I think Gettleman did DeAngelo wrong, from the time he lost his mom until his contract wasn't renewed. Up until then, DeAngelo had been nothing but an exemplary Panther, team player and a helluva running back. He was active in the community and he spearheaded the efforts that brought the entire NFL into taking part in Breast Cancer Awareness month. 

After his mom passed away, DeAngelo got hurt pretty bad by something that happened from team management, we don't know exactly what happened, but something did and DWill became pretty salty. And then he was let go at the end of the season while he, and a lot of observers, felt there was a lot of tread left on his tires (something born out when he went to Pittsburgh). And around here, the Huddle as a group just savaged the guy, pretty unjustly.

I personally hope Hurney reaches out to him like he did the Steve Smith and brings him back into the family. DeAngelo was a good player and a good guy who deserved a lot better than he got.

1 good year before his fat ass contract.

One decent year after it.

That's why we don't like him. He got fat and complacent and took snaps away from Stewart. 

He even admitted he dropped 15 lbs when the Steelers signed him. Why didn't he do that with us?

Because he stopped trying.

That's why he got savaged.

He also went on the NFL network twice and made an ass of himself and hasn't been invited back since. First time was making an argument that JJ Watt wasn't a HOFer because his stats were comparable to James Harrison in half the time... yep

And that time he tried to Say the GMFB people couldn't talk about football because they didn't play. Then it turns out that Kyle did, and he moved the goalposts and said that he didn't play in the NFL and was a huge dickhead about it. 

William's rift was self caused and from many accounts there was no love lost when he left the building.

Is it public knowledge why Barnidge quit? 

He made the pro bowl, got his fat contract and was still solid the first year of it. The browns cut him, made sense as they overpaid, and he sits out the year, also made sense as anything he would had made would have been taken out of what the browns was already paying him. 

Why did he not come back after that? He would still be a very solid second te at that point.

He probably quit because he had plenty of money and his health

Barnidge got injured. Couldn't make it back the same

      I think you mean relevant but they have been fine, the problem is the lack of in game adjustments.  He has also been just decent at recruiting.  Duke having tons of success hurts and just fine isn’t good enough at UNC.

      Tony Pauline: Panthers will strongly consider Kenyon Sadiq if he’s there @19

      I don't see it as drafting a premium player to sit and wait if Walker gets hurt. We need a legitimate swing T. Unless you have a Sewell or Slater type tackle that is pretty much a sure thing, these guys can need some time to develop year 1 just like a QB ideally should. They all haven't played the elite 5 star talent on the edge. If we think another franchise tackle has dropped to us at 19, you have to pull the trigger. The position is just too damn hard to find. If it's just a "we need a tackle and this guy has a T on the board", yeah, move on, take one in the later rounds. But if that guy is there, let him back up and learn a year, then slide him into LT on year 2 of his rookie deal.  I don't see us being able to offer Walker a multi year contract after a prove it year, pay Moton his final almost fully guaranteed year, Hunt, Lewis a center and do a 50-60m extension for Bryce. The 3 most important positions on the field are QB, blindside tackle (usually LT), and edge rusher. Those are the premium positions that cost the most and are hardest to come by. If a starting caliber talent is there at 19 you have to pull the trigger.  I understand the need for a DT and S. I've been on the C and FS train for years. If we weren't staring at a potential Bryce extension, it'd make the decision a lot easier I think. It's just with all these huge contracts I don't see how we can hedge our bets on being able or even wanting to re-sign Walker, especially if he has a bad year. Icky and BC's injuries really hurt our long term plans.  If no blue chip talent at those 3 key positions are available at 19, by all means pass and draft another position. But I think it's pretty safe to say we don't have a guaranteed lock at any of them right now beyond Phillips, and they have to be somewhat of a priority.

      Not completely accurate. I'm sure Roy is lobbying for him and Larry Brown has spoke put in support too. But Hansbrough has made comments pretty critical and hinting at a need for change. Joel Berry has gone a step further and said the standard has not been met. Scott Williams who was a teammate of Hubert's at Carolina has gone all the way and said it's time for a change at head coach.
