Been getting Daryl Williams questions. Since June, and reported at the time, there has been a gap in financial expectations between the club & Williams’ camp & contract talks were stalled. Williams’ extenuating circumstances in 2018 (injury) didn’t bring the 2 sides any closer.

It's up to the market now. One crazy offer and he is gone. Hopefully it never comes and we have a shot at a decent but not record book contract. Sounds good about his knee. Regardless of how this shakes down he played hard here and was fun to cheer for when he was plowing into Ds.

Per LaCanfora:

The Bills and Giants will be in pursuit of Panthers tackle Daryl Williams, I'm told, and his price has soared above where the Panthers are likely able to match.

If we were in talks, the knee must have checked out. Props to Hurney for not rolling over and handing DW a blank check, but I really hope we get this one right. I'd hate to see DW walk for a market value starting RT contract if he's healthy.

He's going to get overpaid, so many teams with cap space available. I cringe every time I see a post saying we can't afford this player or trade for that player because they are expensive.

It's like our fans think quality players come cheap. Then after all is said and done and we end up with average FA's they will say "why do we always sign low quality FA's", ugghhh because we are not willing to spend for the big star FA's.

 

Williams will be a top player in this FA market, he will cost a lot. We have to either pay him or somebody else will. It's that simple.

There are a LOT of Panthers fans in support of paying this guy an additional $7M this season instead of making him a post-June 1st cut and clearing up $7.25M in cap space. A large chunk of this fanbase has seemingly moved past the point of numbness to watching the Panthers make baffling roster moves and have moved into full on Stockholm Syndrome territory in defending them.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I have seen little inclination that they are laying down on him, that I can agree with. I don't think we are going to ever see much in the way of unfiltered opinions in the public realm from his teammates because that's extremely rare and extremely toxic behavior.  It's certainly a positive thing that they support him but, again, that doesn't make a successful NFL starting QB. Playing well on Sunday's does.  That is what has been lacking to date. He is not playing well consistently enough to be considered an NFL starting QB. He has to improve there. Be more consistent. Be more decisive. Make correct decisions more frequently.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      That's fine but for every Kurt Warner there are 10 Tony Banks that don't find their spot because....it never really existed.  Jake Browning was on and off practice squad teams for years until he stuck in Cincy. In his limited action over the past two seasons, he has played well enough that the Bengals panic traded for 41 year old Joe Flacco. It's easy to point to outliers like Warner or Purdy or Tom Brady as players who fell through the cracks because....well, they are outliers. The statistics over the long term have never really borne out the argument that every QB is just waiting for their perfect spot and situation. Most of these guys bounce around the league and it just never really clicks anywhere or they become marginal backup QB's. I don't think that exactly an accident. It's tough to be a starting NFL QB and it's why the hunt every offseason is so frantic. There are just so few that do it at a high level. My guess is that a theoretical market for Bryce Young(today) is going to look a lot like that post Chicago Justin Fields market. Not a lot of interest and a late round pick value at the highest. And a lot of that IS going to be his average to below average physical traits. It's extremely tough to be in that range and excel in the NFL. And it's precisely because you DO have to be closer to perfection to make up for the fact that you can't do a lot of the things that the elite to above average starters in this league do.

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

      By Seltzer · Posted

      Im never not impressed by how confidently wrong you are. I've watched probably 200 NFL QBs play live. This talk about Bryce's arm strength is retarded, pure and simple. Bryce can make every throw an NFL QB needs to make in any circumstance. Does he have an arm that makes you go wow all the time? No, but very few QBs truly do. Bryce has plenty of zip on the ball when he wants. That TD to XL was a frozen rope. He throws to the opposite hash and outside all the time with no problem. Bryce's arm is objectively stronger than Cam's post-injury. I've seen both live multiple times and I know. And Cam could still play QB well without his rocket launcher. OPs point remains. QB success relies on a lot of nebulous things. Obviously you dont like Bryce. But his success is not going to be bc he doesn't have the arm strength. Its embarrassing this is a thing. Go to some games and actually educate yourself.
