2 heads are better than one. this team is going to be running a ton the first couple years as newton gets acclimated to the pro game. that happens with any team using a young/rookie QB (well, the teams that have a clue anyway).

add a couple more games to the season and that makes for a lot of wear and tear on these guys. i don't care what stats you pull up. you aren't going to make the RB corps stronger by taking away williams, esp. if you are not bringing someone else of like caliber.

who knows, maybe Goodson is of that caliber. Let's not forget, Williams was nothing special in the NFL until 2008. I love Williams, I just think his age and mileage means he isn't worth investing much money in.

I think he can walk and the ground game not miss a beat. It never missed a beat when he was hurt.......

I'd rather invest that money elsewhere unless Williams gives us a big discount (which he won't).

What are your thoughts about picking up Reggie Bush IF, he is available with a reasonable contract. He would solve our needs at PR/KR, would be a good filler for JStew, and would work well with a new offense built around Cam. I think he would be a good pickup, but I know RB isn't on our list of needs. I do think we will bring in somebody though if Dwill walked. Bush knows he will not get a huge contract and already said he would take a pay cut. Thoughts?

Say we "let" DWill walk?

Hate to break it to you but we probably have no say other than our offer in if he walks or not. There won't be football without a new CBA. The last one allowed unrestricted free agency to those not tagged with expired contracts and > 4 years in the league. Unless something new is added, he'll be free to go whereever he wants. Speculate all we want.

sorry. williams >>>>>>>>goodson.

williams+stewart >>> any other stewart combo. there is nothing you can say that will change that.

the team is not better off without him. like i said, they might make so without him, but it won't be better.

extending the season makes it even more important that he stays.

yeah, but that is the problem w/ comparisons around here. 2008 Williams > 2008 Stewart. I agree. That doesn't mean Wililams is the better RB for the future of this franchise.

I mean Williams 5 yrs into his career is a better RB than Goodson 2 years into his career. I agree. Now, who will be better RB over the next 2-3 seasons? Could easily be Goodson, as he will be reaching his peak years and Williams will be going backwards.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
