There were quite a few really good players that were shown the door during the Gettleman reign, and a lot of them were pretty salty about it. DWill was great when he was here, he did well in Pittsburgh when they needed him. He got upset about the whole deal and after the loss of his Mom he had some stuff to say about the organization that may have been targeted at management but hit the whole fan base. 

Up until then, he'd been the model Panther and had been a helluva running back. In truth, we could have used him the year we let him go and the year after that. 

Gettlemagic pushed DWill out before it was time, just like he did with Smitty. 

Oh yeah, NASCAR. Meh.

D-Will overstayed his welcome. He got fat and complacent after his contract extension and did next to nothing thereafter. He even commented on how he was in the best shape in years when he went to Pittsburgh because he actually had to be held accountable for his on the field performance again. Before that year, he had spent the previous 5 getting fat and sassy never even eclipsing 850 yards over that time span while being one of the highest paid RBs in the league.

Also it came out from a few people here and there that behind the scenes Williams was a bit of a prick and hard to like within the building so there wasn't much love lost when we let him go. 

I think you're looking at his time here with rose colored glasses. Dude had 2 good years in 08 and 09, got paid, then never really did much else for us ever again.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      Strongly disagree with the premise here. Without getting too into it, the biggest gripe for many has always been his footwork and pocket presence.  Shallow drops, happy feet, bad awareness - his overall technique is highly unconventional and not beneficial to his size/frame.  His upper body gets mad out of sync with his lower, drops back parallel to the LOS, erratic behavior. When you take that to the NFL level, you get swallowed up. And he got shellshocked and started bailing way too soon on plays. Unnecessary throwaways when he should step UP into the pocket and hit.   He got away with it in school because sooo much of his work was out of structure or quick hits to Jamo.  He was able to not bail early and stick in the pocket this last game. He also was dropping deeper than he usually does to create sight lanes. He can’t really outrun DLs so he needs to create that space via drop to survey properly. When he does these bs skip hops in the gun, he barely drops and is flooded. He needs to stay active with his feet but learn to step into the pocket more.  His average arm when he’s not doing this right turns Pennington esque.
