DevilsAlum Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 Great article from the National Football Post. After reading it I have hope for the Bills Front Office under Buddy Nix http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/Discon...n-scouting.html
DarthICE Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 Agreed. I love the fact Nix says he wants to hire MORE scouts. Man that is awesome
JohnC Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 Agreed. I love the fact Nix says he wants to hire MORE scouts. Man that is awesome Just think, having Levy and Brandon as the nexus of the scouting operation never made sense. Neither had the scouting experience to challenge or further explore a position on any particular prospect.
Chas56 Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 That also means that when Levy and Brandon were two of the top four making choices, the other two were Wilson and Jauron. So basically. we were f&%#ed. Brandon knew marketing not scouting players. Levy knew coaching (ten years prior) not talent evaluation per say. He had Polian and Butler for that. Wilson is an owner not a scout for crying out loud. And I wouldn't trust Dick Jauron to get the coffee. So there were our four: Brandon, Levy, Wilson, and Jauron.

spartacus Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 Agreed. I love the fact Nix says he wants to hire MORE scouts. Man that is awesome sure is awesome I especially like how he moved fast to make it happen. he should get around to it right after Ralph opens the purse strings, so there will be no improvement for this draft 6 scouts and 2 part time guys working from home sure seems like a top notch NFL run talent evaluation operation
bkc Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 That also means that when Levy and Brandon were two of the top four making choices, the other two were Wilson and Jauron. So basically. we were f&%#ed.

And I wouldn't trust Dick Jauron to get the coffee. So there were our four: Brandon, Levy, Wilson, and Jauron. I think in the end Jauron is the root of this mess. That said he was hired as a coach and the rest kindo fell into his lap. Either way what a wast of 4 years
first_and_ten Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 i agree, it is truly amazing how the past three years set the franchise back. i just wonder who ralph ultimately listens to. Try the last 10 years
spartacus Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 i agree, it is truly amazing how the past three years set the franchise back. i just wonder who ralph ultimately listens to. still can't believe posters give Modrak a free pass he is the head of college scouting, yet is the one "qualified" guy who did not push for his choices, either because he was never around OBD since he lives in Florida or his talent evaluation skills are severely overrated and based heavily on hindsight.
Red Squirrel Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 i agree, it is truly amazing how the past three years set the franchise back. i just wonder who ralph ultimately listens to. I think what is truly amazing is that I fully understand the point you are making but contend that those three years actually represented a step forward.
