You guys can bash DWill all you want....


Recommended Posts

But I was honored to meet him last night at his meet and greet for Williams Warriors, his 5k fund raising team for the Susan G Komen foundation. So far Williams Warriors has raised over $30,000 this year alone for the foundation! We will also be participating in the 5k on saturday in Charlotte. Dwill is truly an amazing guy and I was fortunate to get to hear him speak on his mother and also fighting this horrible disease last night! He got emotional when talking about this season and how frustrated he was about his injuries, because he dedicated this season to his late mother. Some people transcend the football field and Dwill is one of them. There aren't words to describe what his work means to me and my family as my Great Grandmother is a breast cancer survivor. I hope we can all take a step back and appreciate what an amazing guy we have on our team! A true example of what we should all strive to be!

 It should be known that most will not give a damn unless they have had some meeting/autograph/exchange a few words with a player. Until then, the majority will see them as (heaven forbid) a player on the team and base their opinions and gripes around their play.

 

Cool you met him. He does seem like a swell guy. That said however..he isn't on the team to meet and greet with fans, and regardless of what he has done in the past...its not getting done now (which is all that nearly everyone cares about)

I don't think anyone really has issues with D-Will the players as he's still steady to very good. It's the contract that people have issues with, which really isn't Williams' fault.

As far as D-Will off the field, he's always been awesome. Kudos to him and his charity efforts

I think that's selling some fans a little short. I think a lot of fans have added respect for DWill and his fight against breast cancer in honor of his mother without having an exchange with him. But you're unfortunately probably right that the majority base their opinions on field play alone.

I think it's cool too that he's using his status as a platform for breast cancer awareness and seems like he's doing as much as he can. Much respect.

    • Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue. Compete with Bryce and draft a QB. Basically, I am suggesting that Jones has the potential to replace Dalton and compete with Young.  He is a battered stock that could get better in a better situation--that is human nature.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of immature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.   
    • I don’t get this, I know that is the popular thought process but I just don’t think it’s true.  For instance head to head last year the ACC had a winning record against the SEC.  The SEC had a losing record in bowl games. This year so far the head to head is 2-3 SEC and that’s with a fluke Vandy win in week one.  I see the ACC taking another head to head winning season after next week.  The SEC is mostly hype with 3 good teams, in my opinion.  But to say any ACC team would get exposed I believe is a stretch 
    • What the hell?  How is presenting Cam's stats hating him?  The point is not to hate Cam, it is to show you how similar Jones is to him and why you take a look at him.  I mentioned Jones has the skill set to take a look--the response is, "look at his 5 years of performance."  So I compare him to the greatest QB in franchise history, and the stats are similar--while Jones was in a worse situation.  Now that is "hating?"  Come on.  This is a meritless, ignorant, personal attack because you are wrong.  Just stop it.  You all attack the poster when you have nothing.  So saying "we should consider a guy with similar stats and size to Cam Newton" is now hating Cam and making me a Jones super fan- that is just stupid.
