ESPN Scouts Inc ranks the NFL's top RBs

7. DeAngelo Williams, Panthers: Wow, do I wish that we all could see Williams in Green Bay this year. Instead, he is in an absolutely dismal situation on one of the worst offenses in the league. Since Williams should be a free agent after this season, next year I might just get my wish. I bet he wouldn’t complain either.

The only other RB in the NFC South on the list is Michael Turner at #8

I'm not so sure of that. I don't know that Williams wants to move on. He has been getting the majority of carries lately by far. I think they are trying to show him they know he is the man, and I think he respects that.

I also don't think the players themselves are going to be so upset over this season they don't resign. I think they all understand that he's preparing for a lockout and aren't happy, but it's not as if JR is out there with holding calls bringing back plays, false starts, having trouble getting the plays in, etc...

Ehh, we'll see. I bet he comes back, but I am a huge optimist. :P

I think we as fans give too much credit to guys being loyal. Most athletes care about two things, money and winning championships, and one of those could be along ways away here in Carolina so why not go somewhere, GB NE etc, where they are much closer to the ultimate goal.

Granted, D Will seems to be a different kind of dude. He seems to love it here in Carolina and is great with the fans and the community by all accounts and hopefully they can convince him we will be winning in the near future.

    • I am not sure it should be a ‘sell out to go to the SB’ season. And hope they don’t.  At the same time I was thinking you absolutely must find out if you want to pay for Bryce or not. That means putting it on him. No protecting and trying to hide weaknesses with the run game and a super conservative calls.  So I wish they would do it and find out, win or lose, 2026. No more developing. Time to do it. Let’s see once and for all. 
    • My biggest fear with Bryce Young is that he will always do just enough to stick around. He shows flashes and then drops a turd so the hopium is always there. Like his career highlight reel if you cut it up to some hype music and did a YouTube video would actually be quite good. His great plays really, really look good. But after that video you look at his yearly averages for completion percentage, yardage, touchdowns, and virtually every other metric and it is meh as fug. Like you know Bryce is gonna be 13/23 for 157 yards a touchdown and probably a pick.  I will 100% give him his flowers for his athleticism and ability to scramble outside the pocket. I haven’t seen the mythical “super processing ability” he was touted for per se, but he has shown flashes of absolutely elite awareness when it comes to scrambling. The little basketball move he does to shake defensive linemen has almost become a signature move. It’s hard to explain but you know it when you see it he stops on a dime and pivots like he is gonna hit a step back jumper and it has gotten him out of a lot of trouble.  I sincerely, truly, as a vocal Bryce HATER, hope that since we are obviously running with him next year the coaching staff actually tailors plays around his strengths. He needs to be in a pure spread IMO. His size is much less of a hindrance when he can play QB in open space. I feel like most of his highlight reel is from scrambles and play action/bootlegs.
