If yall think Williams is walking you are absolutely crazy. They all stay except Jackson who get put on the practice squad, and then probably gets stolen by a different team.

Much as I am loathe to consider the possibility, I think that the staff is preparing for that very possibility. D-Lo took a LOT of reps in college before coming to the pros. Bringing in J Stew AND Goodson reeks of that very inevitability.

Personally, I want D-Lo to retire a Panther. In my eyes, he has a rare skillset that makes me think of Barry Sanders. You simply don't give up that kind of talent.

It will interesting to see if Jackson is put on the practice squad. On the one hand many teams don't stockpile fullbacks so they won't pick one up just because he available. On the other hand he was considered by some to be the best player of the UDFAs. Another team might very well take him and consider it a steal considering it cost them next to nothing.

Problem is that he will want a big payday and a multi year contract. He will be 28 in April and we all know running backs decline after the age of 30 for the most part. He may be exception because he hasn't been overworked still I doubt we give him a 5 year deal and someone else who really needs a running back of his caliber will likely overpay for him. Unless Richardson loosens the pocketbook a lot, it is likely that some present Panthers won't be next year.

Your reasonable post is unwanted.

DLow also got to do a lot of resting his first three years in the NFL. Last year was the first time he ever got injured. Plus he wasn't exactly a contact rusher in college, I mean he weighed about as much as AE.

Now Look at Stew, he's a physical contact rusher. He came off a turf toe injury from Oregan. Has dealt with achilles pain his entire NFL career, had some form of surgery every offseason and is currently on the Pup list.

Now take a good guess who is going to have the longer career?

Why do you think we cut all the players we did this year? Yes because of the holdout but once that is settled we will have the cap space to sign our core players.

Dwil is a team player, one of the few faces of our franchise, and a favorite among the orginization and fans.

The only way D-wil walks is if its a Peppers situation and he decides he doesn't want to play for the Panthers.

I say cut Goodson and keep Sutton. No need to carry two fullbacks or four tailbacks.

Except for the fact that one of our starting RBs has an achilles history and our other starting RB missed the last 3 games of the season last year with an injury.

Sutton and Goodson are MUST keeps in the backfield. Our running game is essentially our entire offense other than Steve Smith.

I agree. cut a WR to make room if we need to.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
