Williams, Stewart running on supreme fuel


scpanther22

Good Read.Makes you think that both are willing to share but are the panthers willing to pay both top 10 RB money.

We’re each about 220 or 230 carries a year,’’ Williams said. “I’d rather have that than 300-plus carries a year. That wears on your legs and you’re not going to last long doing that. With me and Jonathan back there and sharing it the way we do, that’s a real treat and neither one of us is going to get worn out.’’

With the Panthers not holding a first-round pick this year, a lot of Carolina fans started throwing out rumors or theories that the Panthers should let Williams go and pick up some more draft picks. Even if an offer sheet comes from another team, that’s not going to happen. The Panthers can match any offer and they’re not letting Williams go anywhere.

Hmmmm... where'd he get that from I wonder. :rolleyes:

funny that williams realizes that when some running backs with more ego and some carolina fans can’t quite grasp the fact that less is more in this situation. williams is a restricted free agent this year. He’s carrying the highest tender and that means the panthers would receive a first- and a third-round pick as compensation if another team were to sign williams away.
wtf?

Carolina running backs DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart split carries last season and both eclipsed 1,100 yards rushing.

This really happened and I’ve still got the tape to prove it.

Yet if it had been the Steelers or Patriots, ESPN would have done a special.

I think both will be here for the majority of their careers. I actually feel that Stewart will be the first to leave.

i like his thoughts on this but he is showing his lack of knowledge. williams isn't an RFA this year.

Yea I agree with you I was like when did D-Will contract run out lol. But other then that it was a good article. I really believe both D-will and Stewart want to be the best RB duo to ever be in the NFL. And if that is the case fine by me:cheers2:!!

From everything I've seen and heard out of these guys, it seems like they truly enjoy sharing the limelight. I think that is probably the greatest weapon this team possesses.

Yea so I don't see why a lot of people want to break them up, I mean I see there logic but if both RBs are happy don't mess up a good thing.

someone wrote a column or posted in here that if they front-load Williams contract and back-load Stewarts, it's is more than feasible to keep both RB's... that's if they are really asking for a poo-ton of money.

I don't think too many people need to freak out as if it's not possible at all... sounds very possible to me.

Just like every sports writer in the world, the idea of having a running back "tandem" is still a pretty fresh one that everyone is still getting used to. The idea of the "workhorse" back is hard to kill, apparently.

    • I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive lshort or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
    • Then please take a vacation from the team.
    • In addition to his weak arm he has to compensate in the pocket by throwing off his toes due to his height. Respectfully, its a handicap.
