In some ways Williams looks worse than Fields did. He's more decisive but his deep passing is equally as bad.

Thanks. I think so too, Moore was Fields' go to guy I didn't know about the Williams/Moore connection.

Moore will still be wanting to hurt us too. I haven't watched any Bears really, is Williams looking for him like Fields did?

I think Legette can be that (40 yard runner) he has that straight line, just point him north. 

I learned 250 yards a half and very paltry rushing totals for Atlanta. They don't care about being balanced I guess. Or their defense is that bad. I only watched a little of it.

Moore dodged a bullet. He could be pissed or just relieved so IDK but I'm expecting a good game from him.

XL is fine but I'm not sure he will be an good route runner and solid all around WR. Maybe more like Evens which is great as long as he has the Moore/Johnson on the other side. The body catches need to be fixed though. Not impressed with those tendencies.

Atlanta and Tampa are doing anything to win the South crown. Neither are great teams but have some good qualities. Both are so beatable and I wouldn't say either one is a real contender. Saints are in the same mold IMO.

He is the most targeted guy on the team but has only amassed 22 rec. for 189 yds and 1 TD on 34 targets.

I really do think people are underestimating how pedestrian Williams is. 

I am not even remotely concerned about facing him.

I would take Fields personally. Williams needs to work on his technique but he is also a bigger diva IMO.

I thought why am I asking when should just go look. I did. He doesn't have 200 yards on the year and Williams' numbers are bad.

CMC sounds about done so that magic was amazing but also not for long. Moore for sure tho. I still can't believe they traded that good of a player on that good of a contract. Seeing him on the Bears is going to just stink this Sunday

When you watch Pitts / Robinson / London run out there for the Falcons, you can't help but feel we used to have that, but we traded them all away.

Been saying this for years. We had elite talent on offense at the skill positions. We traded them all away for basically nothing.

CMC was understandable. DJ Moore far less so.

My issue is less the unloading elite talent but the utterly futile attempts to replace it.

Trading away Moore for what we did was absurdly stupid.

Other than that if you undo the McCaffrey trade you also undo all the progress we've made along the offensive line because we could not afford to sign Hunt and Lewis and keep CMC while he inevitably ended up injured and wasting a huge chunk of our cap anyways. Some of you literally don't even understand what the hell you're advocating for lol.

Quality coaching can change a great deal. Let Canales work.

It's easy to take Fields on a competent team with much more experience. But if you watch the Steelers play, it quickly becomea evident he is the most limiting factor on their offense.

It's still possible for Williams to ascend to elite status, although he looks shaky early. I think that matter is thoroughly settled for Fields. He just is never going to develop elite QB skills. Not to say he can't be a good starter in the NFL eventually.

I think Williams deep ball issues and divaness is going to be larger issues than Fields ceiling. I just don't see elite in him either. Going to see a lot of hom on Sunday but so far I just see the elite on any angle with him.

Hated getting rid of Moore and not trying to draft another guy like that after missing it for so long before him. CMC just made sense to me even if it wasn't fun. Hoping Sanders can be that TE we have missed since Olsen left.

I can't throw the towel in on Williams just because he is only 4 games into his career. I do think he would be better served being behind a vet for at least a season like Maye is. 

It's just a devil you know versus devil you don't argument with Fields and Williams.

    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ    
    • I don't know. CMC is like others and may have lip serviced that line of " I had no plan or wanted to leave Carolina" I think he even said he bought a house too and wanted this to be home.   Here's what I heard- In a way Panthers org gave him a test and he didn't "fight" back. They approached CMC and told him they wanted to put him on IR since the "season" was over or out of playoff reach. CMC didn't fight it one lick and agreed. They secretly wanted him to kept playing or want to, but there was no kickback. I honestly don't know if its real or not, 5th hand information type deal doing on. Yes he had bruises and pains, but was able to play...... but went along with Panthers staff. Odd to be playing games with star players, but whatever....   Plus the staff doctors found out about his tendinitis and there was nothing to fix it. Even with him missing time, it was the best move to trade him before he got inflamed constantly.    Lastly, its mostly time a combo of stuff, Fitterererere did not sign him to be the highest paid RB. That was classic Marty "give me a" herniay doing. GMs have different values on roster spots and rumor was Fitterererer was one that didn't want to pay RBs. For all his faults, he's right about that......
