seq004 Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 (edited) God I hope so but not according to Brandon. IMO he has done a poor job in the area he was suppose to excel at, which is building a winner through the draft. Edited April 28, 2013 by seq004
Hapless Bills Fan Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 Q: In the past four months how has Doug Whaley’s role grown and evolved? RB: It’s been consistent with years past, really the past couple of years. Doug continues to mature within his role. Buddy keeps providing him opportunity within the department. There’s lot of speculation for whatever reason related to that. Buddy Nix is our general manager and will be for a long time. As I mentioned before, Doug is a vital part to the process but when it comes to football decisions in this organization, one person and one person only makes decisions and that’s Buddy Nix. A long time in the NFL can be measured in months. Wasn't it last year about this time Buddy Nix was opining "Ryan Fitzpatrick is our quarterback and will be for a long time"?
dwight in philly Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 (edited) His name is BRANDON. this board can be tedious , i know there are fact-checker police, but now spelling??? on a friggin football talk site! please.. stop.. stick to content! Edited April 28, 2013 by dwight in philly
BADOLBILZ Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 I think its already happening as this draft doesn't hv a Nix feel to it How does it not have a "Nix feel to it"? Since Buddy got here the Bills have drafted almost exclusively for need and that's exactly what this draft was. They were receiver desperate, short on LB's, they had dumped their starting SS and their starting FS is going to want upwards of $10M per. And oh yeah, their QB situation is perilous. Kevin Kolb is a laughingstock. They had crying needs that they attempted to address with draft picks. It hasn't proven to be a successful approach in previous Nix drafts, but make no mistake, it is the same approach. Drafting for need. Hell, last year they took a low production, undersized speed receiver in the third round.......and this year the EXACT same. This draft has Buddy Nix all over it......it's just that this time he is drafting for a different style of offense and defense.

He usually southern guys and we went west, and northwest and southwest with four high picks. He usually likes character guys and we took two (three counting Da'Rick) that were problem guys. He likes three-four year starters and we took a few that played 1-2 years. To me, this had Marrone, Hackett and Pettine all over it. Every bad team drafts for need because they have so many needs.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 His name is BRANDON. this board can be tedious , i know there are fact-checker police, but now spelling??? on a friggin football talk site! please.. stop.. stick to content! The entirety of the guy's post history is calling "Branden" a scumbag and an "idiot." He mixes in "inept" once in awhile. He's a bona fide troll and a person who can't spell names right and yet calls others idiots shouldn't get a free pass. If he actually added some value around here you might have a valid case but this guy shouldn't be allowed to post here.

Anybody talking about being in a job for "a long time" is just spreading cow manure.

Those two are inept and the way they treated Hojo there both scumbags .
3rdand12 Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 (edited) So who thinks Buddy gives the keys to Whaley now? Nix could stay on as a scout or something. PTR only to park the car.lol Buddya has the best team assembled he could imagine and knows it. Let him gloat a bit. The encouraging point might be, he does give Doug driving lessons on the weekends Edited April 30, 2013 by 3rdand12
Beerball Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 You're not supposed to close a thread like this, you're supposed to leave it open so everyone can drop in and tell you they're sorry for doubting your word.
