Tipster19 Posted April 14, 2018 Posted April 14, 2018 Trade his screwy ass, put him in as part of the package to move up with the Giants.
Mr. WEO Posted April 14, 2018 Posted April 14, 2018 6 hours ago, Doc said: Yeah, "all." Even Jonathan Martin...until he conveniently used Ritchie as an excuse for his failures. I haven't heard one (besides the obvious) say anything bad about him. But even if a few had, "most of" doesn't really change much of anything, does it? You see the fact you can't escape with all your snark about "beards" and winning the Nobel Prize is that his black teammates on the Dols loved him and supported him over a fellow black player. And while he came to the Bills with a rep, they ended up loving him as well. What makes you think you have any special insight into anything, much less speak for the black community? And how about Brady, Brees, Rodgers, Tannehill, Bortles, Watson, Rivers, Keenum, Manning, Cousins and Garroppolllo? My point stands. There is absolutely no need to rush a rookie to play. I know what you're trying to do here. How did you conclude that every single one of RI's black team mates "loved him"? Including Martin as one is typical doc absurdity/pretzel logic. I don't have special insight. How much would one need to understand his true feelings as when he discusses with his WHITE bros which gun/scope combo is best for shooting black people? And you said "top QBs". If you are now welcoming in Tannehill, Bortles, Watson, Keenum and Garropolo in that group---well, you do need to make your point somehow I guess--even if you change your point as you struggle to make it. Also, Brees wasn't a 1st round pick. Neither was Garrapolo, Cousins, Keenum--and, most famously, Brady.....you get the idea. Most of them were drafted as backups, so your argument makes no sense as a counterpoint to what said. No one is "rushing" the backup to play, or to play ever.

Big Turk Posted April 14, 2018 Posted April 14, 2018 (edited) Now apparently unretiring? Has this dude stopped taking bipolar meds recently or something?? Edited April 14, 2018 by matter2003
K D Posted April 14, 2018 Posted April 14, 2018 Do the Bills want him back? Sounds like he could be a distraction. He's supposed to be a leader on the team, especially now that Wood is gone 1

I'm not sure the Bills would take him back at this point anyway, even if he did want to come back. I'm just saying that I think there was more to him retiring than medical reasons (I'm not even sure the medical issues were his main reason for retiring). IMO This situation is just not playing out like someone who was more/less forced into retirement due to a medical condition. For example, look at this tweet. This is from the same day that the Wood retirement news came out. Bills immediately tweeted this - And all these congratulations from teammates - https://www.wkbw.com/sports/bills/teammates-send-well-wishes-after-eric-wood-retires Edited April 14, 2018 by BillsFan4

You would think that teammates that thought he was just OK, and especially those who didn't like him, would have come out and slammed him after getting suspended, but no one did. And yeah, I'm sure his black teammates didn't see the things he said to Martin, but hey, you did and you're white, so you know better, right? Give me a break. Sorry, I was just taking your lead when you threw-in the likes of Winston, Mariota, Prescott, and Dalton into the "top QB" category. And the point wasn't to compare the exact numbers of starters versus sitters when merely a list of Brady, Brees, Manning, Rivers, and Rodgers is more than enough to make my point. And no, draft position doesn't matter, unless you're grasping at straws (like you're doing). The bottom line is there is no critical need to rush a rookie QB into the lineup. I would say this even if RI were still playing (which might be the case).

They should IMO. The Bills were taken in previous administrations and need to stop being "nice guy" in contracts. No more clauses in contracts like for "big stuff" written by Jim Overdorf not allowing bonuses taken back by team for drugs. Do not let players threaten to sit out forcing trade by agent current in hell. 1
Doc Posted April 14, 2018 Posted April 14, 2018 I'll wait until Monday. Either he shows up or he doesn't. They're not giving him more money or releasing him from his contract.

So, extending your conclusion logically, every black American (that heard or read them) who did not say anything bad about RI's comments about also must therefore "love" Incognito. As for the Qbs, to refresh: the point was that top of first round QB draft picks are picked to start as rookies in this league. So, mentioning a bunch of guys who were drafted to be backups and then pointing at them as examples as rookies who needed time on the bench before starting is nonsense. Do you think the pats were "seasoning" Brady as the net starting QB by making him 3rd on the depth chart, awaiting their franchise QB's inevitable traumatic hemothorax? Rodgers is not a typical 1st round pick. He was drafted as the future replacement of a still productive Favre. Rivers was drafted as the ASAP replacement of a struggling Brees. Top drafted QBs in this league are drafted to start as rookies. You haven't successfully disputed this fact.

DrDawkinstein Posted April 14, 2018 Posted April 14, 2018 So he finally realized he'd have to pay back the $1.4M? What a nutjob. Im not sure I even want him around at this point. Stay home, Richie, youre drunk. 1
