T0mShane Posted August 31, 2015 Author Share Posted August 31, 2015 Retired, one sub-par year in Arizona then retired, retired, two seasons sub-4 ypc on a team where Jamaal Charles was ripping it up. Hell, he was outplayed by Jackie Battle. No argument that he got the correct replacements - though the guys you mentioned replaced Chansi Stuckey/David Clowney, Braylon Edwards, Lito Shepherd and Brad Smith. I guess you could add Cotchery to the bad cut list, but that was at his request. I agree that they did not add the right players and more importantly, added players that created a sh*t atmosphere which is why Cotchery wanted out. The idea that he cut solid talent is misguided IMO. See above. No problem with ripping Rex for roster management, but if anything he held on to old guys well past where he should have and almost everybody cut absolutely sucked. Maybe you want to claim Sanchez did a great job in Philly last season? Lost good people. Replaced with exiled trash people. Locker room implodes. The man has learned nothing.

drdetroit Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Worst move of the season - Fredex is a great man and player Yeah its not like the Bills don't also have Lesean McCoy, Boobie Dixon and Bryce Brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage69 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Lose Tony Richardson, Alan Faneca, Damien Woody, Thomas Jones. Replace them with Santonio Holmes, Plaxico Burress, Antonio Cromartie, and Derrick Mason. Tony Richardson was almost 40 years old,Faneca played just one more year and was done.. Woody wasn't picked up by any team and TJ lasted 2 years in KC and wasn't exactly great avg 3.7 and 3.1 ypc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetsfan80 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 And Jackson has never been hurt? Nice logic there. Maybe you should tell Chip Kelly to cut Ryan Mathews because he gets hurt sometimes?

Yeah let's ignore the fact that he's played a complete season only 4 out of 8 seasons of his career plus he's had significant leg injuries. It's stuff like this that makes me think fantasy football is bad for football fandom in general when guys like CJ Spiller, Fred Jackson and Matthew Stafford get insanely overrated.

I'm not over-valuing Fred friggin Jackson. I'm saying compared to the other trash they have at RB, he's not someone you just outright cut for little reason. Dixon or Brown would have been better choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than the fact that Dixon and Brown are both younger and cheaper and at this point similarly effective. Fred Jackson was due $2.35 million guaranteed by week 1.

So cutting an ok running back when you have 3 other similarly effective players still on the roster is setting up Rex to fail? This was most likely a cap move Fred Jackson wasn't willing to take a paycut or restructure $2.35 million doesn't seem like a lot but it is for a part-time back in today's NFL.

dbatesman Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Not to derail things, but I finally started Collision Low Crossers this weekend, and holy flying dogsh*t Rex is just an absolute buffoon.

Fred Jackson was due $2.35 million guaranteed by week 1. The horror. And also wrong about Dixon and Brown in terms of "similar effectiveness". Jackson was the best runner the Bills had around the goalline (yes, Shady is terrible in this region of the field, look it up), and the dude also led the team with 66 catches last season. That's not easy production to replace. They have horrible QB's and Rex just cut the team's most consistently effective check-down option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills added Lesean McCoy and Charles Clay in the off-season and Sammy Watkins by all accounts had a phenomenal training camp.

jeaniec Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Based on his history here, with the New York Jets football club, Rex Ryan has exhibited giving zero sh*ts about the caliber great man-ness or great player-ness of the football players he chooses for his team. I heard that this was Whaley's call. Pegula was surprised but gave Whaley the go ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it seems clear you're taking the blind eye approach to Rex's "Throwing others under the bus" strategy, which he utilized for years in NYC. That'll work out well for you.
