Or an overachiever who quit on his team and retired? Discuss… He was a highly regarded pass rusher on a terrible team. He retired rather than play out of his natural position in a poorly conceived 3-4 defense for which he was not a good fit. I'm sure he regrets that after seeing all the praise Kelsay received for giving it the ole college try out at OLB.

First Round Bust Posted September 1, 2021 Posted September 1, 2021 (edited) the only thing new is the history you dont know... second to the immortal Bruce in career team sacks NFL Draft:2001 / Round: 2 / Pick: 46 Career history Buffalo Bills (2001–2009) Total tackles:483 Sacks:78.0 Forced fumbles:19 Fumble recoveries:8 Interceptions:3 Defensive touchdowns:1 Schobel earned his first Pro Bowl appearance in 2006. His best season as a pro came in 2006 when he posted a career high 14 sacks. Schobel, a first team alternate for the 2007 Pro Bowl, was called upon to relieve an injured Jason Taylor in the Pro Bowl. This was his second consecutive year in the Pro Bowl. He started in 116 consecutive games with the Bills from 2003 until 2008, when he was on the inactive list for a game against the San Diego Chargers due to an injured foot. After a team-leading, 10-sack 2009 season, Schobel informed the Bills that he was considering retirement. To add on, new coach Gailey said that he was looking to switch from a 4-3 to 3-4 defense It was reported by the Buffalo News on May 10, 2010 that Schobel & his wife June had sold their Orchard Park house, further adding to the speculation of his impending departure from the Bills. On July 27, 2010 Aaron Schobel announced he was 70/30 on returning to the Bills. On August 4, 2010, the Buffalo Bills released Aaron Schobel. He never signed with any other team; being released instead cemented his decision to retire, which he did on August 16. Edited September 1, 2021 by First Round Bust 1 1 4

You can also throw in that he did consider an offer from Houston to come out of retirement, but I’m sure you already knew that….

Dominant pass rusher who played a decade, not sure how that’s quitting. 19 minutes ago, Jauronimo said: He was a highly regarded pass rusher on a terrible team.

I remember rumors that Schobel considered coming out of retirement to play on that Dline with Hughes, Kyle, Mario, and Dareus.

If that’s the first time you heard that then you obviously didn’t spend any time arguing with strangers on the old Bills message boards back in the way
