"He is the kind of runner that you want on your team," said an AFC personnel executive. "He is explosive and instinctive. He is strong enough to take the pounding, but also has the speed and quickness to take it the distance. People always talk about wanting 'big' backs, but he is the type of back that you build your team around. "

Awesome article talking about why DeAngelo is flourishing this year.

I am no Delhomme hater, but imagine if we had a stud QB to compliment the running game.

No, I am not saying number 17 is bad, he is good, but I would love to see a stud.

I'm not a 17 hater either, but his antics have held us back recently more than helped us.:driving:

He runs with such power and balance when he is low to the ground. Having two great backs isn't something I am accustomed to. I wonder what the future holds.

The future looks very bright for this running game, and the team in general. We are young and talented at many of the key positions, and are set up to be a force in the NFC for years to come.

If we had a stud QB we wouldn't be fighting for 1st place this week we would own it already.

Or if the defense hadn't given up 45 points two weeks ago, or if Marshall wouldn't have bounced harmlessly off Harry Douglas, or if Goings had picked up Winfield's blitz, or if Rosario would have blocked better for Baker and not let his man come untouched into the backfield, etc. and so on.

The point is, you can't point to a single player and say "it's all his fault". But someone always will.

      Anyone else think we’re getting too hyped

      While I have a chance to be overly excited I'll take that opportunity. The team will determine what happens with that. It's been a while since we've had much to be excited about, I'd say let's just embrace it and see how it unfolds.

      Knowns: top 10 o line 2 proven, quality RBs 2 proven, WRs who get open and catch everything. 2 others who show a lot of ‘potential’ A QB who improved greatly in the last few games of the season, topped off by putting up a 40 burger win in OT in this franchise’s kryptonite house. What will transpire this season is yet to be seen.  defense has far less proven. 2  very good CBs, a stud DT (coming off a major injury) and the rest is, again, ‘potential.’ A DC that is essentially starting the season on the hot seat.  This is not 2003, but it could be good. 2003 was the most stacked roster from top to bottom that this team has ever had. This squad finished on a big upswing, yes, but we’ll see.  I think it all comes down to how spiked your hopium is. The running game is where it is for the team. This is not a defense that will win 3 points games. Just not. To win, this team will have to dominate TOP and come up with 2+ more 3rd down stops each game. Again, do-able and should be good for at least a 7 point differential in our favor, ‘hopefully.’  I will say that it is nice seeing talent that actually belongs in the NFL on our roster.

      Say what you want, but last year Bryce gave Carolina the best QB-play we've seen a very long time. A very long time. Often with rookies at WR and TE, and a RB not known for his receiving abilities. There is much reason for optimism with added weapons, and consistency/ chemistry on the offensive line and coaching staff. Now if the defense can get to average instead of a heaping lump of dog doo, this team should win a lot more games. This season is a turn the corner season. Next season is the year to press the accelerator to the floor.
