DWill>Purple Jesus


The Answer

Recommended Posts

Not that it matters, but you can check my math bitches.

DeAngelo Williams

Average Per Carry - 5.5

Yards - 1,229

Attemps - 224

Touchdowns - 14

Adrian Peterson

Average Per Carry - 4.9

Yards - 1,581

Attempts - 320

Touchdowns - 9

If you do the math, DWill has 96 less carries and when you multiply strictly his average to 96 extra carries, it adds 528 yards to his stats. Thus giving him 1,757 yards.

Nosuchthing, it isn't anything about something Williams should have done, it is just an interesting stat I figured out, so if you don't like it, kindly gtfo my internets.

here's an interesting stat that you should have figured out...

this exact same topic comparing peterson and williams (stats included) has been posted and discussed probably half a dozen times in the past few days.

I'm not ready to make that leap yet. D-Will has shot up the ranks this year, no doubt. But I still don't think he's on Peterson's level. Peterson doesn't have a WR that teams have to account for. He sees eight men in the box on every play. Teams that play the Panthers MUST account for Steve Smith. That means D-Will sees less defenders in his face. He's done a great job taking advantage of his situation.

    • This.  He knows where the seam is about to open, cuts, and accelerates hard. He’s slippery and tacklers always seem to be taking awkward angles to get to him. No dancing. Runs low and powerful. Almost never goes backwards for a loss. We’ve rarely had the guy who bounces off of tacklers. It’s nice seeing another one. 
    • I can't speak for others but yes I read it. The conclusions are based heavily around the use of the statistical metric DYAR created by football outsiders and used by ESPN for this article. It only includes players whose production began in 2000. But excluding HOF running backs who produced BIG in an iteration of the NFL that was not yet catered to making things much easier for offenses in order for them to prop up more recent candidates is rather absurd and seems like just playing favorites regardless of where one might fall on their opinion of the use of the metric in question. 
    • Same thing I first thought but then I saw it was against Jacksonville and took about half a second of playing to know. I was at that game.  I can't tell you my level of excitement when I saw it was Delhomme instead of Peete who came out for the 2nd half. Delhomme has and will probably always be my favorite Panther.
