What are Starrs Stats for McDermott? Actaully kawann short has put up impressive numbers under McDermott his last two years with him he registered 11 sacks and 6 sacks. McDermotts D is very DT friendly
snafu Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 He could be an All Pro, but he's not. The Bills signed him to a huge contract, so they definitely treated him like a somebody. Maybe Marcel should shut up.

Regardless whats done is done and Dareus will certainly have the last laugh if he wins a superbowl with St. Doug and the Jags. And if they upset the Pats it's going to happen. typically you're roasted for the over the top nonsense you post, but whatever gets you through your day. 1 1

He's lost a lot in life and he needs someone to believe in him. Bills didn't. We'll see but my guess is Marcell will be the best DT in football going forward. I really don't even look at this year because I think he's still in his NT shape. He's no kid. He's a grown man. 2

No nonsense about this, McD/Beane wanted Dareus gone and tried to do so from day one. They were obviously looking for more than a 6th round pick at the time or he would have never played for this team in 2017.

The nonsense is thinking that Dareus is "speaking the truth" and McD/Beane were wrong in thinking that they needed to unload Dareus. And it's a 5th round pick, for the record.

Absolutely. The combination of negatives all added up and his contract was probably the least of it. If none of the other negatives are present and there was no slip in his play, the contract is a total non factor as the expectation was that he would continue to play at the level that earned him that deal in the first place. I heard that he didn't adhere to his prescribed off-season conditioning plan and didn't meet his expected reporting weight. He never gave himself a chance with a new staff that was establishing a new culture and demanding accountability from everyone else and they wouldn't make an exception for him as had been done in the past. This idea of being disrespected is a two way street.

They're different positions. 1 hour ago, Mr. WEO said: You know nothing about him personally, other than what you read as we all have. Spare us the analysis (which by the way people here were saying 6-7 years ago). At some point he's not the infantile man boy you're still claiming he is. As for "giving him a shot", the Bills went above and beyond to coddle this kid from day one. They looked away each time he screwed them. The endlessly chimed in their support--even as he was boldly lying to them about his need for and imminent plan for entering rehab. Kim Pegula coddled him on the team plane after yet another screw up. Then the owners and GM decided to make him a wildly rich man, DESPITE his history on the team, with NO financial repercussion placed in the contract for further behavioral problems How on earth can you claim they were not supportive of him? There's zero credibility in that argument. I believe he was talking about McDermott and the new staff. As Was I. Edited January 15, 2018 by CuddyDark

According to Sal. It’s one of the few times I’ve heard him get a little heated on the radio...he was tired of the excuses for Marcell. It was after a call in which a fan was defending Marcell after missing the bus before the Ravens game.

It's not worth even discussing. IMO.
folz Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 "I'm a (bleeping) All-Pro," Dareus said. "And y'all aren’t even going to let me play? You aren't even going to give me snaps?" Marcel still doesn't get it, which is why he isn't here. He was the #2 culprit of not buying in when Rex was here (behind Mario). And it sounds like he still wasn't buying in for McDermott. A lot of talented guys don't do well in the NFL because you can't rest on your talent, you have to earn everything. Which means work hard, be team oriented, don't hurt the team with your actions, and especially if you are the highest paid player/one of the most talented guys/vet, be a good example for the younger guys. If Marcel had the heart and work ethic of Kyle, the guy could have been a perennial All Pro. I like Marcel and indeed our run defense dropped a bit when he left and Jax run defense improved a bit, which shows that he is still a good player, and if he put the time in could be a great player, but the fact that he still doesn't understand why he was traded is exactly why he was traded.
John from Riverside Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 16 minutes ago, ScottLaw said: Dareus looked good yesterday. He wasn't nearly the player he was in 2014 since he got paid. He was a force that season as was the rest of our defensive line. Enter big pay check and Rex Ryan and it went down hill. I was against the trade of Dareus mid season because he still added value to the run defense and a 5th round pick for him is trash. Still Dareus is obviously clueless and naive. Not really surprising. Bills need to beef up the Defensive line big time this offseason. Marcel did look good.....the problem is he only looked good on a completely stacked jags team. You dont pay a player 100 million dollars to look good......they should be the guy that makes a play no matter what......stays on the field no matter what......the guy that people look to in the locker room when things are not going right.....the guy that the coaches can look to be that leader on the field.....the example setter. Marcel is NONE of those things

Max Fischer Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 Bills never gave nobody $100 Million. However, nobody didn't show up to play quite a few times.
Dr. K Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 Regardless of what you think of Dareus's maturity level, McD and Beane really did throw away a ton of talent, witness how well a lot of the players they dumped have played for other teams. Now they have to fill a dozen holes on this squad. Maybe they can do it, but the proof will be in their performance. There is an arrogance in them that, if they succeed, will be justified as self-confidence, but if they fail, will be revealed as hubris. The jury is out yet. 1
Bob in STL Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 He is still behaving like a child. I’m betting that before Camp starts he will be in trouble and in Doug’s dog house once again. 1
