Kind of crazy it took this long for someone to match the stats with what many of us were ranting about with Marrone. What's especially insane is how much they let Orton throw on 1st down despite the fact he was much worse than Manuel.
Bummer.
John Murphy is terrible.
Whaley traded up for Watkins not Marrone and I'm fine with it. I agree the play calling and Nate Hackett were an issue, Spiller should have played more but could never really stay on the field, and Marrone's ego and paying attention to the media was a big problem. Buddy Nix took EJ and Whaley is a class act and won't throw him under the bus and saying they both took EJ.
yeah but there is no way that marone dident have a say in who they where picking as his players, to place it on nix and whaley is just ridiculous.
Even his username is misspelled. I assume he's a big Mark Brunell fantangfoot said:
Huh. I didn't realize Mike Florio was that much of a hack. I'll have to remember that.
If you want to be taken seriously (or even be read at all), have the self-respect to write properly. I see a post like yours and I imagine a 15-year old C student. You could very well be a professor of college literature, but you don't come across as someone that I should pay any attention to.
so we continue the point of your just a troll with no real opnion at the topic at hand? personal attacks on me are really helpfull! just keep on contributing! your doing great!
Okay, perhaps i was wrong about the watkins trade up. I never seen the article about him either storming out or walking out of the room because of the trade. so I admit i'm wrong there. but what about taking manuel? was i wrong about that? or his gross misusage of Spiller? wrong there too? and the last paragraph is clearly opinion, and its just that an opinion so it cant really be wrong. So everything i say isnt false, but let me guess you liked marone.
Yes again, wrong on both accounts. Buddy Nix was on record saying the Manuel move was all him and he wanted to have a quarterback attached to his resume on his way out. Spiller was misused but, Marrone's misused alot of players. Doesn't help when Spiller cough's and he gets hurt.
Why I sure can, and will do so for the future. Thank you very much for having a informitive reply rather then just being insulting.
I mean he's in a hot-tub with 15+ women, How much making fun of can we really do?
Sketchy McCoy and his women only, NDA signing, I'll-provide-the-clothing party? What's to discuss?
He has some serious axes to grind. He definitely leans towards the players in any conflict between players and management/owners, he consistently ridicules any religious players and he has a serious beef with Bills fans.
Well, don't count out how bad Clev's QB situation is. I'd say they are the bottom 2 for sure heading into the season. That really sucks to be honest. This team could be competitive, even playoff worthy, with just average QB. Hell, maybe even slightly below average.
It's kind of amazing that we managed to completely whiff on this position so many times. Partly it's a result of blowing it off and trying to just get by with warm bodies, but you'd think we would have stumbled onto someone serviceable by now just by pure luck.
How hard is it to get average QB play?
EJ is the only QB they've drafted in the last 7 years (besides 7th rounder Levi Brown). It's a joke how many times they've passed on the position.It's kind of amazing that we managed to completely whiff on this position so many times.

I've said this before, but they should be drafting at least a QB every year -- probably more -- until they hit on one. I understand that there's good value on the draft board at other positions, but you can't let yourself get into this kind of situation. This is easily a playoff team but for the guy under center.
I would think an NFL QB shouldn't be missing WRs by 8-15 yards in drills. That's not even close.
