kelsay2sackseason Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 collins will know who really wants him, and trust me he respects rex more as a leader and i think we have the better roster overall along with a chance for him to start right away at g or t. i really think he will pick us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Wagon Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 So basically Door A - Do you want to be a professional in Buffalo? Door B - Do you want to hang out with your college buddies in Miami? I doubt Mike Pouncey is sitting down for dinner with Mama Collins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purple haze Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Yeah. That surely helps. Landry especially I would imagine. Although that's a little different thing. Friends on the team is one thing, I was thinking more about moving far away to Buffalo which seems cold and small and unglam compared to Miami. But Kyle lived it, probably thought the same thing at first but it totally won him over. And now he loves it. Right. I imagine the Saints have the most going for them. Rex is huge. Pegulas are big. I think Roman and Kromer and what they teach and stand for are big. Blocking for Shady for a run blocker is big. Strictly football I think we are hard to beat. Lifestyle not so much but players like Buffalo when they get there. Not sure at all what priorities Collins has. Why do some automatically assume players are looking for a glamorous place to play? Some are. Many couldn't care less. $ and opportunity trump location. They have an airport in every city. It's not like anyone is stuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrDawkinstein Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 As a 20(?) year old kid who certainly isnt on a Good Decision making streak, I could see him listening to "friends" instead of being a professional, and going to Miami. And if that is the case, then we are better off without him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given what he's gone through lately, if he chooses the party plane over the boss who sat down with his parents and told them he'd take care of him, I'll gladly watch Marcel eat his lunch twice per year.

What a Tuel Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) Why do some automatically assume players are looking for a glamorous place to play? Some are. Many couldn't care less. $ and opportunity trump location. They have an airport in every city. It's not like anyone is stuck. Its a stigma that we probably won't ever shed. It says something that people who come here like it and want to stay, but it isn't enough to change the stigma. The other half of it is people who don't want to live here are always trashing the place rather than picking themselves up and moving to where they will be happy. Their constant complaints are louder than anything, and that is what outsiders hear. Edited May 5, 2015 by What a Tuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 His agent should tell him that hanging out with Pouncey, who was a close friend of Aaron Hernandez (and famously posted pics of himself wearing a #freehernandez hat) an NFL player just put away for life for murder, might not be the best person to associate with the day after he was questioned in a murder investigation.
