DieHardBillsFan Posted September 17, 2018 Author Posted September 17, 2018 (edited) It just seems that one of McDermott's strongest assets is to be inspirational. If this was as true as it seems then people would be lining up and not stepping out of line. Even if they were washed up or still in preseason or during a game, they chose to walk away under his watch. Edited September 17, 2018 by DieHardBillsFan

If you say "it seems like they wanted to play", you'd think they'd be on an NFL roster at this point. Expand No way. The Bills own Boldin's rights, so if he wants to play, they gotta pay. The Cheats lost interest when they found out the Bills weren't just going to release him. Screw Boldin, he deserved it. I also love all the hand-wringing over Richard, like if he just stayed here, he wouldn't have gone bat$#!~ crazy.

Richie went nuts but also had injuries. They both retired after the season with plenty of time for them to be replaced. I wouldn't say those two quit. Boldin and Davis Yeah They quit Expand Clear evidence that McDermott and Beane's process causes injuries and mental illness!
JMF2006 Posted September 17, 2018 Posted September 17, 2018 (edited) Boldin and Davis were both finished. One realized he had lost a step before the season started. The other realized it after getting beaten like a rented mule several times. He was probably dog tired from the heat and just quit. Edited September 17, 2018 by JMF2006

I know Eric Wood was not by choice, but Anquan Boldin and Richie Incognito both seemed like they still wanted to play. Maybe McDermott isn't as inspirational as we all think he is. He has kept Kyle around at least. So far... Expand Correlation does not imply causation. Not with a sample size this small. Does a certain contingent of players around the league view Buffalo, NY as a Siberian gulag, the last place in the league they would want to end up? Probably! Is that ever going to change? Probably not. Is that at play with Davis and Boldin? I don't know.
