DeAngelo Williams enjoys sharing carries

DeAngelo Williams says he is happy and thankful that the Panthers will keep him in a timeshare with Jonathan Stewart going forward.
"The front office and coaching staff are single-handedly prolonging my career and (Jonathan Stewart's) career. Thirty is like the new 50 in the NFL, especially when it comes to tailbacks," said Williams, who turns 27 next month. "We’re each about 220 or 230 carries a year. I’d rather have that than 300-plus carries a year. It's going to be close to a 50-50 split no matter want." Mar. 19 - 3:37 pm et

Here's hoping we get 5 or more years of the best tandem football has ever seen.

He's right,
There are several benefits to Double Trouble:
1. Longer careers for both
2. With different running styles, they keep opposing def. on their heels
3. Both being so talented, they push each other to get better and better
I do think they should let JStew get some starts in, not just if D’Lo gets injured.
In this original link...
The guy talks about fan started rumors of tradeing Dwill. I wonder where he read that speculation…????
In case u aren’t getting my sarcasm I can guarantee he heard it here at CSR. I told you guys not to even talk about it. I know Dwill has read about it by now. It would make me sad if I was him. He’s big on fans. Shame

Really? That's funny..
Considering we’re the only football community on the internet that exists, it’s funny that a simple search of Google for “DeAngelo Williams trade” doesn’t even list CSR on the front page. In fact, CSR doesn’t get listed until the very bottom of the second page.
thanks for the tip

Is that even relevant?
Unless we’re playing professional football, we’re all fans. Any rumor started outside of the NFL is done so by fans, regardless of who is running the website.
Point being, there’s no reason for us to act like (or feel like) we’ve done something wrong by speculating on a subject that has been all over the internet. If Williams truly wasn’t liked by Panther fans, I’d imagine he’d garner boo’s on the field. That is what would make me sad.
If I was him and I read the shit id be upset about it.

I could see that..
But as EPMD said in 92.. “Business Never Personal”. As much as they love it and we love them, it’s still a job that they make their living off of, just as we do (on a lesser scale haha). If you went into work tomorrow and read an article by some outside source that you could potentially be transferred, what would you do? I know what I’d do, I’d shrug it off and do my job, not worrying about things that were outside of my control. Treat your job like your girlfriend and you’re asking to get hurt. There aren’t very many long term relationships in the NFL.
PS (again)
DeAngelo seems like a stand up kind of guy. I believe he’ll give us his all every season that he is here but, if for some reason in the future he is traded/cut/released, I think he’ll take it like a man and exit respectfully. He seems like a very intelligent guy, I doubt he’s going through this “relationship” blindly.
Anyways, here’s to hoping this conversation is moot being D-Will isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.
If I was in the nfl the fans would be important to me as would their opinions. It would definately make me think

EPMD
Anyone who can make EPMD relevant to Panthers football is a hero in my book. My day is better now.

Every Panther site on the internet has talked about the possibility of trading D-Will
He might have read it here, he might not have, we can’t assume.
Jake Delhomme, QB Carolina Panthers, 2003-2009.
120 TDs+16000+ passing yards=Good
89 INT's+27 lost fumbles=Bad
Most comeback wins since 2003=Priceless

Exactly!! Never trade either one
Sniff…I want to promote this to the front page but I need the link first.
I believe this is the only site that was talking about that so yeah, I bet it was from here they were talking about it.
I blog the Carolina Panthers at www.catscratchreader.com
with out a doubt in my mind man

The greatest part about that..
In my opinion, is the fact that D-Will doesn’t have that “I can be great forever” ego that some players have (T.O.). He very well understands the “time line” for running backs and I believe that will definitely help him keep himself healthy for many years to come. It seems, to me, he’s the type of guy you want to be a fan of for his character just as much as his on field production. Stewart seems to also be following in that mold.
If he doesn’t retire a Panther one day, I’ll be very sad.
we'll see
he’s saying these things now, but fewer carries now doesn’t mean he’s gonna play until he’s 35. when he’s 30, he’ll get the same treatment as a 1400 yard runner with about a dozen TDs…Thomas Jones. D-Will is great, but he doesn’t have 10 more good years like Smitty might have, regardless of the number of carries he gets.
Haha! Epic.

That can be his new moniker
Papa Smurf. I bet he would love it. That or Mighty Mouse.
Do or do not. There is no try.
HERE he comes to save the day!
…mighty Smitty’s on the way!
Honest to God I miss that show
along with all the other 80’s cartoons
Do or do not. There is no try.
smitty is nuts
he won’t retire until someone makes him. he’s like the ray lewis/mike singletary of receivers.

Our reaction as fans of the Panthers -- should be joy that Williams feels this way!
Not concern about which blog trade talk came from. Every time it arose here, I and others shot it down — if he were to read about it here, he’d have also read plenty of posts that sang his praises, and didn’t want any such trade talk.
Thanks
That was the reason I posted this. To give people a chance to praise DeLo and Stewart if so inclined and to sing the praises of RBBC. Backfired a bit.
I love our running backs..
I think it’s along the lines of “you don’t know what you have until it’s gone” for most, though.
Of course he does... because he's starting!
Its a great gig. Your team is built around running the ball, half the plays you get to sit on the bench while some other guy wears down defenses… Yet publicly he gets to be front and center, get the ProBowl attention, the big interviews… yet doesn’t have to do as much work for it as a 300 yard back.
What I want to see is Stewart say for the next 5 years, HE wants to backup another RB who gets recognized for more of the personal achievement, even though Stewart’s doing just as much work. Then I’ll be a believer that this tandem can last long-term.
Otherwise known as SouthTunnel. Change is inevitable - except from a vending machine.
