It's in My Blood Posted October 28, 2017 Posted October 28, 2017 I loved Dareus when he was in his 3rd year. He caught Haynesworthitis. I doubt we hear alot about Marcell over the next few years.
stinky finger Posted October 28, 2017 Posted October 28, 2017 It probably comes down to how much you think culture plays a role. If you don't believe in that kind of thing, I can see the trade being hard to accept. If anybody cares about leadership theory, many books - 21 Irrefutable Rules of Leadership, Decisive, The Effective Executive are a few I can think of - all have a theme about how members of a team know first who isn't a good team member, and the longer you wait to address it the more credibility you lose as a leader. Now this is for the business world, but I think it still applies. People know when someone isn't pulling their weight, and if you're complicit it's noticed. Some people might think that's crap or not applicable to pro sports. If you believe it though, and given what BB has preached I assume he does, then this is the right move. Who sez disco is dead?
IDBillzFan Posted October 28, 2017 Posted October 28, 2017 @joebuscaglia #Bills GM Beane to me in August: Yeah, any player that's not buying in, we'll find a way to move on without him. I don't understand why this very simple, basic line of reasoning is lost on so many people. This is a perfect example of addition by subtraction. It may hurt the team a little now, but the foundation of players moving toward a common goal just got much stronger.
Augie Posted October 28, 2017 Posted October 28, 2017 dareus will probably go celebrate tonight and get in trouble I’d rather he celebrate passing the physical. THEN he can celebrate all he wants! But don’t blow our chance at a 5th rounder until after the draft!
simool Posted October 28, 2017 Posted October 28, 2017 Who sez disco is dead? Talk to the Gibb brothers.
TigerJ Posted October 28, 2017 Posted October 28, 2017 Like Many, I have to say I'm really disappointed at what Buffalo got in return. Beane had better be right about the way he's rebuilding this team, or he's going to be facing the music in a couple years.
26CornerBlitz Posted October 28, 2017 Posted October 28, 2017 dareus will probably go celebrate tonight and get in trouble Sounds like that would please you.
Scott7975 Posted October 28, 2017 Posted October 28, 2017 God help us if this team loses Sunday. I can already see the board flooded with Tyrod sucks and its all because we traded Dareus posts.

It may hurt the team a little now, but the foundation of players moving toward a common goal just got much stronger. As much as I hate it, I think I’m in the same boat. I know how much he COULD mean to a team, but he just hasn’t shown a willingness to do what it takes. How long do you just let that slide? What does it say to the rest of the team? I’m sure some are probably pissed that an extreme talent (and their friend) got moved, but DO YOUR JOB! You can be set for life with a few years of doing it right.

Youd think they would have learned after the Sammy and Darby trades.
26CornerBlitz Posted October 28, 2017 Posted October 28, 2017 @JohnKryk My analysis of #Bills trading long-troubled DT Marcell Dareus to Tom Coughlin's (?!) Jacksonville #Jaguars: http://torontosun.com/sports/football/bills-pull-off-another-blockbuster-deal-dareus-to-jaguars The prototypical Tom Coughlin NFL player thrives in a culture of discipline, is accountable, gives maximum effort at all times, doesn’t sulk, and isn’t a chronic screwup off the field. To be nice, let’s just say Marcell Dareus doesn’t exactly qualify across the board. Yet Friday night, in the latest bombshell move transacted by the new Buffalo Bills regime, Dareus became a Jacksonville Jaguar.

Paul Costa Posted October 28, 2017 Posted October 28, 2017 Just wondering if anyone heard Jordan Matthews on Sirius NFL this morning? If you did, and really heard what he had to say about the team and the locker rooom, youd not be a bit surprised by this trade.

26CornerBlitz Posted October 28, 2017 Posted October 28, 2017 Youd think they would have learned after the Sammy and Darby trades. Learned what? That EJ Gaines can't stay on the field with 2 missed games to go along with two DNFs. Jordan Matthews has also has a missed game along with a DNF. Meanwhile the Rams and Eagles lead their respective divisions at 6-1 and 5-2.
Kirby Jackson Posted October 28, 2017 Posted October 28, 2017 Your assumption they'd have gotten more later is erroneous one must assume. Or they would have done so. People in the league see what goes on with players. Got what they could for a guy that doesn't seem interested in football. It has nothing to do with what they would have gotten and everything to do with the cost associated with getting rid of him.
26CornerBlitz Posted October 28, 2017 Posted October 28, 2017 That’s an interesting angle I hadn’t thought of..... It's the 1st thing I thought of that I posted in this thread.
Believer Posted October 28, 2017 Posted October 28, 2017 Good riddance... Dareus is a gifted physical athlete missing the motivation to excell... More trouble than he is worth... He is a loser...
What a Tuel Posted October 28, 2017 Posted October 28, 2017 Learned what? That EJ Gaines can't stay on the field with 2 missed games to go along with two DNFs. Jordan Matthews has also has a missed game along with a DNF. Meanwhile the Rams and Eagles lead their respective divisions at 6-1 and 5-2. Not to mention if Sammy Watkins is doing nothing for the Rams as so many people love to say then what is Jordan Matthews doing for the Bills?
KCNC Posted October 28, 2017 Posted October 28, 2017 Yep, been expecting this and thank goodness. Chances are we won't hear much about Dareus from now on. BUF sure gave him his chances.
