Maybe they don't have a DE need and have a lot of salary tied up on the D-line already. Maybe.

I would probably cry.

Nope, he's not. Another praised player goes down.

Just make out already, you've been dancing for months.

The only way he won't be overpaid now is if we win the Super Bowl.

What position would Rey play in Rex's system?

The difference is its not same ground retread over and over in an unsuccessful attempt to be funny.

We didn't win our division.

Is this gonna be the new horse to beat? Between these jokes and the Marrone jokes, the corpse of Pryor is rolling over.

I didn't mean to imply that he couldn't improve, only that I didn't consider any aspect of his play excellent last season. Hopefully he improves, especially in pass blocking, but sometimes players are what they are. Even our very own bandit opined that Miller has a low ceiling. Seantrel's improvement for instance has not been something to write home about.

I wouldn't call anything Miller did last season "excellent." I agree on the whole. We have a below average RT and RG and every other position is good. That's about all you can hope for in today's NFL barring luck like Dallas.

I thought you were trying to say they have a better chance of making the playoffs because they draft so high. I had to be sure.

Where are they drafting? What does that even mean?

How much different was a Jauron win from the Dallas and Tennesee games this year?

If your definition of "reasonable" is to run when anyone challenges your narrative, then maybe not.

How could you bench this guy? What a positive impact he had on his team.

Agree. Denver with a two year window is better off rolling with Fitzy at a possibly cheaper price. They just won a Superbowl with a corpse. No need to overpay for a QB.

None of them Bills.

Just trying to have a reasonable discussion.

White flag. Mean what you say and say what you mean.

Benching the highest paid player on the team for being a malcontent might lead to more internal unrest: It's fine if you don't see how that's possible. That doesn't make it impossible. I don't know how to explain it to you. Haha, no. That's not what you said. "Million-man-Mario is throwing a pity party and bringing down the locker room so what good would benching him do? Seems like it would only exacerbate the problem" Huge difference between "may have negative repercussions" and "would only exacerbate the problem." Funny how you attempted to chastise me for not seeing the (small) potential negatives, when the potential positives weren't even possible in your original post. Also, I'm not sure we share a reality wherein "half" the team was "boiling" over "Mario's" antics. I think each of the three quoted terms are highly debatable. So if your premise rests there...I can't help you. Clearly Ty Dunne's article shows that members of the team were unhappy with the way Mario acted. Per usual, you attack semantics vs. the argument. Mario's antics upset players in the locker room who proceeded to vocalize that. I think it's fair to say there were more players unhappy with Mario than pleased with his behavior. Feel free to argue otherwise. 1. It could have some negative repercussions, okay. Weigh the positives and negatives. IMO, the positives of benching Mario outweigh the negatives. By about 1000% (quick, hammer me on how "debatable" that number is). Thus, Rex's response was the wrong one, even with some debatable reasons If the reasons for doing something outweigh the reasons to not do something, the former is the correct move. That's just logic. 2. Direct contradiction of your original post, but I'll dive in. I don't see how showing players you won't tolerate QUITTING ON YOUR TEAM could ever been a net negative. Look at all the educated folks, yourself included, who have killed Mario for quitting. It's the biggest sin in any sort of team environment. It ruins everything. You can't trust that teammate, you can't believe in them, etc etc. And yet, punishing that behavior could be worse than letting it fester? On what grounds? Explain it. Go in-depth. Walk me through how benching Mario hurts the psyche of the team, piece by piece. 3. This is barely worth it as a point. I'll just point to the above and ask if you the majority of Bills players, in your opinion, were happy or angry with Mario's antics. Fire away. Don't tell me it's arguable, argue it 4. Which scenario is more likely? Which has more of a benefit, playing with 10 guys who are "motivated" by the quitter sharing the field with them (I find this scenario to be a terrible stretch) or playing with 11 guys, none of whom are quitting in front of each other? I don't understand because it makes no logical sense. By virtue of believing the solution to the Mario "problem" is cutting him, thus eliminating him from the field in 2016, how is eliminating him from the field in 2015 any less of a solution? Clearly, there are potential negatives in both scenarios, but you believe they outweigh the benefits in one year, but don't in the next. Again, rectify those situations.

Ya'll getting #scooped.

Exactly. As loathe as I am to draw this comparison because of the heat it will bring, I don't think Marrone allows Mario to last 2 weeks acting the way he did. His other coaching faults aside, Marrone was benching players for sulking in practice or making anti-team comments to the media. No chance he allows this gross lack of accountability.
