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.

    • Yes. Arm strength is a problem too, but his biggest problems are decision making and accuracy. 
    • His work ethic may be a question mark, but I question his ethics in general. The way that he weighed in at the combine and the left immediately while everyone else was throwing. He knew he was conning someone 
    • When did I say top 3 picks? Talking about starters who were unsuccessful or sent packing from one team to find more success on another--- Goff? Carr? Geno Smith?  Darnold? Baker?  --heck, if you take those QBs alone (5) you are talking about over 15% of the league.  But you are looking at performance and I am looking at skill set and fit.  What you did not mention is the bust rate for the rookie qbs who are drafted.  Why is that?  Fit and, in my view, opportunity to develop. I know that it is easy to say, "I saw this on TV"  or "but he has only been good for a short amount of time"  well, this process is not a lifetime achievement award.  Darnold was here for a half season--did he ever show the success he did here as he has in Minnesota?  Nope.  So what is the difference?  FIT.  My point?  If Jones is a top 7 QB over the past 3 years when throwing from a clean pocket and here, we will have a top running back room (Hubbard and Brooks), a good young WR room, a good young developing TE, and a veteran, top 5 offensive line--those are the conditions that would make him throw from clean pockets.  That is all I am saying--did I give him a gold jacket?  I said it was risky.  So is drafting a QB.  I also mentioned other ways our team could improve. But you decide to put words in my mouth and then argue against those words.  Brilliant.
