Boatdrinks Posted August 26, 2017 Posted August 26, 2017 You are correct. I can just see Dareus broke and blaming the NFL for his problems 10 yrs after retirement from the league. Im not bashing or belittling him, I truly feel sorry for him not realizing that these folks are trying to prevent him from self destruction. Sooner or later (hopefully sooner for his sake) he realizes it. A bit dramatic, no? Sounds like the guy missed a meeting.
DDD Posted August 26, 2017 Posted August 26, 2017 Most guys that know they are going to make the team, would probably pay to be sent home for preseason games. I don't know if that's even a punishment to a guy like Dareus Yes. Team rules don't apply to Marcel Dareus.
NoSaint Posted August 26, 2017 Posted August 26, 2017 I've had enough of Dareus. What good is talent if you're a stone-cold idiot? I'd venture quite a few huge NFL players that have contributed to championships are stone cold idiots. All about managing them.
Billsmovinup Posted August 26, 2017 Posted August 26, 2017 (edited) Still "hopefully learning"? That's fantastic stuff. Yea. Stupid thing to say at this point. Some guys just never get it. Is Beane somehow unaware of the history here? Edited August 26, 2017 by Billsmovinup
DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted August 27, 2017 Posted August 27, 2017 Dareus was worth every penny I see by your avatar, you're a taylor fan.
Buffalo716 Posted August 27, 2017 Posted August 27, 2017 Let's give $60 million FREE dollars to every well meaning kid with a 'good heart'...... What about the RARE TALENT PART?
yungmack Posted August 27, 2017 Posted August 27, 2017 Surprising number of cranky people posting here today. Some seem to be suffering a delusion that they are personally on the hook for MD's money.
Augie Posted August 27, 2017 Posted August 27, 2017 It's a fairly public embarrassment Yes, it is. And I hope it sends a message received by one and all about accountability. All we can do is trust it's a well managed message and pray for the best.
stevestojan Posted August 27, 2017 Posted August 27, 2017 So, to be clear, Dareus was benched for being late to the game by this new "disciplinarian" head coach? Did they pay to fly him back to WNY?
The Frankish Reich Posted August 27, 2017 Posted August 27, 2017 Could this be a harbinger of a positive drug test? PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE LET IT BE SO! Short of death by acute marijuana intoxication, something that appears to be legend, that may be the only way to get out from under that contract.

Keukasmallies Posted August 27, 2017 Posted August 27, 2017 Yes. Team rules don't apply to Marcel Dareus. Apparently neither do league rules nor, in some cases, do general laws of the land!
BringBackFergy Posted August 27, 2017 Posted August 27, 2017 Cincy GM after Nix drafted Dareus, leaving AJ Green for the Bengals: "It's like Christmas."lolCould this be a harbinger of a positive drug test? PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE LET IT BE SO! Short of death by acute marijuana intoxication, something that appears to be legend, that may be the only way to get out from under that contract.Somehow I bet Whaley allowed permanent drug suspension with full salary under that contract they gave him.
Beast Posted August 27, 2017 Posted August 27, 2017 Dareus is a !@#$ing problem. Surprising number of cranky people posting here today. Some seem to be suffering a delusion that they are personally on the hook for MD's money. I know it's hard for fanboys like you to understand but Dareus's salary and signing bonus effect the rest of the roster. Understood?
CaliBills92 Posted August 27, 2017 Posted August 27, 2017 It's not his fault he has had a rough life. How dare any of you pass judgement on him when he has had so much tragedy in his life. Caution sarcasm. Surprised At the lack of comments like this in this thread. For years that has been the go to excuse for a lot of Bills fans justifying his repeated screw ups.
Passepartout Posted August 27, 2017 Posted August 27, 2017 Yeah as really something could be wrong with him. And he can get his life straightened out.
Augie Posted August 27, 2017 Posted August 27, 2017 (edited) Dareus just turned 27, a lot can change. Frontal lobe for the average male is still working on developing until the mid 20's. He might be delayed due to a rough road in life. Or....it may never happen, but we don't know yet. Edited August 27, 2017 by Augie

Or maybe make me reconsider my thoughts about marijuana as an addictive drug. (Or both.) That would cost him millions more. But if he just continues to Albert Haynesworth his way into oblivion by putting forth a minimal effort? Seems like a lack of motivation, but given the dangers of playing NFL football, I'd chalk that up to a calculated decision to take the money and run. (Or walk really slowly in this case)
