I repeat, Deangelo Williams Isn't The Answer

Deangelo Williams isn't the answer. DeShaun Foster is the starter for a reason. He is obviously the better RB in practice. If Deangelo is on the bench it's because he can't get it done in the NFL and Fox knows it.

Remember that debate? Now replace Denagelo's name with Matt Moore and Fosters name with Delhomme.

While I understand your point, I do not believe that this is quite the same situation.

I am not going to all out disagree, but I think you should reexamine your viewpoint.

edit: Let me just add though that I am leaning more and more towards wanting to see what Moore can do as a starter.

remember when king taharqua insisted that deangelo william's 5+ypc in 2007 was just because deshaun foster was softening up the defense for him?

lol

Yep, which is why I always ignore his posts because even my grandmother knows more about football than he does.

since this thread's reasoning has already been ripped to part, i figured i'd go ahead and pile on top too!

williams then, had massive potential which warranted him a first round selection. moore has a very small fraction of the potential williams had. that's not to say he couldn't become the next brady if given the chance and though very likely he wouldn't be the next brady, he could be a very big improvement on delhomme. but we will never know if he isn't given the chance and since its obvious our playoff chances are over, there's no reason not to give him the chance this season to see what he has. if nothing else, it would prove that he's also worthless like jake and we can get rid of the both of them by next season. otherwise, he's still on the squad next season and if we find out then he's worthless, we possibly lose another season due to horrible QB play.

      Would you trade Ickey

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.

      We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By SCO96 · Posted

      I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
