To all the people that are under the illusion that DWill is too old, or worn down, to resign, I call shenanigans.

DWill has a paultry 13.1 average carries per game. That is a long way from workhorse numbers. So saying he is washed up, or getting old, is way out of bounds. Unless you are just using the fact that he has played 5 years as the benchmark for him being washed up. Plenty of backs routinely carry the ball nearly twice as much and can still be productive at the 5 year mark.

So, again, I call shenanigans. DWill probably still has plenty in the tank. He has never averaged more than 17.1 average carries in his career. So there is no reason to think he cannot be productive at his current level for at least a few more years. Plus he is not going to be a "Feature Back", he is going to continue to share the load. Which should just aid in keeping him fresh for the forseeable future.

There is no reason I can think of not to resign him. Unless he does not want to be here. He may be 29, but it is a young 29. Plus he is one of the most well conditioned players around.

I hope this puts to rest the DWill is too old and washed up "poo". Because he has no where near the wear and tear that people seem more than willing to bestow upon him.

Just my thoughts, and GOOOO PANTHERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One thing I found interesting while listening to NFL Radio the other day is they were talking about how the teams with good to great running games, and solid Defenses will most likely be the better teams to start the next season the longer the lockout goes along. Main reason they were saying is a running the ball is fairly simple and it takes much longer for a passing game to get into synce etc.

That being said, if the Panthers are able to keep Williams.. him along with Stewart, Goodsen etc might result in the Panthers have a much better season than many are expecting.

I like this theory.

LT is 32 and he looks just fine and he was run hard at San Diego. Williams hasn't been the lone back ever. Not to mention, he took last year off and his first two years he rode the pine. The RBs that you see retiring early are the ones that get 20-25 carries a game.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
