No- they just like to be negative to rile fans up. It doesn't matter if they are right- some fans will buy into anything negative as being true.
WGR has an agenda, and so does Jerry Sullivan- its NOT to tell it like it is, but to sell papers and increase ratings, and they do that by being negative. They have to because neither they nor management are any good at what they do.
Do I think Marv Levy will do a good job as GM? Maybe, maybe not. Capability and results are two different things.
Do I think he is capable- absolutely, 100%, and no doubt. Yes, I understand that he does not have experience atthe NFL level as a GM- but I somewhat beg to differ on that point. Coach and GM are VERY similar positions- both have to surround themselves with the best possible people- good people, and talented people.
Now good people doesn't mean "nice" people as Schopp argued (just to try to kill a good point a caller made that was more articulate than himself). Good means that they are not self serving, and will do what it takes to make the organization better- and that you can trust them.
Levy always was excellent at surrounding himself with good people- and always was very loyal to them.
Will he clean house, and bring his people in the first year? No- he won't rush things....he is not into the MTV way of doing things a mile a minute- he will evaluate what is here, then adjust to it accordingly.
Levy is a true leader, and people will naturally gravitate to him, and follow him.
I never had the pleasure to speak with him, but I did run into hima few times as an intern, and you can tell what a commanding presence the man has just by being in the same room as him.
I'm very pleased and excited he's with the Bills again
