Re: Doug Whaley Sucks
Well, that is a very informative post, JK, thanks for the info
But maybe to have an actual discussion.
I think Whaley does not suck. Overall.
Negative:
- cutting Freddy (also you can defend the step football and injury probability-wise)
- trading up for Sammy (also you can defend the step if you consider (hopefully soon to be) top-5 receiver worth two firsts and there was no QB available the next year anyway)
positive:
- best roster in maybe 20 years (yes QB is the most important position, but it is better to have all other pieces in place than to have no piece in place, which was true the last decade; and maybe we found our QB)
So actually the positive trumps the negative in my book. He is the best GM we had in years.
But I definitely dont like the rumours and the handling of the Freddy situation. And if we go in the first game with Karlos starting I might reconsider my assessment.Comment

Re: Doug Whaley Sucks
Is there something new out there?
Whaley cut Fred and Fred was mad about it.
Ohhh and the Eagles traded McCoy because he was talented and black.Comment

Re: Doug Whaley Sucks
The 2003 roster was the last truly solid one since the Super bowl years. We were an O-line away from being a playoff favorite. That defense was better than this one. This is the best roster we've had since then.Originally posted by Topas View PostWell, that is a very informative post, JK, thanks for the info

Re: Doug Whaley Sucks
Right, I forgot about that awesome defense. Statistically the 2004 team performed even better. So I would argue for that roster. Although I don't remember the personnel changes between 2003 and 2004. Might also be that the improvement was due to the change from Williams to Mularkey.
Wikipedia says this about the 2004 Bills:
According to Football Outsiders, who has tracked every play in the NFL since the early 1990s, the 2004 Bills are statistically the best NFL team (in their record-keeping history) to have failed to qualify for the playoffs.
Another very sad record that is ours...Comment

Re: Doug Whaley Sucks
I agree. I think the organization envisioned Cassell starting here and that puts FJAX on the field in pass protection a lot. They were surprised that TMOBILE emerged and EJ has grown. A whole new ball game when those two guys look like they can play FJAX falls down the depth chart. If he wants to play they did him a favor by cutting him...and they did the team that picks him up a favor too.Originally posted by djjimkelly View PostComment

Wikipedia says this about the 2004 Bills:
Another very sad record that is ours...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: Doug Whaley Sucks
Positives:
- best overall roster in last decade
- good cap management
- resigning right players & letting wrong ones walk.
Negatives:
- Trading up for Sammy in deepest WR draft ever
- QB: waiting until worst QB draft to drafting EJ & then passing on better prospects.
- Overvaluing RB position & McCoy. Murray was better & has less mileage.

Totally mishandled FJ
Overall, he's been a good but not great GMPlease Make SenseComment

Re: Doug Whaley Sucks
I like what Whaley has done for the most part all that means nothing if we don't win. All the good moves depend on how good we are which is actually tied to the qb position. If we can't win because of bad quarterbacking, it's his fault. Thats all on him.Comment
