u never know. and u never know how Deangelo would have done with the patriots. Guy completely changed after the season with Testaverde here.

If you think about it Jake's elbow injury was 2 blessings in disguise because it brought Vinny who got DeAngelo going in the right direction and it also let us see 3 games of Matt Moore. He might not have gotten to showcase his skills and he might be on another team right now if not for Jake's injury.

Thank you Jake's Ulnar Collateral Ligament for snapping!

Deangelo was probably the happiest I was in the John Fox era of drafts. I really thought we would draft maroney that year. Thank God we didnt.

And I thank God we didn't get LenDale White either. Weren't the Panthers close to getting White, but then decide to get DeWill instead? I think White's poor shape & minor injury is why we pass on him. Again, Hurney may make some bonehead moves but he also done some good one with getting Williams, Stewart, Otah, Beason, etc.

      He’s set financially for life barring complete fiscal lunacy. He has $12.3 million guaranteed. Think about that. Twelve million three hundred thousand dollars, he’ll be 28 years old when his contract is up and he’s completely forgotten about if he never plays another down in the NFL if he so chooses. Say after taxes he ‘only’ brings home $6M (fire your accountant territory) and parks $4M in a run of the mill mutual fund… good God… What I’m getting at, IF homie ain’t feeling the NFL, he has 12,300,000 reasons to take the fewest NFL edition ass kickings as possible while waiting out his very wealthy non-football future.  Obviously completely talking out of my a$$ with this… but if you hated contact, didn’t want to live with a completely wrecked body for the rest of your life and you know you’re set financially… what path would you take, assuming you’re cool with being a quitter (not calling him a quitter, I’m just playing out a scenario)? Why do so many first rounders bust? Where was he before his one year wonder if he was such a stud?  Everybody likes the dude on a personal level. How could you not? …. but I like seeing a winning product even more. He doesn’t play like his head is in the game. The Why is where the speculation lies and helps to clarify if his issues are ‘fixable’ or not.

      Very likely that he needs another season or two to really find his groove.  It very well may not be here where he has his best season. He’s a physical standout, but he can’t seem to get his focus and mentality right. That non-catch where he didn’t get his second foot in bounds was a truly awful display of this. Every professional in this game makes that catch.  Last week, it was clear that he wasn’t playing in top gear.  Like so many young people these days, he wants success without working hard.  He wants maximum reward for minimum effort. He wants to rest on talent. But talent alone won’t cut it.  The foolishness of youth and inexperience.  He can have it all if he wants it.  Seems like he’s content to be a social media star and a forgettable football player.
