The decision to put D.Will on IR

Steve Reed brought this up in his blog last night:

–Speaking of RBs, I’m still trying to figure out why the Panthers put DeAngelo Williams and not Tyrell Sutton on injured reserve. Williams was supposedly going to miss “two or three weeks” and the Panthers needed a roster spot so they put him on injured reserve. Sutton has missed three weeks with an ankle sprain. No offense to Sutton, but if I’m going to wait three weeks for one of those two guys I’m waiting for Williams.

I assume they want to see what they have given outside of Williams, but I can't imagine D.Will would be pleased with being on the shelf for the rest of the year if he has the ability to keep playing, which could harm potential contract negotiations after the season, if there are any...

I could see this working both ways... As in we plan on letting him go, or we are keeping him as reasons to put him on IR. Hard to tell which one makes more sense right now.

I will say this, if DWill is pissed about the move, he's really good at hiding it, because I've seen him on the sidelines several times since being put on IR smiling, cheering guys on, and dapping guys up...

I don't know...

Yeah Im fine with resting D'lo. As far as him going somewhere else, I just cant see it. He is a model player and the best possible type of guy to have in the lockeroom. You just dont trade those guys.

Im still good with keeping all 3. Sign em all longterm as far as Im concerned. . . and get Goodson an eyepatch.

I've been on chat with him a few times over at doubletrouble3428.com and haven't seen any indication that he's pissed about the move...

He's not afraid to say what's on his mind during those chat sessions, so if he was pissed about the move I'd expect he would have let something slip that would have given some indication.

      No one way to do it, it does appear that with the bigger draft picks of the last 5 years…..majority haven’t steered clear of young QBs on the roster being their hopeful guy. Especially past their rookie seasons but even some the biggest ones have had it early.   As far as Andy Dalton, the two young guys he has “mentored”…..have had very rough NFL starts.  Which really ask the why the heck is Dalton here.   He doesn’t really check any box.  No young potential.  Can’t step in and win.  And his mentor track record with Fields and now Bryce is bad

      I had thought the Panthers might let him play out his contract this year and hope he stays healthy. If not draft a left tackle and move Ekwonu to right tackle.

      Frankly, if most teams in the NFL lose their starting QB for a significant amount of time, they're screwed. The fantasy is that one has a future Tony Romo or a Nick Foles that can carry a stacked team. The reality is that you might get roughly 3~5 games out of your backup before it all falls apart. Remember all of Peyton Manning's backups? Utterly terrible. Speaking of backup QB's, Raiders may need one. https://www.nfl.com/news/raiders-qb-aidan-o-connell-suffered-fractured-wrist-in-preseason-finale-expected-to-be-out-6-8-weeks
