"He is the kind of runner that you want on your team," said an AFC personnel executive. "He is explosive and instinctive. He is strong enough to take the pounding, but also has the speed and quickness to take it the distance. People always talk about wanting 'big' backs, but he is the type of back that you build your team around. "

Awesome article talking about why DeAngelo is flourishing this year.

I am no Delhomme hater, but imagine if we had a stud QB to compliment the running game.

No, I am not saying number 17 is bad, he is good, but I would love to see a stud.

I'm not a 17 hater either, but his antics have held us back recently more than helped us.:driving:

He runs with such power and balance when he is low to the ground. Having two great backs isn't something I am accustomed to. I wonder what the future holds.

The future looks very bright for this running game, and the team in general. We are young and talented at many of the key positions, and are set up to be a force in the NFC for years to come.

If we had a stud QB we wouldn't be fighting for 1st place this week we would own it already.

Or if the defense hadn't given up 45 points two weeks ago, or if Marshall wouldn't have bounced harmlessly off Harry Douglas, or if Goings had picked up Winfield's blitz, or if Rosario would have blocked better for Baker and not let his man come untouched into the backfield, etc. and so on.

The point is, you can't point to a single player and say "it's all his fault". But someone always will.

      I respect Deion but I said and thought immediately when he was hired there he would not be the coach after 3 seasons.  I don’t see it happening

      As fans have we unanimously concluded that Bryce Young IS THE PROBLEM

      If my reply comes off argumentative, that is not my intention so please don’t take it as such.  You said one word, probably subconsciously, in your post that immediately disqualifies him from being a QB in the NFL. You actually said it twice. Kid. It’s exactly how you see him, and exactly how the rest of the entire NFL sees him as well.  Yes, he is a kid, he looks and acts like a kid and that exactly IS the problem. The NFL is for grown ass men. Period. Hell, our kicker looks like he collects ‘taxes’ as a side hustle. These are straight dudes. Men.  Nothing in his persona changed from last year to this.  Nothing in his physical stature. Nothing. He has shown 0 development. 0. And he disrespects the entire organization, talking video games and Netflix in the offseason. Bro. Really. My man Chuba is busting his ass to look good for his second contract. Set himself up for life. How many RBs make it to even sign contract #3? First 2 games he has to run in to a brick wall continuously because Netflix can’t even get it over the LOS.  He’s a kid who pulled off the biggest heist in world history. He looks happier on the sideline goofing around than he ever has looked on the field. It’s time to cut bait.

      I hear you and I can imagine it's frustrating as a fan, but UNC-CH leaving the ACC would be throwing away over a century of history. It would really suck if y'all, or Clemson, or any of the other remaining charter members leave. I still think it sucks that Maryland left as well. Feels so wrong not having that rivalry anymore. Maryland fuging hated us and I loved it. Who's Maryland's rival now in the big 10? Rutgers? lol. Also, I think that the Heels are more likely to be Kentucky 2.0 than you are to get serious about football upon joining the SEC. Both UNC (and also Duke's) administrations seem very stuck in their ways with sticking to their ways and remaining basketball powerhouses. I do wish we could see NC teams actually competing in my favorite sport sometimes but alas. I personally value keeping our history intact over trying to become top flight CFB programs because nowadays it's just a pay to win sport anyways. Even if UNC-CH got serious I doubt they could compete with that Texas oil money, or that Oregon nike money, or that USC rich kid money. That's all top level college football really is anymore. You're either an established blue blood or you're willing to waste tons of money that could be spent on education rather than football.
