Yes, Kap...this country oppresses black people so much, we elected one to be it's president.
Twice.
Freaking idiot.
the two really aren't related at all.

Thought the rule was that if you succesfully claim someone on waivers, you go to the bottom of the list?
Nope, ranking are based on standings, regardless of how many claims.

As of right now the Redskins RB depth chart is: Matt Jones, Chris Thompson, Keith Marshall and Mack Brown. That's kind of my answer. What do they have to lose (as an example)? They bring him in and spend the month trying to get him ready. If he slips up they cut him (and can no doubt add someone like Mack Brown back). If he gets in shape and gets his stuff together he at worst splits carries with Jones. They have nothing to lose.
I've read that the Bills were the only team to even consider drafting Karlos, not because of ability, but because of the type of person he was. I can't imagine anything Karlos has done recently would change their opinion of him.

Scott Chandler, Chris Hogan, Doug Flutie, Sam Aiken, Antowain Smith, Donald Jones, Chris White, Alan Branch, off the top of my head. Now what?
i believe the point was, how many of them have excelled, which is what we hear all the time. They'll go to NE and do great, not to mention steal our playbook. Antowain did very well, that's really it.
Chris White was off the top of your head? that's pretty impressive. I had to look up who he was.

Yes, absolutely I do. My point is the Pack worked Lacy in preseason last year then played him, at the weight where we just can't let Karlos work. I'm not saying Lacy did well at that weight, just pointing out one team can keep, practice, and play a guy at that weight (because he had a record of success with them) while we have to get out the snippers immediately, only a few days after telling the world "we won't give up on him"
Maybe Lacy's head was in it while Karlos was all "I just don't care". Or maybe there's more to it.
All the above is true, but I'm not sure it's relevant, except the "back to back 1100+ seasons". Lacy is the bell-cow for the Pack's run game, Williams is the reliever, so less important to the team. But Williams played well and contributed to the Bills last year, and IMO what a guy did in college and where he was drafted is and should be less relevant to a team once he's shown he can play in the league.
The Pack stuck with Lacy and early indicators are he got his sh** together so it paid off. The point I'm making is the Bills were all unfazed stick with Williams, "not giving up" after the suspension and weight. And there doesn't seem to be any particular driver - no need to cut down the roster. The timing is just strange to me to make it a performance issue. If you're not giving up on the guy why not change his eating regimen, put him on a different training program, and let him stick around and try to shape up?
It was only a 5th round pick, but a draft pick is an investment, and we did invest in him both a pick and coaching time/training. Why burn our investment at this point, if it's truly a performance issue and not due to a new infraction/stupidity?
I think KD in Ca said it best, they are not the same people, it's not the same situation at all. Apples and oranges, oversized apples and oranges at that.

Well, for a contrasting viewpoint to the several posts taking this view.....consider Bready Lazy, I mean Eddie Lacy. I believe he acknowledged that he played at 260 lbs last year. He's listed by the Pack at 234. So he showed up essentially at the same weight as Karlos. Yet he had a good preseason, and they kept him on the roster all season, amidst mounting criticism for his performance, It wasn't until the end of the season that the pack gave a publicized ultimatum to Lacy to "shape up or ship out".
Allegedly during the off-season, Lacy lost 15-18 lbs, not the 26 lbs he needed to get to that listed weight. Some people feel he may not have lost much weight at all. But, he's apparently shaped up through a rigorous off-season program and is looking good. So he's still there, "lucky tummy" and all.
I would think that a professional-quality trainer could put a lot of fitness into a guy in 7-8 weeks. And I'd like to understand why, if Bready Lazy can take carries for the Pack at 260+, KrayKray Karlos can not?
I tend to think there's more to the story than just "performance" or "information". But that's just me.
You do realize Lacy had a very poor year and was benched as starter later in the season.

I agree. Tasker is rank!
Wait, What?!
the fact that tasker still has a job is just amazing. He is horrible.
Simms says some of the most ridiculous comments each week.

Before I say this I just want to say it my own personal opinion, ok dareus goes to rehab is it just to take the heat off because he's suspended anyway might as well go, and these rehabs facilities are lot different than someone who doesn't have money we all know the bills organization is behind this, I just don't think marcell really gets it if you looked at his apology it was all show.
Let's also not forget that he did this 6 month 'drug intervention' after his last drug screwup. I don't know the truth here, but it sounds like a bit of a PR move.
-
Yeah the Bills don't normally scapegoat people do they?
That's my theory though. Right before the preseason game?
true. which is why it's safe to think something else pretty serious is at play. this is a huge move for being fat, high, and suspended.
Fat , drunk and stupid is no way to go through life.
-
back in the '60s and '70s....not anymore....have to come in ready to play from the start
what he said
-
Something must have happened today. I'm surprised they let him go a few hours before a preseason game
He probably never made it to the stadium or was late.
this BETTER be over something serious, and not some Bulls#&t scape-goat decision... Can't cut Dareus for getting busted every year.... Can't keep your best players healthy.... Can't coach well enough to stop guys from jumping off sides.... Let's fire the fat kid.
I'm guessing that's a safe bet.
-
your 100% right. So why bother changing the sign out front?
Ralph named the stadium after himself because after The Rich naming rights expired he didn't have any takers for the rights thy made it worth it.
To my knowledge, Ralph used the naming rights in his own name as a tax right off and donated that money every year I believe. Could be wrong about that hit I heard that before.
because they still paid for the naming rights.

The crap people get worked up about just amazes me sometimes.
-
if people didn't look at it, they wouldn't put anything there.
not really, it's more the mention it gets during games that is the payoff.
-
name isn't the issue. The cheap overnight signage is.
how often do people really look at that signage? And do they just sit and stare at it?
It's not a big deal to me.
-
preach.
I believe this why they are getting injured more often because they just aren't physically prepared to play at high intensity levels
so what about players that get hurt late in the season? They been pounding on each other for 14 weeks and then get hurt. Like Whaley said and got crap for it, our bodies are not meant to play football. To not expect all sorts of injury is just ridiculous.
-
Don't see how he fits after the 4 game Karlos suspension besides punt return. We have Shady, Karlos, Gilleslee showed a ton of promise, J Will was a 5th rounder so you expect him to make the team despite the DUI, James Wilder was the #1 HS player in the country at one point and I think he's going to light it up in preseason. Also have Felton and baby Gronkowski at FB. Way too many bodies and not enough carries to go around. Would rather have Fred for 4 games then let him retire a Bill
I'm not sure what to expect from Karlos, first off, he is not even in training camp shape let alone game shape. I wouldn't expect him to hit the ground running in week 5. Gilleslee had a few great runs, but most carries for no yards, can't count on him for anything yet. Everyone else is unproven. We can't take chances on the RB position, it's too vital to the teams success. Bush seems like a safer bet short term than anyone else right now, training camp may change things, but for now it's the smart move.
-
That's fair. I'm just talking a 4 year timespan though. Though they might have been more dominant in 4 years anyway.
They had 2 4 year spans in those 6 years with 2 Super Bowl wins(does that make sense?)
-
That was the most dominant 4 years an AFC team had ever been in the Super Bowl era.
I would put the Steelers of the 70's ahead of the Bills. 4 Championships in 6 years.
-
I would think that to be considered a dynasty, at least one championship should have been won, more likely 2 or 3.
-
I said they don't want to...not that they can't
I'm not kidding....I smoked in high school and college.....I stopped smoking years ago......I have a good job, nice home, new car.........lotsa money.....
you smoked in grammar school too, don't forget that. I was there.

I guess I have to say, "Yes, seriously"...if you're going to criticize, how about you make a cogent argument for your reason rather than just, "Seriously?"....
To hazard a guess, I'm thinking you don't like the two years fully guaranteed suggestion? And why? EJ is gone after this year, maybe even after camp, and you're going to need a competent back-up - assuming he doesn't rise to the Starter's job at some point, so why would it be "seriously"? As for 4 years, he's only 27, just turned 27 in January, so why is that an automatic "seriously?"...? Elaborate please.
Because he hasn't been very good for the last 2 years. One strong year in his career 3 seasons ago. I may be wrong, but it seems a lot to give someone like him, and you haven't mentioned dollars and that would be a big factor. If we sign him, do we keep 4 QB's on the active roster? Cut EJ now? Sorry for the short 'seriously' comment , but that was my initial reaction.

I would think Foles' release and FA availability makes this extension improbable, IF the BILLS are as interested in Foles as being reported. That would be investing a great deal of money into two players that can only play one position. I would also think, if the BILLS gave Tyrod a big deal before signing him it would signal that the BILLS really only see Foles as a back-up, instead of a "possible" starter. I think getting Foles to Buffalo could be a stretch for the immediately aforementioned reason, but Tyrod being on just a one year deal currently, makes it at least a reasonable consideration. I would sell Foles on the idea that he could come in and learn the Offense, without pressure to be the #1 guy, and an opportunity to be the future if he proves himself and then offer him a 4 year deal with two years fully guaranteed.
Seriously?
-
Fitz now makes 4 times what TT will make in 2016. Something's wrong with that.
But Fitz only has a 1 year deal, Tyrod will get a much better contract than Fitz soon enough.

We should all do , think and say the same thing. Do what our leaders tell us and not question anything. Maybe we could wear brown uniforms with swastika armbands too!
