who woulda' thunk that hiring a bunch of fired coaches from an equally bad team wouldn't have worked out?

it always amuses me when fans admiringly refer to brandon as a marketing genius. basically, it's as if they're saying, "this guy is so smart he's managed to fool us all into thinking that this garbage product they put on the field year after year is actually entertainment." my love/hate affair with the bills started well before him and will continue well after he's failed upwards into the league offices.

it's off like a mofo.

this is my favorite comment on this board ever.

it's astonishing. at some point, you would think that people will realize personnel trumps everything else. great gm's tend to have more that 1 winning season on their resume.

or maybe he doesn't throw it enough because he's not an accurate passer.

there's no way that whaley doesn't package that pick, our second, and two future firsts to move up 3 spots for a guy with a history of back injuries. their scouts had him ranked as a top five pick after all!

i agree that that the overlap between whaley and nix makes attributing responsibility a bit murky (which may or may not have been intended). as i mentioned earlier, i believe that whaley was in total agreement with the pick. but let's assume he wasn't. if the bills allowed a retiring gm to make a pick on his own -- or force the new gm to make it -- then it points to major organizational incompetence far worse than just making a bad pick. and if whaley made the pick just because nix sent out a directive, then that's on him. if i'm a new gm, i'm not about to waste a first round pick and two years of development on a qb who i know isn't good enough. but like i said, i tend to believe whaley's comments in that video where he lauds ej. he liked ej's "presence" and thought he looked the part.

this post might make sense if the bills had a winning record or a great shot at the playoffs and fans were clamoring for change. whining and moping is more than fair given the team's history and current state. but, yeah, let's bag on other fans for being negative/pissed off/disappointed yet again.

i don't think he can be trusted because of his own words. his main reason for picking ej was due to his "presence" and the fact that he was tall. plus he rejected analytics in favor of ej's "it" factor, whatever the hell that means: the only part i agree with whaley on in that entire video is the last 20 seconds when he says he should be out of a job if the ej pick doesn't work out.

i agree that whaley probably doesn't have the foresight or aptitude to pick a hall of fame player.

consuming magic mushrooms only results in explosive diarrhea for me, which is roughly on par with what i expect from the bills this week.

i don't know about him as a player, but i would trade 2 firsts and a conditional second for those show-stopping eyebrows!

constantly. what else is there to talk about?

i've always said that vasectomies should be mandatory for all players. but i suppose that's something that would get the pc crowd's rainbow-colored panties in a bunch.

during most games i'm so high i have no idea what's going on.

one hundred zillion.

i appreciate it when my co-workers tell me that i should take less money than i think i deserve for the good of the company. especially if the company isn't particularly successful in its primary goal.

yeah, exactly -- it's like having a 12th man on the field (even though you're only allowed to have 11)!

disagree. in seattle, they're called the "12th man."

not sure if anyone picked up on this before, but apparently seattle's fans are referred to as the "12th man." this is because they can be very loud and disruptive when the opposing offense is on the field. since teams are only allowed to have 11 players on the field at the same time, this points to how important the fans are to the team (they are essentially a "12th man"). hopefully, the announcers pick up on this fact during the game and update us as to the loudness of the crowd!

onions, peppers AND asparagus? it's on like a mofo!

"why is carpenter wearing a pair of slacks?"

dammit, you're probably right. i think that makes him both a better fan than all of us and a better gm than whaley (who only likes to watch).
