Nuncha Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 (edited) Can I just say that I love the nicknames that you guys have given Dareus in this thread?! 1) mr. Big snack 2) tub-a-goo 3) dime bag dareus 4) pork chop 5) fat Al 2.0 Grimace - you know the big, fat, purple soft guy from McDonalds back in the day?

racecitybills Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 (edited) After the first drive he was only in 17 plays. How much could you have possibly watched him? every chance I could- he is easy to spot coming on and off- was watching on the sideline working with trainers after he went off- on the bike and then doing quick release with the trainers to see if he could plant and go- if you watched the two defenses it was McDermott vs McDermott- both defenses are designed to have the outside guys and the linebackers make the plays- the inside guys are there to disrupt and take up as many blockers as possible. Our d-line is doing that and Dareus in no exception. I was in an end zone on the second level and could had a great view of the blocking as it developed. Dareus constantly demands the center and the guard. And I am not talking about "chip" blocks. He is fully engaged with two guys all the time. People want to hate they can hate but he is doing a good job Edited September 19, 2017 by racecitybills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpberr Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Too heavy and out of football shape. He doesn't take his career seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreggTX Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 We know Dareus can play like an all-pro because he did it for Pettine. Remember that they sent him home before that preseason game. Remember how tight lipped he was afterwards, saying "I am crystal clear" about what is expected of me. I think he is butt-hurt by these new character standards. Don't get me wrong. He's a good guy who has made mistakes, but he doesn't have the motivation to reach his full potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 (edited) when he is gone after this season who will be the new player on the whipping post? Edited September 19, 2017 by DaBillsFanSince1973 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Jabber Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 (edited) Dareusworth. Such a shame, the guy has all the potential in the world and is blowing it. Edited September 19, 2017 by Jerry Jabber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26TrapDraw Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Gotta say when they said he was hurt figured he wouldn't return. I look at it as he's was hurt and sucked it up and tried to help the team. He was out there fighting to the end. But I usually look at the glass half full. And 90% of the posters are the glass is half empty people!!! No. The issue is that glass is half full of gravy. he's a fat useless F$%^! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsVet Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 At this rate, Alan Branch will be in the league when Dareus is out. It's a lot easier being game ready at 22 not working hard. Doing so at 28 with 6 years in the league requires work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LABILLBACKER Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Mr. Big Stuff (a/k/a Mr. Tub-o-goo) is collecting checks until he gets traded to a coach that will coddle him for another big contract. Thanks Doug!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LABILLBACKER Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I'm so over Dareus. Horrible contract. Haynesworth 2.0 Tired of all the negative news. After this season find a trade partner and say goodbye. Please God no more Role Tides or Clemson Tigers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After this season find a trade partner and say goodbye. Please God no more Role Tides or Clemson Tigers. it's not the school man. it's today. alabama is a strong program. what a kid does with his mind after leaving, is on him. these kids today seem to have more issues then back in the day. although, back in the day wasn't in the spotlight either. however, he will be gone this off season. I hold no grudges nor animosity to an nfl player who I have no control over, I don't sign his check. their agent and the buffalo bills hand out the contracts. some meet and exceed expectations, some don't. I know one thing, he had/has potential but I'm not going to gain anything by calling him names. I hope he can contribute what they ask of him this season and then it'll be fare well.

USABuffaloFan Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 At least Mario gave us 2 great years. This is why you don't pay a man who showed issues from the beginning. If we let him go to freeagency, how exactly would we have been hurt. He has done nothing since he signed this contract. He can't bring us a pick, he collected $100 million for nothing but being a big fat ba$tard. I normally would respect a person but I don't see him as a good man!

Buffalo_Stampede Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Can't trade him, can't cut him. Let him be, at some point he may be shamed into playing tough. Also, he may just not be that good, so shame on Whaley.Contract stinks, but Whaley didn't write the contract, Overdorf did. The Bills will likely trade Dareus sometime before training camp next year unless he shapes up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually you do sign his check. You buy tickets. You buy concessions. You buy merchandise. All this money goes towards the ownership. If no one went to games and seats were empty than it might discourage GM's from giving 100 large to non qbs. So actually you do sign his check. We all do.

We all do. when I spend, it is the bills generating that $ as part of the revenue they bring in, a small part considering the millions spent. what they do with it after the fact, I have no control over. therefore, I do not sign his check.

LabattBlue Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Watching Geno Atkins dominate the interior line for the Bengals, I can only imagine what Dareus would be like IF he was motivated to play hard every snap, AND if he played around 295-300 pounds, instead of his listed weight of 330...which means he is probably closer to 350.
