Did we misuse money on DeAngelo?

If he was used 12+ times a game it would be worth it but it looks like Stewart is more utilized in this new offense. I'm still gonna wait because it seems that AP, Fred Jackson, & McCoy are the only ones who can run this year anyways

half the teams in the NFL are averaging at least 100 yards on the ground a game.

the team w/ the best backfield (and most invested in it) in the NFL is ranked 29th.

DLo doesn't even appear to be at the top of the depth chart anymore.

I will be glad when the fans catch on that Hurney cannot be trusted when resigning his own guys. This is just one really bad move in a string of bad moves of recent years. And before you start going all "he drafted Cam!" on me, realize that Cam was Chud and Rivera's pick.

I'll stand corrected. There are quite a few teams running decent so far. Oakland, Philly, Houston, Atlanta...etc

Its really weird that we can't do anything, but we've played a road game across the country & the Super Bowl champs. If we don't show a running game in the slightest against the Jags (who actually have a solid run-d) I maybe a little concerned. But a win is what I want above anything else ;)

He needs more than 5-10 carries a game to get it going. He can bust a big run on any given handoff, but he needs to get that handoff.

Do you know how many times he has touched the ball since he went to IR in 2009? He has looked average ever since then.....and that is w/ another season ending injury mixed in.

when you invest in your backfield like Carolina.....there is no excuse for being one of the 3 worst running teams in the NFL 2 games in (and if you take Cam padding there stats out they are the leagues worst) no matter who you play.

And BTW, why are you worried about this money anyway? You're not paying him personally, and the Panthers have plenty of cap room to sign FA's and draft picks next year, so this doesn't hurt the team one bit.

I am not worried about the money but rather the team and how the money is used. I am no cap analyst so I am not sure how much room we have but what I do know is this: with the money DeAngelo is getting he needs to do a lot to justify it. And with this offensive scheme he might be used to his full capacity. We had bigger needs this year in CB and DT.

I realize I am not paying the money, could care less how much a player gets. But sometimes there's no use in paying someone so much money if they aren't even going to be utilized enough for them to justify the money.

No doubt

There shouldn't be excuses with what we're paying but at the same time I don't want to be worried about this...that's why I'll give it one more week to be legit worried. And hopefully we'll focus this week on getting a actual running game going
