Is re-signing RB DeAngelo Williams smart move for the Carolina Panthers?

Your talking about statistics from over a year ago. He's now been hurt twice now and has 1 (ONE) RUSHING TD in his last 14 games. 4.1 yards per/carry this year and 1-100 yard rushing game in his previous 12 contests.

Those are updated stats, not dwelling on what he did over a year ago and certainly not what he did in 2008.

Someone tell me what he's done this year (something noteworthy besides his 39 yard run vs. the Saints). I think some of you are in denial about this guy, he's not as good as you think he is.

Williams and stewart's production have been down not because they aren't as good as the last few years, but the 1 dimensional offense, and with bad O-line blocking, they haven't had a chance to run the ball effectively yet.

But I agree that running the ball 3/4's the game isn't getting the job done.

I'm sorry but DeAngelo is soft. A foot sprain? Are you kidding me? A foot sprain?

Look, I'm as big of a Carolina fan as anyone here but what is this guy thinking? I agree that this might be a good chance for J-Stewart to get rolling but D'Angelo certainly isn't rolling either, and he hasn't done much for awhile now. Yes, his 2008 season (the 2nd half of it was very, very good), but last year he wasn't dominant and then he got hurt and barley played for the final 5 games--now he's out with a foot sprain. Weird how Brett Favre plays with a broken ankle in Minnesota and our #1 RB skips the game and misses the flight due to a "foot sprain".

I have no clue why we didn't trade him before the deadline, everyone see's what Stewart can do when he gets the full share to himself and it probably helps having all the carries getting into a groove.

In my opinion DeAngelo is not only soft he's close to be very over-rated in my estimation. He's not a top-tier #1 RB, he's had a lot more bad games (ie costing us the game vs. New Olreans) than good games.

I'm not saying, just sayin

Your soft.

Just sayin

Propacky takes the cake for dumbest huddle poster. Pat yourself on that back, that's quite an achievement.

Can you not comprehend that the running game in general is suffering, not just Dwill himself? With our O-line playing like garbage and Moose and Hoover's blocking experience missing, our run game isn't getting the holes it used to.

By your rationale I guess Steve Smith sucks too since he hasn't done much this season. To criticize Dwill for his TD's in the last 14 games is just dense. Let's just forget all the huge gains he gave us for the 5 yard TD's Stewart plowed through for. But TD's is all that matters right?

We have 4 good RB's, why force him to play on a hurt ankle when we can let him rest and heal it fully?

I hope you're just drunk and not as retarded as your posts make you seem.

I'm a diehard Tampa fan and I know exactly how dangerous that D-Will is from watching him... I'm not bias toward talent and would have loved to see D as a Buc for sure. D has potential to be a top back IMO. I had D as the top back 2 years ago when he was busting loose, even sharing the load with Stew.

With as much as AP was fumbling and before CJ really broke onto the scene, had D had 400+ carries... He easily could have had a 2,000 yard season.

Carolina just needs to continue to build their D and offensive line.

absolutely he should be re-signed. letting him leave does nothing to strengthen the team. he won't hurt the cap much at all by keeping him. there is lots of cap room to keep him. the next couple years we are going to be dealing with a very young and inexperienced QB and you have to have RBs that can run the ball well over 550 times in a season. you limit your ability of ding that dramatically by letting either one of those guys go.

you can't and you won't make the team better by letting him go. it's foolish to think otherwise. if they can keep both then they should.

I would not resign him. He is a good back but he had the knee injury in college,(one for sure, but maybe two) more all purpose yards in NCAA history than anyone ever and more 100 yard rushing games than anyone. The guy has a lifetime of rushing at a very young age and running backs wear out quick.

      You're correct. But PFF does indeed use advanced stats to come up with their grades. Not trying to turn this into a debate about PFF (at all because it's been done ad nauseum), but here is how PFF explain it:   GRADES VS. STATS We aren’t grading players based on the yardage they rack up or the stats they collect. Statistics can be indicative of performance but don’t tell the whole story and can often lie badly. Quarterbacks can throw the ball straight to defenders but if the ball is dropped, you won't see it on the stat sheet. Conversely, they can dump the ball off on a sequence of screen passes and end up with a gaudy looking stat line if those skill position players do enough work after the catch. PFF grades the play, not its result, so the quarterback that throws the ball to defenders will be downgraded whether the defender catches the ball to notch the interception on the stat sheet or not. No amount of broken tackles and yards after the catch from a bubble screen will earn a quarterback a better grade, even though his passing stats may be getting padded. The same is true for most positions. Statistics can be misleading. A tackle whose quarterback gets the ball out of his hands quicker than anybody else may not give up many sacks, but he can still be beaten often and earn a poor grade. Receivers that are targeted relentlessly could post big-time numbers but may offer little more than the product of a volume-based aerial attack.   So PFF uses stats to come up with player grades and rankings.

      Not even what that's about. Moreover, remember that search engines are a tool.
