Rolando McClain Negotiations Not Good

[Nirvana]

You're on crack

So, he was that amazing, yet no one has expressed any significant interest in him? That doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

Just like everyone else, our players get significantly over valued here. Was he solid? Yes. Was he some irreplaceable presence? No. Hitchens stepped in and played at damn near the same level, as a rookie!

With Hitchens and Lee back next year, I am absolutely happy with Brinkley in base looks and those two in nickle. There is also always the possibility of drafting another LB.

Then say that. You said he wasn't that good last year. He was the main reason our defense went from last to pretty good. This same defense minus Ware, Hatcher and Lee was better with him. Did he die down a little at the end of the year, yes, but that was injuries more than anything. He did miss a game you know with the injury I believe to his leg. The guy is a beast and I and all cowboys fans should be hoping he is on our team next year. I never seen a guy as strong as him. No matter how big the RB is or how much of a running head start the rb gets once he makes contact its as if the rb ran into a brick wall.

That was me, champ. And that's no even what I said. Way to exaggerate my statement to make a point.

And seriously, the main reason? That's all kinds of crackish. Crawford was more important. Scandrick was more important. The resurgence of Carr was more important. All of those were more impactful than McClain. You sipping the kool-aid BIG time.

I'd still be surprised if he isn't back here in 2015, maybe on some sort of game day roster bonus deal. He probably doesn't understand what his market actually really is and is angry about it. The longer he has to wait the more his value decreases.

People went crazy for McClain, no pun intended, because of his lowered expectations. He was a huge question mark and came in for Lee and did damn good. But let's not carried away. He didn't scare other players into not succeeding and his pass coverage was below average.

As the season wore on, his problems mounted, but that is common with MLBs. I would take him back, but at this point with Lee, Hitchens and Brinkley he isn't needed and they won't overpay in years or dollars.

He was and is that amazing, yes, he is. Everyone knows the only reason why he has nobody interested in him is because he is a head case. Not many teams other than us are willing to sign someone who suffers from bipolar and has retired twice before the age of 25. I admit the guy has a ton of problems and should not get a big contact but that is not because of his lack of production. The guy is an amazing MLBer.

Doesn't sound like an exaggeration if you ask me. you specifically said this:

This kid just isn't right upstairs.

I wouldn't think twice if he walks. He wasn't that good last year when he did play.

Hyperbole. You work it.

Fisher needs to grow up. Who cares how the question is phrased" "missing out" or "passing"?

He seems to take the slightest offense at even the suggestion that some things might be out of the Cowboys' control.

Is he a reporter or their PR flak?

Also Crawford and Scandrick were on the same exact team a couple of years ago + Ware and Hatcher.......That team ranked last in defense. I don't even know why I am waisting my time on here when everyone with any sort of football intelligence can clearly see why our defense was good last season. Go look at it. We beat Seattle at home with him being a big reason. We lost to GB and couldn't slow them down in part because he was injured. Facts are facts and this guy elevated our defense minus Ware, Hatcher and Lee.

The number one reason was for the improvement was Demarco Murray running for 1800 yds.

McClain did help for sure, but keeping the D off the field kept them fresher and they had some timely TOs.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Then you are going to be sorely disappointed with Jasper Brinkley. Ro is much better in coverage than you realize, for a guy 6-4 260 lbs. his ability to play sideline to sideline and man to man is freakish.

I've been disappointed with out LB coverage for a decade. That is kinda the point. Neither solving the problem is not an endorsement.

 

[JBS]

Ro got off a to a hot start...but he didn't get anywhere near that level as the season progressed...he actually gradually regressed

 

[JBS]

Considering his history...he was in and out of games...couldn't be relied upon..and even when he was on the field, was regressing, I'm fine w "passing" on him

From his girlfriend recently.

Well she needs to take a minute to stop breaking him off and knock some sense into his head. By the way ... she's a cutie

 

[Bowdown27]

I think this 4 game fine hurt him too. One more failed test he's suspended. Teams were iffy with him as it is and now w this fine teams are gonna be real weery of him. I think he retires honestly

See what I wrote after week two ^. I don't think I need to be told why we won games this past year. See my number 2 & 5. Funny thing I almost failed on was number 4 but still you can't get them all right.
