A lot of the media are talking like McDermott is running the whole show in general. The guy is good but I don't think he's the wunderkind that you want controlling every aspect of your team.

He didn't give lucrative extensions to marginal white defensive players over Jabari Greer and he didn't draft Aaron Maybin. Not sure about giving McDermott complete control, but whatever. At least they're trying.

You're probably right, but I like what I've seen so far, and it probably won't be any worse than the clown show that this franchise has been for the last 17+ years

Panthers Brandon beane will likely be tapped to replace Whaley. Panthers might give him a raise to keep him.

Someone remind me what the Bills did in free agency this year if anything? They didn't cut Tyrod at least. I'd assume this decision was made a long time ago so I'm wondering what Whaley did between when they decided to fire him and when they actually fired him.

According to some Boston TV station Aaron Hernandez didn't have any drugs in his system when he died. So I guess the spice rumor was bullshit if that's correct.

Yeah Belichick is pretty drat good at adapting his gameplan to the strengths of his RB's. I still think they gave up a year early on Blount but he always does.

One of those scouts was just hired 3 months or so ago. Packed up his whole family from Louisiana to move to Buffalo. What a lovely thing.

Why wait until the day after the draft to fire the dude and everyone responsible for it, was it something to do with free agency and bad timing?

They put it as "it was the end of the scouting season". Theoretically they didn't want Bills opponents to about the much coveted Whaley intel. I think probably, though, they originally planned on giving Whaley at least one more year until McDermott entered the picture. McD really won over ownership and convinced them that Whaley was bad at his job (see the hubbub around Taylor, Tyrod). National media outlets labeling Whaley as the worst GM in e league probably didn't help his case.

Whaley was a good scout but bad manager but did some good trades. He traded Kiko for McCoy He traded a lovely LB for Jerry Hughes He's grabbed some good guys off the street. But then there was the Watkins pick. The pushing for EJ. The fact that the entire 2013(?) draft is gone He also wasn't managing the cap, they need to fire that guy too (Overdorf), so he was a half manager? He's awkward and weird.

Everyone should really keep in mind that Doug Whaley was pushing the EJ Manuel Reclamation Project as recently as Week 17 of the 2016 season
