DWill has made it clear that he wants to be a Panther. I say just pay the man and keep Double Trouble together as long as possible. Getting rid of possibly our best offensive weapon makes no sense. We gave Foster a second contract, y not DWill?? He missed 3 games last year and was able to obtain 1100 yards against teams that didn't have to respect our passing game cuz of Delhomme.

First of all, if there is no football in 2011, Williams will be 29 years old in the first year of a long-term contract. RBs traditionally hit the wall then. DW has averaged over 5 yards a carry as a starter, but soon the legs go. You all think the past is the way it will be in the future and you are paranoid about the future.

We are LOADED in the backfield. What if you spent the money you would have spent on DW on 2 offensive linemen? Could Stewart, Goodson, and Sutton gain about 5 per carry?

Finally, if 2011 doesn't happen, everyone loses. Enjoy the moment. Worry about tomorrow when it gets here.

agreed that double trouble trumps any backfield combination if dwill walks. however, from the business part, zod is spot on that there is no way the two of them stay together for their entire careers. my whole thing is that if the front office plans on letting deangelo walk, why not trade him now and get that vincent jackson type of wr or beast of a player that williams can net you? nobody wants him out of a panthers uniform, but if that is the end game, and it's due to the business side of the game, why not play business and get a return for him.

The Charlotte Observer's Darin Gantt indicated on Twitter Friday that the Panthers may let DeAngelo Williams walk in 2011 free agency.

It's hard to fathom at first glance, but the Panthers are well stocked in the backfield (Jonathan Stewart, Tyrell Sutton, Mike Goodson) and have quite a few impending free agents whose extensions may take precedence. If D-Willy made it to free agency, he could theoretically become the highest paid running back in football. He's probably hoping for the opportunity.

Let's see

Invest 2 first round picks in RBs to split the load and extend both careers, then let one walk with plenty of mileage left, giving the benefits to another team. I don't see it happening.

And Bear bows suck.

      Trade Deadline Talk

      By strato · Posted

      You are too harsh. Owners tell GMs what to do all the time. It doesn’t make someone “unfit”.  A man unfit for that job could not have had that 2025 draft.  And I am not trying to be belligerent I certainly don’t feel belligerent,  just trying to use some common sense. Tepper is the last guy that wants to give up on Young. The coach had WRs throwing fits on field and sidelines in view of everyone. He had to do it, but needed permission. I just can’t buy Tepper instigating that. Sorry.

      You guys are just going to have to accept the fact that Dan Morgan is a mid GM best case scenario currently. I used to have people get very belligerent over defending Scott Fitterer too. And that's not hyperbole. People used to go to bat for that guy like he was blood related. We have a truckload invested in the OL and what do we have to show for it? The whole unit is already banged up including one of our big signings. Even without all that the group has largely taken a step back from last year in pass protection. Then you get to the QB room and there's only two conclusions you can make about Dan Morgan. Either he deliberately ignored it two years in a row on his own accord or he took orders from Tepper to do so. Either scenario says he's not fit to be an NFL GM.

      Is Canales digging his own grave?

      By strato · Posted

      Frank, ceding control of the defense in no way verifies that Tepper told Canales to bench Young.    It certainly buttresses the idea that Canales would need permission to bench him but that is as far as you can take it.    After that it is pure speculation and it doesn’t make sense.
