Cutting Rhodes was STUPID

[Mad Bomber]

Like every move this inept organization makes, the Bills cut a proven veteran (I said proven, not spectactular) veteran in lieu of a no-talent, unproven player who doesn't belong on an NFL roster.

Let's hear it Zoners..... if you were a GM looking to pick up a running back off waivers, and you had your choice of Domenic Rhodes or Corey McIntyre, who would YOU choose?

I should make this a poll....

He wasn't impressive at ALL in preseason but I still would've kept him.

I NEVER said he was old. Mikey did. I called him out and showed him Rhodes' statistics over the past few years.

If the role is # 3/4 RB and the salaries are whet they are now, McIntyre is just as worthy. (assuming he even made the team)

Brad...this preseason was the most WORTHLESS I have ever seen, as far as looking at potential contributions or evaluating present/future talent.

This coaching staff did NOTHING this year to evaluate present talent nor evaluate future talent. It was a waste of five games (that, BTW, could have had some REAL value in evaluating talent).

He was old in years but not in wear and tear.... He never played a season where he carried the whole load.... he still had gas in the tank and plenty of tread... Mistake on this one...

The guy hasn't been performing. All you know is his name is more recognizable than the other guy. It's not a popularity contest.

In his defense, its the PRESEASON.. He is a vet and a proven winner, and knows how to prepare himself for the regular season. Kawika Mitchell wasnt impressive in the preseason either, but he's going nowhere.

Like I said earlier, Rhodes was cut large in part because he didnt want to accept a 3rd RB role on a team like this. He figured he'd be able to at least unseat Jackson as Lynch's backup, and it didnt happen. He was starting to become a discontent in the locker room, from what I've learned.

Re: Cutting Rhodes was STUPID

Your 3rd RB typically should be a young guy......he has Lynch and Jackson in front of him, doesn't matter to me that he got cut.

I agree that he wouldn't accept being the #3 back. Wouldn't at all surprise me if he asked to be released.

The fact that this team cannot manage it's players says it all.
