For the third consecutive month, a Panther was named one of the NFC's players of the month, with the honor for December going to running back DeAngelo Williams. He joins linebacker Jon Beason and defensive end Julius Peppers, who received Defensive Player of the Month plaudits for October and November, respectively.

This is the first season in which the Panthers have earned three Player of the Month awards. They had three in the previous three seasons combined -- quarterback Matt Moore (Rookie of the Month, December 2007), Peppers (October 2006) and wide receiver Steve Smith (Offensive Player of the Month, October 2005). Williams is also the first Panther to earn Offensive Player of the Month recognition in December since wide receiver Patrick Jeffers in 1999.

Williams sprinted to the award by leading the league in rushing in December, averaging 140.0 yards per game 7.0 yards per carry and amassing seven touchdowns, including a four-score effort in Week 16 against the New York Giants. His scores capped a franchise-record streak of nine consecutive games with a touchdown.

He ended the season with a league-leading and Panthers-record 20 touchdowns -- 18 rushing and two receiving -- while finishing with a franchise-record 1,515 rushing yards. His per-carry average of 5.5 yards was best among all running backs with at least 200 carries, a full half-yard better than Brandon Jacobs of the New York Giants.

Only once in December did Williams fail to reach 100 yards -- in Week 15 against Denver. But he nonetheless capped the rout with a 56-yard touchdown run that saw him veer left, reverse his field away from the primary flow of the play and sprint up the middle untouched through a shellshocked defense for a touchdown that put the Panthers up three scores, where they would remain for a 30-10 win that clinched the Panthers' third 11-win season in six years.

      High look overview...

      Start with Bryce, this is like his rookie year. The 1st 2 games proved her was wired wrong and it looks like (we hope) he needed a time out to reset and be the player that was drafted. He's still about a year or more away from being a top 15 QB, if the Panther give him another playmaker or 2 (a top WR and a decent TE) and maintain that line. Canales deserves credit as playing that card correctly to motivate (or refocus) his QB for one last shot to decide his and the Panthers immediate future. As a Panther fans we should hope he keeps improving as we invested so much to get him. CJ Stroud will never have a season like he had, even if he stays a top 10 QB. He's got great character so I'm rooting for Bryce to continue on his positive journey. Canales is playing the week to week thing with bryce perfectly. Nothings guaranteed, earn it weekly which builds consistency and consistency is greatness.  Keep the O-line. They've got to extend Brady C, along with Mayes that have a real good 7. Great job Morgan starting with the big guys upfront.  I really hope they draft a DE or OLB in the 1st round. Getting Brown back with A Robinson and what DJ has shown that we can have a decent D-line. Need a CB in the early rounds/ or a time FA to go with Horn.  The future as to next year being good enough to challenge for the division is within reach. Just show progress (win or lose) every week. Kudos to Dan Morgan. Plays GM like a LB. Tackle the problem and move on, don't just hope it works out. Find guys with your playing mentality and work closely with your HC to share a vision. Teamwork starts at the top and flows down.

      Canes vs Panthers(Back to Back Games Thread)

      By Panthers Fan 69 · Posted

      Since we play the Panthers today and tmrw, we will have one gigantic double thread for both games. Today’s game is at 3pm and tmrw is 7pm.    After beating the Rangers and sending the those yankee bastards back to Cary, we get the Champs in the house.  Clean up the defense, no more lazy clears, and score baby score.  LFG CANES!
