Message: [QUOTE="KingOtis, post: 635249, member: 1599"] There's nothing wrong with Marrone taking the Bills job or selecting Manuel over Nassib. There is something wrong with the way he chose to go about it. We've talked about the Bills job ad nauseum. In the case of Manuel and Nassib, Marrone wasn't the first coach to pass on his own quarterback. The Titans took Vince Young over Matt Leinart, even though Leinart's OC, Norm Chow, was the new OC in Tennessee (and Jeff Fisher is a USC alum). So that's not the issue. The issue is that Marrone used Nassib as a smokescreen. And drafting Manuel, in turn, hurt Nassib's draft stock. So once again, Marrone could have been more up front about his intentions. If you want to argue that his interests are now with the Bills and not Syracuse, that's fine. You're absolutely right. But that doesn't mean fans shouldn't take exception with Marrone's behavior. Our interests remain with Syracuse. [/QUOTE]
