I remember watching the draft on that day live. And I was happy.

I didn't know of him at the time, didn't keep up with College FB then really, but we picked him, I knew we obviously needed an explosive RB with Foster. I liked him when watching his highlight reel after the pick.

So yeah..I have liked him since day one :)

well i wanted them to draft him. BUT i wasnt very informed at the time and just saw some highlights of him breakin some big plays and based my opinion solely omn that cuz i was a stupid little kid back then. so i actually predicted we would get him and was begging for us to get him at the time even though it was based off bad reasoning.. well it turned oput well anyway

I wanted him to be a Panther since his junior year at Memphis. I knew he was the real deal then. He didnt think we would get him though with the Patriots ahead of us but the stupidly drafted Maroney and in that second I knew he would be a Panther cause I thought LenDale White was a lazy fatass.

From what I remember, more people liked Maroney(sp) than D-Will, especially when the Patriots picked him ahead of us. People have this crazy notion that the Patriots always get the best players in the draft, but that's not really true. Most of their playmakers have come through FA.

    • I said the conservative play calling was because Canales doesn't think we can win shootouts. Yes, I did say part of that was because of the young, inexperienced receivers and that the OL is better suited for run blocking. I should have also included Young as part of the reason as well but I was responding to the post concerning "young receivers" and Thielens' absence. I am not so enamored with Young that I think all his problems are simply because of the receivers. I do think they overpaid for him and he has not lived up to the cost. He has had his struggles, as does pretty much every rookie qb thrown into a bad situation. But I have seen enough good things to have hope that he continues to get better. The OP is just pointing out how his performance late in the games when the game is on the line is one of those good things.  
    • I think it goes both ways  It could be they are used to pocket passers, not someone who constantly has to create throwing zones for himself with pocket movement  point being, whether it is Young or the receivers or the sun or the moon or the wind, can’t win in the nfl without the threat of a downfield attack
