YoloinOhio Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 8 hours ago, Chill said: He was traded (in the middle of his rookie contract) because he couldn’t play zone. It wasn’t Rex’ fault. It was Darby’s, he is not good. Our staff thought EJ was better, plus we wasted that trade on Matthews. We were desperate to unload him, which indicates how bad he really is was. They got Harrison Phillips out of that trade. It was all about the draft pick. Matthews was a throw in. 8 hours ago, BillyWhiteShows said: I don’t think he’s very good. He didn’t get an offer from the Eagles and is in that second tier of free agents. Is he a starter? Absolutely I would say he’s in the top 64 at the position, but some of the criticisms on Darby are legit He said that he does have an offer from the Eagles, but i expect he’s trying to see if he can get more $ before re-signing 1
oldmanfan Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 My recollection was that Darby got traded because he couldn't keep his mouth shut in the locker room, and the new regime didn't want that kind of crap. He's a good CB but coming off injury iso teams are cautious.
Andrew Son Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 He also has McKelvin-esque ball skills. Better athlete than football player
Big Gun Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 Darby will be a starter somewhere. Someone will get a pretty good value in him.
MacGyver Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 I have not followed this player since he left the Bills, what injury is he recovering from?
Scorp83 Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 I actually thought Darby was doing well in this defense. Dude is talented. I wouldn't mind another stint back here. I think Darby was a casualty to get picks...more so then someone we had to get rid of cause he wasn't buying in. 1

I wonder if he really is scheme-specific (?) There must be something to that. Cornerbacks are all scheme specific- i can not think of any cb that were good in both zone and man to man schemes. One is more about being in right place and one is all about athleticism.

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 18 hours ago, BillyWhiteShows said: It looks like our former CB Ron Darby has not been signed yet. Profootballtalk ranked him the top free agent still available unsigned along with Suh. I don’t think Darby is as good as some Bills fans want to give him credit for, but he’s definitely good enough to start and you would think his demand would be higher. I’m wondering if teams are low-balling him and he’s holding out for a bigger deal but it seems like the longer you’re available the lower the deal becomes. https://www.nbcsports.com/video/ndamukong-suh-ronald-darby-are-top-remaining-nfl-free-agents He’ll be somewhere on a roster, starting week 1

whatdrought Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 Probably a good deal for both sides. He needs to build his value and the Eagles are a much watched team right now. 1
HOUSE Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 Seems a little fragile to me. Some teams never learn.
RocCityRoller Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 signed a one year deal with the Eagles. $8.5 million. from nfl.com 'His one-year contract could eventually turn into a prove-it deal and Darby has the opportunity to set himself up for a bigger payday in 2020 if he proves he's healthy. Durability issues have plagued Darby over the past two seasons, as he suffered the torn ACL in 2018 and deal with a dislocated ankle in 2017.' 1
