I can see why he is so beloved in Memphis

I said in the preseason all I wanted was for him to get a shot to show what he could do. He got that shot and he certainly made the most of it. I couldn't be happier for him. I just love the one/two punch the Panthers have going on right now!!

i'll be honest...after his first two years i thought he was majorly over rated. i'm glad that i can say i was wrong...WAY wrong on this cat. i swear he reminds me a lot of barry sanders. i think barry was the best running back BY FAR to ever play so that's high praise. he's showing phenomenal vision, speed, shiftiness, acceleration, stiff arms, power...i could go on and on.

dwill is the poo

For some reason our coaching staff doesn't believe he is. He barely got any touches through the second half...

I noticed Stewart was getting more carries in the second half. Williams just looked like the better runner today overall and I wanted to see him carrying the ball more. Exept for that one play, I dont think Stewart was getting the yards like Williams was. I hope in the playoffs when Williams is running like that, they just keep giving him the ball.

Here is the deal, right now he is the best back in the league, but he's made a lot of improvements since last year. He's more assertive in hitting the hole, when last year he would pull up and be taken down for little or no gain. On long runs he's finishing where he might have slowed down in the past. He still needs to improve his open field running but that's a minor gripe in the grand scheme of things. That's not to say you were wrong in your convictions AK, most of us knew his potential but were unsure of him being able to put it all together.

Agreed . . . I like Stewart, but D.Will should have been in a lot more. I wonder if Foxy is getting stubborn about which back "should" be the starter.

I think it was more about getting Stew involved in the game and resting Dwill. He got his 1500. No sense in banging him up. But it did put the game in jeopardy a little bit.

dwill is the sh*t

Yup, judging a guy when they don't have enough chance to show what they're capable of.

Yep and thankfully we have him along with our best WR in team history at the same time. Those are two dynamic game-changers or homerun hitters. Throw Stew in as well and we are beginning to witness first-hand the change of the NFL how teams are shifting to the "new" dominating backfields. If we can make a good showing this post season and be a contender next year, the draft will have been a huge success on a medium risk gamble.

c'mon man, cut some slack. i'm admitting i was wrong (gladly wrong, however).

dwill had quite a few opportunities to show what he was capable of but didn't start taking advantage of all of that until Vinny had a good talking to him. he's now living up to his potential and we get to enjoy the excitement.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      I mean, no I’m not going to panic when he got 2 Qs and looked great in 1 and looked not great in another (let’s not mention the drop).    Yeah we finally have a team that would be considered average offensively around him. Let’s roll this season.

      The woe is me everything but Bryce sucks mantra is stale af my friend. Look nobody here is going to argue with the fact Frank Reich was not a good head coach. At the same time. Bryce Young is now in his second season with his second coaching staff and a handpicked young offensive head coach who has been known for working with QB's such as Baker and Geno. As far as the offensive pieces around Bryce we have the 4th highest salary cap allocation (that might be even higher now after the new Moton deal) dedicated to the OL in the entire league. We have 2 first round WR's one of them 8th overall the first time we've ever selected a WR that high in franchise history. And the fact of the matter is Bryce Young did not have a good preseason. It's not the first time it's happened either. We all hope to see he and the rest of the team flip a switch in week 1. But we should all be able to agree that the offensive performances we've seen from the entire QB room (Bryce included) in preseason was simply unacceptable.

      We have seen Bryce play… what… 9 games with AT BEST what one would consider NFL average WRs? You just can’t see the forest for the trees and keep going back to your lazy take of revisionist history.    he looked AWFUL Y1 with the worst coaching I’ve ever seen in the NFL and one of the weakest WR rooms I can recall. He looked awful first half of y2 and great second half of y2 with average coaching and average skill position. I don’t know where this elite talent argument even comes from.
