Last week Chis posted this approval poll article for GM Doug Whaley. To my surprise, Whaley received a 72% approval rating among fans on this site. This was a surprise to me because both he and head coach Rex Ryan were on the proverbial hot seat after the team lost two winnable games against AFC opponents. Ryan, the obvious target of fans due to his position as the team head coach, was joined by Whaley the team orchestrator.
Despite the 72% approval rating, Whaley has gotten major criticism which I never understood. I look at his tenure here over the past several years, and I can honestly say that the team has more talent on the roster than anytime during the 16-year drought; yet there are still fans out there who are displeased with the job he's doing, as if he's the reason for the team struggles.
