DeAngelo Williams: Best in Football

I've been saying this for a while now but the best runningback in the league is DeAngelo Williams for a few reasons IMO.

1. D-Will is second in TDs of the top 4 HBs. He has 14 so far, in front of Adrian Peterson's 9, and Clinton Portis's 7.

2. He has the longest TD run out of all of them at a 69 yard run, and just capped off a 56 yrd run this past week

3. He has the highest yards per carry average of 5.5 which tops everyone in the top 4 category

4. He has no fumbles and the fewest attempts of them all at 224 atts compared to Adrian Peterson's 320, Clinton's 291 and Turner 332 yet right there with them in yardage and closing in pretty fast

5. Along with having the most runs beyond 40 yards at 5 of them over AP's 3, Clinton's 0 and Turner's 1 he has the ability to stop, cut and change direction just out of the drop of a dime that I've seen since Barry Sanders. And LT could never do that as fast and as swiftly as D-Will can along with the ability to elude tackles and run you over.

You can argue but NUMBERS DON'T LIE people

I'd like to see Williams catch more swing passes. He has a unique ability in the open field and we don't throw to him enough to utilize it. He could really be that second weapon in the passing game that we need.

I'll agree with that. It would just give defenses one more reason to keep an eye on No. 34.

On another note, while I appreciate the enthusiasm for Williams, it's getting a bit out of hand.

it got out of hand a long time ago.

god forbid wlliams numbers should decline over the next season or two. the huddle's going to need a suicide watch if they do.

I wish williams the best success. it will only help the panthers as a whole.

He is one of the best. Definitely the best we've ever had in this teams history imo. Stewart is probably the next best actually. What he has done is very impressive. 100 less carries yet only 200 or so yards behind the top 2 rushers and is 2nd in touchdowns. We have the best tandem though, no doubt in my mind.

Just to sneak a rock in your pillow case. Couldn't his success be, in part, to Stewart's ability to run the ball. A healthy and WELL rested HB attributes a lot of his yards/carry and other stats to the "other" guy. Without Stewchunk, he's wouldn't be doing things he's doing.

So, in other words, those numbers, as always, don't mean much considering they don't show the whole picture.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
