I have yet to meet a 'game breaking' running backs coach...

I believe suffered from serious stuttering and worked to overcome it. So when he struggles a bit its that infliction that he is overcoming.  If you know anyone who suffers it's pretty awful. Buck has worked hard to overcome it.

Buck's resume as a RB coach should hold minimal weight as to how he should do as a QB coach, a position he knows.
It was more or less to help get him transitioned to being a coach.

I think that's just Buck's style, but I tell ya, he sure is hard to listen to. 
Found this interview from 2006 and his speaking style is much the same.

That asking price for Laurent is scary.
At this point I'm kind of leaning more towards signing Laing or Capicotti so we can still go after Smith or Messam.

No, that's why I didn't post the video, but I digress. The 'guy' wasn't a bust, and you will see him get snapped pretty fast in FA. Just because you didn't appreciate Washington..doesn't mean many other didn't.

The people who don't think Washington was a good DB clearly have no clue about football. Here's my thoughts on the situation, Washington wants a big pay day and Walters figures he's got other options that won't cost as much and he's cheaping out. 

And he has some upside to him, atleast we'd still have some coin leftover if we signed him.
Don't get me wrong, I'd LOVE to land Laurent but cost-wise it could handcuff us for a couple years.

Nor his tracking speed and athleticism..

Washington is very underrated because he plays a position where you're usually only noticed when you're making a big play or getting burnt. Nobody remembers the games where he shuts down the #1 receiver because it happens quietly.

What? He plays the tougher half back spot and does it quite well. He's all over the field and he does his job well. The trouble here is people will focus only on the plays where he got beat, but guess what, the top receivers (who Washington was always covering because that's how the coaches viewed him) will get open and make plays on everyone. If we lose Washington mark my words we will miss him. 

There now seems to be a lot of favourable comments about Washington...as it should be.
Makes me wonder why a Bomber fan? would post an unflattering video... After all, there is a video on Washington's incredible 96 yard kickoff return out there too.

Washington at times was one of our better defenders. Not to mention arguably our best punt returner.
Last year he had 67 tackles, 1 sack and 3 INTs which anyway you cut it is pretty good.

Demond is better than Harris.

Marcus Brady is another one. Everyone wanted that guy it seemed and he didn't accomplish **** as a qb. 

Jason Maas and Scott Milanovich come to mind immediately.   I'm sure there are more but I'm lazy tonight.   

Some of the comments in this thread make about as much sense as this gif (which I've been waiting to use for awhile now ) ...

What's left of it ... KIDDING I couldn't resist ... good move congrats Buck!!!

It makes so much more sense, the guy may not have lit it up as a qb but he definitely had the smarts and this Willy only benefit drew.

An actual former qb coaching qbs. Nothing wrong with that.
