Never been a fan of Gruden anyway. I remember when Bills fans were screaming for him to come here. Dont get me wrong i like him as a person...you can tell he loves the game...but eventually its time to hang it up for good. Idk why i guy like him would want to even do it.

Doc Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Dareus could have been as good as Mack if he kept playing like he did in 2014. He didn't come close, after getting the huge contract. That's why he hasn't even made a Pro Bowl and they shipped him out when they had a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulus Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 9 hours ago, thenorthremembers said: They purged a defensive tackle who was making 13 million dollars a year to not produce on the field and be a complete numb nuts off of it. He hasn't made the pro bowl since he signed his huge contract, and has less sacks in the last three years combined than he did in his one monster year alone. They purged a wideout who has averaged 2 catches for 32 yards a game since he left despite everyone in the world lining up to tell me how elite his talent level is. The chiefs can go ahead and pay 14 million a year for that elite talent. They purged a cornerback who has twice now been involved in covering up for a guy who can't seem to keep his unwanted hands off women. I'll take the pick. People want to look backwards like the Bills were loaded with talent. Where did it get them? The answer is no where. The Bills needed a QB and they did everything they could to get in line to bring one in. Cannot believe we are still bemoaning the loss of defensive tackles, right cornerbacks and wideouts who don't produce. You don't win super bowls with defensive tackles. Taking the pick was stupid, and should not be excused. Dareus all of a sudden produced under Marrone... I did not mention Sammy, although you felt the need to. That says a lot. Lastly, I was not arguing it the move was correct or not. I was merely saying that McBeane also purged some of our best (Darbs and Dareus). Is that what you're arguing against? 1 hour ago, MJS said: Dareus hadn't looked good in YEARS. Except for when he played for Marrone... Which he does now. There is an arguement that coaching hadn't looked good in years either, and I firmly beleive he was one of our best players. Let his contract evidence that. Silly.

You made a blanket statement about them purging talent, it isnt a stretch to say that narrative would include Sammy. Although any who uses "the purging talent" narrative is basing their opinion on conjecture and not reality. I'll agree with you Dareus has all the talent in the world. But, what I dont agree with is your assertion he has all the sudden played well because he is back with Marrone. He has 21 tackles and 1, count them 1 sack in the last ten games with Marrone. For your reference, Adolphus Washington had 22 tackles and a sack in the same time span. And he is currently looking for a job. But please go on about how silly I am. When Dareus is a full time starter is Jacksonville please let me know. But for now, I think getting a draft pick for a guy with the production of Adolphus Washington and the contract of Geno Atkins was actually a pretty solid move. Especially considering said guy is a complete mess of a human being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Gruden is one of the most overrated coaches of the last 30 years. He is awful at evaluating qbs and has napoleon syndrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Dareus didn't look good because he was playing under Marrone, an offensive-minded HC. He looked good because he was in a contract year.
