This thread just piles on. Noone gives a damn what DW is saying now. Cam shut that poo down and was like swatting away a fly. Why cant you do the same? 

 

Why are you replying to threads you don't care about.

 

weird.

See DW and KB both complain about the grieving process is beyond me. 

I posted on this in the past, so it isn’t anything new. I’m 30 years old, lost my mom at 26 unexpectedly. I didn’t have the money or career that I have now then to bury her the way I wanted, or have the funeral that I think she deserved. I was 26 and had to pay for everything myself. 

For both of them to “expect” anything from the team or organization when they passed is dumb. I understand they wanted support and probably needed it. But you don’t expect people to help. I didn’t expect my work to show up and support, or really do anything. Is it the right thing to do? Sure. But it speaks more to your character than the situation. If you are the type of person where people won’t support you (DWill), then that’s on you. You are the one that caused that situation on yourself. It’s time for them to look back and reflect on that and what they did to make the team and organization not be there for them. For them to blame any of this on that situation is childish, and speaks for the volume of their character.

I'm going to try to be objective. When someone's mother dies that is important to you, you should probably try and make it to the funeral/memorial service if at all possible because at many times they are looking for someone---anyone to blame. This is probably even more so when their mother dies young and/or unexpectedly. So don't provide more fuel to the fire by not giving your best. Funerals and such are more for the living than the dead (if you get what I'm saying). It will leave scars if it's perceived that you are being cavalier about the situation.  

Basically, just do your best.

But was DeAngelo important to anyone on the team? Seems few liked him, they were just coworkers.

Yeah most people who lose a loved one get to take a week or, if they are lucky, two off to grieve and then they are expected to be back at work doing their job. Kelvin and Deangelo live in a make believe world that revolves around them it appears.

D Will, I'm not going to touch the passing of his mom, that's sacred and deserves all the respect and then some. I believe that KB was traded in part bc of his work ethic, his game approach/play and his weight. To me, he never played to his size. I believe that D Will wasn't resigned because of his contract, either him or J Stew had to be released.

    • Team is dangerous right now, all four lines are contributing and the speed at which the guys play at is tremendous.
    • And every nfl player wannabe tries to up their draft position through things like the combine and theyre all basically lying though those drills theyve practiced hundreds of times that have little bearing on if theyre a good football player. The pro days are even worse. All you have to do is dupe 1 team. Is it right? No. But until teams put more emphasis on college tape vs. What they did in shorts with no defense it'll happen every year. I doubt there is a single player that wouldn't try anything to up their draft prospects.  Young had years of tape and that shouldve been what the decision was based on. Not a scale and throwing in shorts.  ( btw I think the combine and pro days are 90% a waste of time) Young has it financially made already. It's up to him if he wants to be a good football player too. I think the benching was the best thing that could've happened to him. It remains to be seen if it was enough
    • This.  Honest introspection on his behalf would have seen that size and strength were his biggest weaknesses. He looks no different. With the programs in the NFL, he could have come back to camp 10 lbs of muscle heavier. Easily. If had done so, it would have been reported on. It would have been the hottest story…. But we never saw anything of the sort, so it probably never happened.  He showed improvement this last game, likely from Andy’s tutelage. He has to show something VERY special to close the season out to change my thinking on him… like 4 game winning streak with a clutch 4th quarter comeback. Then maybe.
