I should have said "besides CRA" obviously

Williams is running well.....he isn't doing 2008 type junk. To say other RBs shouldn't see the field when healthy is silly. Especially ones that have different roles/abilities.

Problem with the DWill fan club....is they take matter of fact comments as DWill hate

Well we need to give Williams, Barner, Tolbert and Stewart work when they return....and Cam needs to continue to run more.

Best rushing on Sunday wasnt DWill it was Newton.

Hopefully Barner can start doing a little something soon....I think once he starts getting on the field people will see there is a difference in burst and explosiveness

Oh just stop it.... Kendall hunter is more explosive than Frank Gore, but he isn't taking Carries away from Gore. Gore is the guy. Barner will get action and hopefully he gives a different look, but this is DeAngelo's show. If anything TOLBERT will be affected because he is barely getting Carries now. Once Stewart come back it will be him and DeAngelo. Quit acting as though ALL 4 will split Carries. Your act is kind of getting old.

Umm, that's because you do... And it is obvious you're not a fan, and quit insulting people intelligence by saying otherwise. Anytime someone has a positive thing to say about him you are there quicker than a thief in the night to say otherwise. "he isn't 2008 dlo anymore." , "Cam was the best rusher that game." You constantly say things like this and how can it be anything but hating? Steve Smith isn't as explosive anymore, but he is still damn good, but he doesn't get that thrown in his face because folks love smitty. As Jonathan Jones pointed out, " 3 games, DeAngelo Williams has 9 rushes of 10+ yards. He had 17 all of last season." That's explosion!!!! How many 10 plus Carries Ryan Mathews have? How many does Chris Johnson have. How many does Marshawn Lynch have? How many does Forte have? All of these so called backs who are better and more explosive. Just stop it. Rivera said Dlo was one of the best backs in the league once they changed the scheme towards the end of the year but you talking about he isn't 2008 dlo anymore. Get outta here with that nonsense.

Why would we try to fix something that isn't broken?

Well fortunately for the Panthers Rivera is the coach and not CRA. Because using CRA logic, Tolbert should have gotten the majority of the snaps to start the season. Got the third leading rusher in the league and he thinks the ground game is just ok. St. Louis starting back had 12 yards on 12 Carries last night but CRA is worried about DeAngelo Williams.

Tolbert won't be effected....he is going to get his goal work and short yardage.

Williams is not Frank Gore. Gore is better

What act? Saying we need to use all are RBs when they are healthy? LOL. We will need to....they all bring something different

Yeah, um....that is just false. Williams was our only option in-between the 20s....so yeah, he gets the work. He has run well doing what he does

And yeah, our ground attack has been okay. Nothing special. It has been consistent....which is good.

If we get healthy it should get better

You're missing the damn point on Frank Gore. Like you always do. When someone compare a different situation you always say that back is better than DeAngelo. Your act of belittling his resurgence over his past 8 or 9 ball games. That act. Play stupid all you want. You don't want to sprinkle Barner in. You want Barner to split Carries. And when Stewart.comes back, you want to split it 3 ways. It doesn't work that way.

Umm, yea, we have the 2nd best ranking in the league on the ground. Yea, I think it is little bit better than ok. Yea, you're a numbers guy. Look at those numbers. Instead of cherry picking certain numbers to support your bogus view. Rivera said in his presser that Cam's big day was directly tied into how Deangelo ran the ball to open things up. Yea, he isn't doing anything special. He is just out there producing instead of posting pictures of a missing toenail. Proof is in the pudding. He is and will remain the feature guy, whether you like it or not. Clearly you don't and that is too damn bad...

So...DWill is averaging almost 5 yards per carry, and 100 yards a game. But that is only OK? I sure wish he would pick it up, cuz this is ridiculous type production. Maybe when the rookie and Stewy, and his surgically repaired ankles, get back, the production will improve to better than OK.

 

Barner is a rookie. Chances are he will get a few touches. Surely that will take DWill out of the game. Um...no

 

Or Stewy coming back will just jump right in. No need to ease him back, cuz, well, you know, he is Stewy and all.

 

DWill has proven, once again, that when he gets his touches he can be effective. Sure Barner will get some touches, Stewy too. But as long as DWill stays effective, he will get his touches. It is just smart football. Our coaching staff may be learning on the fly. But they are smart enough to keep feeding an effective player.

 

CRA...dude. Please quit using your thoughts as facts. Just because you think it should be, does not make it a "Matter of fact". The only argument you have is the money. And you are the only one hung up on that at this point.

Williams is not the "Only" option between the 20s. Cam is doing most of his damage in that area of the field. Tolbert has gotten carries as well. Not sure what you were trying to say here, but it is a false statement.

Our ground attack is 2nd in the league. How is that only OK? This is just silly.

When we get healthy? You will just complain that we won't be getting value from our backs.

You have some very strange views my friend. But hey, to each their own. Hey, at least you are getting responses. Keep trying to downplay DWill. Nobody seems to agree with you, but hellz, don't let that stop you from trying.

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Then don't tune in. It's really not a hard concept to understand, if your making your decision based on your own personal needs/feelings as opposed to what is best for the future of the franchise, then it's a you problem, not a Panthers problem. When the season is already lost, every fan should be rooting for the same thing.  The team plays hard until the final whistle of the season and keeps improving as a team and individually, but in the end, we still come up short and lose games, and preferably because the other team beat us, not because we screwed up and found a way to lose due to our own fault. Look at it this way... If we are up 1 or 2 points with 3 seconds left in the game and the other team is lining up for a FG.  Beyond the joy of victory or the disappointment of defeat, what impact does the other team making or missing the FG have on our team the following season? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING Except where we draft and what teams we play due to our finish in the division. The players and coaches on the team would have the exact same level of improvement and learnings about themselves individually and as a team whether the FG is made or missed.  The ONLY difference in the end is the record in the standings and if the win or loss number changes. If you want to argue if making the playoffs to lose in the first round or just missing them is better or worse, that's totally fair and I can at least understand the other side of it.  But in what is already a lost season, if you're not hoping your team plays well but ends up losing, then you're cutting off your nose to spite your face.  You're hoping for a moment of happiness at the detriment of the franchise's future, and in turn, you're basically then happy for a moment to only set yourself up for future further disappointment.

      If we’re eliminated I want the wins more.   The season is already a disappointment and if I’m not pulling for wins why bother to tune in?

      Two things terribly wrong with this post. First is that not one time has myself or anyone else agreeing with me said that the team themselves should think that way or try and lose for positioning.  Never once have I suggested the team should purposefully lose games, ever.  I honestly can't understand why people keep saying this in posts, not one fan has ever said the players should or would purposefully try to lose. And second, is yes, that has happened and it's happened very recently.  The 2020 Bengals were 4-11-1 and then were playing in the SB the very next season.   And while it might have been 2 years later and they didn't quite get to the SB, the 2021 Lions were 3-13-1 and then the 2023 Lions were up 24-7 at halftime of the NFC Championship game. The season between those two? They finished 9-8 and only just missed the playoffs. Which is why I keep trying to compare us to the Lions in where we are at in our re-build.  Throw out Bryce's rookie year with the Reich staff who just didn't work out and he looked god awful.   This past season when we were 5-12 in Canales' 1st season is that 2021 season for the Lions and their 1st season under Campbell.  This year is their 2022 where they grew a ton and Campbell's culture building was clear, where I'm saying we'd likely be better off in the long run if we go 8-9 or 9-8 and just miss out on the playoffs (which is still a significant improvement from last year).  Then our 2026 is their 2024 when we have a chance to be a real contender after adding a few more pieces and our key players having another year of experience under their belts.
