Gave up his plane seat to a Vet today...shows what kind of person he is.He works hard for breast cancer awareness...always willing to be friendly and interact with our fanbase....always smiling it seems.Lost his mom recently and handled it like a man on his social media posts, very thankful and grateful to all.I know he will be gone next year and I hope he has a productive season.Regardless of the asinine contract Hurney gave him and how some dislike him for that reason...he is still a good guy, great with the fans and gives 100% on the field.Props to you Deangelo.

That was nice of him, and I don't mean to downplay that act but I kind of wondered why he felt the need to post about it.

All good deeds shouldn't have to be a secret. Heck, it made me feel a little better about the potential goodness of people knowing he made such a respectful gesture. Hopefully, his post will inspire others to do the same.

I did not read any post so take my comments with a grain of salt. He does not seem to be an attention hound so I would think it might be just to let people know "hey I did a good deed, so can you" type thing. I believe he is a genuine guy. People like him and TD are really are gems for this team.

Unfortunately it appears the guy isn't really a Marine... wearing his cover indoors, medals displayed incorrectly, etc... read the comments in the FB post.

DeAngelo had no way of knowing, still a good deed!

He had to let people know. Otherwise this service member just thinks some black guy with giant thighs gave me his seat. Or maybe he saw a young man or woman willing to put down their life so he can play a game for millions of dollars.

Are there any military men on this forum that can confirm this?

It's tough to tell from the photo. I can see a Silver Star and he's an E-9. There aren't that many E-9's around and he's black so that really narrows down the list. I don't see why anyone would fake that of all ranks.

    • I can only imagine the **** eating grins on the committee right now. "Oh, Bama didn't deserve it? Oh, Miami didn't deserve it? Suck it, haters!" lol
    • To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset. 
    • To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…
