me, but in all fairness the extent of my player analysis back then came from playing madden. i thought williams was too slow and too small. i've only known the rules of football for 6 or 7 years. i've since realized players don't have to be adrian peterson physical specimens to be great. williams is a fighter, like steve smith, and that's what makes him great.

I hated foster so much i was ecstatic when deangelo was drafted.

Like this draft, I wasn't unhappy with the pick, and was guardedly optimistic. Of course my optimism waned over the next couple of seasons, but in retrospect it was the way that he was being used (or misused, as it were). Like anyone who admits the truth, I thought that he could be a good starter, but was ecstatic when he produced the numbers that he did in '08. But, unlike some, I was still happy with the Stewart pick (and still am), and think that Stewart will have the opportunity to put up even better numbers than Williams when all is saod and done. But, D. Will has turned out to be more of a beast than I think anyone could imagine.

    • This is huge may not be a trap game but this plays a major part in what they want to do. If we can get some pressure on Sam we know what he does with pressure coming hit and heavy. Also we may be able to take the top off their defense a backup safety trying to stop TMac or Cooker over the top or forcing him to play the backend should allow us to run the ball somewhat effectively. Either they allow some runs or we take some shots and if Bryce and whoever can connect deep we’ll be in business for another big time win against a top notch opponent. Might not be a trap game but health travel game plans all play a major role in each weeks game plan and this week might be leaving our way. We’re missing some replaceable pieces they’re missing key anchors to the offense and defense major difference time to solidly ourselves at one of the top teams in the nfc tomorrow fellas buckle up.
    • Yes.  If I am not mistaken, we need to sign Coker to the ERFA tender and insist that XL spends his spring and summer at a WR camp and not Coon huntin on his four wheeler.  XL was raw when we picked him--which is why I wanted to go another direction--and we are seeing how raw.  He is basically learning a position.     The Panthers will make their move in 2026 to be an NFL powerhouse behind Bryce.  Bryce needs intelligent WRs who catch the ball.  That said, we need a solid #2 to challenge XL and make cutting him easy, if necessary.  A #2 WR (intented to be a #1 by now) with under 400 yards is embarrassing.   On offense, you have to ask, "Where can we get better?"  In my view, #2 WR, TE (although they are improving) and maybe C (again, if we re-sign Mays, he is trending up and at 26, entering his prime--I say stay with him and find competition later in the draft (not good for C).  OL depth maybe?  In other words, XL is a glaring weak spot.
