DeAngelo Williams a bad fit for the Panthers

DeAngelo Williams, running back

Ideal Fit: Denver Broncos

John Fox wants to build the offense around a strong running game with a workhorse carrying the load. Since Knowshon Moreno hasn't shown that ability in the past, Fox will cast his eyes toward Williams as his potential feature back. The former Pro Bowler has averaged 5.0 yards per carry throughout his career, and posted two 1,000-yard seasons despite sharing the workload in Carolina. With the bulk of the carries heading in his direction, Williams could lead the Broncos back into contention in the AFC West.

Bad Fit: Carolina Panthers

Williams has already spent most of his career sharing the load in Carolina, and he would rejoin a backfield with two talented runners -- Jonathan Stewart and Mike Goodson -- in place. This can't be an appealing option for a runner looking to establish himself as one of the top backs in the game.

I agree from his standpoint he should try to establish himself with another team as I feel the younger Stewart is ready to assume the starting role finally. I still hate to see him go.

Dwill would end up in the same situation in Denver as he would here. I doubt they are just going to say "hey Knowshon I know we invested a first rounder on you, but you are bad so we are going to give all of your reps to Deangelo." He would just become their Jstew knowing Fox.

They've said basically that.

I don't agree with this article.

Will we be affected by his leave? Not in the least. Should there have been some type of compensation, aside from compensatory picks? Yes, he should have been traded last year. For something like a 1st or a 2nd round pick.

I agree with you even though I have a good feeling he will still be a panther which is why he wasn't traded and tossed on IR. But honestly I think we would have been very lucky to even get a 3rd for him. RBs just don't have that kind of value anymore.

Give us Denver's next two first round draft picks for him....anything less than that i call :icon_bs:

And if Xanders agreed to that, he should be fired on the spot, except for the fact that he's a GM of a division rival - so that's Executive of the Year material there.

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      If the losses were him not stepping up in key situations then it'd be a disappointment.

      I'm well versed in the minutiea of the Canes radio broadcast system... lol I've been back in WNC for about 15 years now. And, until very recently, we would only get Predators games on the RSNs out here. So, radio was the only option for me to keep up with the team. These were the dark years, too. Maybe, once a year, you'd get to see us get smashed on national TV by some original 6 powerhouse. If you were really lucky, Jeff Skinner would bless you with one of his absolutely stunning pirouette passes to nowhere, before Wardo toppled over off his head, giving up a goal on his 70th shot faced that night for an inspiring 1-0 loss. But, that story sounds a whole lot cooler when Chuck Kaiton is telling it to you in real-time with the raspy drawl of a calving heifer! Before TuneIn or the Canes apps even existed, I used to have to find the one spot out in the back yard, where the hills and trees parted just right, that I could pickup 730(?)AM The Buzz all the way out in Catawba county. I'd sit in the shadow of the mighty Appalachians, staring out at the stars and getting high with stray cats, while being serenaded by the worst hockey you've never seen played in your life. That all, finally, started to change around the time TD bought the team. Part of that is due to the new NHL TV contracts and the constant reorganization of the RSNs themselves. Part, was me breaking up with that feral cat and moving to LKN to escape all the painful memories. The march of progress, and all that... I will say though, as much as I've criticized Dundon and as much as I loathe the existence of billionaires on principle, he has done an exceptional job of improving the fan experience, on the whole. Working with the league to expand the coverage map and bringing in outdoor games and all-star weeks has been huge. But, improving the quality on the ice (and of the ice) for all levels of hockey across the state has been even bigger! I forgot where I was going with all this, but... I'll still never forgive him for retiring Chuck K, though! HEY, HEY, WHADDYA SAY!!!!
