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.

      Passing yards per game leaders

      I mean it's not even like this was his worst game of the season... I'm not done with him by any means but this feels more the norm for him than the exception:/

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

      I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...

      Would you trade Ickey

      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.
