Congrats.

A sympathetic view of Whaley is that he's been chained to head coaches he had little to do with. HOWEVER, I've long thought of Whaley as more of an order taker for the HC than an organizational leader. At some point a leader sets a vision and steers his organization in that direction. Whaley's never given the appearance of doing that. It seems every year that Whaley's been asked (when he was taking questions) what his draft plan was, he'd say "whatever coach wants". It wouldn't surprise me if Whaley keeps his salary and slides over to Director of Scouting. Then McDermott's godfather or the "philosophical soulmate" of his choosing takes over as GM.

You saw "Draft Day", didn't you? Under your plan how long does it take to restructure Dareus? Wouldn't it be a hoot if the Bills and their trade partners did everything you propose, then the Bills trade out of the 1 & 2 spots?

So you turn him into a valuable role player FOR SOMEONE ELSE. Savvy?

I guess it does help to wait, then?

He doesn't have high mileage. And why would the clock start on his "best years" AFTER the Pats* deal is up? It starts this September, at least if I'm evaluating him.

Don't understand the infatuation with picks. Crapshoots at best. Gillislee has already far outperformed the vast majority of 5th round picks, and his best years are still in front of him.

I think I agree with you. I'm sure in the oil and gas business, Pegula was able to be very discerning about who he wanted to work with, and knew what he was looking for, but in the sports world you're dealing with egos, wannabes, posers, glory hounds, those living off of past reputation etc. And Pegula is having to learn the hard way. I think he'll get there and maybe even be better im the long run for having a rough start.

All home games minus preseasons, and maybe Cincy.

You should lay claim to them. I'm not one to call names but it's undeniable to even the most obtuse that this board has noticeably and precipitously declined since the exodus. This guy's a supporter of extreme refugee vetting.

So the Pegulas should shut up and....sell? Or something else? Wahh wahhh wahh.

Um, the look of recognition was immediate. In fact, lightning fast considering that it had to be processed while in the middle of answering a question from the pack of hyenas. Possibly staged.

Can you elaborate on what you mean?

Close follower of the team here, had never heard this. Where did this come out? Link?

My speculation is the detectives following him around uncovered enough to send him packing, quietly.

How much is enough?

Works! Nonpretentious.

I'm picturing Homer Simpson with a thought bubble over his head with the words "mmm... comp picks" in it.

Yea, that was me. And it is irritating, almost as much as people calling McKelvin "McLovin". Look, we all have our hot buttons, no? Mine just happens to be McStupidity.

Please stop with "McCoach". It's so irritating.

If you move across the country, change jobs and take a pay cut, just so you can get to all the home games, it's probably love. Or obsession.

So happy to see that posters focus on the good of others, rather than focusing on lining their own pockets.

Interesting. I try hard to make my birthday like every other day. I only celebrate it to meet my kids' expectations.

The drama comes from fans who want comp pick calculations to drive our strategy. Yes, DRIVE our strategy. Let that sink in.

Are the new posters doing all this on purpose?
