How long do you give Deangelo Williams?

He tweeted that they haven't jelled yet, and that's understandable considering the new offense and some new personnel. But, regardless Jonathan Stewart has shown he is more than capable of being an Elite starting RB. Yes I said the "E" word.

So here's my question, how many games of inconsistency do you give D-Will before you consider that big contract a huge mistake? Or for the reverse question, how long until you believe he starts to earn that contract? How long until he actual breaks 100 yards rushing in a game?

I will admit I was on the keep D-Will bandwagon along with everyone else, I just haven't seen much from him since Pre-Season, and that's continued into the first 3 games of the regular season. When your rookie QB leads the team in rushing yards, you need to stop and fix whatever is going wrong.

I love watching Cam, but I don't want him to have to throw 50 times a game.

I considered that big contract a mistake a year before it was ever offered based upon reasons that have nothing to do with performance.

I never thought he'd actually not be productive.

Hurney has a literal black cat walking in front of him at all times.

once the run game gets back on track in a week or two, all these threads will disappear along with most of the criticisms for the deal he got. (of course player fanboys like number28 will always hate because they think it's a competition between the two instead of something that makes this team stronger).

i said it in another thread just a minute ago...once the run game gets back on track this will be one of the most dangerous offenses in the league.

Just a little FYI

First game hitting +100 rushing yds. in a game

2007: wk 6

2008: wk 5

2009: wk 6

I see a trend there....everyone knows he starts late....how about we wait until after the season is half over to start demanding the money back.

get out of here with your facts and such. :mad:

    • Right...I think they've done really well. No one's going to bat 1000% but they've addressed areas of need and there's no comparison to the overall talent of the team now than when DC and then Morgan got the reigns. This whole season is about seeing how much of a step up can Bryce and this team make. If Bryce can't and last year is as good as it gets for him then at least we have a talented roster for the next guy. I think we're going to be good this season 
    • I said could, not would. I recognize he has potential based on past performance. Compared to what KP has done, Howell has more potential and the physical traits to make noise. KP has small hands and a weak arm. Not something you want in even your backup QB.  I've been hammering since last off-season before we re-signed Dalton, improve the room. Other than getting younger, I don't see how anyone can say we legitimately improved the room or even tried. We might as well have signed Josh Rosen.  Dalton is still on the roster for now. That's 3 QBs unless we trade or cut him. He's still Bryce's mentor after all. Do you believe we are going to draft someone with potential and give them a legitimate opportunity to develop from the practice squad? Are we going to carry 3 QBs on the active roster? 4 for a developmental rookie? Are we going to potentially cut KP if we draft a rookie and he's outperformed? Doubtful. Cutting Dalton(if we can't trade him) and KP would be 8m in wasted cap space.  I chose Howell as an example because he showed promise in his only full season as a starter. You could plug in another name with the physical traits and potential and what i said would still apply. KP showed almost nothing and was benched. I genuinely don't care if it’s rookie pick as long as there is the potential to develop into a future NFL QB.  As much as I can't stand him, Bellichek was always developing a number 2 QB even with the GOAT as his starter. The wisdom of that was evident when Cassell came in when Brady was hurt week 1 and went 11-5 and almost made the wildcard, which 11-5 gets you almost any other year. I give credit where it's due though. Cassel and Jimmy G both came into the league as developmental QBs, potential QB1s, and went on to have careers.  You never know if you never try. KP feels like a punt in addressing the most important position on the field. Bryce has never played 2 full games of franchise QB level football back to back.  If Bryce progresses, are you ready to offer a 280m 5 year extension based off a one hit wonder year? If Bryce regresses and we need a QB in 27, are we going to trade a fortune away again to trade up to 1 to get one? Are you ready to do the past 3 years all over again?  To me, it's not about Kenny Pickett. It's about the move itself. It was a feeble attempt to improve the QB room. We better hope Bryce succeeds, because if he doesn't, we literally have no backup plan right now.   
    • IOL that early isn’t good value at all. We have a LT who might not ever be good again and a RT that might retire soon. T seems deep early in this draft, so I’d go there in the 1st.
