I know I annoyed some with my DeAngelo rants

Recommended Posts

DeAngelo overall was a good player for us and I realize me wanting him gone got on some of your nerves...sorry about that

but we finally cut him and what do you know, we immediately go 15-1 and have our best season in franchise history.

How does this relate to Seattle? Well in every game at Carolina who had a key fumble to set up Seattle for the win? DeAngelo.  Who ain't here?  DeAngelo.

I'm not saying DeAngelo was a super secret sleeper jinx disguised as a good player....but it is what it is.  Gotta read the tea leafs.

 

 

 

 

 

This post is 99% joking, 1% serious as hell

DeAngelo was only responsible for one of those losses.

The rest - was we didn't seem to have enough of the killer instinct to put a team away when the game was on the line.  Different team today.

I hope to see our Oregon back punch them in their throats with hard running and stuffs their defense for TDs.  I hope Cam shows them why he IS the MVP and Olsen has a BIG, BIG day today.

Both games at Carolina he had HUGE fumbles.  One set up an easy score in the red zone  and one basically kept us from scoring when we got into their redzone.  They were both less than a TD games.

i was just looking at how close those game were and that was when in all honesty they had better teams than us.  They don't this time.

This thread is probably half joking and half serious. But I agree with OP..  Glad he's gone.  And I'm glad he used it as motivation and played well for Pittsburgh 

I noted in the OP it was "99% joking, 1% serious as hell"

  Even as a Steeler fan also, I was pissed when I first saw him in pre-season,and he  was 15-20 lbs lighter. The only motivation he had was that his "gravy train" had run out and he had to earn his place on a team. Instead of the team being stuck with him because he would cost more to cut than actually play. I was happy for the Steeler fan in me, but knowing it from both sides made me furious that he basically went through the motions for the last couple years.

Lesson here. Don't sign RBs to second contracts.

I don't hate DeAngelo, never did nor will.  I hope the best for him and it sucked for him the last few years and some fans were brutal.  Whatever.

My point is I am focussed on the current starter and hope he is going to thrash some Hawks defenders like a cat snagging a seabird with a great pounce and killer instinct.

Today is about Stewart, Camvp, and hunger.  Go eat, fellas.  This is our time!

Thought Stewart was the one that fumbled last year.

    • Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.  
    • This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.
    • Guessing the price is too rich here given the injury history.  2024 was brutal and production dropped off in 2025 with a few more injuries (albeit rough qb play).    Don’t really understand the narrative that Young can’t benefit from talented upgrades on offense. Especially here with respect to a tight end. Any QB will benefit from talented receivers that threaten the top of coverage and tight ends with skills to stress zone.    The age and injury history, coupled with what he’s likely asking, just probably means we can better spend that money elsewhere.
