The Big Cat

Which is precisely what we've been told. Which is why an assumption to the contrary would be proactively pessimistic.

That take strikes me as needlessly and proactively pessimistic.

On him going unclaimed: it is very much telling. That means teams passed at the opportunity to at least kick the tires while they can still have 90 men in camp.

Your original assertion was that Washington will be remembered as the only starter from this draft. Is that not what you meant?

Hmmm. Well, it's been reported that he'll be back sometime between weeks 6 and 8. How do you decide which reports you believe and which you don't?

Shaq Lawson is scheduled to start 8-10 games.

I have to give you credit. You've brought your game back in a big way.

Is it time to take the "4mer" our of your handle?

That sign is the real crime. Couldn't even be bothered to take the Word Doc out of Calibri. SMDH

WHAT UP STRIKE

of course you'd think that. you're living in a parallel universe wherein you twist reality to serve arguments that wouldn't otherwise hold up.

Of all the things to criticize Rex for...

good. marcel needs support. this is not an excuse.

Fair!

pretty much the same thing that happens if we go 6-0. our lives still just about the same

Yep. It's a miracle he even made it to zero, let alone 100 million. Ring a ding ding!

it's not what i think, it's what statistics tell us. anyways, back to making this about you and your football team. let's just blame the hc.

you should be embarrassed at how badly you're missing the point

the outrageous lack of perspective of some people here is borderline terrifying

oh, i see. it's my intelligence you were commenting on. you think it's dumb to comment on the likelihood of a poor future for the kid from alabama who grew up so poor he showed up to football practice in his barefeet, who lost two guardians before he turned 12, was raised with six other kids by a wheelchair bound mom making $600 a month, lost his high school mentor? you think it's dumb to speculate on the likelihood of a prosperous future for that kid if football wasn't in the equation? you do remember that his little brother was shot and killed, right? dumb?

um. rex wasn't the coach when they drafted dareus nor when they signed manny lawson.

I fail to see the correlation. I'm not referring to the consequences of the actions he's already been punished for.

i don't know if you're being sarcastic, but it's not an excuse. if he didn't have football, he'd be in jail. period. given his background and what he's been through in his personal life, it would be a statistical improbability for him to not be incarcerated or dead by now. these aren't excuses, they're reality.

marcel's inability to follow societal norms has !@#$ all to do with rex ryan

zero attempt at deflection you're the one that listed the man's transgressions. a pattern of behavior that predates rex significantly. you also failed to mention the suspicious party he attended when he was a senior in college, six years before rex took over as head coach of the bills. so, while i may have whiffed at injecting some levity into this (cosmically) meaningless situation, the attempts at pinning marcel's history of poor decisions on the current head coach is !@#$ing laughable. i doubt more than two or three members of to this board can begin to fathom what the man has been through in his life. he has experienced repeated trauma and as a predictable consequence he struggles with maturity and decision making. it has virtually nothing to do with rex !@#$ing ryan
