This makes sense. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.yardbarker.com/college_football/articles/amp/report_jalen_hurts_alabama_have_redshirt_agreement_for_this_season/s1_127_27207494

The Bills did McCarron a favor.

Maybe a couple dozen. At least the school will get a nice pay day.

Trip down memory lane. How Bama fans watched the National Championship. Haha.

Waddle was something!

He worked for the BN for 29 yrs. It took them that long to figure out that he was a hack?

He was too negative for Bills' fans? That's an accomplishment.

Too bad they couldn't have figured out that he was a process guy before they traded for him.

He apparently didn't have the smarts. https://www.buffalorumblings.com/2018/9/6/17825398/buffalo-bills-general-manager-brandon-beane-clarifies-why-corey-coleman-was-cut-2018

I went to a Brothers of Holy Cross HS. My kids went to Sisters of St. Joseph school starting at Pre K-3. Both were excellent. I suspect that students get a good education at any Jesuit school.

Not BC, but one of the top ones, of course.

I did. I just pointed out that we both graduated from Jesuit universities. What that has to do with Alabama escapes me.

Surprised by the lack of logic. I expected better.

People have gone crazy over a lot more trivial things that a million dollar pay cut. I’m relaxing on my back porch. Perfect time to discuss any off topic subject you are into. PM me.

If you want to discuss Alabama, PM me. It’s completely irrelevant to this topic.

We all know he isn’t a stable guy, although he had no issues that I am aware of in 3 or so years with Buffalo. How do you know what his triggers are or aren’t? The contract issues could also have occurred parallel with some other personal issues, like his father’s health. I do think that the contract was at least a contributing factor.

If you want to discuss Alabama, PM me. It’s completely irrelevant to this topic.

Do you think if had mental health or life threatening medical issues they would have offered him a contract? Jesuit education must have really dropped off since I graduated undergrad.

Madone already. The Bills didn’t “distance themselves”, they offered him a contract.

Maybe the negotiations and low ball contract offer caused him to take illicit drugs or get off his meds, which in turn triggered a breakdown. I can buy that. Not sure why you keep saying the Bills caused Richie’s breakdown when I have stated multiple times that wasn’t the case.

I think he expressed his thoughts about his medical condition when he was in a mentally disturbed condition triggered by the contract negotiation and low ball contract offer. What is “pretty illogical” about my opinion about what happened with Richie? It appears that he still wants to play. Would he want to play if his major organs were really shutting down! I think he probably has some medical issues front playing football from most of his life, but his comments were hyperbole.

I don’t think he has medical issues, at least not to the extent that he indicated.

Self-hatred? It’s a known phenomenon. And everyone tried to explain to me that Reuben Foster was guilty and Robert Foster had a 0% chance of making the team. I like my chances of being right about Richie too.

The short time lag is very easy to explain. He signed the contract and then had buyers remorse. The drug connection is pure speculation. That he was unhappy with the contract, even though he signed it is fact. Based on what we know, the most logical explanation is that his breakdown was triggered by the contract.

Of course the guy had mental issues. That’s pretty well established. However, there were no issues that I am aware of in the last three years or so he spent with the Bills. Something triggered him, the contract issue being the most likely candidate based on publically available info. It correlates with his behavioral change. It’s all speculation at this point since we don’t know what else may have changed. They throw away $3.5M on Coleman, but cut Richie’s salary, by what $1M/yr when he is playing at a Pro Bowl level and they are weak at OL? Stupid. They surely didn’t know he was going to go off the rails, but at the very least, did they think he would be happy? The contract offer was just plain dumb.
