His first year he was good at covering #2's last year he was burnt toast. He's nothing special I promise you. Not saying anything we got is but I like this trade for the Bills. The Sammy one pisses me off because of his ceiling but when he's hobbled in week three I'll feel better. Ok, was unaware that Darby regressed that much.

It's sad because after his rookie year I thought he was well on his way to being a top 10 CB. Things can change I guess but he wasn't good last year at all.

eagles18 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 So is Darby a quality Starter? I know nothing about him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darby wasn't the same last season as he was in his rookie year. The coaching change may be a boon to him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagles18 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Quote Eagles acquired CB Ronald Darby from the Bills in exchange for WR Jordan Matthews and a 2018 third-round pick. The Eagles were clearly ready to move on from Matthews, so using him to acquire a talented, young corner with two years left on his deal looks like a no-brainer. Outstanding as a rookie, Darby had a bit of a downturn last season, but he is still easily the best corner the Eagles have on the roster and upgrades what already looked like a stout defense. If Sidney Jones is able to fully come back from his Achilles' injury, the Eagles could have a solid corner duo for years to come. His rookie year was under Jim Schwartz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broncofan Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 The thing is, Schwartz's wide 9 is perfect for Darby's skill set. Creating pressure from the front 7, they don't need elite skill, just aggressive CB's. I think he's a great fit for the Wide 9 Schwartz scheme. And remember, he's cheap for 2 more years - where PHI clearly didn't want to commit for more years or more $ to J-Matthews. The 3rd round pick is pricey only if Darby cant' be a viable top-2 CB in the system. If he's their best CB, then that's a great price. Realistically, BUF isn't strong enough to contend, so going away from Watkins, and getting J-Matthews instead, and saving all that $, and then getting Gaines from the other deal, and netting a likely top-5 2nd round pick, and a 3rd rounder, is a fantastic day for BUF's long-term planning. Sometimes both sides can win - if you want a loser, I'd say LAR are the guys on the outside, PHI & BUF both got what they wanted from the 2-deal combo.

Kmart128 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 This is a great deal for Bille but Sammy deal is bad. Id say we got slightly worse but the 2nd amd 3rd round picks will br huge in addition with our extra 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really liked him coming out and thought the Bills got an absolute steal in the 2nd round. Shocked they're giving up on him.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
