Augie Posted November 21, 2018 Posted November 21, 2018 A very sad waste of God given ability. Life can be complicated. But the guy is already set for life. Too bad he could never find the drive to reach his potential.
GreggTX Posted November 21, 2018 Posted November 21, 2018 He's still not playing up to his potential. We can find better ways to spend the money next year. I know our OL will struggle to contain their DL and many will be whining about moving him, but we will come out ahead in the end.

I'm guessing the next stage of this debate though will be when the Bills pass on re-signing Jordan Phillips because of the bloated Star contract. DT is a sneaky need position if Phillips isn't re-signed. Even if KW returns. I am counting on Phillips being resigned so I don’t consider it a need i am hoping Wallace develops so the only need is pass rusher and everything else is offense

Look at Tre and Taron Johnson. Its also one of the most expensive ones in FA. I would be ok if he took another but if Wallace can be a starter that’s obviously ideal. 1

The quality of life after 2017 trade deadline was a sh*tstorm of epic defensive incompetence and it took incredible good fortune to back into a beatdown in the playoffs at the hands of Dareus' Jags. And when you factor in the dead money from McBeane murdering Dareus' contract...........the Bills are now paying about $14M per year to fill that position with the utterly one dimensional Star Lotulelei over the next 5 seasons. Dareus is the stronger player and actually gets off blocks and makes plays............like 28 tackles compared to Star's 8 tackles. 56 minutes ago, YoloinOhio said: If there is one position McD seems to know in the draft it’s CB.

I like Wallace rangy frame...........as the NFL transitions into basketball on turf the natural evolution of defense may be similar to that on the court...........a greater emphasis on longer limbed defenders to try to cover that little bit more ground. Edmunds and Murphy are both freakishly long athletes that McBeane added.............I could see them in play for a guy like Raekwon Davis in the draft and maybe even a surprise bidder on Margus Hunt this offseason. 1

Im with you- lets just hope all the stars align. Cost of living is a negligible expense. The taxes, especially with the elimination of state/local/property tax deduction, are brutal and dwarf whatever rent these guys would be paying to live in any city. 23 minutes ago, BADOLBILZ said: Well not all of it........I mean........in conjunction with the Kelvin Benjamin effect!(stay classy Chad Michael Murray) Point.....sometimes the attempted "cure" is worse than the "cancer".

Buffalo ill Posted November 21, 2018 Posted November 21, 2018 I can't believe people were surprised he tested positive for weed. Only a stoner would wear a skipper's hat on a regular basis.

Buffalo Barbarian Posted November 21, 2018 Posted November 21, 2018 Does he even play?? Never hear his name called and don't see him much on the field. 16 hours ago, uticaclub said: Trading Dareus for a 5th for the biggest mistake this regime has made. For his dead cap & Stars contract, we should have just kept the more talent Dareus hated getting a fith but not sad to see him go. Lazy don't last around here.

It’s now our starting LG Wyatt Teller.

You REALLY aren't sure what my reference to the Bills not making the AFC championship game since 1993 has to do with Dareus? Ok let me help you out..........the Jaguars made it to the AFC championship game last season (and had the Pats on the ropes late in the game). When he joined the Jags last year their run defense was atrocious and instantly became excellent..........he was really good.........he had actually been playing very well for the Bills too.........and he was excellent in the playoffs as well......huge sack/forced fumble on Big Ben late in the game. I'm guessing this is just you really not following the rest of the NFL all that closely but being unable to curb your instinct to respond. Like when you mocked the idea that Jason Peters was going to be a HOF'er..........then fled the scene when you realized that basically everyone KNOWS he will be.

Dadonkadonk Posted November 22, 2018 Posted November 22, 2018 Dareus is going to destroy Bodine. McD and the Bills failed this kid. Instead of coaching him up they just bailed on a superior talent.
KW95 - JA17 Posted November 22, 2018 Posted November 22, 2018 I love how everyone says he has so much talent and could do better. Maybe this is all he has and he had one lucky breakout year? He sucks! Jags suck! Bills suck!
Jpsredemption Posted November 22, 2018 Posted November 22, 2018 He will be out of the league in a couple years.
