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

Stewart is the replaceable of the two...34 has more vision and explosiveness. I'd like to keep both, but if I had to pick, I'd send 28 packing. 34 can get it done with the help of goodson and sutton.

Stewart is a good bit younger and hasn't missed a game. If I had to pick one to keep give me the younger RB.

DeAngelo Williams is not a top-tier RB, I'm sorry. But when your 1-5 and your starting #1 RB has 1 TD and is averaging 4.1 yards per/carry.....your not very good.

The guy has 1 rushing TD in his last 14 games (FOURTEEN GAMES), he hasn't run for 100 yards in a single game since week 11 (in 2009). He's now missed his first game in 2010 after barley playing the final 5 in '09.

I'm sorry but what am I missing and what are you seeing, besides living off his monster 2008 season. I know a few other RB's who were good 2 years ago---what separates DeAngelo besides your perception?

Seriously, I want to know, what has this guy done in the last year?

wow, do you watch football? Every team is loading the box with our stellar QB play since the Jake meltdown and the fact that this season DW has over 4ypc is amazing.

Playing madden on your PS3 doesn't mean you understand football.

Keep Double Trouble together! Injuries happen in this league as we all know, and when Williams goes down (like now), Stewart steps in and there is no drop off in production.

What happens when it's just Stewart and he gets injured for 6 weeks? Do you think Goodson or Sutton as our starter/bell cow would be as productive? I don't, especially not with how the Oline has been playing.

As with any other player, resigning Williams will and should depend on how much he wants and how much we can afford. If he wants to be the highest paid rb in the NFL, then no way. If he wants top 5 money, then perhaps. Of course, it also depends on what the new coaching staff wants.

The Panthers must be procative, not reactive. However, the trading deadline is already past.

They should have been negotiating with DWill's agent early this season so they could make like the Patriots. If DWill wants too much cash, trade him like the Pats traded Seymour to the Raiders. Now, either they give DWill what he wants or get nothing if he walks. A cap friendly deal in August or September would have avoided this BS.

The Panthers need to start doing the driving, and not getting assfugged by the likes of Peppers.

from a money standpoint...the gameplan would be to let him walk so he can test the market, then try and nab him for less than the 7+million a season price tag an extension would cost.

a this point, no one is going to pay him that much.

I've seen LaDainian Tomlinson used as an example in support of letting Williams go more than once. The argument has been along the lines of "hey if the Chargers can let go of LT, then we can let go of Williams."

Anybody using that argument needs to take a look at where the Jets and Chargers are in their respective rushing games right now (and Tomlinson individually too).

      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.
