So #89 will retire a Panther and #34 will end up getting a max offer from some other team that we probably won't match.

IMO the only way I see us keeping Deangelo with the other talent in the backfield is if he gives us a hometown discount, which won't happen with a RB. However, by keeping him on the bench and limiting his carries throughout his entire career we have probably preserved him until he is about 33 as far as being an elite RB. We saw it with Thomas Jones essentially everywhere he went and his running style is way more aggressive than Deangelo.

Steve Smith-WR- Panthers Oct. 17 - 11:59 am et

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Panthers "will not trade WR Steve Smith under any circumstance."

Schefter also reports that the team is not interested in trading RB DeAngelo Williams. Smith is signed through 2012, so the team has no reason to trade the Pro Bowl wide receiver. Williams is a free agent at the end of the season, but his stock is at an all time low. The winless Panthers could dangle Smith in the offseason, but the 31 year old is constantly injured and will likely draw only marginal interest.

I hope like Hell they trade Stewart.

you hope they trade our younger RB?

one who is off to a better start to his career than anyone else on the roster?

one who not only has a high pain tolerance but plays VERY well while injured? a RB who also has never missed a game b/c of injury?

Of course people want this. They see his YPC this season and forget about the awesome end to last season he had.

      This is about getting open and YAC....and the QB we have.  You basically are just highlighting average depth when targeted vs 2 players. .  And yeah, I often say AT is a small slow reliable TE in terms of what he does for us.   That's what he is.   I think a couple of you want to make this into a Renfrow argument.   I'm a Renfrow fan.  Renfrow does not check the box of what a BY O needs either at the slot.  Renfrow just a niche roleplayer at this level.  it's easy to look up how horrific AT is with the ball in his hands and in terms of getting open.....and it's also easy to look up what a low ceiling of an offense the steady AT diet produces w/ BY.

      The one time he's actively tried to lose was the best we've ever done.

      I simply acknowledge BY is the QB.  And just like we did when we drafted him.....the type O you would need to setup around him for success was always pretty simple.  But we have done virtually the opposite.  XL dropping some passes isn't why we were ranked the 32nd O and 30th passing the past 2 years.  *Ricky Prohel was brought up only in regards to role function he served on the team.  Niche/specialist.   He wasn't eating up the snaps in the O.    AT should have a similar snap %. People could MAUL Ricky Prohel and put hands all over him.   We got to the Super Bowl in part because we were mauling guys (our slot CB).   You can't do that now.  AT has a MUCH easier life and still can't get open.  Or run.    If you live in 3 WR sets, with a weak armed QB, and you choose to put someone who can't get open or run in the slot.......well, your are going to have a weak pass O.  That's by design IMO.
