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.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
