Nklaiste1 Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 (edited) They are good people but they seem pretty bad at running a football team. First of all they keep Doug Whaley as GM (which a lot of people thought he should have been gone) Ok fine... Then it's reported that Whaley wants a new QB, and Mcdermott wants to keep Taylor... AND ownership ends up siding with the coach over the GM? How do you keep a GM and then not even listen to him? This is just baffling... winning teams don't operate like this.

Think they are doing a good job. Rex was a mistake.
Woodman19 Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 Maybe, its too early to tell. But at least with the Pegulas they are still in Buffalo.

When you are an owner that wants to meddle you want a weak GM. And then the coach can play GM too like last year when we spent three picks on in inside linebacker to save Rex's defense. You are right, this team is a mess and this news is confirmation that we are in for a tough couple of years. Edited March 8, 2017 by jeffismagic

Sports "reporting" is rife with garbage.

Whaley is really not the GM. It seems like it's a voting system with the Pegulas, McDermott, Brandon and Whaley on player personnel. Where I come from the GM has the final say and then coaches decide who they put on the field.
KHAN Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 (edited) The reporting has been comically inaccurate. Taking just the things that fit your narrative as "truth" makes your motives pretty clear. Iron Clad Innuendo. Edited March 8, 2017 by KHAN

This is just baffling... winning teams don't operate like this. you have no idea that Whaley didn't want Tyrod, reports are only guesses by people who think they are journalists but are actually gossip producers. The fact they kept Whaley because a few gossipers think he should be gone is hardly reason to make this kind of conclusion.

Perhaps, just maybe, they were all in consensus? That A. Tony Romo is being released, not traded and therefore not an option for BUF. That B. Tyrod is probably a better option than any FA available , and could be restructured to a more cap friendly deal. C. That a QB will be drafted as a future replacement as Tyrods deal is year to year after 2018. Nothing to see here, but believe what you want.

Where I come from the GM has the final say and then coaches decide who they put on the field. Yes, I forgot to add the marketing department and Brandon. The owners feel more powerful in this setup as everyone has to come to them. But this setup guarantees football decisions are not being made correctly.
Estelle Getty Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 Not sure why your getting so much heat. Your right they have been bad owners in the sense they can't put a winning product on the field or the ice.

Cuz this is just an uninformed post...they are NEW owners,not BAD ones.They haven't had a chance to be bad yet...c'mon people,this is silly talk
Heitz Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 Mods, can we move this to the Two Bills Drive Hot Takes board?
