"We've got a little work to do, making sure that we keep DeAngelo in the fold, but with Jonathan Stewart, Mike Goodson and Tyrell Sutton, we've got guys that are very talented and that have produced at this level," Settle said. "My job is to come in and teach them the offense, then let their athletic ability take over."

Sounds like he wants to keep Williams, but also has faith in the other guys we have.

Williams is worth another 4-5 year contract. We may not need him desperately but he is important in more ways than one. I believe he can even add more ways with a new coaching staff who uses him and guys like Goodson more efficiently. With all this cap room why not? Isn't that the advantage of having such a low cap, to have more better players and isn't the low cap the entire point to the 2010 season? Can you genuinely name a offensive player we are more likley to sign that could contribute more? Doubtful. There is not good argument against not signing him unless the money would make the difference of signing someone else just as good, but that reason was taking care of by JR and the suffering of the fans.

DeAngelo is the kind of player and man that you want to build around... I know there's a lot of arguments about how RB's are interchangeable in the NFL today, and I see that, but this is a guy that can be the heart and soul of the offense.

This is the belief by many, but there isn't any evidence to support this theory. There are plenty of one year wonders, but that is all they are. Look at the history of the Panthers, DW is the only elite back we have ever had and we historically have run the ball more than any other team. Could also argue that Stephen Davis was an elite back for 1.5 years.

We have had more backs that are average than great. This is a fact.

You are a lil' confused. As the panthers were a pass heavy team until John Fox.

Stewart is a great back, but I see ya left him out of the conversation.

no one questions williams's ability. he has talent, no doubt.

it's his durability and lack of ability to play thru injuries that's the concern.

would i re-sign him. yes.

would i cringe if he has to carry the ball 200+ times a season from here on out? yes.

i agree with this

the main reason deangelo and jonathan are what they are is because they compliment eachother. stewart would not have the effectiveness he has without williams, and vice versa. the tandem is what makes these two backs sought after. i don't see stewart being the runner he is with a compliment like goodson. people think that goodson and williams are interchangeable, and that is just not the case. if deangelo were to leave to a team where he was the main event back, and with no compliment, and getting 200+ carries, he's not going to be the back that he has been here. i hope these two both retire panthers and keep a good thing going. i think it's going to happen.

p.s. i love deangelo. stewart you too.

Yeah the best thing about Williams is that he has JStew backing him up. Both are awesome backs, and would a #1 RB on any other team.

But with having them together, they don't have to be on the field every down. Both have the ability to break a run, shed tackles, and score. It is one of the best RB tandems in the history of the NFL, and to break it up would be unwise.

Especially with Cam coming in as a rookie, and still uncertain at the QB position, it is key to have a running game to fall back on and take pressure off the QB. JStew and DWill provide that, and they need to stay put.

maybe you should check davis's stats for the 1999-2001 seasons...before he came to carolina.

Why? I don't care what he did for the Redskins because I am talking about Panther elite running backs. He really only played for us 1.5 years based on all the injuries he had after his first year with us. He had close to 1500 yard that year, got injured the next year, then injured again and released. I love Stephen Davis, but don't understand what you are getting at.

I left him out of the conversation because I don't consider him an elite back. Maybe he will be one day, but he hasn't shown he can be an every down back through a whole season.

My whole point is everyone thinks that running backs grow on trees, but they don't. Prove me wrong then. Panthers have been around for 15 years....so how many elite backs have the Panthers employed?

Even if you say 3 (DW, Stew, Davis), and I don't agree with that, but for argument sake, that is only 1 back every 5 years. Actually longer than that b/c DW and Stew are playing at the same time. As I said before, running backs don't grow on trees.

that's because he hasn't been given the chance...much like williams when he was first drafted. stewart has yet to actually compete for the starting job.

you may be one of only a hand full of people who doesn't already believe stewart is a 16 game/every down back.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
