SauceBoss 356 Report post Posted October 11, 2011 All this talk about how bad he started and had like a 2.5 ypc, i love how the media just dogs you for sucking but when you pick it up they shut their mouth. DWill is now 4th in the league in ypc, the third RB, with 5.6. Hell even JStew has 4.4 ypc now.

CRA 14,142 Report post Posted October 11, 2011 Eye ball test. Williams is simply running better. As he mentioned on his little show.....coaches told him to quit trying to dance around people and focus on splitting the defense. I think that is why his "burst" seems to of returned....... hate was never at Williams.....just the fact money and talent is invested in the backfield when we are now a passing team.

Implied Volatility 38 Report post Posted October 11, 2011 how about overall yards? thats what matters Panthers are 11th in total rushing yards. Not bad considering they're tied for 17th in rushing attempts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Peppers90 NC 3,573 Report post Posted October 11, 2011 he has started slow in past seasons, no reason to think the run game wont eventually develop into a constant homerun threat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CRA 14,142 Report post Posted October 11, 2011 Some on this very board were convinced that Williams was done, so it was more than just the money. I don't think anyone said he was done yet....but many have said he has peaked and is on the backside of his career. Those same people said Stewart is now the better RB. I for one, believe both of those to be true. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think you're right. I was stunned how different he looked earlier in the season. Stunned, because his preseason runs against the Giants and Bendals he look fine. His "burst" and cutting ability looked fine. But, he just didn't look right at all early and I was really concerned. I thought myself that his best days were behind him. I am one of his biggest fans and I hate that I gave up on him so quickly like that. CRA personally I don't think YOU or many of the huddlers were hating. I think it was more about the contract and the frustration that it could have been used in other areas. I definately get that. But there is one buster on this site who have been spewing his venom towards DeAngelo ever since Stewart was drafted. If someone was dogging him during his 20td year, they sure as hell will be dogging him now. Whether he signed that contract or not.. I see his ass is nowhere to be found right now.

panthers55 5,861 Report post Posted October 11, 2011 straight As I told folks 2 weeks ago amidst all the bitching, he would improve when we got him the ball out in space and on the edges where he excels. They did what I thought they should and voila- he looks great. Like the illusion, eyeball tests depend on when you are looking and knowing what to look for. 3 weeks ago he looked bad, this week he looked great. What changed?? Playcalling most of all.
