That's sad. The guy proved every single one of his haters on the huddle wrong.  4.6 YPC and 11 TD's going into today's game. One of my all time favorites. 

(And no, I'm not suggesting we should have kept paying him huge sums of money to play for us.)

He is still costing us over 4 Million $ worth of cap space.

He obviously wasn't fat but how do you justify someone getting cut and then losing 20 lbs and running as hard as he did when he was under 30 yrs old? Why didn't he do that here when everyone else was working their asses off?

I was responding to a poster who said he phoned it in the last few years here and it's true. Deangelo wasn't well like around here which has a lot to do with the culture that players and coaches were trying to change from the Hurney era of fat paychecks and weak productivity. He got butthurt and wanted to prove something that he should have been proving while he was still on the team "earning" that ridic contract.

From his own words it appears he felt slighted by some withing the organization about what happened to his mother(not saying he was justified in feeling that way but clearly used it as motivation to get in better shape) you can't really create that feeling when you're with your original team, same thing happened with smith he was in shape but left and slimmed down and new environment reinvigorated them both doesnt mean he didn't work while he was here.

and who wasn't he well liked by on the team? The fans turned on him when he said what he said about the team but we can't go back and rewrite history when he's on a different team.

He was vastly overpaid but I put that on Hurney's head more than D.Will cant blame him for taking the money

There was some stuff in all-pro that Jeremy has commented on. Pretty sure he it in the main forum some time later. DeAngelo rubbed ppl the wrong way. I don't wanna get into his mothers death out of respect but deangelo wasn't good for the locker room. This has been common knowledge around here for awhile. 

and my point about being slighted and losing weight is he should have been in top physical shape to help us win a championship. That should have been his motivation. He wasn't that kind of guy though. So he gone.

What killed his career here was the read option, not his ability.

 

In other news, why IS this posted here?

I sure hope JR shows up to his doctor's visit with flowers and a get well card or we're all gonna hear about it.

sometimes players just need a change of atmosphere to resurrect their career.
