LB or 2 this off season, the Bills may do better than 6-10.

    Bills should do whatever they can to get Manti Te'o.

    The QB here next year will be either Fitz, Vick or Alex Smith.

    Because that's what will be available for us to choose from.

    What's this "if next year" shee-ite that "the rebuild will be a failure"? It IS a failure. Is it not painfully obvious what a chump Gailey is?

    One game against a crap team and you guys are already humping the couch again? Who have the Bills beaten this year? They have beaten the last place team in every division in the AFC and the NFC West. Combined record: 17-43.

    from the little that I've seen, he has great ball placement inspite of having a crappy OL. Am I right?

    Re: Just talked with a source about Gailey's future and QB in draft

    i think the OP makes sense given that nix is essentially tired of answering the gailey question. he knows he's doing the PC thing by saying, "we are behind our man. but he also knows his responsibility to field a marketable team. barring a complete miracle, something that hasnt' happened since the 32 point comeback game, we aren't getting to the playoffs.

    I think a guy like Nix, an old-timer, has to hate saying one thing, knowing at the end he'll have to do another. and i think that's probably why he's tired of answering the question.

    But to me, this all seems like a mob hit. They take out nix's man, but nix knows that doesn't mean he's safe. it means he's next if he doesn't get it right. and i do think his intentions are good. and i think he's been a good soldier most of his career and has routinely been passed over as GM. so i genuinely think he wants to win and prove that he deserved the gig.

    firing chan only means the scrutiny on him is increased.

    It is a failure and he should be canned now.

    My point is holding him another season is just wasting the season because there's no way you can sell anyone on keeping him in 2014 after you regress in the standings in 2013.
