Random, Outdated, and Not Draft-Related: ICYMI, DeAngelo Williams is a huge a-hole

So, I randomly came across this video from 2017 that I had never seen before of DeAngelo Williams completely ripping into Kyle Brandt and Pete Schraeger of NFLN.  If you've ever watched their show, it's often goofy, sometimes corny, but always light-hearted...  except for this episode.  A conversation about an upcoming Pats-Steelers (who he was no longer even playing for) game took a left turn when DeAngelo ripped into the aforementioned for not playing pro football, so their opinion was worthless.  It came off even more arrogant, because Brandt actually played football at Princeton.  This was extremely tense and awkward.  It's just crazy to see how fan-friendly DeAngelo seemed to be early in his career, in contrast to where he ended up reputation-wise.  Words don't do this justice.  It was rough.

Yeah the years leading up to 'double trouble' and until he left the team I really liked how he presented himself. Then something changed and it seemed like he got very bitter... 

Probably all the headshots he took.

His mother passed and it changed him.

Sad but it’s clear.  He didn’t take it well.

Exactly it. When a mother fuger laughs at his own poo constantly, and it's not funny and cringe worthy, it just looks like a total internet troll. What a tool man.

People saying he changed but maybe he was like that the whole time....

Idk, I never had personal interactions with him, but was under the impression that prior to his mother passing, he was very friendly and involved with fans and such...  it seemed he became more introverted, bitter, and standoffish after his mother passed.

I'm honestly not sure he actually "changed" at any point.

I think it's more that his early "nice guy" image was a carefully crafted illusion by some of his people.

I've thought this was possible as well, but he did do a lot of fan-centered events during the peak Double Trouble days and from every one here who interacted with him seemed like they genuinely enjoyed it and found him personable...  and he seemed very accessible and engaged a lot with fans on twitter in a friendly manner...  that's an awful lot of acting to keep up with for that many years, but idk...  it's possible.  I just never heard anything bad about him as a person until after things changed with his mother.

    • Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.
    • How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.
    • I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
