Barry Sanders had no offensive line and made things happen.

 

Deangelo and Stewart obviously had a dominate line for a couple years and when that fell apart they lack the ability to create anything for themselves minus something here and there.

 

Otah was a monster, yes he got hurt and all that, but on the field he was a road grater.  Remember we had so many good offensive lineman we were letting our backups go to other teams for starting caliber contracts?  Those were the days.....

I'm sorry but I have to strongly disagree with the Barry Sanders comparisons.

I do remember at one point DW being in an elite group of backs (I think DW, Barry Sanders, Jim Brown) that averaged 5.0 ypc. Not saying he's in Barry Sanders territory but that was always impressive. I think that has dipped way down to like 4.5-4.6 now, which goes to show how much the glory days of DW are in the rear view mirror.

None other than our very own DeAngelo Williams.

DeAngelo rushed for 1,515 yards and 18 touchdowns in 2008, tied for the 15th highest rushing TD total of all-time. Not bad for a small back who was splitting carries with a younger, bigger, and stronger short yardage back in Jonathan Stewart.

Interestingly enough, the 2008 season was Jonathan Stewart's rookie year, in which Stewart also added on 836 yards and 10 TDs of his own.

Man, the glory days of having two top 10 NFL RBs...

then rivera came and none of ourbacks even got more then 1000 yards

      Dan Morgan interviews this week

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      Another thread where the Huddle melts down over a Bryce comment.  "Conversations" and "Bryce Young has been signed to a new long-term contract" are still far away from being the gospel.  For a fanbase that has watched two top-3 drafted QBs come here, and us move on, only to see them elevate their play elsewhere, I find it comical. Bryce is flawed but this org is damned if you do and damned if you don't with BY9.  Why would our GM and HC say anything other than supportive about their QB1. Yes, he's extended, but I truly do not think if he goes out and has a repeat of the previous seasons, that he is here beyond 2027. They're giving him every opportunity and surrounding him with a ridiculous amount of assets on both sides of the ball. If he continues to pitch 110 yd/ game and cough up the ball while everyone else is busting their ass, no way Dan keeps him beyond the extension.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      Ooof, I was not a Proctor fan. I agree w/ a lot of smarter folks than me that he's more of a guard and think his weight fluctuation is going to be something to navigate. I liked Lomu a lot, but figured there would be more talented guys there at 19. I also wasn't big on bringing in a TE via the draft. If it's not a vet (Njoku) or a trade for Mayer or Kmet, I'd just as soon see what the youngsters have. No need cluttering the room with more of the same.

      Sam Darnold & Bryce Young are two very different Qbs ..just saying the last 25 years approximately 2/3 of ALL  first round Qb's  in the NFL were or are bust.so for everyone who makes it like a Sam Darnold you have two that don't make it or are a bust
