Yoi are paying him this year ANY WAY trade or not.
So even if he isnt a scheme fit he is better than ANY player you would replace him with
You are not paying him as much as you would have.
Marrone wouldnt have gotten him if he didnt think he could work with him. Obviously
And just watch what happens.
-
Unless we make a move for someone like Pryor. I dont think that you get better taking on dead money and getting rid of talent.
The issue is you keep insisting Dareus is talent, when his level of play has eroded.
-
What are you talking about? One of his former head coaches just traded for him!!
And when he was here had problems with the guy. Watch. He'll have the same issues there as he did here.
-
Call it what you want. I feel for your football knowledge if you think this trade makes the Bills better THIS year.
I feel for your general intelligence if you don't understand 4th grade math and if you say a team playing for the division lead is going backwards.
-
So were Randy Moss, Corey Dillon, Aaron Hernandez, Golden Tate, Percy Harvin, Marshawn Lynch, etc... Sometimes you need to overlook personalities that you dont like if the talent (and contract) warrants it. You need to find ways to make it work.
Three different HCs can't get through to the guy. When does it become his and not other people'a fault?
-
Bizarre post? Yes they create holes for no reason.
So now instead of one DT needed in the offseason you now need two
That IS a created hole
Subtracting a negative is a net positive. 4th grade math.
-
Okay. I'm sure there's something in the CBA to allow for fan's perceived level of effort.I'm speaking from a coach and not fan perspective. Get a clue.
They had to send him home from a preseason game. He was losing snaps. Either suspend him or they could have just made him inactive every game andceat his salary. And would make no sense.
-
i think he plays hard. I dont think he prepares hard.
Perhaps. They came in, gave him a clean slate, and he didn't show up.
-
Bills forever spinning their wheels. Create holes just to have to fill the created holes.
There is never any progress
Now need another DT in offseason so instead on one you now need two.
Need a plethora of WRs
Still need OG likely two
A QB
RB is also a big need
DBs still a need
Toss some LBers in there.
Win Sunday they can be first in the division. But no progress. Right.
-
Suspending him for what?
Not wanting to play hard.
-
Shaq has been a ghost
Sets the edge very well.
-
They didn't suspend him, but he will be inactive for their game on Sunday.
There you go. So I guess we should have just kept suspending Dareus and pay him huge bucks to sit? That would make sense.
-
Yes and said that they arent trading him. They arent going to sell low. They are trying to get him back engaged and let him help down the stretch. He is a WAY bigger headache than Dareus.
Who are you getting with $2M and a 6th round pick that make it worthwhile? Id take Dareus over that through next year all day.
Then it's good you're not a GM. Taking an unmotivated guy at a very high cap rate is no way to build a winning team.
Face it. Several different coaches now, guys with different styles from Marrone to Rex to Sean. Different defensive schemes and DCs. And he simply does not show evidence of getting it. So spare me the bit about how it's the coaches that are responsible for motivating him. Coughlin will destroy this kid.
-
Exactly, Pittsburgh is doing it with Martavis Bryant right now.
Yeah. They suspended him didn't they?
-
I wouldnt have cut him after this year either. Im not sure whats confusing? The out was AFTER 2018. I would have tried to trade him then and if not cut him.
Keeping unmotivated guys is a horrible way to try and build a team. Take the financial hit this year and next, use the money saved to get players, and move on.
-
I agree. IMO, McDermott and his figurehead Beane are throwbacks to the Jauron years when Jauron and his figurehead Levy got rid of whatever talent the Bills had in order to replace them with JAGs and STers who "bought into their system". Watch it happen. We've already seen it happen with the WRs where talented WRs with NFL caliber skillsets were moved out to be replaced by other WRs with skillsets more in tune with McDermott/Beane's requirements ... whatever they might be. Dropping passes? Being unable to get open? Not being deep threats? Playing for cheap?
And win Sunday and leading the division?
Face it, their moves are working.
-
They would cut him at the end of the year.
I hear your point but you can't tell me the Bills are a better team today without Dareus
Watch me. The Bills are a better team without Dareus.
-
What games Rams' games have you watched this season to see whether he's getting open or not?
Goff has missed him on several occasions when he's been open down field.
Several. So maybe 3-4 passes in 6 games or so. Still very unimpressive.
-
Lawson is doing fine. Does very well vs. the run
-
gase and the Dolphins will make the playoffs before this coaching staff ever does
You may look silly come January.
-
What Rams' games have you watched?
I've watched some of each game just to see how Sammy is doing. Other than the Niners he's not doing much at all. Elite guys need to do more than be a decoy.
-
Stop the silly hyperbole and talk about what they actually contribute at their respective positions.
Watkins may be a decoy, but he's not going to get paid anywhere near what he wants being a decoy. Maybe he's just not as good as we all thought. Darby is hurt. And Dareus is a classic underperformer
-
It has nothing to do with what they would have gotten and everything to do with the cost associated with getting rid of him.
Yeah they take a bit of a hit. But they save a few million vs. having a guy not interested getting paid a ton and taking up a roster spot.
-
Im not against getting rid of Dareus. You either had to get good value or keep him through next year. The Bills didnt do that. Those were your 2 options.
Your assumption they'd have gotten more later is erroneous one must assume. Or they would have done so.
People in the league see what goes on with players. Got what they could for a guy that doesn't seem interested in football.
Dareus traded to Jacksonville!

How many coaches need to try before you would admit he doesn't want to be taught to buy in?
