Deangelo Williams returns to LiveStream

I came midway probably but these were some of the questions he answered while I was tuning in...

Someone asked about what he thought about Jimmy. He said he liked him and he thought he wasn't ready last year because he was "thrown to the wolves".. said he was on 3rd team playing only against scout team so he wasn't given a chance and it was obvious he wasn't ready... He did say that he has been impressing him this year in practice... He then mentioned how Derek Anderson lights it up in practice even moreso and that he can see how he is a pro bowl caliber QB and he says he helps Cam out a lot.

Mentioned that cam will not be a "beast" but he will be a "monster" once he learns and understands the offense inside and out but he has been impressed that Cam knows what he's doing without the use of a wristband.

Another person asked him who he was closest to on the team and he said the RB's....

He was asked what he thought about Olsen and he said he was probably the funniest guy on the team and if you ever get a chance to have a talk with him you should take the opportunity because he is hilarious..

Also brought up nicknames from the team and he said Cam has a nickname for everyone and refers to everyone by the nickname he gives them and he had a particularly funny one for one of the TE's but it slipt his mind what the nickname was lol...

He also said how fantasy football is a gift and a curse, he says people forget that players are human beings and he was disgusted by a person who asked him if he was going to play on sunday when he was injured because guy had him in fantasy instead of asking him "how are you feeling? get better etc..." but he likes that fantasy football gives the NFL greater exposure etc. He promised that regardless of fantasy numbers no one will work harder than him and he gives every run his all.

-Hasn't livestreamed in a while b/c a person in the org. told him not to but he got the ok now.

-He doesn't care about getting fantasy points, whether he has 2 yards or 200 it's fine.

-THey're sending in tape of the Shockey push off and the Steve Smith helmet to helmet hits from Meriweather.

-Cam is a beast, and so is Steve who has not lost a step despite what people may say.

-They will get better and the wins will begin to stack up

-He says he knows they will be good on D when all of the players return (mentioned TD specifically so who knows)

-Mentioned that he saw Aaron Curry's name online (he may be a huddle stalker lol) he says that he hasn't heard about it yet though.

-Two favorite players two watch are Cam and Steve, it is amazing watching Cam, says Cams feet were off of the ground when he threw 53 yrds. to Steve which shows his arm strength.

-Mentions that they were the first team to run the Wildcat in the NFL but Dan Henning revolutionized it in Miami.

-Greg broke the crossbar because they hadn't tightened the goalpost yet.

-Said Peppers and Urlacher asked why we stopped running the ball b/c they were having trouble stopping them.

-D Will says he said he doesn't question the calling c/ the coaches have been there and get paid wapy more than him to make the right calls.

-Says that under the old regime they weren't that good at passing, but with the new one he said "Lets strap up this is going to be a fun high scoring game c/ of the quick strike offense" and it happened like he predicted.

-He's been looking at Joe Montana film just in case he has to sling it in the Wildcat/Flea Flicker.

-He grew out hair b/c he couldn't find anyone to cut it in Charlotte, but likes it b/c it helps cushion his head from impact.

-Jimmy is a great QB, they threw him in too early, and he was a 3rd string QB coming in who didn't get a lot of reps and he basically wasn't ready. Now in practice he's hitting people very well. But Derek Anderson impresses him most, he's a Pro Bowl caliber QB and he's pushing Cam to play to his best.

-Cam will be a MONSTERRR not beast...but a MONSTERRRR once he gets the entire offensive system down.

I can't think of a player who gives more of his own personal time to his fans then DeAngelo... had the pleasure of meeting this guy in person on several occasions and I can tell you he's the real deal, loves connecting with fans.

8.2 ypc yesterday, anyone still think he's washed up?

    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
    • Sanders is with Tom Brady brand and that's his mentor. The Raiders owner was with Sanders taking pics at a Vegas game together.   It doesn't take much to connect the dots that Vegas will be interested in Sanders as their franchise QB. Oh yeah and guess who hasa small ownership stake in the Raiders Tom Brady.   I guess this is just another made up Madden idea by me huh?
    • Bro I don't mind debating you, but did you really have to write all that to get your point across.   This isn't Madden. If you have the #1 pick you literally control your own destiny. If nobody wants to trade which I have a hard time believing they won't then you obviously take the best QB.   I think we will have suitors. If that's Madden then so be it.
