Marrone was clearly upset about something. Had some choice language reporters could hear from sideline. Whaley threw up arms in response.

Marrone, Whaley, and Brandon having an animated conversation as Palmer, Manuel, Tuel warm up.

 

 

I'm wondering why these two are very upset at each other?

It's been reported EJ was Buddy's pick, his sort of swan song in that he wanted to get the BILLS a QB before he stepped down...I'm wondering now if Whaley truly feels saddled with this guy and essentially went all in on EJ hoping to manufacture confidence in the kid so he would perform better and now, feeling like the house of cards is falling down, he's panicking a bit and knows that EJ will make or break this season for the entire team...just a thought

I don't believe EJ was Buddy's pick. At all. It was pretty clear during HC interviews in late 2012/early 2013 that Nix was being pushed aside and the transition had began given Nix's comments about Marrone. No way would any pro organization allow the outgoing GM to pick the player who would most affect the future GM's performance.

All the reports and inside information I have read said Whaley picked EJ. Buddy picking EJ would be nonsense.

 

Whaley was the passenger in Alan Branch's car that fateful evening.

True story? That would be interesting

 

That's what this report says.

Perhaps Doug is less than thrilled about the QB situation. Swapping Thad for Palmer doesn't help in the short term whatsoever. All these guys have is short term. They are all going to be unemployed in 3 months.

Buddy by his own admission stated just after the Draft that he did not want to leave the team bereft of QB talent and he made it a point to make sure a QB was Drafted before he stepped down and became an "advisor"...I'm certainly not suggesting that Buddy had to push the pick on DW, I'm merely suggesting there may be some other aspects of the evaluation and choice process that we're not all privy to and that Buddy had a greater influence than is making it out to the general public....just a thought about "how much" Buddy had a say and what DW might be dealing with as a result....just curious, no reason for anyone to get their panties all twisted, just throwing an idea out there

More likely Marrone is yelling at Whaley for not getting him some decent OG's, or Whaley is yelling at Marrone for not coaching-up the guys he has.

Why couldn't they both have wanted him?

I doubt this is the case given his recent commentary on the performance of the backup QBs.

Maybe he wanted Tuel gone instead of Lewis?

If Whaley didn't agree with the pick or at least have confidence EJ was the guy he would have done something about it this off season. Like draft one, sign one.

 

Not buying it was Nix's pick alone. No way. Whaley had to agree.
