Okay, so I have heard people mention the normal RBs when naming the top (D-Will, Johnson, Peterson, Jones-Drew) but am kinda curious why no one has mentioned Ray Rice? He is only second to Johnson in total yards from scrimmage... being in Baltimore, I watch some Raven's games and personally wish D-Will was used more like Rice (who has 40 receptions for over 450 yards and over 560 yards rushing)... any opinions/comments?

To hell with 40 receptions. I wish D Will had caught that one pass in the end zone yesterday............

Don't you mean either of the two? either the one that would have put us up to 24 (instead of 20) or at the end of the game... or even both would have been nice...

But seriously, if you look at Rice's numbers (Rushing - 573 yards, 5 TDs, Receiving - 46 receptions, 436 yards, 1 TD)... don't you guys think D-Will could do a lot of damage in the open space? Even Bush moved the ball half-way decent yesterday when put out in space as a check down...

Both Rice and D-Will are that of the same size and speed; Rice being listed @ 5'8" 210lbs and D-Will listed @ 5'9" 217lbs...

Getting DWill receptions would mean we have to let out QB pass.... that's not happening.

DWill is great, but so is our run blocking.

Just wanted to say that. I feared him gashing us and before I could even get in my comfy recliner he is off and running. The dude is simply awesome. We can all agree and disagree on other parts of the game but one we can and should all agree on is this guy is the best RB in football...period end of discussion. He took a heck of a hit from Sharper on one of those gashes up the middle but never missed a beat. You guys are lucky to have him.

Peterson is great, but DeAngelo having 100+ yard games while playing in a totally one-dimensional offense against a stacked box on almost every attempt proves he is the best.

Peterson holds onto the ball about as well as DeShaun Foster. Nobody every mentions that though. He actually may fumble MORE than Foster.

Hummm, but not as much as Williams.

Peterson:

Carries 163

Fumbles 2

Fumbles Lost 2

D'Will:

Carries 149

Fumbles 3

Fumbles Lost 3

Peterson has three times as many fumbles as Williams over the last three years.

The running game is basically Carolina's only offensive option this year. The Vikings don't have that issue.

      Brown on BY9 while talking to Chris Long

      By cranky · Posted

      Purdy only passed for 127 yards week 18 and then only passed for 108 yards in the playoffs. In those two games he had 0 TD's and 2 INT's and a fumble. Mayes in the Superbowl had a total of 63 yards with 0 TDS at the 13 minute mark in the fourth quarter. He only had success when the Seahawks went into prevent defense. Philip Rivers only had 127 total yards in week 15. Boomer with the Vikings had 126 yards and 4 INTS in week 13. Cousins had 167 yrds week 14 and while it was over 150 yards, he also had 2 INTs with 0 TDs. Yeah Young didn't have a good game but neither did any of these other QBs. And while he had the lowest yardage, he was the only other QB that at least had a TD - Philips had the other.

      Joe Person: Panthers are NOT expected to extend Bryce Young before the 2026 season

      By CPF4LIFE · Posted

      He has to have a great year not a great few games...probably gonna have to finish with a winning record too for the first time as well. Front office has all the leverage, havent got much on the return for trading up in the draft no matter what bryce fans want to say. They have no reason to offer an extension right now. All the talk about his personality is just deflection off the talk about money. You can be the nicest guy in the world, it doesnt win games or make you a top 10 QB. They know that, spending all that money on the O line and drafting multiple offensive players in the first round of past drafts says a QB should have better production than what we have seen so far. We have to lean on a run game more to be productive in games rather than a qb we traded up to no.1 for. You can easily draft a more talented QB on a cheaper contract and get the same results bryce has given you so far. Thats the truth.
