Guess I caused a stir with that comment.
Rex has nothing to do with personnel. That was Whaley. In fact, Rex has nothing to do with the offense at all. He will let Roman run things on offense and Rex will run the defense. That's how Rex has always done things. Rex has done nothing as of yet except give some speeches
The original poster said "Rex is here, he brought some great talent" ... so argue with him, not me.

Johnny Manziel - Vikings
Jadeveon Clowney - Texans
Blake Bortles - Titans
Khalil Mack - Jaguars
Mike Evans - Tampa Bay Bucs
Also, I want to say I think the Bills will take Martin
-
He's suspended the first 4 games of 2014, but man, Browner is a beast
That basically means the NFL will make sure we don't play them until week 5.

Stevie Johnson .. and I'm going to freak out like crazy when it happens.

What do the Da'Rick supporters want?
You want Marrone to resign?
No
Whaley to apologize to Rogers?
Hell No
You want a public statement assuming complete responsibility for cutting a player that has gone on to catch a few passes from Andrew Luck?
.. .. I'd settle for some short under his breath statement from Marrone saying Da'Rick may be better than he thought.
You want the GM to state that "Because of the Da'Rick situation, were are re-evaluating all aspects of the way we evaluate talent"?
I hope that the GM had no say at all in Da'Rick getting cut. Coaches better be able to keep/cut the players they think can win the most games.
What do you want?
I want everyone from here on forth and forever to stop saying the words "character issues" and "Da'Rick Rogers" in the same sentence. Unless of course Da'Rick does something in his NFL career that were to indicate he has anything even close to resembling character issues. I want the world to stop stringing this guy up as some sort of hellboy trouble-maker because he smoked a little weed as a kid in his second year of college. If anyone ever brings up his failed drug tests they must immediately acknowledge the two years straight after that where he passed every single drug test.

What a 1 catch highlight reel? What else do you got? lol
And yea TJ beat him out. Not to mention Rogers 14 receptions Graham 23.
You guys must think the coaches want to loose.
TJ Graham has 16 games played, Da'Rick had 5 games played. But please where is TJ Grahams even one highlight reel catch?
-
With all due respect, 26, that is absurd. Marrone and staff have commitments to the short view, middle view, AND long view. But none of that mattered in Rogers' case. He failed to make the team. Perhaps Rogers should have had more appreciation for his own short term.
You seem to be blaming Rogers getting cut on Da'Rick Rogers himself.
The rest of us are blaming it on the coaches. We are saying the coaches made the mistake. Marrone, Hackett, and Hilliard are the guys who screwed up, not Da'Rick Rogers.
-
I feel Da'Rick was cut, not based on ability, but for reasons we can only speculate on.
My speculation on the reason: The coaches were stupid enough to think TJ Graham would be a good WR that they should keep on the roster.
Should have frickin cut TJ Graham,
-
Don't know if anyone posted this already but Marrone getting rid of talented players is nothing new. He preached accountability at Syracuse as well. He booted his best WR (TB'S Mike Williams) during the season because he kept making poor choices. He was a proven college receiver that was a finalist for the Belitnikoff. It looks like he practices what he preaches (Crossman excluded pending reports to the contrary).
But Da'Rick didn't actually do anything wrong while he was on the Bills rosters.
Would be stupid to punish a guy for things he did several years ago, in college, on a different team.
-
Yeah. Colts are still alive and something tells me they don't give a crap about Jerry Hughes at all.
-
And if Green Bay won, they'd be trashing Kaepernick instead. Ratings, profits, and ratings.
-
I think it's safe to say that any scrub receiver could do what Rogers has done so far, which isn't much by the way
Did you watch that catch against the Cheifs. That was an amazing catch.
-
You're confusing him with Easley. But don't let that get in the way of your analysis.
Both those WR's played very well that day. Yes Easley *also* looked great and made Tuel look like an all-pro.
-
I don't remember reading any of that. He had one catch against the colts in preseason but other than that he was invisible
Funny how we all see different things. I saw a WR who made Jeff Tuel look so good that half of Bills Nation wanted Tuel to become the new franchise QB.
-
I'm still pissed they picked Maybin.
I'm still pissed they benched Flutie.
-
He was suspended by the Vols, admitted to failing 3 drug tests, and transferred to a different school.
What word would you have preferred I use?
Well bottom line .. my position is that his particular drug use (and punishment) should not be held against him as a football player.
-
I GOT IT.... Marrone relies on his assistants for input on personel to keep on the roster, Hilliard tells him Rogers won't amount to anything and they cut him. Fast forward to the last part of the season when Marrone realizes that Rogers is a future HOFer and that is why Hilliard was let go!
BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE!!!
I hope that is the case. I really do. That would give me hope that Marrone can really be the coach that turns this team around. It would mean he saw a mistake and fixed in within 1 season.
-
Rogers is a rookie who was troubled in college.
I guess .. "troubled in college" is the non-nuanced mindset that annoys me. When inspected closely, he really didn't do much that should effect his ability to catch a pass or score a TD. He smoked a little weed (which is no worse than drinking beer).
Marrone had all training camp and preseason to evaluate Rogers vs Hogan vs Graham. Marrone chose wrong. Hogan and Graham will be lucky to be in the NFL in 2 seasons. Rogers is already making a name for himself.
-
Im still pissed at how we had 6 shots at taking Tom Brady and we overlooked him...
I'm not. F' that guy.
-
However, what if Da'Rick flames out like Maybin did?
This story is still in its early chapters.
It's not luck of the draw. There is a skill in evaluating players and how good they are and will be. Marrone is obviously a bit lacking (as was Tom Danahoe and Dick Jauron)
-
He will replace thousands of "ya know"s with "mmmkay?"s.
Obviously
-
Hmmmm...not true, I think the year we missed with Bledsoe when the Steelers backups beat us to keep us out we were top 10
So basically the closest we've been to the playoffs in 14 years .. was the year we had the best offense?
I think I'm all to only draft offense with 1st round picks from now on.
-
How can we get a good offense? 15 years with no playoffs and 15 years we've never had a good offense. Not a coincidence.
-
We want more Easley!!

CB : Reggie Corner, Ashton Youboty (or maybe McGee .. I never loved McGee)
SS : Coy Wire started 16 games in 2002
At QB can we please please please have JP or Trent? They were such an iconic representation of how terrible those teams were.
Van Pelt was never meant to be a starter, he just filled in because no one else could. JP and Trent ruined lives.
