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.

      2025 College Football Thread

      UNC's football relevance has always basically been, "Hey, remember how great our basketball program is?" To extent that has worked but they have never been able to capitalize on that towards being a legit ACC power. The closest was Mack Brown 1.0 and that was stopped by prime Bowden FSU. TBH, they should have utilized all these resources they just poured into Belichick into, IDK, a legit college football coach? This is one of the more insane uses of that kind of money I have seen in CFB, which is no stranger to insane, irresponsible uses of money. The SEC and Big Ten have already shot themselves in the foot. The model they are operating on only works if TV revenues continue to go up. Well, demographics aren't working in their favor. Economics either, TBH. The NIL didn't change very much, if you notice. The haves still have and the have nots don't. The only difference between pre-NIL and NIL was the money being below the table and above it. College athletics has never at any point been about fairness. It's the most dramatically unequal system in all US atheltics. My only hope is that the collapse is swift, dramatic and most importantly SOON. I would like to see the rebuilding of this all to something closer to what it was 40-50 years ago. Regional and not such money grubbing nonsense.

      Hendon Hooker signed to practice squad

      By Waldo · Posted

      Meh Dalton looks washed. He was good for at least 1 entertaining game a year but Im not sure he even has one of those left at this point. His game style and old age hasn't been a good combo IMO.  Not going to compare him to Hooker because Hooker is another longshot to ever be worth a #2 spot. At least he isn't Plummer I guess. Young better stay healthy or they could go backwards in wins with those 2 options this year.
