Don't cut: DeAngelo Williams

The Panthers have 47 running backs, and they have work to do with the passing game, which is why they also have a new GM. But they should at least look to restructure the deal of the back who was easily the best one on the roster in 2012. Cutting Williams saves about $4.8M against the 2013 cap, but Jonathan Stewart and Mike Tolbert were far less efficient.

I ve seen tons of arguements for why we should cut him. But very few saying why we should keep him... what say you

When this team will be a legit title contender in a few years, Deangelo isn't going to be the RB of that team, it will be Stewart

So just get rid of Deangelo now, save the money, use it where it's needed more than RB, and let Stewart grow along with Cam and the rest of the offense

Stewart cant even stay on the field, why should we put all our chips in him?

Before this season he missed two games in his entire career

Then he had both a high ankle and regular ankle sprain on the same play that essentially finished his season due to our record, I'm sure he would have been able to play had we been in the playoff hunt.

Put the chips on the OL and it makes less difference who you have back there--Tauren Poole could average 3.5 yards a game like DW did. Most RBs hit the wall at 30, and DW is no different. If it were up to me, I would rarely sign a RB to a second contract. There are too many decent backs out there, while good OL are hard to find.

(As for the ever so humorous attempt to derail this thread by a moderator, why are some of the moderators the biggest pricks on this forum? Sorry in advance to all the kids out there trying to discuss and learn about the Panthers. There are some unbalanced dweebs who were not breast fed that feel a need to measure their self worth by throwing zingers at others to get pie from other pricks. In person, I doubt they are like that at all because their employers, probably all a part of the dynamic fast food industry, do not have dental plans for part timers working their way through CPCC's GED program.)

I'm all for deangelo staying. We just need to give him more carries. I hope this year we lean more on the run game and use play action more. I honestly believe that if we run deangelo right, he will have a 1,000 yard year. He is nowhere near being finished. About the cap? That's not my job to worry about it. I'll leave that up to the powers that be.

      Joe Person: Panthers really like Mason Graham and Jalon Walker

      I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.

      Depends if they see the writing on the wall with their roster and contracts and decide to bite the bullet and begin a complete rebuild and roster overhaul.  I have no clue why some franchises (IE us) refuse to do this and keep half assing trying to win 8 games or so.  Do it correctly, take your lumps and build a contender.  We shall see what loomis decides.

      Each team plays 17 games.  I do not see why they don't just have each team play one international game per year.  Neutral site game, 8 home, 8 away.
