Nix sucks...

Re: Nix sucks...

1) Check your Bills timeline
2) We've had much more than 3 hits in 3 years. You want proven 5+ year studs but that's obviously impossible since they are all under 3.

Nix has done a nice job. The Troup draft is the only one that's a miss... And even that one netted us Spiller.

Troup was far from his only miss.

I know officially Nix was in charge this year, but do you REALLY think the Bills would make Whaley GM and hamstring him with a 4th Nix draft? We may not have known as fans but the team had to know that Nix was on his way out before this draft. I have no way to prove it, but logically this has to be Whaley's draft with input from Nix.

Re: Nix sucks...

Nix has had success and colossal failure. He hired Gailey, he extended Fitz. Both extra stupid moves (hindsight wasn't required). He has had a few good picks, but so far only one true difference maker in CJ. His legacy here is hitched to the current roster and the Marrone hire. If a couple more of his draftees turn into something special, and Marrone proves he belongs, then Nix gets anointed.

Re: Nix sucks...

This year's draft was Whaley.

3 good players from Nix in 3 years- wow, what a genius.

The only thing Nix did better than his predecessors was not whiff in the first round. The rest of his draft classes have been terrible.

NO! It was Nix. Whaley had input just like the last few years ,but whatever happens to this draft falls on Nix.

Re: Nix sucks...

Nix was an idiot country bumpkin who was hired because Ralph recognized his name. That's it! Look it up. He hitched his wagon on a retread coach and a 7 round backup QB and got burned and he goes out into the sunset like he has a legacy here. LMAO. This years draft was not his. You were all made to think it was so he looks good in the end. This is how this organization rolls until the owner is no longer here.

Cordy Glenn is a difference maker. Franchise LT without a doubt. Hasn't allowed a pressure yet.

Sorry. Russ and Whaley said Nix led the draft .He led the hiring of Marrone too. Unless you were there yourself, I'll listen to them.

And BTW, Nix hired Whaley .

Re: Nix sucks...

I think I'm going to wait until the Bills make a playoff appearance with the core that he built before I anoint him the saviour.

Until then, he's just a guy that turned a 7-9 team into a 6-10 team.

Re: Nix sucks...

Who cares if he hired Whaley. So you believe everyting they tell you eh? Poor guy....this team is run by a group of guys who took orders from an owner and now take orders from his cronies and bookkeepers to make sure his wishes were still met when he went senile. Open your eyes. This was Whaley's draft and you can tell too.

They stated publicly it was Nix. Are you telling me I should believe a MB poster instead? Who gets credit for hiring Whaley? Does Donahoe get credit for hiring Greg Williams and Mularkey?


Nix said he wanted to draft a franchise qb and they did. Whether it was Whaley who did the scouting I don't care, they did what NIx said they would do and they drafted EJ.

In the end it doesn't matter. You're right...go BIILS

it matters when arguing who gets credit or who is to blame for failures. Guys like Troup was Nix fault too.

Re: Nix sucks...

Leave the old guy alone.... After all, he does have his prostrate to worry about.

Re: Nix sucks...

I'll never understand why some people insist on defending a guy who gave us Gailey, Wannstadt, and Fitzpatrick (who still counts as $7 million in dead cap next year)and never managed more than 6 wins in a season.

And if Nix gets credit for this draft, he takes the hit for Levitre and the Byrd fiasco. Can't have it both ways.

I'm not defending him. He's responsible and is to blame for Gailey and Wanny too. It's his fault. As a mattter fo fact if EJ and Whaley fails , this is on NIx. But don't go making assumptions that contradict what people from the organization publicly claimed without bringing in your own sources.

Yes, he's at fault for Levitre too.

Re: Nix sucks...

the guy also wasted two picks in consecutive years for kickers in the 6th round who went on to not kick for this team. potter isn't sticking with other teams either.
meanwhile, we never really got depth at key positions like OL and LB.

he also has a guy drafted in 2 of his 3 drafts where the guy wasn't on the team mid way through camp. those are some huge misses.

show me the baby, and i'll tell you who the parents are. show me the playoffs and we can debate who was the architect. As of right now, its the same titanic captains shuffling the chairs around.
