Evidence that D-Will will remain a Panther?

Recommended Posts

Per Rotoworld:

Over the past few months, Klis' colleagues at the Post have repeatedly painted the picture of Moreno as a third-down back under new coach John Fox. The gears changed Thursday, with Klis suggesting the Broncos will add a "1B-type" of back to "complement" Moreno. We're not sure what's changed, but it could be a realization that DeAngelo Williams will be tough to pry away from Carolina under a flexible cap with a 72-hour exclusive negotiating window. As we've stated all offseason, Williams may be the only available back able to beat out Moreno in a fair competition.

based on that train of thought....you could say that about every FA that one party hasn't expressed they want the relationship to end.

I think the author basically means that with our cap room we can outbid Denver and they've assumed that we will do whatever it takes to keep D-Will....not a correct assumption IMO...

I agree. But Carolina has a history of investing in guys when they should be parting ways. The reason the Patriots are so good isn't b/c they draft great with there 1000 draft picks.....it is b/c they say good bye at the right time (even to big names and fan favorites) and bring in new blood through FA imo. Belichick would have made sure Williams got traded last year.

They release players when they are starting to head down hill, which imo, DeAngelo is still climbing due to not having a ton of miles on his tires for this point in his career.

I hope nobody misunderstood and thinks that I believe we're better off with DeAngelo. I think our team is much better with him here and hope they can retain him. I just believe that this authors assumption that we will pay DeAngelo whatever it takes to keep him is incorrect. I feel 100% confident we will offer him a fair and generous deal whether he accepts fair and generous market value is another question....

I don't see how this is actual evidence.

It's not. (Thanks for the ? mark i requested in title). But, you can reasonably assume if this reporters source is reliable, then they don't believe that D-will will sign with the Broncos if Hurney is given time to negotiate with him. I don't think D-will really wants to leave and if given a reasonable offer he will choose to stay.

    • You making fun of or not realizing how important that actually is leads me to believe you don’t have either of those assets and are subconsciously upset about it, or you’ve never been in a position to be a leader and thus you don’t value good leadership which Bryce oozes with. 
    • I said this last night to family. You can look at Bryce as not a “strong and physical” presence and that’s not going to change on you can look at it, that this guy has the type of skillset that sets him up to only get better for the next 5-7 years every year. He’s not going to know less about the game next year than this year. His timing will be better, his pocket presence better (even though the guy works around a pocket amazingly in my opinion), everything is just going to improve every year and I believed he’s already proved the doubters wrong other than nut huggers on here who just want a big strong man to drool over.
    • The Seahawks won an emotional, divisional, overtime rivalry game vs the Rams on a Thursday night (Dec 18).  That gives them 10 days to prepare for the Panthers, but the Christmas holiday fell a week later--I bet they were afforded an extra day for travel-many coming back east.  Following the Panthers, Seattle plays at San Francisco for the division title (in all probability).   The Rams finish the season with games against the Falcons and Cardinals, two likely wins, pushing them to 13-4.  The Niners finish the season with home games against the Bears and Seahawks. Seattle finishes the season with the Panthers on the road and SF in California.   It is easy to see how preparing for the Panthers, during the holiday break and with the Niners waiting for them in SF a week later for (what could be) the NFC West title and #1 Seed in the NFC, could create the perfect trap game scenario.  The Panthers at home are 5-2.   In the past 2 weeks, the Seahawks struggled to beat the Phillip Rivers Colts in Seattle and then pulled off a miraculous, emotional victory at home vs. the Rams.  I am not convinced that they are as good as advertised. Seattle is a TD favorite in Charlotte.  I feel that Carolina by 3 may be more accurate.  While I am still not confident in this team's consistency and it never seems to dominate, it sure feels like a trap game for Seattle to me.  How could they NOT be thinking of San Francisco right now?  They are not used to being in this position (current players) and it is human nature.  Carolina 27, Seattle 24.
