DrDawkinstein Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 Look, I get it. You don't like what Dareus said. Doesn't change the fact he's just having fun and is obviously confident. I suppose you'd prefer for every player to just keep quiet and only show their stuff on the field. Well, it ain't the 50s anymore. And those guys were hardy humble little alter boys. It's simply that the press gave them much more privacy. So if they were out drinking the night before the game and getting into bar fights, well... thats just what those kooky football players do! But nowadays, thanks to the internet, everyone is informed so everyone thinks they are a critic (read: hater).
HelloNewman Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 I hear Maybin likes to be called Wonder Woman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOLLOLOLOLOLOL-----OMG too funny!!! I fell back on my chair on that one.....
Scrappy Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 Dareus is a class act that looks to become an inspiration to new generations of fans, way to go Hulk !!
John from Riverside Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 Guys....this is a whole lot about nothing and writers are trying to find things to write about as no football is being played..... Nothing to see here....move along folks move along...
shoretalk Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 Yes, he has to prove it but the Nix picks have an attitude you have to love! Moats has it ... Carrington appears to have it ... This year's late round picks have it and so does HULK! Most of us know that Dareus will have things to learn and NFL ol will teach him some things but one thing I am sure of ... No reporter will ever print a story saying that he looks like a wide receiver!

Nothing to see here....move along folks move along... Yep, this is nothing more than a product of the 24 hour news stations. Doesnt say anything about Dareus that we didnt already know. He's a class act that LOVES to play football.
NewEra Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 I don't know.....a rookie telling the vets to call him the Incredible Hulk? Besides, nicknames are given, not taken. I guess we'll have to see if nicknames are given or taken. I'd bet that you're wrong, and that he just took it.
Marv's Neighbor Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 I hear Maybin likes to be called Wonder Woman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! More like THE INCREDIBLE HAS-BEEN!
NewEra Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 Make a play in the NFL before giving yourself a nickname. I really hope this guy lives up to all the hype because clearly it's getting to his head. Just sayin' You don't like that he gave himself a nickname and that he says he going to dominate.... Awesome post.
billsfan89 Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 Dareus is setting up lofty expectations. Lets hope he can back it up.
karl malones other son Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 The leaders on the team will calm him down. When he tells one of our leaders on defense like Kel.....Whit......um....... Um....oh....wait...........Long live Hulk. win n e r
Gibran Chandan Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 I hear Maybin likes to be called Wonder Woman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That would imply some kind of wonder. I'm not buying it. As for Dareus and The Hulk...I love it. From everything I've seen so far, I don't think he's cocky - I think he's just a kid (he's 21, for crying out loud) who's extremely excited about his future and is having a little fun getting into the spirit of the game. If he gets out there and sucks completely...oh well. But I'd rather assume that he's going to be awesome and let me prove me otherwise, instead of expecting him to suck. Where's the fun in that?
Buffalo Barbarian Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 (edited) HULK SMASH!!! beat me to it but who cares, HULK SMASH !!! More like THE INCREDIBLE HAS-BEEN! more like never was. Edited May 25, 2011 by Buffalo Barbarian
Mr. WEO Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 Look, I get it. You don't like what Dareus said. Doesn't change the fact he's just having fun and is obviously confident. I suppose you'd prefer for every player to just keep quiet and only show their stuff on the field. Well, it ain't the 50s anymore. Obvioulsy I would like a player to show his stuff on the field. This kid is a great pick and may be the real deal. Confidence is a powerful weapon. But for a guy who hasn't been stood up yet by an opposing offense in the NFL to declare that he is henceforth to be know as the Incredible Hulk--and that his team mates are to refer to him as that during games is a bit much at this point. This is not the 50's but the 10's, where everyone is a self-proclaimed, self-promoted winner. He's already said he's out to get Carolina and Denver for not picking him (he doesn't like Buffalo or he doesn't understand the draft?). I am struggling to recall all of the distant past or recent great D-linemen in the NFL who made such a claim before playing a down (or even signing a rookie contract).

Everything I've seen, heard, or read about Dareus speaks to his high character, kindness, and affable demeanor. We'll just agree to disagree here, because this is nothing more than a kid having fun and motivating himself. The Hulk thing is obviously not new, because I've seen Dareus make a Hulk pose after plays in many of the clips I've seen. And notice he said, "I HOPE they call me Hulk." It was not some sort of demand. Much ado about nothing, Mr. WEO.
JinWPB Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 Sorry, there will be no more smashing in the NFL. All players are to be deposited gently on their derrieres.
