Marrone tweet

[kmart128]

You guys act like Doug Marrone is calling the shots on draft day... he has his input but the decisions rest solely with Buddy Nix the Buffalo GM. It was Buddy's decision to take Manuel over Nassib not Doug's.

 

[TheCusian]

Honestly, if Nassib had Austin and Bailey - he'd be drafted already.

 

[OrangePA]

The question should be, "Are Kourtney's real and legit?"

Not sure, but I betcha that even Bruce Jenner has had some work done. Same doc that 'did' Jerry Jones.

Bruce Jenner has had extensive work done- not good.

I love this thread if only because I now know for certain who in here is ed and/or has no clue how NFL football works.

Some of the opinions in here are so misguided it's criminal.

Has it occurred to anyone that few teams are taking QBs because most - if not all - addressed their QB situation before the draft and would rather use their higher picks for other positions???

Cardinals, Raiders and Chiefs all got QBs prior to draft.

Jets waited 'til 2nd round to get a guy many had graded as 1st round talent.

Bucs waited 'til 3rd to get a guy they saw as good competition for Freeman.

Who else LEGITIMATELY needs a QB this year?

Maybe the Eagles, but since they have Vick, they can wait. Especially with a much better QB class projected for next year's draft.

Not selecting Nassib aint personal... It's business.

And they way many of you are acting is EXACTLY why it's best that the Bills did not select Nassib.

With all this bitching, it's clear Marrone would have been damned if he did and damned if he didn't.

You act like you know more than the guys who spend 80+ hours a week on this and you don't.

“I’m extremely surprised,” said Marrone. ”I think the world of Ryan. He has a strong work ethic. He’s a tough kid with a very good arm and I think he’ll be a great addition to whatever team selects him. He has the skill set to be successful. I wish him the best of luck. I think he’ll be successful in this league and I really believe a team will select him soon.”

The only way I think he screwed over Ryan was by not saying this on Mike and Mike. No way I thought he should pick Ryan out of loyalty but not picking him begs the question and this is the answer. I thought he was classless for not saying this when he was asked about Ryan on Mike and Mike.

But like someone said, better late than never.

Exactly my feelings.

Ugh. Really? If you take off your Orange fan glasses and think back to what you saw on the field...do you believe Ryan Nassib is a better QB than Geno Smith? Trust me, I want to believe Nassib is the better QB...but there is no way what I saw from Nassib was better than what I saw from Geno Smith or Matt Barkley.

So to have people being all frustrated for Marrone not taking Nassib is pretty ridiculous. And BTW...Nassib did not Geno Smith. Our defense dominated WVU.

Why would Buffalo take 2 QB's? Because Marrone was his coach?

Nassib did not have Tavon Austion or Stedman Bailey.

Nassib did not play in the Big 12 which plays absolutely no defense with exception to TCU. The Big 12 is ALL offense.

Nassib also didn't fumble the ball nearly as many times as Smith.

He faced top defenses in Uconn, Pitt and UL and succeeded. Geno faces a good Syracuse defense and crumbles. The whole nation rallies behind his loss and says its because of snow...

Rather contribute than aimlessly criticize.

I saw OK QB's throwing to 1st round talent. Nassib outplayed them both with lesser weapons over and over again.

I don't think the Bills should take him. He'll sit behind someone for a year or two somewhere else and end up better than both.

They are all OK QB's. None of them are great QB's. Doesn't mean they can't become serviceable players, but none of them are sure-fire NFL types. Has everyone forgotten about Ryan's deep ball?

He threw less picks. Look, I hope Ryan does great in the NFL. It benefits...SU. But I'm not going to get on Marrone for not picking him. That's ridiculous.

I don't think he did. I think the fact that Nassib dominated the #1 prospect three years in a row and in a bowl game on the national stage, dominated bridgewater (a top 5 pick next year), and rewrote SU's passing records should have been enough for him to go in the first 3 rounds. Or at least justify Buffalo taking him in one of there second round picks.

Wait a second, I didn't know Nassib was covering the WVU and Louisville WRs and pressuring/sacking Smith and Bridgewater. Had the Bills known he was doing those things in addition to running the offense they surely would have drafted him!

When looking against performances against top 25 defenses not teams, defenses.. Nassib out performed Geno Smith in nearly every aspect of the game.

Marrone went so far as to admit that Nassib’s fate as well as that of Syracuse S Shamarko Thomas pained him.

“You look at it and you’re coming from a team with players that you recruited,” said Marrone. ”There are still some players that are on the board. You love those kids and you love what they’ve done for you. There are great qualities. Prior to taking this job I’ve talked to multiple teams in the league about those players. I’ve had nothing but great things to say about all of them.

“Shamarko Thomas is still out there. It is difficult because you care about those players. You have feelings for those players. Those players helped me get me where I am right now and we’ve been through a lot. Human nature you take a job and you do what you have to do. You do what’s best for the organization that you’re at. At the same time the human side, the feelings that you have. It’s hard, but you’re making decisions for what’s best for your organization. I would be remiss if I didn’t tell you that it does hurt. That’s the human side of it.”

i highly doubt Marrone wasn't even consulted when they decided to take a safety from Nevada over Shamarko in the 4th round. Mind you most people had Shark as the best available safety at the time of the selection.
