Whaley's aggressiveness and willingness to take chances is a breath of fresh air. I like what he's done so far, and am not going to condemn him for a few misses, regardless of the position.

marrone's specialty was O line and guys like Eric Wood who had been servicable looked lost under marrone's tutelage. i think marrone carries a lot of the issues with the team. the d wasn't his. the players selected for it wasn't his. and he just passed it off so he could focus on the line and offense. both of which had mild levels of success despite him. there was no consistency.
that doesn't make whaley GM of the year. it could be that whaley isn't long for this gig either. and both would be failures.
i really think this is whaley's year to prove he has provided enough talent to take a step forward.

As much as I got caught up in the draft hype of certain needs this team has, and saw them overlooked by our GM I have to look at the roster as a whole. I really believe there is a much better evaluation of the player's we see are coming in. I no longer sense that we are signing players to fit a budget that leaves us some twenty million under the cap.

So.... what's to say that none of these guys that everyone is pissing and moaning over couldn't be a "maybe"?
And I'm not at all insinuating that we shouldn't have bothered drafting the later round players. Because as you stated, you never know. However I am also of the realization that these late round players that people are pissing and moaning over are also real long shots to make teh team anyway. So why be pissed over the selection? If they hit on one, great. If not, it's to be expected and you just move on....
Loving the false accusations.
Yet I could not give a crap who you are.
Nice post. But if they both are failures they got the Bills to 9-7. And when Ryan doesn't do that in 2015 people are going to start wondering. Ryan = most overrated head coach out there. Marrone I still don't like, but he did what he did despite Whaley. Whaley's ceiling is director of player personnel. No higher.

Kuoandijo pick. Chris Williams signing. Other moves say otherwise.
