Did we misuse money on DeAngelo Williams?

I am not saying Williams is not worth the money or he is to blame because the running game is stagnant. But what I am saying is maybe not worth the money in this system. We already had JStew under contract and could have used DeAngelo's money on say a CB.

Love DeAngelo, just wonder if the money could have been more wisely used in places of need.

[nosuchthingasapanther]

hell yes.

and i'll say it...he wasn't worth.

[Kurb]

Umm me panthro and a couple others have been saying this from the start.

Wouldn't Cullen Jenkins or Coefield look nice next to our rookie DT's ?

Or Jonathan Joseph?

DWill was a BigCat please the fans luxury signing.

I love the guy, but would rather have Stew at this point in their careers.

Not to mention we would have gotten a 3rd comp pick.

[Cat'sGrowl]

Yes.

I supported bring him back, but that's when i felt we were going to utilize him.

If he is only getting a max of 10 snaps a game with only about 5 touches, then we should of dropped the dollars on a big money defensive player.

when he's going he's a top 5 or top 10 back in this league, but you don't pay that kind of money to a RB you aren't going to use.

We will regret it, Dlo is still good, but he was never worth that much money.

If we continue to be a pass heavy team, then keeping Double Trouble wasn't wise. You could have kept one, and used Goodson. If you plan to go 50/50 run/pass, then it's great to have them both. As it stands now, we sure ain't running.

[Mvp2014]

obviously. No one is paying runners anymore. Especially 28 y/o's with an injury history. That said, I do love Dwill, its just business.

[Seltzer]

No, Deangelo is still an elite back, and even though they might have overpaid, he is still going to make plays this year.

Concerning CB, I along with most anyone who follows the team saw this as our biggest weakness and it has certainly manifested itself in the back-breaking TD's given up which are the biggest reason we are 0-2.

That being said, signing high-priced FA CB's doesn't have a great track record. Dunta Robinson never seems to make a play unless he's trying to decapitate someone. Antonio Cromartie makes Revis look even better b/c teams can pick on him so much they don't even worry about Revis. Some CB's do well in one system but not another. Drafting well at CB is the best approach in my opinion.

I do wish we would have addressed CB more. But not at the expense of not resigning DW.

[Udogg]

Then we can make that decision next year and get something sweet as far as a trade. Still to early to tell, our running game is historically slow for some reason.

[pantherclaw]

Can we hold off on these questions until the end of the season at least?

By then we'll know the impact he'll have on this offense.

2 games into the season is premature.

[Jangler]

nah, would have just got some coke and hos with the money.

But are you saying we overpaid him because of his ability/stage in his career or more because there were other pressing needs?

Personally, I feel that DeAngelo can still play at a high level and have no problem with that contract if Stewart wasn't on the roster. But with the way our offense is structured DeAngelo's money might not have been used right.

[SOJA]

I say no, sometimes the game is more about stats. d-will is a great person and a fantastic player...overreacting fans are going to freak out whenever everyone doesn't put up all pro numbers every game. give the running game time, I guarantee you it comes around

Then there's no reason for the question. It will have already have been answered. You don't ask for a prediction of a team's record after the season.
