No. I'm saying if Williams is untradeable I would then have no choice but to trade Stew. Common sense, no?

No, Stewart is 24 and can potentially be a beast for years to come.

Williams is 28 coming off two injury plagued season....hasn't but together a game worthy of his money since Nov of 09. Williams might be a beast for another year or so....and then is a complimentary RB. I personally, I never expect to see the 2008 Williams again....and that is the guy worth his extension.

All I know is if our run game can only put up 56 yards on the ground, is there really any reason to keep both, Stewart and Williams?

Even if we get 100....what's the point of having both when we could get some excellent trade value for them right now? I could be wrong, but I just don't really see us getting back to the point where there's going to be enough run plays to keep both of these guys busy the entire season.

Especially with a rushing QB now on our team.

I say we figure out whose going to be better for us, and trade the other one before the deadline.

really? Seriously?

After one game? Where the opposing team stacked the box, run blitz the whole game to stop our running game?

Gawd, how i love knee jerk reactions. This team isn't going to stop running just cause we are passing more. Last game it was easier to tear them up through the air. That's not always going to work. This team, and this offense isn't going to stop running. Anybody who thinks that needs to get their head checked.

The oline isn't playing bad. They actually played pretty well against arizona, considering how many guys they were trying to block.

I also love how we have no depth, cause they are young guys? Where do you think depth comes from?

Stop bashing the oline when ya obviously have no freakin' clue.

Oh, we are not trading away any running backs.

Ya don't improve a team by taking away it's strengths.

What's with the hate on D-will? It was 1 game and neither RB looked good. Since when have we ever judged him based on 1 game?

Last season + 1 game?

His last good game was against the Saints in 2009. Yeah, he broke a 70+ yarder a few weeks later against Miami, but he really hasn't done much since that Saints game.

Rushing game.

I'm thinking I may have been wrong this offseason about needing DeAngelo Williams, and preferring him over Stewart. Maybe that will change after this week's game with Green Bay if they run it more and he's successful, but I'm not liking DeAngelo's body language at all over the last 5 weeks.

Looks like Stewart is a better fit for this new offense than DeAngelo, because DeAngelo doesn't like blocking (he's smaller and not as strong as Stewart) and I don't think he likes having to catch passes across the middle. DeAngelo all of a sudden looks tiny and frail out on the field.

I expect the Panthers to focus on establishing the run against Green Bay to keep Rodgers off the field. Williams needs to start showing some life.

Williams will be fine. He's usually a slow starter anyways.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      I had started typing my post hours ago and didn’t finish it and just came back to finish it, posted it, then saw yours and saw we were pretty much saying the same thing - even the games that stick out to us most.  I don’t think a lot of people remember that SF playoff game, but I felt like I had just got mugged in broad daylight.  I remember them calling Mitchell for unnecessary roughness, and then I remember watching Boldin take a super late cheap shot, dead in front of the ref and then showing him watching the whole thing in replay…  the refs let them have a fuging field day and didn’t do jack poo, but if we so much as breathed the wrong way it was fuging 15 yards.  Each team playing under two completely different sets of rules.  poo hurt.  I was enraged.  I’ve never went back to watch either that game or SB50 and never will.  fuging robbery.

      I’ve said it a million times since, but it’s impossible to keep them from affecting the game.  In SB50, they literally took the game from us, and they did it early.  Cotchery’s no-catch?  The miraculous amount of times we converted for a first down only to have it suddenly called back make it a 3rd down and 15+ against the best defense in the league that specialized in rushing the passer and man coverage on the back end?  And you do that enough times, you kill the morale and confidence of the team you’re doing it against.  It’s telling the one team “you can do whatever with impunity” and the other “you can’t do whatever they’re allowed to do.”  It changes the aggression level.  It essentially neuters one team and allows the other to do whatever the fug they want.  Imagine you call the police for help and they get there and tell you to sit still while the other party beats the poo out of you and you can’t defend yourself.  That’s what the officials do.  There is no way to avoid them affecting the game.  And more often than not, it’s the most subjective calls they use to do so.  Even in SB50…  you saw the Broncos commit more egregious penalties than anything we did, and barely any of it was called.  Their OL was holding all fuging game and the refs did nothing.  We already had our work cut out for us against two future HOF edge rushers and the refs played to their advantage with that.  From what I remember, both Oher and Remmers were called for holding at various times and their hands were in the INSIDE of the defender.  It was garbage, but all by design. Also, if there is any video of it anywhere, go look at what the refs did against us back in 2013 against SF.  The fix was in there too.  They stepped in early and often and ensured we knew we were not allowed to play with the same aggression or intensity SF was.  It was disgusting as well. at this point, I hope Vince McMahon, errr, I mean Goodell just finally scripts us to win it, because this poo is not won via competition or off merit.

      You can go back to the New York Knicks somehow getting Patrick Ewing.  I saw a story where they place the New York Knick card in the freezer right before the drawing.  It was simple.  Show everyone the cards are undetectable to the human eye.  All they had to do was grab the coldest card. IMO ever since Goodell took over the NFL it has been fishy.  Patriots winning the SB after 9/11, New Orleans after Katrina and Peyton Manning's going away gift against us. The terrible calls during that game were blatantly one sided.  New England should have been stripped of their first 3 SB when they were caught spying on the other team in their SB wins.  I think the evidence against the Patriots was so damning Goodell felt it could ruin football and they brushed it under the table.   In the 2004 SB, How did we go from practically no yards in the first Quarter to setting a record in the 3rd Qtr.  Dan Henning changes the game plan.  IMO probably the greatest half time adjustment of all time.
