We need OL no doubt, but we still need every play maker we can keep!

My main problem is that since the contract it take DeAngelo 6 games to get into shape it seems.. He breaks zero tackles, accelerates slowly but then is a different guy toward the end. I just think he is a guy who naturally lays back too much and tou have to get on him early to get him to focus..hopefully(if he is on the roster) he does that from the start in 2013.

So when you pay for ESPN Insider it has articles advising NFL executives about their rosters?! Interesting..

So its like the Huddle minus the frequency.

Well, it comes free with the subscription which is fairly cheap. The only thing that I don't like about the mag is the relatively small font size for these aging eyes (but that's most print media).LOL At least I can read Insider's crap easily by increasing the size with the "Ctrl" and "+" buttons. LOL

In regards to Deangelo, the Insider is missing the mark, insinuating that J-Stew and Tolbert, along with Armond Smith will not be effective. All of our RBs were not nearly as effective as they could be during the first half of the season because of play calling. Stew got hurt before the coaches remembered the running game still existed. I would love to keep D-Will if we could work it out, but Stew is younger and stronger, and arguably a better pass catcher. D-Will's gonna have to take a marked pay cut.

Love these conversations from the fanbase.

Same fan base who fell all over themselves slobbering about "double trouble". Same fan base that wants to sign every FA and every cut from other teams.

Same fan base that is only now realizing, like Hurney who was let go, what the rest of the league already knew. Big money RB's went out of style 5-10 yrs back. Course the panthers are $50 million and 5 years late to that realization.

At this point, picking out any RB who will lead us to the "promise land" only proves that you are still stuck in the Hurney mindset.

Business, it is a business. At this point, the business view would be that you are stuck with Williams. So, trade Stewart, let Dwill thing run its course and never get in this type of bind again.

Gettleman has the right idea. Big guys, QB's, WR's is where the money should be spent. If in a few years, the league changes a bunch of rules, it might dictate a different approach, but for now, I think he gets it, unlike the "double trouble" crowd here

I agree with what you are saying but regardless of rules, you still need a good running game to open up the defense.

      Official Panthers roster cuts thread

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By carpanfan96 · Posted

      Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings.

      Because he won't be here next year, we aren't winning this year and we need to see if Renfrow or Horn can be that guy going forward. If Bryce isn't good enough to do poo without AT we need to find that out this year as well. I'm fine keeping him but his role needs to be slowly reduced throughout the year anyway so we know what we have for the future
