N.Y. Orangeman Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 The Marrone hate continues to be irrational. They are nice people.
Cash Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 I was just thinking today about how often Marrone said he wanted to "smell the breath" of his players in his first few press conferences. That's weird, dude. Don't go around smelling people's breath!

However, despite two years of Sexy Rexy, I like where this team is with McD and Beane. And no, it isn't just the playoffs, as I mentioned several times in several threads, I like the way McD thinks and I agree with what they've done with Watkins, Dareus and others...although I still didn't get the Darby trade, I'll give them a pass on that one and wait to see where the roster is come September 2018. What didn't you get about the Darby trade? He was horrible last year. This year he has missed half the season and played poorly in the other half. 6 hours ago, Manther said: Exactly Anyone who tells you they are a straight shooter is not a straight shooter.

Whoa, maybe chillax a little....I disagreed with the Darby trade and I still do. For one, he wasn't "horrible", he just had a great Rookie year as he had, "fifth-highest grade by a rookie CB in the PFF era" and definitely had a "sophmore slump" in 2016 no doubt, but for a CB with that kind of promise, it seemed premature and silly given the fact he is so young and playing on a Rookie contract. Additionally, he ranked 28th out of 117 possible CBs that were graded for 2016, so not good but not "horrible" either. Secondly, the Bills didn't trade for him until August, which means it could have been him and Tre White on the boundary and there is no guarantee his injury would have occurred in Buffalo, so he may or he may not have played for the entire season, that to me makes him a worth while prospect and doesn't make sense to trade a young, very promising CB. As I said, I liked all the other moves, but that one made the least sense to me given the fact the team was going to depend on Defense to remain competitive and that Zay was a natural slot WR which is where Jordan Matthews excelled. However, EJ Gaines has done really well so I give that to Beane and company...again, I'm just saying that I like where this team is heading and liked NEARLY all their moves, save the Darby trade.

JohnBonhamRocks Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 Re: The Analytics quote, Marrone sounds like a politician. Bunch of words, no real substance.

The Darby trade was a good trade. If you're running a system, you need guys that can play in that system. Darby is not a zone corner. It is what it is. I liked the trades because typically we keep someone, push them into a system they can't play and then they walk in free agency. They've done it right for once. A 5th round pick is better than cutting a guy. A 2nd rounder and a good player in return for a mediocre player is a great move.

However that’s not even what I said. 9 hours ago, YoloinOhio said: I forgot how obtuse and condescending he can be. He acts annoyed that anyone would dare ask him about leaving the Bills. He also portrays Dareus as a victim imo (he came via trade so he needs to be “smart” - as if he would try to exact some kind of revenge. Revenge for what? He created his own situation, 100%). He also refuses to acknowledge the uniqueness of the Buffalo fan base and compares it favorably to the Jags fan base. I get wanting to prop up your own but that sounded ridiculous given the two reputations. I hope the stadium is red white and blue on Sunday and he is yelling f bombs as he walks out of the tunnel. I can’t wait for the conference call today with the Buffalo media. Oh come on! Jilted lover syndrome x 1 billion. Doug should acknowledge how much of a better lover we were over his new girlfriend!

One of the brightest and most genius displays of coaching I've ever witnessed in the history of all sports in all the world came from him during his first season (first game, even) as Bills head coach. That amazing coaching display I speak of? Continuing to run a no-huddle uptempo offense against the Pats with a one point lead and just over three minutes to go in the game. I do believe they went three and out around their own 30, punted to the Pats who then took it down the field for Gostkowski to hit a 35 yarder to win it. If that's not pure coaching genius I don't know what is! I think that Cheats game was the same one Maroon challenged a Cheats fumble that the Cheats subsequently recovered. An idiot and a quitter. 7 hours ago, YoloinOhio said: This one remains the best #TheAnalytics That was barely English. Edited January 4, 2018 by Freddie's Dead

Another Fan Posted January 4, 2018 Posted January 4, 2018 You know.... I guess some things in his press conferences never really change. Marrone I don't think is a bad coach or actually a bad guy just as mentioned already he's not very likeable

But Darby is mediocre. By what measure? He’s played in 8 games this year, has 3 INTs, 9 passes Defensed and ranks as “Above Average” by PFF for the games he’s played this year. So, if you consider that “mediocre” so be it, but that would be a standard higher than the “average” CB, which is synonymous with mediocre. And I didn’t object or disagree with trade of Sammy, that I did understand.
