Double D Responds: September 16, 2008

From John:

Thanks for keeping in touch with your fans through this new site. I know you're disappointed in losing your mentors Kerry and now Marcus. You've been a class act in waiting and learning about the CFL all these past years and when you've taken the field you've shined. Every season is full of twists and turns, keep striving as I know you will. I've really enjoyed watching you play this year.

It was very tough losing two of my mentors. I'm just thankful I was blessed to be able to work with two guys like Kerry and Marcus.

Darian, real happy to have you in Green and White. Stay positive, you've got a fantastic career now and even more coming. I can see you around in the CFL game for a long time to come, and sitting on top all the way. Go Riders!

I appreciate that!

Hey Darian, Just wanted to let say that you are truly on your way to becoming an elite quarterback in this league and I hope you can lead the Riders' to many more home playoff games, and Grey Cups. Stick it out man, you ARE the future!!

From Jeff Hoult:

Hey Darian, after this recent MEGA comeback against Winnipeg , do you feel more confterble seeing that our receivers stepped it up today?

I'm very confident in the receivers we have right now. All of those guys can play. Once we get everybody in the mix we should have one of the top groups in the league.

From Tyler Golding:

Double D! Man , it has been great watching you play this year! You have been with this team for a while, and it is great to see you slice Defenses apart. I have a question: What kind of stuff to do you do in the off season off the field? I know a lot of football players like to play Madden! It's sick. Take care.... P.S. You are the future!

Thanks man. All i do in the offseason is play video games. Madden, Call of Duty, Halo, you name it.

From Quincy:

Hi Darian its Quincy again i just wanted to say thank you for responding to my question i sent you. I also wanted to say i know your probabley really sad about letting marcus crandell go but at least he had a good run and didnt have to leave ingured.any way here is my question for you how do you like micheal bishop so far? Are you getting along with him? get better soon and go GREEN! Bye Quincy .

You're welcome. It was tough seeing Marcus go but you're definately right about the injury side of things. He's healthy so he will be able to live a normal life. So athletes aren't blessed in that way so that sure is important.....Bish and myself we get along fine. I'm all about winning and so is he. We both want what's best for the team
