Why is DeAngelo being limited?

I really don't understand it. As he is one of the most dynamic running backs in the league why do we limit his carries. I believe Davidson needs to give this guy atleast 20 touches a game not averaging about 15 a game like he does right now. I understand Stewart is a good back as well but he is lacking the explosiveness this season it seems to me and keeps making stupid mistakes at crucial times. I know the offense is dismal and the o-line is looking like the raiders o-line of a few years ago but geeze get Williams the D*mn ball.

Cause Fox is ignorant.

DWill got 2 starts his frist 2 years in Carolina. 2 starts!

Look how much Fox played DWill his first couple of years, not much. When Stewart was drafted, he was going to take over, but as is Stewart's MO, he was hurt and couldn't play preseason etc. With Deshaun Foster fianlly gone guess what, Fox had to finally play DWill and hey.....he's a Pro Bowler.

One of the panthers biggest problems. identifying how to best utilize the talent on the roster.

Only one thing will change this.

you don't run when you are behind.

you don't run when they throw everything at you, blitzing the run on every down and making it unproductive

you don't run as much when you can't get first downs and you are off the field two minutes after you step on it.

until the passing game improves and we stop falling so far behind, we will be seeing nothing more from the run game.

Yeah, they shut down the run...then all that's left is passing, shut that down cuz there is no running game and that's game.

Everybody seems to see we need to pass first then run, but Foxidson ain't changin'...so we get what have, 0-5. And the worst O in the league and I don't even think it's close on how bad we are.

passing game has to open up the run.

btw...foxidson you should get that copyrighted if course next year no one will care.

I'm not complaining I just believe DWILL deserves more touches. Atleast he can make plays and bounce around. I understand in certain situations that we won't run. But several times this season when we are still in the game early we have abandoned the run and had a turnover. Why not give williams the ball more instead of stewart fumbling or us taking sacks and having to punt? I've seen williams make a nice run and then take him out and then something bad happens. Coaches should look at that

he deserves more touches...it just ain't going to happen and it isn't going to be as good as it should unless the passing game improves and we can get some first downs.

we really only "abandon" the run when we constantly run into a brick wall on 95+% of the plays.

You guys are crazy. Clausen passed 22 times and many of those were throw aways on broken plays. The running game isn't working because it's way too predictable, but not because they aren't running the ball.

As someone said the passing game needs to open up the running game at this point in the season. The first step in that is fixing the 0.5 average yards on first down.

      Thoughts on using AI for drafting?

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.

      Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
