somnus00 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 "What you want to do is throw a 60 yard bomb. If your guy isn't open down the field, just skip it off the turf on the 5 yard cross."

NewEra Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Great guy. I took care of him at the Ghostbar in Vegas in his 3rd year. He loved the city and it seemed like he was really a genuine guy.

Nick the Greek Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Good for him.. Clemson is a top notch program. I would have figured he would have started out coaching at some bush league program (like Tulane). Guess not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Brown Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 My feelings of Losman and Manuel are the same. They tried their best both on and off the field. They respected the city and the franchise.

Bill from NYC Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 fyi ... JP has taken an internship as a QB coach at Clemson under Dabo Sweeney There was an article about Dareus and his coaches after the one about Losman. I must say that it was very encouraging. It sounds like Marcel is getting the discipline that (imo) he strongly needs to play up to his potential in this league. I don't think that Marcel had much of a chance to reach his peak with Rex due to the easy ship he ran, not to mention the stupid defense he employed.

IDBillzFan Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Yup. Place the blame were it belongs for those guys: front office. If I remember correctly, his first game day snaps for the Bills came when Mularkey threw him into the last part of a a Patriots* beatdown, when all was lost. The Pats* tee'd up to bring him down, and I could argue he never recovered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

row_33 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 (edited) it's not his personality, he didn't have the skills. lots of non-Type A personalities are in the Hall of Fame. Edited June 9, 2017 by row_33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFunPolice Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 (edited) it's not his personality, he didn't have the skills. lots of non-Type A personalities are in the Hall of Fame. I think it's both, but more personality than skills. He is a very smart guy who is interested in a lot of different things. I don't think he ever had the burning passion for football that it takes to succeed at this level. There is a difference between "loving your job" and being willing to pretty much forsake everything else for 15-20 years while you devote everything you have into your job. I think if he had a Manning/Brady level of focus he could have been somewhere between Andy Dalton and Phillip Rivers. Just my opinion.
