Dareus interview


CRA

Recommended Posts

 

I think I know why we didn't draft this kid....he seems a couple cards short of a full deck

 

There were actually some issues surrounding him that came out just prior to the draft and made a few GMs a little leary.  Some things about his family and a little concern that he wasn't quite 'all there' if I remember right.  I'd have to look up the specifics.

lol...seems like we aren't the only ones who remember. kind of surprised at the lack of homerism there, even tho ther is some, but you can read the thread over there for that. this was the stuff that made me laugh.

 

 

the OP:

When Dareus was passed up by Denver and Carolina in the 2011 draft, he vowed he would make it hell for them everytime he played them for passing up on him in the draft.

"When asked if he should have been the first overall pick in the 2011 NFL draft, the Bills top pick had a very quick answer. “Yes,” was his reply. And when he didn’t go off the board first or second he immediately had two enemies, the Carolina Panthers and the Denver Broncos.
“If I ever get a chance to play Carolina I’m going to make them pay for passing up on me,” said Dareus."

Well Dareus, it's your chance on Sunday to either "put up" or "shut up."

 

If he were to read that quote today, he's probably pause, chuckle, and then go back to wiping away the potato chip crumbs from his chin with his $100 bills.

 

I'm surprised at the amount of recent Alabama defensive players who have turned out to be average NFL players (Dareus, Mt. Cody, Hightower).

The offensive players oddly seem to fare better.

For the record, against Denver (the other team that passed on him) 4 tackles (3 solo) and 1 TFL

I'm sure there are thousands of Carolina fans who remind their front office every day about the huge mistake they made when they passed on Dareus for Cam Newton.  Bunch of naysayers.

 

not sure if ^^that^^ one is serious or not.

Marcel:  "Hey Jairius, I need an excuse for Sunday.  What's the foot thing you say you have?"

Great players show up great. They don't grow into it. While Dareus is not a bust, he's the guy we took instead of 4 great players taken after him.

Those who are satisfied with that defense amaze me. It might be better than last year, but it still was far worse than average.

 

I'd settle for him stopping make us pay for taking him 3rd.

 

I've been watching him a lot....

he still has his quickness, especially on pass plays.

but he looks like he's lost some strength and is getting pushed around on running plays.

I don't think he's a bust at this point, but yes.

 

I never forgot it was you i just wanted to remind Dareus and Bills fans that of all the players at the top of that draft who have gone on to do tremendous things Dareus has done absolutely nothing
