Williams wants to stay in Carolina

[kdrh5]

Oh look, catsgrowl is here to enlighten us all. My bad, I messed up how many games Williams missed the past few years which is easy to do since he misses some every year.

[kdrh5]

God forbid a player miss training camp. remember how much it affected Stewart last year when he led the team in rushing? Man, Beason was really behind when he held out as a rookie too

This could be debated forever. The fact of the matter is some think running backs are a dime a dozen and some do not. Kdrh5, if RB's are a dime a dozen, how many elite running backs or very good running backs has Carolina had in its history? If they are a dime a dozen, seems we would have a lot since we have always been a run first team. 2 is my answer by the way in 15 years.

I know we spent a lot of money and draft picks trying to find Stephen Davis. Since then, we have spent additional money and draft picks trying to find his replacement. We have found his replacement (same skill level but different style) and many of you want to let him walk because you don't want to pay him now. Amazing...that is all I can say.

Yeah we all know having a top running back is integral to winning championships. You can't win one of those with a guy like Willie Parker or Joseph Addai or Antwan Smith or Pierre Thomas.

How many elite ANYTHING have we had in our short history?

Oh, cool.

An immature insult in an attempt to avoid the facts.

Sure have missed those around here.

You obviously have not been a fan for very long. As such, I will not even attempt to answer this question because you would just disagree anyway. Dr5-why are you even a Panther fan? Seem to be pretty negative to me.

What, the facts that Williams misses more games than any back on the roster?

Oh god, you're questioning my fanhood now. LOL

I love how a lot of Fans thought Jarrett was going to "Break Out" this year and how many fans think Dwill is going to be "over the hill" next year. Shows you were there thought processes is...

[Panthers128]

Guy is soft and has quit on us two seasons in a row now. If he wanted to stay he should have shown it.

And even if you disagree with my assessment, then you at least can acknowledge that he's injury prone, is easily replaceable, and is not worth the money he will likely be entitled to.

Or you can look at it as they want him to be 100% healthy when it matters. You will start seeing people drop like flies on IR. No sense getting banged up when at this point losing is better than winning.

^two up

wow

When it matters? What's that about 2-3 times a decade for this team?

I do believe the Steelers had this guy called "the bus". Pretty sure he qualifies as a face of the franchise running back.
