Is re-signing RB DeAngelo Williams smart move for the Carolina Panthers?

[PROPACKY]

Your talking about statistics from over a year ago. He's now been hurt twice now and has 1 (ONE) RUSHING TD in his last 14 games. 4.1 yards per/carry this year and 1-100 yard rushing game in his previous 12 contests.

Those are updated stats, not dwelling on what he did over a year ago and certainly not what he did in 2008.

Someone tell me what he's done this year (something noteworthy besides his 39 yard run vs. the Saints). I think some of you are in denial about this guy, he's not as good as you think he is.

And might wanna check your stats. He has 5 TDs in his last 14 games

[Kevin Greene]

Absolutely re-sign him, and beef up the offensive line.

Here we have a logical post.

If the Panthers don't resign DWill we will all have to watch him tear the league a new asshole for the next 4 years for someone else.

[Kevin Greene]

Give DWill a huge contract. Resign Stewart too when he's in the last year of his contract. Get Ingram with your top pick in next years draft.

Build the team through the RB position. Signed the 2nd to worst team in the league.

Yeah I hear ya, Jonathon Stewart never should have happened.

Williams and stewart's production have been down not because they aren't as good as the last few years, but the 1 dimensional offense, and with bad O-line blocking, they haven't had a chance to run the ball effectively yet.

But I agree that running the ball 3/4's the game isn't getting the job done.

I'm sorry but DeAngelo is soft. A foot sprain? Are you kidding me? A foot sprain?

Look, I'm as big of a Carolina fan as anyone here but what is this guy thinking? I agree that this might be a good chance for J-Stewart to get rolling but D'Angelo certainly isn't rolling either, and he hasn't done much for awhile now. Yes, his 2008 season (the 2nd half of it was very, very good), but last year he wasn't dominant and then he got hurt and barley played for the final 5 games--now he's out with a foot sprain. Weird how Brett Favre plays with a broken ankle in Minnesota and our #1 RB skips the game and misses the flight due to a "foot sprain".

I have no clue why we didn't trade him before the deadline, everyone see's what Stewart can do when he gets the full share to himself and it probably helps having all the carries getting into a groove.

In my opinion DeAngelo is not only soft he's close to be very over-rated in my estimation. He's not a top-tier #1 RB, he's had a lot more bad games (ie costing us the game vs. New Olreans) than good games.

I'm not saying, just sayin

Your soft.

Just sayin

Propacky takes the cake for dumbest huddle poster. Pat yourself on that back, that's quite an achievement.

Can you not comprehend that the running game in general is suffering, not just Dwill himself? With our O-line playing like garbage and Moose and Hoover's blocking experience missing, our run game isn't getting the holes it used to.

By your rationale I guess Steve Smith sucks too since he hasn't done much this season. To criticize Dwill for his TD's in the last 14 games is just dense. Let's just forget all the huge gains he gave us for the 5 yard TD's Stewart plowed through for. But TD's is all that matters right?

We have 4 good RB's, why force him to play on a hurt ankle when we can let him rest and heal it fully?

I hope you're just drunk and not as retarded as your posts make you seem.

I'm a diehard Tampa fan and I know exactly how dangerous that D-Will is from watching him... I'm not bias toward talent and would have loved to see D as a Buc for sure. D has potential to be a top back IMO. I had D as the top back 2 years ago when he was busting loose, even sharing the load with Stew.

With as much as AP was fumbling and before CJ really broke onto the scene, had D had 400+ carries... He easily could have had a 2,000 yard season.

Carolina just needs to continue to build their D and offensive line.

[nosuchthingasapanther]

the panthers should resign williams...but not at 7+ million a year.

Wonder whose alter ego this is

don't know. i don't do alter egos.

[rayzor]

absolutely he should be re-signed. letting him leave does nothing to strengthen the team. he won't hurt the cap much at all by keeping him. there is lots of cap room to keep him. the next couple years we are going to be dealing with a very young and inexperienced QB and you have to have RBs that can run the ball well over 550 times in a season. you limit your ability of ding that dramatically by letting either one of those guys go.

you can't and you won't make the team better by letting him go. it's foolish to think otherwise. if they can keep both then they should.

[Catdaddy]

I would not resign him. He is a good back but he had the knee injury in college,(one for sure, but maybe two) more all purpose yards in NCAA history than anyone ever and more 100 yard rushing games than anyone. The guy has a lifetime of rushing at a very young age and running backs wear out quick.

5 posts in almost a year and 3 of them are in this thread, and all 5 about DWill....troll
