How long do you give Deangelo Williams?

[CRA]

Give him TIME. He will earn his money. Some of you forget just how good Dwill is. Give it a few more games and see.

at 28, with Stewart on the roster, and an updated NFL offense......it is simply impossible for him to earn his money.

Losing a FA isn't a fiasco, it happens to every team every year.

Yet few are as hated as Peppers now.

The fiasco being the team going out on a limb and trying to take care of Peppers, even when he wasn't producing. Yet he still chose to move on, which even though "business is business" (the common cop out), there was still a sense of betrayal.

By paying, they have shown the young guys that should they produce and be a great team member then they will be compensated when it comes contract time.

Better than how NY handled Osi and undermined the locker room with concerns over whether or not the font office will screw with them when it is theory turn

The guys loving this deal also loved the Delhomme deal.

[thefuzz]

This was a bad deal then, and it's a bad deal now.

Paying aging RB's top tier money is not something that a winning Front Office does.

[Panthro]

Please, these guys will get to wear their Dwill jerseys for another 5 years and that is all that matters.

[Dpantherman]

I don't love the deal, but what's done is done.

No.

exactly. and when they have another young former 1st round stud on the roster.......it just makes the front office look more foolish.

I like that you are a curmudgeon 24/7.

We have differing opinions which is fine. If you had simply said that without trying to apply your "logic" I wouldn't have to sit here and try and understand it. Thus coming across as a delusional assuming SOB is unavoidable because what you say makes absolutely no sense.

different opinions are fine.

You were here in 05'. When we ran out of running backs.

I understand we're a verticle attacking offense, but don't downplay the importance of quality depth at a skill position.

As far as your following posts about the contract...you telling me you felt williams didn't deserve an extension years ago? I find that difficult to believe.

A contract is a contract.

Most fans don't like it..but it's also my opinion that the majority of fan are missing the boat on most contracts.

Williams was rewarded for what he's already done, plus keeping a position of strength, a strength.

I don't expect everyone to understand and agree, but the concept behind it isn't rocket science.

[Panthro]

To me it's more about diminishing returns.

[SmootsDaddy89]

you're right. Quality depth at such a skiill position is a luxury, until your top 2 are hurt....then it's no longer a luxury.

I understand, fans would rather weaken a team, then to keep one of it's strenghts.

Great debate.

You and Ann Coulter would make one hell of a debate team.

Then let's get to the heart of the problem, the oline run blocking.

Goodson and Stewart both ran better in 2010 as well.

This trend for Williams dates back farther than 3 games.

historically, the running has always had slow starts to the season, even when it was fox ball. Regardless who the runner was.

Take into the account that we've already passed for over 1000 yards, the runing plays are fewer.
