outsidethebox Posted August 29, 2017 Posted August 29, 2017 Good if true he f'in deserves it!!!! Who? The midget? What did he do?
Fadingpain Posted August 29, 2017 Posted August 29, 2017 RI was a much bigger POS at Dareus' age. Â In a totally different kind of way. Â The kind of way that is beneficial if your job is playing football.
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted August 29, 2017 Posted August 29, 2017 RI was a much bigger POS at Dareus' age. Â ...and he surprisingly turned the corner and smartened up.....so because Dareus is younger, he still has more lives left for his $100 mil?.....makes perfect sense....team doesn't mean squat..................

Â Â I think his point was he could turn it around. as for the money, thank the bills and his agent. if I'm willing to give one a pass or chance, why not the kid? wouldn't it be better if he did turn it around and racked up double digit sacks? instead of chastising him every chance you get?

Saxum Posted August 29, 2017 Posted August 29, 2017 Maybe Ritchie should start leaving perverted messages on Marcell's cell. Â Too soon...? Â Better he leave them on yours. Might cure you of your problem.
Kelly the Dog Posted August 29, 2017 Posted August 29, 2017 Â ...yes his past was checkered....Rams dumped him and Buffalo signed him and he bailed on Buffalo after one year....so I guess two wrongs make a right?..do not think Richie was suspended but unofficially blackballed due to Martin flap....lemme know how many passes Dareus gets in YOUR confessional......and let's put his optimum financial leverage until 2019 for his sincere "mea culpas".....they mean nothing (COUGH)....he IS a team guy after all............... Well he was suspended for the rest of the season by the team, which was the only reason he wasn't suspended by the league. The league had to come out and say he was eligible to play before the next season but nobody would sign him. The blackball year. Then a year later Rex did.

He has had behavioral issues going back to college. He was kicked out of Nebraska and kicked out of Oregon afterward. Its why he fell to the 3rd round of the draft. The Rams waived him after he went crazy during a game. Then the Miami thing went down. Dareus is a role model compared to Richie's past.

I think different players deserve different treatment. I know that sounds like it's not fair but it's the way of the world. I don't think you can win with all nice guys. I think Dareus is a great player when motivated and even McD thinks he's very motivated this year. I don't think we should consider getting rid of him at all. If he gets suspended by the league again that is when and only when I think about getting rid of him. Â I know this isnt a popular view and really don't care. I still think he gets somewhat of an excuse for the 14 atrocious things that have happened in his life. No one has gone through what he has. That doesn't mean he has a free pass to do anything he wants. Not at all. but he's a unique case. I also think he was a total ass in his last interview and that was awful of him.
Rico Posted August 29, 2017 Posted August 29, 2017 Story going around is Richie tried to fight Marcell because Marcell was late to 2 practices on the run up to the Baltimore game. Said Richie told Marcell not to show up at all if he's going to show up late. Â Just what is going around. I have zero proof. Thanks for the intel.

Â so it's the money that bugs you more than his missteps or physical being. Â I don't let someone else's money, be it large or small sum, worry me none, don't need to waste my time thinking about it. life is made up of chance, he seems to have one left in the hat. he missteps, see ya. still wont give two ***** about his money or how he invests it.
dezertbill Posted August 29, 2017 Posted August 29, 2017 (edited) Just by that last interview with Dareus I can tell his days are numbered. He never once spoke of McD as "coach " nor really accepted any blame. He was just "sorry it happened". He came across as he hasn't fully bought in. Â If Dareus contract was tradeable he'd be gone. He will definetly be on the block next draft if there was a way to financially unload him. I would be surprised if he lived out his contract here and he definitely won't be resigned. Â If Ritchie was at any fault he would have been disciplined. McD is that type of coach. If what the OP is reporting is true it was probably more Ritchie being a leader and standing up to Dareus attitude and the coaches stepped in and sent D him home. Â I see this as a positive for Ritchie. When he said a few weeks back he's a peacemaker I believe it. But I wouldn't confuse that with someone who will back down to anyone that disrespects him or the team, even if it's a teammate. Edited August 29, 2017 by dezertbill
Best Player Available Posted August 29, 2017 Posted August 29, 2017 He has had behavioral issues going back to college. He was kicked out of Nebraska and kicked out of Oregon afterward. Its why he fell to the 3rd round of the draft. The Rams waived him after he went crazy during a game. Then the Miami thing went down. Dareus is a role model compared to Richie's past. Kind of remember Dareus calling cogs the dirtiest player in the league when Ritchie played in Myami. There has too be some bad blood there.
Maynard Posted August 29, 2017 Posted August 29, 2017 You and me both. What an awesome throw down that would be. Who wins?
