BEAST MODE BABY! Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 Whaley is fantastic. I don't know what all you people are whining about. For two years in a row, the Patriots signed away one of our players. That should tell you something. Failure to address QB? Half the damn teams in the NFL have a QB problem. Finding a franchise QB isn't easy, and we now have Tyrod. Yeah, EJ didn't pan out. But we got an extra draft pick for moving back. Buddy should have drafted Russell Wilson, but didn't. That's been the biggest mistake in recent years. The talent level on this team is so much better than it has been. Our FA signings have been pretty damn good. And out drafting has gotten better. Not perfect, but we have a lot of talent. Now we just need to win.
george c Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 You are what your record says you are. Whaley is an 8-8 GM Not good enough...
BuffAlone Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 Murphy and Brown are the two ultimate Bills' shills. Whaley and his failure to address QB, and his lousy draft history.? LOL Not to mention his terrible contract signings (i.e., Dareus), that always put Team Mediocrity up against the salary cap.he did address QB. I've not seen a "lousy" draft yet. Not stellar,but lousy? Dareus contract would be just fine,if he'd not be lazy n smoking pot. TT contract while seemingly bad,was reworked to suite the team. That's not horrible. And he does seem to land quality guys in FA. I'd agree,he's better than given credit for. Still room for improvement tho

I get the beef about Wilson, but of all the QBs the Bills could have drafted over the years, would you have trusted guys like Jauron or Gailey or Marrone or Rex to have hired someone to coach them up? That is the sticking point with me.

schoolhouserock Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 I actually overall think Whaley has made the team better, but his praise should be in direct correlation with the team's W/L record. This is where I'm at as well. Praise (and condemnation) has got to be tied to wins and losses.

jeffismagic Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 I'll give Whaley credit for assembling the best 6 and 10 team of all time. Bills 2017, get ready we're going. Without the pool tables.
Rigotz Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 (edited) Why does Chris Brown still have a job?He's an obvious tool of the organization and his fanboy spin of literally every article is completely transparent.There's no objectivity. He never breaks stories. His content isn't interesting.I'll answer my own question. He still has a job because the Bills organization thinks we're dumb enough to believe the spin ...and they're so out of touch that they don't realize we write off every one of his articles and opinions.

PromoTheRobot Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 I think Whaley has been one of the better Bills GMs. He's made many good moves. But people needs scapegoats. The Bills would have made the playoffs last year if the D wasn't mishandled by Rex and Co.

Not perfect, but we have a lot of talent. Now we just need to win. DW has built a top heavy roster with major holes at WR, CB, RT and possibly LB. Whaley has sold out the last few years by putting the Bills to the cap and trading up in drafts only to get to .500. His cap management is atrocious. His drafts have been mediocre at best, has trouble getting along with coaches, and lacks leadership and communication skills. Compared to Marv Levy and Russ Brandon, DW looks pretty good, but that is setting the bar low. Whaley is a good scout especially on the defensive side of the ball, but is simply overmatched as a GM. Pegula should have made a change when Rex was fired. Edited March 10, 2017 by b2henning
BillsfanAZ Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 I think Whaley has added talent to the roster. The biggest question mark was moving up for Watkins and without him being healthy it is looking like a bad move eventhough I was good with it at the time. I think Rex ruined the defense which killed some wins.

JM2009 Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 Whaley has always been good at pro personnel evaluation. His drafting and QB evaluations are a different story. This. and the cap problems.
Best Player Available Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 Whaley gets too much credit around here. IMO
TheElectricCompany Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 You are what your record says you are. He's a middle of the road GM.
par73 Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 We have 0 2013 drafted players on our roster. We're gonna have maybe 1 or 2 from 2014. Right-- and no first rounder in 2015. Last year, Lawson was picked first, despite the fact his arm was falling off. QB situation? They signed Taylor, who was Ryan's guy. Other than that-- nothing in the draft other than ultra-raw C. Jones.
wppete Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 Chris Brown works for the Bills and Whaley. True Bills fans know he is told what to say. He is not a reporter.
BillsFan130 Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 I think Whaley has been one of the better Bills GMs. He's made many good moves. But people needs scapegoats. The Bills would have made the playoffs last year if the D wasn't mishandled by Rex and Co. Fair point, but Whaley fails to hit on draft picks most of the time and the bills are right up against the cap without having a franchise QB. The bills also have bad depth, and that is a result of missing on your mid to late rounds picks time after time. You are right in saying he has made good moves, but overall I think he is a below average GM
bradjames24 Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 I haven't posted on here in years! Now that BB Message board was shut down I'm happy to be back. Anyway, Chris Brown is brutal.
