CoudyBills Posted February 27, 2020 Posted February 27, 2020 On 2/24/2020 at 5:27 PM, HOUSE said: <br /> By Jelani Scott NFL.com Published: Feb. 24, 2020 at 12:06 p.m. Updated: Feb. 24, 2020 at 02:50 p.m. Marcell Dareus' time with the Jacksonville Jaguars has presumably come to an end. NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Monday that the Jags intend to decline the defensive tackle's $19.5 million option. Jacksonville had until Feb. 25 to make the decision. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001102813/article/roundup-jaguars-to-decline-dt-marcell-dareus-option Can't be. He was solely responsible for like the greatest run defense Jacksonville has ever known. I'm sure I read that here. 1

That defense had a shot to go to the super bowl in 17 and they got killed by bad QB play from Bortles They had a Super Bowl bound team in 2017. It was derailed by an officials whistle that took away what would have been a game sealing fumble return for TD vs Pats.

Logic Posted February 27, 2020 Posted February 27, 2020 13 hours ago, ScottLaw said: I think more people complained that it was a strange trade to make in the middle of the season when the team was playing well. They went in a tail spin after that trade and their run defense got exposed in the process. I wouldn’t say it’s a win or loss. Meh. Bills made the playoffs that season. They still have two draft picks to use that ultimately resulted from that trade. Dareus, meanwhile, made about a half a season of impact for the Jaguars, did nothing the next two seasons, and is now being cut. I still say the people that freaked out about it when it happened were -- predictably -- overreacting and have been proven wrong. Just my opinion. 1

If you really think the Bills -- both then and now -- would have been better off keeping Dareus, I don't know what to tell you.

I would say it’s a win only because it allowed them to get out from under a terrible contract. Trading Marcel was more about getting a horrible (Thanks Whaley) contract off the books and getting a player who didn’t seem to be buying into the system. They were realistic with what the 2017 team was and were looking toward the future and getting the team in a better cap situation. Would he have been better at DT than Adolphus Washington (Thanks Whaley). Yeah probably but I don’t think Marcel makes much of a difference in the W-L column. They bit the bullet and got rid of an underperforming, overpaid player who didn’t want to be in Buffalo.

Somehow, the Jags have still won more playoff games than the Bills have since the Dareus trade.

I don’t know if the only two options were trading Dareus mid season for a maximum cap penalty or keeping him for 3 years.

Are you really trying to make the argument that Jax has been trending up since that trade and Buffalo hs been trending down?

I do remember saying the Jags have won more playoff games than the Bills have since that trade. It's a nice little fact the "LOL Jags" crowd needed reminding. Especially when they were trying to paint the Jags trading for Dareus as a bad move, when they got a talented D-lineman for a sixth rounder to add to a team only a few minutes away from playing in the Super Bowl, which is much closer than the Bills have sniffed since 1993. Perspective is nice sometimes. Edited February 27, 2020 by BringBackOrton
Billy Zabka Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 (edited) Whaley, Brandon, Overdorf gave Dareus a huge deal with no boilerplate voided guaranteed money clauses despite constant drug, weight, and maturity issues. Good riddance to those clowns...except Overdorf. Edited February 28, 2020 by Billy Zabka
