Mr. WEO Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 You act like he had a lot of options to choose from. Nix brought in Chandler, Pears, Urbik, Rinehart and Kyle Moore all off the scrap heap. We now have one of the better offensive lines in the league thanks in large part to Nix. We're sitting at 5-3 if our defense wasn't so inexplicably god awful. You can't tell me that falls on Nix. That falls on Wannstedt. Whether they make it or not, Dareus, Williams, Sheppard, Gilmore and Glenn were all the right picks at the time. Previous regimes would've gotten cute and not drafted Cordy Glenn. There is an element of luck involved with which players pan out too. I think Nix knows he needs a franchise QB and will take one next year even if it means trading up. He has been nothing but honest and forthright with the fans and I absolutely endorse Buddy Nix on this election day. But unfortunately, I had to go with "no" on Gailey. Nix boasted that he was getting 15 calls a day for the HC job in Buffalo before he settled for Gailey. Nix has invested the bulk of his drafts in the defense and it is the worst in the league 3 years in. The pass D sucks and the run D is even worse. The DBs have one legit player and that's Byrd. A Williams is terrible and Gilmore is looking like a guy who will draw a lot of PI penalties in his career. Sheppard is now regarded as a decent LB compared to the rest. Merriman is useless, yet was brought back anyway. The front 4 generates little pressure. The front 4 still has only one guy playing hard every week (Kyle). The entire offense except for Spiller revolves around guys Nix inherited on the roster. Fitz is what he is--it seems clear to me bringing in "Wildcat Guru" Dave Lee has changed Fitz's mechanics for the worse. Nix in 3 years hasn't brought in anyone at QB. The current backups include TT and TJ, 2 guys who were let go by teams as bad as or worse than the Bills--and both teams currently start rookies instead. Nix hired Gailey, Edwards, Wanny. Nuff said.
