[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 571179"] Whaley is looking like one of the best young GMs in the league. He let Byrd and the inconistent Stevie Johnson go in free agency, two home grown play makers. He signed Brandon Spikes for a modest price in free agency to shore up the run D. He traded up 5 spots in the last draft to take Sammy Watkins at the cost of next years 1st. and 4th. round picks. These are the kinds of moves Thompson eschews. Yet these moves are paying immediate dividends...for less money. The LB crew has shown to be a cohesive and effective group with Spikes at the core despite losing Alonzo to an ACL. Watkins is the real deal...quickness, separation off the break, routes, hands. Whaley also brought in the tarnished Jim Schwartz to replace DC Pettine who went on to HC at Cleveland. While not up to the task of managing the NFL's version of a work release program in Detroit, he's pulling together the pieces in Buffalo quite well. Again, could anybody envision Thompson hiring a guy like Schwartz? If Manual can get it together in the red zone and continue to protect the ball, this team can get to the playoffs...dare I say win the division among a group of teams with notable weaknesses. All the pieces are there...except the open book on Manual as a consistently effective QB. Let's see how they do against San Diego on Sunday...a compare and contrast to SEA's D work against SD last week. I think Buffalo will fare well in that comparison. [/QUOTE]
