Williams can play we just need better coaches.

Even with better coaches he is overpaid. Stewart is near his physical peak....and Williams is entering the twilight on a RBs career. No one to justify Williams getting the touches to make him not overpaid

Let's see, DeAngelo Williams career yards per carry is higher than Walter "Sweetness" Payton and lower than Jim Brown's. Yes, he's #2 all-time in that category.

But people are gonna bitch because the Panthers paid for a Ferrari and refuse to drive it anywhere but in 25mph school zones. Yeah, that's Williams fault they pay him well and don't use him right.

He isn't #2 all time in that category....

Only when you when you weed out players and only judge them on their first 1000 carries.

When you word it like that.....it sounds impressive. But Barry Sanders averaged 5 yards a carry on 3000+ carries.

Barry finished at 4.9 ypc. Sure there was a time where he was over 5 with around 2k carries, but the point is that it's a career statistic, not a snapshot statistic.

      Panthers OLB Pat Jones II makes bold claim about team's defense

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      It's not impossible to go from worst to first.  We kept Evero because anyone in there right mind knew our defense was destroyed by injuries, not the scheme.  Evero has been given a plethora of talent between free agency and the draft, not to mention getting DB back. I fully expect our defense to be very good.  I have no reason to think Jones would say something like that unless he truly felt like that.

      We would’ve played Florida and lost in the 1st instead of the 3rd round.  Montreal would have been the 8 seed.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Icege · Posted

      I can't get behind a purely subjective re-draft as a method of defining "top-10 QB" status. That invites bias based on vibes/hypotheticals and can ignore actual on-field performance. You and others have said that Bryce has to be a top-10 QB to justify the pick. That's a high bar, which I'm not against, but we need a clear, consistent way to measure it. When I bring up metrics that Bryce has registered in the top-10 in like BTT%, P2S ratio, catchable deep ball rate, etc... they're waved off as either irrelevant or the expected baseline performance. Meanwhile, volume stats like passing yards or win-loss records, both of which depend heavily on roster talent, health, and coaching, are treated as definitive. That's where the inconsistency kicks in. If no performance metric ever counts in his favor and the answer is always going to be "he should be doing that," then we're not evaluating him... we're just holding him to a curve he can't win against. If this is really about performance standards, then let's define them. But if it's just about confirming prior takes based on height and weight, then let's call it what is it and stop pretending that this is a football analysis discussion.
