I would take all of them over Whaley. Nix, Levy and Donohoe may have all equally stunk - but at least they could put three words together without embarrassing the franchise.

Careful - share too much and Jason LaCanfora will steal your info.

Can we please face reality and realize Whaley is completely incompetent? Fire this clown before he buries us to depths it will take a decade to recover from.

So are you saying there's a 70% chance that Taylor will be cut/traded?

This thread has been up for a good 90 minutes and no one thought to post this gif??? Frankly, I'm disappointed in all of you.

Oh don't worry. The next kicker will have just as many apologists.

I knew Nickell's days were numbered when he changed his last name to a hyphenated atrocity.

I don't think it's that far-fetched. He's certainly the most incompetent GM in front of camera's and microphones. He's made some dumb draft-day trades. Weak drafts. Has he accomplished anything during his tenure?

I'm beginning to think he's the most incompetent GM in NFL history but is pretty good at fooling his bosses into deflecting the blame and keeping him around.

I tend to believe Wawrow over national reporters but that doesn't change the fact that Whaley is not very bright for not allowing the new coaching staff to choose who they want to QB their team.

What do you mean by "legit qb"? Top 5? Not realistic. No matter how poor you think Tyrod is, he was the quarterback of the 10th most efficient offense in the NFL in 2016. One year after leading the 9th most efficient offense. The defense finished 26th in DVOA in 2016, one year after finishing 24th. The defense is the problem. And aside from having an elite quarterback like Rodgers or Brady, the team isn't going to be very good with such a poor defense. So either the GM isn't doing his job and the players aren't good OR the coaching staff was to blame for the poor defense. If you think it's the latter, then McDermott and his staff should be able to greatly improve the D. So why would you not want to keep the offense the same? It makes no logical sense to want to replace Taylor if you think the team around Taylor is good enough to realistically compete for a Wild Card right now.

I don't see why it's a problem. If the head coach is good then it's an advantage in finding a GM. If the head coach is bad then that gives the new GM an excuse for his own job security. "He's not my head coach. I need my own head coach." In the end, a GM's most important job is building a quality roster of players anyway.

2019?!!

For the record, Vic's report was that both Rex and Whaley were under the threat of playoffs or bust. Which turned out incorrect. Ten pages and counting...

That's a horrible summary. Half the posters don't believe the report, the other half don't care whether it's true or not - it doesn't change the fact that Whaley is incompetent and needs to be shown the door.

Why would you ever think I was a Whaley lover? I'd throw Whaley away over an F- quarterback.

Whaley already used up all of his "it's the coach's fault" cards so his next excuse to extend his ridiculous tenure here is to force the coaches to start a rookie quarterback. "Terry, the starting QB was a rookie. We're on the right track. We just need more time." "Okay, Doug. I guess you're right."

Just fire Whaley already. Good Lord enough is enough.

If McDermott and his coaching staff want Tyrod to be the quarterback and Whaley is pushing back then Whaley is being an ass. That's the bottom line.

He learned half of his mistake by firing Rex. Whaley is next. Only delaying the inevitable by keeping him around.

In this special case the new Head Coach should make the decision on Tyrod and the GM should be understanding of that. If he's not then he should be fired after the Draft. (He should be fired anyway because he stinks at his job).

I don't doubt it. Forrest and I hope you're right.
