Did anybody else see ESPN's 30 for 30 movie on Rickey Williams? I found it very interesting and my perceptionon Ricky completely changed for the better. I am really pulling for him this year and am glad to see him back on his feet.

When I lived in Dallas I went and saw him play in college and he was absolutely amazing. So fun to watch, much like DeAngelo actually. I miss his games and it is too bad he had this break in his career but I am sure it made him a better person.

I didn't really care about him alot until the thursday night game last year. Deangelo was miced for the game and went up to ricky afterward and said something to the extent of.."great game rick, you were my fav player growing up and the reason i wear No. 34, good luck." I have a lot more respect for him after the ESPN film..not to mention deangelo's feelings, i thought that was pretty cool.

Yeah Ricky's a super guy. I was pissed when Timmons stomped on him and tore his pec muscle. He's a very humble guy; he thought the Tuna was gonna cut him when he came in.

Williams also said he was surprised that Dolphins czar Bill Parcells didn't cut him when he took over the team last December.

"(Parcells) was describing the kind of player he wanted," Williams said. "Honestly, I had doubts if I was going to be that type of player."

Williams said that Parcells called him into his office after the team meeting and told him he was keeping him on the team to share rushing duties with Ronnie Brown.

"I was expecting him not to talk to me at all," Williams said. "I was expecting to get a letter in the mail saying I was going to be a free agent.

"I like (Parcells) more than I thought I would," added Williams, who had lunch with Parcells last week. "He's really different than I expected. It seems to me his greatest joy is developing true friendships with his players, being a mentor and trying to help people, not just in football but in life."

    • I must apologize, my sarcasm at times doesnt translate well in text form lol. At this point I would welcome us signing him, Trey Lance, trading for Jameis Winston, asking about Deshaun Watson and playing phone tag with Tom Brady before I ever fully entertain a season of Bryce Young being the defacto Starting Quarterback of the Panthers.

    • We had a QB who could do that and its the last time we went to the Super Bowl and the only time we had an MVP. Once he lost his ability to do that he was out of the league. To filter out insignificant stats I will only look at QBs who have played in 10 or more games this year. There are 28 qualifying QBs. Bryce is 25th in Air Yards per Attempt at 6.4. Only Joe Flacco, Cam Ward, and Dillon Gabriel are worse (6.0, 5.8, 5.1). Trevor Lawrence, Patrick Mahomes, and CJ Stroud are the median QBs at 7.1. Drake Maye and Sam Darnold lead the league at 8.7. Bryce is 18th in the league for passes that travel 30+ yards at 12. The median is Caleb Williams at 15. The league leader is Matthew Stafford with 26. With passes that travel 40+ yards, Bryce is tied with three others at 21st in the league with 3. Only Jacoby Brissett, Cam Ward, Joe Flacco, and Dillon Gabriel are worse. The median is a three-way tie with Drake Maye, Trevor Lawrence, and Baker Mayfield with 6. The league leader is Sam Darnold with 12. Having the ability to complete passes down the field (not YAC) stretches the defense and makes them account for more ground. It keeps players out of the box and keeps formations in nickel or dime, less line backers for your RBs to worry about. Bryce is why we have 2 losses against the Saints. If he had the outright ability to sling the football down field we beat the easily, but he doesn't. So they crowded the box and our 2 starting caliber RBs with our top ~10 Oline couldn't carry the offense to a win on their own. The limitations of the offense fall squarely on Bryce.
