ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- One of the most memorable comments made by Doug Whaley during his four-year tenure (2013-17) as Buffalo Bills general manager came during 2015 training camp when describing the team's quarterback situation.
Whaley said the Bills were "almost in quarterback purgatory" because they did not have a franchise quarterback -- they entered camp that year with a three-way competition between Tyrod Taylor, Matt Cassel and EJ Manuel -- and did not project to pick high enough in the draft to select one of the top prospects at the position.
