Amazing how quickly we are to start badmouthing the team's all-time leading rusher just like last year when we did it to our all-time leading receiver.

Speaking of that I just looked up our all-time leading rushers.  In a few years Cam Newton is going to be #3 on that list.

I'm gonna miss Deangelo.  Of course I know him leaving was better for the team, but I had a sentimental attachment to him as a Panther.  Was one of my favorite players in college and I had completely assumed there was no way were going to even consider a runningback in that draft.  Low and behold, I came back home late from work on draft day to see he was our selection... I freaked haha.  I was one of the people who thought he should have won the Heisman over Vince Young and Reggie Bush.

​He was a good player and a good person as well. I wish him the best.

The truth is that he, along with Smith and Charles Johnson were lucky enough to be in a contract year before the 'lockout' and they were paid way too much money because the fanbase was complaining about Jerry Richardson going cheap and not spending money for a championship run. 

 

I am glad we are past all of that now. Yes C Johnson is still oon the team, but he has honestly earned his 'oversized' contract with his consistancy and he is actually underatted as a pass rusher and a very good run defender too.

There is simply no way I would ever blame the fan base for Marty Hurney being the idiot he is and putting these ridiculous contracts to paper for DWill, Johnson and (still on our books) J Stewart.

Smitty at least earned his contracts, like CJ.

Huddlers would do the same thing to Cam once his contract expires years later and signed by other teams.
