Yeah, all season I've heard the absurd notion that passing yards aren't important, typically accompanied by some astoundingly flawed logic and cherrypicked stats. I'll give Tyrod this -- after we went down 34-7 he looked great.

Thanks for this thread. I needed this today.

Tyrod was hot garbage last night. This is such a classic TBD thread lol. If history holds true we should all be treated to a "What exactly is garbage time?" post sometime this week.

He's probably trying to get out of town after what he saw tonight.

Last few days? He hasn't gotten a sack in a month.

I'd say a more apt quote would be "Dumping Tyrod Taylor because you think you can do better is like hitting a soft 17 in blackjack." The book says you hit that every time, and most people don't understand why.

One player is on his rookie contract, the other player isn't.

Holmes' contribution going forward is not likely to increase after today, if anything it's going to go down. Deonte Thompson has marginalized him a bit as well. Davis is a rotational JAG that plays about 30 of the snaps. Oddly enough Ducasse has managed to become the starter and would be the biggest loss. I don't know if you were paying attention today, but we just obtained Kelvin Benjamin because of......drum roll..... a 3rd round pick. Think about it.

I can't see the Pats taking on a distraction. Green Bay? Miami?

Ajayi has looked terrible this year, doesn't have nearly the ferocity he has shown in the past. Maybe he's just checked out, guess we'll find out.

Possibly one less QB drafted early next year.

If that's the conversation then it's a pretty moronic one. Sadly, that's par for the course around here lately. Every future late round pick is not Tanner Vallejo, that's a ridiculous notion. We can't quantify the negative effect Dareus has on the locker room with numbers so it becomes easy to dismiss. Apathy and laziness are contagious, and I think this sends a fantastic message to the locker room - "We don't care about your contract, go hard every day or you're getting shipped out." What do you think the rest of the league was offering for him this offseason? Probably nothing or a 7th round conditional pick. This guy was one more missed meeting away from being outright cut.

An accurate summation of what's going on here.

Have you factored in his laziness or his attitude? Do you know how to beat cancer before it spreads? Early detection. From everything I read, they spent the entire offseason trying to unload this guy. His market value is clearly a 6th round pick. 2014 Dareus ain't comin' back.

We're not going to be paying a 6th round pick 8 figures either. You don't pay a guy that money to soak up blockers like a 0-tech NT and come off the field for 50% of the plays.

Their D is already on a pace to set an NFL record for sacks, if they can get him to play....yikes.

Surprised, I thought we'd have to give a pick away to get rid of that hideous contract. One pick earlier and we could have had a HOF pass rusher too

Released. I'll guess Oakland.

I wonder if the Watkins fans even realize they are now in their 4th year of making excuses for the guy? Time flies when you are cherrypicking stats and pointing blame, huh?

We've seen the cards before the season started. Well, some have.

Nothing shocking or surprising here, just an idiot videotaping himself......WTF A POSITION COACH IS GETTING $3M A YEAR?!?? The Dolphins FO needs drug testing.

He hasn't gotten rid of any quality players without replacing them. Try again.

The only thing this says is that W/L record is a team stat. Brees has proven that he can win a Lombardi if you give him a competent defense. There is no comparison between the two quarterbacks. This thread brings a lot of comedic potential, because you know someone is going to create a "I wonder where the professional TT lovers are now?" thread the next time he puts up a stinker.

Beating the 1-3 Bengals is more impressive than beating a team that went to the SB last year? Yeah, not buying that.

Yup.
