BuffaloRush Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Great comments from Marcel "Mr. Big Stuff" Dareus following a Jacksonville win where his defense gave up nearly 50 points. He sure sounds like a jilted lover that was dumped. Here's the best comment: http://buffalonews.com/2018/01/15/marcell-dareus-says-bills-organization-treated-him-like-a-nobody/?utm_campaign=puma&utm_medium=social&utm_source=Twitter#link_time=1516027750 Then Dareus talked about his own journey. Dareus said he loved the city of Buffalo, but then offered a sarcastic thank you to Bills coach Sean McDermott for helping him make changes in his life before the trade. (Last week, he said joining the Jaguars helped turn his life around.) I'm sorry to all you Bills revisionist historians out there, but Marcell is not the same player he was 4 years ago. Marcell is Yes he is a competent starter that is capable of being productive. And yes trading Marcel did hurt the Bills defense and the return they got for him was pathetic. The problem is that Marcell couldn't be trusted not to smoke weed or to do something stupid. He was one strike away from a season long suspension. Worse, his contract was so bloated and did not justify his production or his importance to the defense. Also don't think for a second that his contract won't have repercussions on Jacksonville. Next year, they probably won't have the cap space to sign any of the big free agent QB's. Sorry but to anyone that feels that Marcel is that all pro or one of the best players in the league is sadly mistaken. He looked pretty good yesterday but I wouldn't call his performance dominant. Also, he's playing on a line with two All-Pro defensive lineman and several other good pass rushers. Watch the game film from earlier this year - or watch the games against Miami last year. Marcell is living off his past laurels and I will stand by the fact that dumping his contract was a good move by the Bills.

Buffalo_Stampede Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) Dareus is an all pro talent, probably will be a dominant player on that team much like Lynch in Seattle. Both players went to the perfect landing spots to turn their careers around. Edited January 15, 2018 by TheTruthHurts 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure looked like it last season Because they played him at NT and tried to convince him he was Vince Wilfork and not Warren Sapp. We'll see how it plays out over the years but my guess is they want him to rush the passer more than Rex did.

Environment is everything to a kid like Marcell. Bills didn't help him. He's lost a lot in life and he needs someone to believe in him. Bills didn't. We'll see but my guess is Marcell will be the best DT in football going forward. I really don't even look at this year because I think he's still in his NT shape. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He definitely wasn't one this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gugny Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 He's an All-Pro and Bills Treated Him Like A "Nobody" This couldn't be more accurate. Sometimes things like this happen. It happened. Time to move on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. WEO Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Wow, when doe he shut up about this? His "all pro" days are behind him. He's part of a line that doesn't rely on him like the Bills did/would. He's got it good right now, but he's a child. Next Monday, he can go back to the strip club and Mongolian buffet all 7 days a week until OTA's. Move on bro. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were they supposed to drive him around so he wouldn't wreck his car? Kyle Williams was like a God damn father to the kid. He wasn't treated poorly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangarang Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 He got drafted 3rd overall, got paid $100 mil and was given every opportunity to clean his act up. What kind of nobodies does he know that get similar treatment? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
