Should he be restructured or be released after this year? I would have thrown traded into that scenario but no one will take on his salary. We obviously do not utilize him....sucks on both sides. He isn't given every opportunity to prove himself and we he is given opportunities he looks pedestrian.

i still can't believe we re-signed him to the contract he got...way to go marty...we keep our core even when it makes no sense

i partly blame rivera too...he knew what we were gonna do on offense and he should have made it clear to marty that deangelo would be under-utilized in this offense...could have saved us some money

They must have thought Williams would average 10 yards per carry with his 8 touches a game. At times during the Fox era, I thought they mismanaged splitting carries between D-Will and J-Stew. Yet this coaching staff takes the cake in mismanaging these two backs.

I think we did overpay but the bottom line is our OL has fell short in run blocking.If we want to run we better get our OL sured up.We have really screwed up betting on Otahs health improving year after year.It is time to bite the bullet and get a tackle who can get it done.

I don't get why they keep running DeAngelo right up the gut. He's never been a smash mouth back like Stewart. Williams' bread and butter is finding an angle off the corners, or a lane to dart through, cutting and weaving to pick up yards. This season all they seem to call for him are plays where he's butting heads with a 300lb. nose tackle while a linebacker comes flying in over the top to stop him cold.

Stew looks worlds better. I cant even understand why they dont use d- low in the passing game.we need to get him to the edge more often to. To much raming him up into a hole that just isn't there. He's at his best when he gets up 2 speed. I even like to see more of that nifty pistol set we were using. Hell they were running cam on naked running plays anyway, why not give him the option? I havent seen that formation where he and stew were on the field at the same time in i while. It was giving teams fits and they just stoped using it?

Deangelo just.....sucks. He doesn't even cutback like he used to, nor can he pick up a blitz and even if he does he can't block.

I'm torn... he hasn't looked like himself this year no. Last year, it took him until the middle of the season to get going good too though... my fear is that if we get rid of him, and we have another injury plagued year at RB, then what do we do?

From what it looks like our offense wouldn't miss a beat.

I think many for get Rivera's early presser where he stated this would be a Cam based developmental year. I remember him saying without OTA's and training camp we had to get Cam reps, and as things stand I believe that is why our rushing game has suffered as a whole. Williams and Stew have both had moments, and are averaging decent ypc.

I just think that our focus is on the passing game and getting it installed more and more each week. I'd be willing to bet we'll be quite surprised with next seasons running game. Though when we do run, I would like to see us try to hit the edge a bit more.

Stewart still looks noticeably better on the year......so OL can only get so much blame.

      Why do people think Bryce Young won this game yesterday?

      By Mage · Posted

      Who is "they"?  Who in the media still argues that Bryce Young could reach the levels that people thought he would before the draft? I mean, nobody is going to come outright and bash the kid.  By all accounts he's a good dude and I think that is why you don't see the media come after him like they did Zach Wilson.

      It started during the Denver game after that first drive. i don’t think the panthers got a first down again until the fourth quarter.

      QB 2026 (For the Young Haters)

      By Mage · Posted

      The Panthers will finish with at least 7-8 wins.  So that leaves them with only two "smart" choices in my opinion: 1. Sign a reasonably priced free agent QB and see if they are better than Bryce Young in training camp - The issue is there will be very little options.  There is almost no way the Colts let Daniel Jones walk.  Rodgers, Flacco, and Wilson will likely retire (and is Wilson better than Bryce anyway?).  Winston is under contract with the Giants for another year.  That leaves Mariota, which I'm all for, but the Commanders will make a big push to keep him given Daniels' injury history.  Outside of him, there is literally nobody else. 2. Stick with Bryce Young for one more year - Nobody wants this to happen, but the Panthers won't be in a position to draft one in the first round and it isn't a strong class to begin with.  Mendoza, Simpson (and do we really want an Alabama QB?), and Moore will likely all be off the board by the time we pick.  Bryce isn't good, but we are still 5-4.  I'd rather continue to build the rest of the team than reach for a QB.  Then we could set ourselves up nicely in 2027 to make a splash play if we choose.  This is how we should have approached years past; stuck with Kyle Allen or Sam Darnold or Teddy Bridgewater and kept building the team until we were ready to make a splash.  But every year we panicked and did something stupid. There is the idea you could throw a dart at a guy in the later arounds, but IMO this just isn't a good QB class and odds are it will be a wasted pick.  I still think we need a lot of depth on the defense.  I'd rather focus there.
