Rolando McClain suspended 10 games

[Risen Star]

When the head coach has no authority the players will take advantage of it.

 

[Alexander]

Understand where you're coming from YR but if Mike Fisher's tweet regarding Jerry Jones needing to be convinced about releasing McClain...then it is apparent that Garrett is not at fault for the guy even being on the roster.

I do not hold Garrett for that either. But then again, that flies in the face of the supremely idiotic heory that it is really just all about Stephen and Jason Garrett now and Jerry Jones is just some shadow in the background.

 

[ilykdrama]

Bye. ****in' loser.

 

[gimmesix]

Hate this from a performance standpoint. We're obviously better when McClain is on the field and motivated ... even if that doesn't happen often.

I don't believe, though, that we'll add another linebacker to start. We'll likely start Lee at WLB, Hitchens at MLB and either Wilson or Wilber at SLB. The other two linebackers will probably be Gachkar (who could get some starting snaps) and Nzeocha. Deon King probably has an outside shot.

It's not an outstanding group, but probably will hold the fort for a year.

True...I think the truth lies somewhere in the middle as it often does.

 

[Alexander]

Put me down as wanting him cut as well.


I don't care how much he slacks as long as he is available. He has been given every opportunity to have success and he just finds ways to screw it up.

Cutting him is the most sensible move. Think about it.

A bunch of players will be busting their tails to help the team win games and this slacker who sat at home through the OTAs on an owner-approved pass will just come back with six games left?

Sorry, McClain is not a good enough player to give this much leeway with.

Stupid players will do stupid things.

But when a publicly coddled player does this, you cannot deny the fact that the head coach has no power when it comes down to it.

 

[DallasDomination]

I'm DONE with Rolando. ..come the hell on man!!

What player is?

He doesn't want to put the work in to play football but on top of that he isn't available on Sundays because he can't stop smoking. It's ridiculous. Cut him.

He's had his chance. If he can't stop smoking for 5 or 6 million a year then he needs to ****.

 

[Vanilla2]

Still like the Jaylon Smith pick?

Yeah cuz we will finally get to see what kitchen can do

 

[Nightman]

Keeping around sends a terrible message......he is already a slacker and is routinely out of shape......there are dozens of guys that would give everything just to have a chance.....

couldn't have said it any better

 

[IAmLegend]

Extend him.

 

[CATCH17]

I don't know why but this is also making me angry about the Jaylon Smith pick again.

We are so desperately needing pieces on defense and we're drafting guys who can't help us and on top of that we just skip free agency.

 

[Alexander]

What player is?

I can think of several. But be honest with yourself about McClain. Aside from a couple of games in 2014, he has been exactly what he was in Oakland and Baltimore. Unreliable and not worth the bother.

 

[Garrettop]

Well I'm done with him.

There is not 1 player in the NFL worth getting put through what Rolando puts this team through.

Always missing practice and not being available because of using banned substances.

If you can't make yourself available on Sundays then you are worthless and as far as im concerned he is worthless.

He should be cut by the end of the day. Don't drag it out. Get rid of him.

I dont buy it is not on Garrett. It was his connection to Saban that brought McClain here and he convinced Jerry to sign him. With all of the hugs and slaps and smacks and chest bumps Ive seen Garrett give him, and not say a Hardy, I dont think he is being ignored here.

If this came from MIke Fisher, he is about as right as a tree on most every subject

 

[Denim Chicken]

Another silver lining: The Zone seems to all agree on something--cutting McClain!

Garrett is/was complicit. Not what I am getting at. When he or Jerry Jones are in agreement, and Jones comes out and gives him a free pass what sense does it make to blame the one who has no ultimate authority?
