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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

      Bryce is elite at deep throws

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I think the qualification has changed over time though. A deep ball play used to take 4 to 6 seconds for the receiver to get to that spot on the field. Now a receiver can be there in 2.5. That's less time than most QBs have to set and throw. In my mind a deep route takes time to develop. A crossing route and a deep route can't take the same amount of time at full speed. You can have 4 deep balls on the same drive,  almost 5 if you do 5 20 yard throws goal line to goal line. That doesn't even make sense when you say it out loud.

      The sad part is it looks manicured enough that he's aware it's running away from him.  Also, I just wanted to give you some fun loving grief on King Haynes today having a chance to throw a game winning TD, and was wildly errant, and ultimately picked off to end the game.  So happy I won't have to hear anything else about The Golden Calf of Bristol lite ever again watching college football.

      Greg Cosell on Bryce Young

      By countryboi · Posted

      I just think Panthers believe in Bryce far more than the fans do and he is most likely going to be the QB at least the next two seasons. the real shot of us moving from Bryce is not getting an extension, till then they are going to give him every chance to succeed and I just want to win.
