DeAngleo Williams thinks Jake should remain starter

[X-Clown]

Let me preface this by saying I was ecstatic when we drafted Deangelo, that I wanted to run with scissors pointing outward towards John Fox the entire 2007 season for starting Foster, and couldn't have been happier when DeAngelo went bananas in 2008 and had the best season ever for a Panther running back while completely shutting up all his doubters.....buuuut I've gotta say it since no one else has.

I wonder if it's a coincidence that Deangelo makes these comments when, like Jake, his backup came in and took some of the spotlight away from him with his performance in the last quarter of the season.

EDIT: Before some of you read too deeply into that statement, I am not comparing the wide gap between Jake and Moore's play to whatever gap may have existed between our 2 starting running backs.

I can see your point, but I really don't see any animosity between #34 & #28. I mean, between their doubletrouble website, them constantly being together on the sidelines, etc.. they seem to genuinely like playing with each other. they are both smart players, and know that they make each other better.

it seems every game is a constant never ending battle for the starting RB position. they each pull off insane plays that just make your jaw drop all the time.

:mad::mad:

wtf i log on from a long day at work, getting ready to go to bed, get up early for more work. decide to come check a slow moving offseason right now on this site, and the first thing I see is this..... all I read is the first couple sentences .......... i mean.... wtf

J.Stew has officially took over my number 1 liking RB on this team

These comments being made public is NOT good for our team heading into this upcoming season

[beastson]

I am shocked as hell right now man. Plan on just laying down just got messed all up. This has COMPLETELY awaken me

Its SOOO MANY reasons wrong with this statement and the timing of it. I really dont have time to just go in. I mean we're in the motions of the Pep situation and this come out

Its early as hell, and bad signs already is showing up. What's next is the question. Cause I know something else is coming... I know it

[Metal_Sparty]

Easy there guy, just breathe in, breath out, breathe in, breathe out.

Well this is the 2nd time DWill has said something like this about Jake.

I'm not saying there is any animosity between the two....Still though, #34 will potentially be a free agent this year and until Stewart went nuts in the last few games it was widely accepted that Williams was the better back by a reasonable margin. Stewart is younger and was running behind a line that was missing an All-Pro left tackle. With running back being a position that has a short shelf life, you have to wonder if the comment below didn't just apply to Jake.

The nature of the business is they want you out because they think the guy behind you can do a better job.

Good man, he said exactly what I would expect a good teammate to say.

You guys take articles like this way too seriously.

[Davidson Deac II]

He is supporting a friend and his leader and there is nothing wrong with that. His comments will have 0 impact on who actually starts this year.

My biggest concern is not what Williams says, but what the coach and front office is telling Matt Moore. Hopefully, they are telling him he has the inside track to the starting role this year. They should be. They might not be saying that publicly, but they should be saying it privately.

[Argus Plexus]

What the fug, D-Will?

DeAngleo Williams thinks Jake should remain starter!

...you guys take articles like this seriously

I know. As a fan, I consider myself in this group:

Matt Moore started after Delhomme was injured and played well. That’s made him a favorite with Carolina fans.

many of you wouldn't be defending anyone else who would have made the exact same statements.

take the williams's glasses off.
