FireChan Posted November 3, 2015 Author Posted November 3, 2015 Ummm. Thought I kept reading that the Pegu Las interviewed and hired Rex?! Whaley was on board with the hire. Do you think Pegs still hires Rex if Whaley is against it?

LIBILLS25 Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 He owns the team. However, Terry and Kim should realize they aren't football people, and their personal opinions don't hold much weight. Yes, just as we realize that your personal opinion doesn't hold much weight on this board.
nucci Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 I don't want whaley touching this team, making desperate moves while he is currently under the "lame duck" GM title. Lame duck...where are you getting this?
MDH Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Whaley was on board with the hire. Do you think Pegs still hires Rex if Whaley is against it? But your original post had to do with Whaley being asleep at the wheel in terms of improving the team before the trade deadline. This, to me, suggests that you believe that talent deficiency is the issue. Somewhere along the line you've made it about the Rex hire. What does Whaley being "asleep at the wheel" and not pursuing players via trade have to do with Rex? Do you really want him to mortgage the future if you have such little faith that Rex will get the most out of the players brought in?

Fadingpain Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 What is dead wrong for 1,000, Alex. "I'll take Drinking the Kool-Aid for 500, Alex," exclaimed Ryan L Billz. So, let me get this straight...Rex Ryan should be fired for having all this talent on the team and only a 3-4 record. AND Whaley should be fired for not getting enough talent on our roster. Interesting. Rex gets fired for not doing enough with all the talent Whaley has supplied him and Whaley gets fired for not having enough talent on the team. This is just too funny. No, Whaley gets fired for royally botching the QB situation over a period of years and then following it up with the Watkins debacle. Rex gets fired for being a clown. It's just that simple.
MDH Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Oh, that was a joke. You know, I thought it was sarcastic when I first read it but you kept chiming in during the thread in support of the "fire Whaley" idea I figured it wasn't a joke.

That was just a little bump," said Mark80. "Don't you know, the Titanic is the strongest ship in the world and it has been designed to be unsinkable! I am surrounded by fools!" Meanwhile, the particularly clever ones, not named Mark80, head for the nearest life boat. (Just messing with you Mark80! No offense meant!)

I'm sorry, but there's no "royal botching" of the QB situation. He's been GM through 3 drafts (if we're counting 2013), and in those 3 drafts he (a) drafted a QB in the first round that didn't work out (not one QB from that draft did), (b) invested heavily in getting that QB weapons, and brought in an experienced backup that ended up with a 7-5 record last year, and © acquired a FA that looks like a decent stopgap at the position until they can draft a QB of the future prospect. The only arguable misfire is that he could've traded up for Carr or Bridgewater and chose not to, but that's a bit nitpicky considering that his rookie QB looked like he had potential in his first 10 starts.

John from Riverside Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 lol one topic is a crusade? Some of you folks need to find new buzz words. Chan....you were going off in the chat box about this just the other day....yes you are crusading.

He headed into last year with EJ as the man, then started a literally retired QB who wasn't on the roster for training camp for all but 3 of the games. This year, Options A and B, in no particular order, were EJ and Matt Kassel, but for Rex's guy in Tyrod Taylor, who ended up being the starter and clearly, by any measure, the best of the 3. Other than this, you're right, Whaley has had a firm grasp on the QB situation.

I am guessing the entire concept of metaphor is not your cup of tea. You were never much for that fancy book learnin', were ya? (Just joking; hang in there buddy!)

PromoTheRobot Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) I dont really care what the numbers throughout the league look like... the point is Pegula had zero experience when he made this decision, and approval should have been required from Whaley. WTF? You are talking out your bunghole, son. There isn't a single owner in any sport who isn't directly involved with hiring a head coach. And not since the days of George Halas and Al Davis has there been a football experienced owner. Edited November 3, 2015 by PromoTheRobot
