Have you guys been in a position professionally where someone in your group/team department was really good and what they did and but managed to continually rub people the wrong way? Thats Terrel. He doesn't get along well with others because he is a selfish individual. One of my own brother shares some of those same qualities. Like him as much as i do, I can only be around him so long before I start getting edgy. That is why things start out so great whenever Terrel shows up, everyone sees his skill and gives the benefit of the doubt. Just think about the hot girl at the bar or club or w/e. You take her out a few times and get to know her. As time passes, the little things you ignored or didn't know start to out weight what attracted you to her in the first place. She's self-center, not that bright, nothing in common, w/e the case my be and isn't worth the effort. That is Classic Terrel.
To put it frank, Terrel is selfish. I'm not going to condemn him for being such and say hes a terrible person because he isn't. He has character flaws, but who doesn't? We don't have our lives recorded, analyzed and broadcast over the television. None of us truly know if he is a good person or bad person, I'll choose to assume the former. Atleast he hasn't been arrested for assault (B. Marshall) or possession(M. Jones).
Each organization has a right to hire people according to their own standards. Does he have merit as a football player? absolutely. Would I want him in my organization? It would depend on the situation but more often then not, No. He deserves another chance as a Man, we as society can't give up on people. Anyone can change who they are in a single day if the desire is great enough. Criminals are a different story. But as a football player, he doesn't. He's good enough to get another shot, but everything is stacked against him as a player. Time, age, declining productivity, deteriorating skills, dropped passes and poor route running. He only has maybe another year or 2 at the most of coming close to 1000yrds.
This is a good signing for Buffalo. One of those risk reward deals. 1yr of Terrel is about his limit before he starts tearing a locker room apart. Lee Evans probably gets a big boost, not fantasy wise, but he will not be double covered every game. Terrel knows if he acts like a jerk or plays poorly his career will be done. They get him at his best. If they don't, hes gone at the end of the year anyways.
