True, but they both are miserable ways to converse. Lets quit both together,make this board a better place, deal?

Do you need a hug? It's ok to be happy when good things happen to your team, my friend. We saved money and retained a valuable leader. What's not to like?

You're talking about white folk, right?

Wrong thread, unless Wrex is thinking that already...

Now you're cooking with gas! Not with that kind of attitude!

No, I was hoping posters can use this thread for the idiotic parroting "cause...wrex...sux" style of nonsense instead of ruining good threads. The mods could even reroute those kind of posts here.

Why don't we use this thread to keep all of the "Rex Hate" in one convenient spot? Instead of ruining good threads you can come post it here. I will get the ball rolling: Wrecks Ryan sucks Wrex drives a clown car full of clowns like he is a clown himself NEPOTISM!!!! CRONYISM!!!! You get the idea.... And mods, before we kill this thread, remember that its being discussed in EVERY thread on this board.

I can't believe Terry let Rex hire this guy, who does he think he is? So what that this guy knows something about defensive lines, he clearly is one step away from being a pedophile, with all of that agent recommending he did. Rex acts like its his coaching staff to do with as he pleases. Can you believe they let him hire his brother? Sure the guy has experience coaching this style of defense, but won't someone think of the nepotism? Cronyism? Rex is clearly not in this to win, he simply wants to get every dollar he can for him and his cronies. Frankly, we as fans should be allowed to vet every coaching candidate for purity and virtue.

You're right, we should have cut every single one of those bums.

Remember how many posters were ENRAGED at Whaley for getting rid of MC? Some were borderline hysterical.

1. Never heard that either 2. Mario didn't like what he was being asked to do, so he phoned it in. Blame Rex for not sitting him, but he didn't make Mario quit. Preston simply didn't have the wherewithal, knowledge or command ability to run the defense. I'd blame Rex for putting to much faith in him. 3. I never understood this argument. It's the players job to learn the playbook, no? These are professionals making millions, DO YOUR JOB.

He's no Bryce Petty

I didn't know this full story. So the Bills traded OJ for a pick, selected a guy who decided to go to the CFL instead, and upon his return traded him for another pick, selecting a guy who instead chose to go to the USFL? Sweet Jeebus.

Great hunting down there....

You didn't know we gave up 7 first round picks for him?

That was some short lived positivity, eh Scotty? I new 45 minutes was too much to ask.

Lol Whoops

take it somewhere else.

Not even you two miserable fellows could make me unhappy today, this is good news, just enjoy it for a change!

Wrex sux! So does his fat brother! Nepotism! Why isn't he Schwartz!

Lol, nevermind

You must be awesomely fun at parties, lol.

It'll be like they duct taped Bruce Smith to Lawrence Taylor. Watchout cwarderbaques.

That's a good point, I forgot about that.

Some interesting takes, and I agree that it's not black and white. While part of me leans toward the "If you are unwilling to do your job correctly, why is that your bosses fault" argument, I can see the other side of the coin as well. I also think the point about it being Rex's fault for not benching MW is fair, but even that is nuanced. Like it or not, that defense works as a unit. I can understand why a new coach who is trying to install his system handles his star defender with kid gloves, even though he's being a malcontent. You're trying to get these guys to buy in to the system willingly, not scare them into it. It's part of the whole "players coach" mentality, that has seen some success. What happens if the ship gets turned around on defense next year, and we're in the top 10 on defense? Does Wrex become Rex again?
