agreed. if only williams was considered an important part of the offense.

he isn't used nearly enough...and i'm not talking about just carries. the guy is a really good receiver as well.

He's the best in space.

Very nice article. Thanks for the read.

I agree DeAngelo is a hell of a running back. He had some very promising runs against the Cowboys... just wish there was more of it. Definitely should go to him more than we do.

i totally believe that moore would have williams involved more than jake.

any new QB is going to be doing that, though. they will focus on the open man rather than "old faithfuls". doing that is going to be losing games for us this year. everyone knows that is what jake is going to do....try to get the ball to smith or moose. all other targets are after thoughts and only used in desperate situations.

Not a doubt in my mind about that.

Jake will start until a mysterious injury. By benching Jake, fox and hurney look like even bigger morons than making a lazy defensive end the highest paid player in the league

[CLTPanther]

Are you saying Jake won't throw the check down or that Fox/Davidson would call more passes/screens to the RB's if Moore was QB? Only one makes sense, just asking. Fox and company tend to call the screen passes to the RB's, but this year, they have been met by the opposing D nearly immediately.

Moore doesn't call plays. But sure, Moore would make the defense play better, too.

I agree with the point he is trying to make but damn he have af funny way to prove his point.

Peterson, in three seasons, has 685 carries for 3,513 yards and 27 touchdowns.

Williams, in four seasons, has 579 carries for 2,913 yards and 25 touchdowns.

That's a difference of 106 attempts, 600 yards, and two scores.

He talks about the the difference of 106 attempt and yards and scores but forget one thing and that All Day did those numbers in three season and D-Will did them in four according to himself. So he try to say D-Will is everything AD is and more but use some stats showing the opposite.

Sorry but that is just embarrassing.

And BTW i agree with the point. I love D-Will.

[CLTPanther]

You compare the attempts, not the years. Remember that D-will wasted away sitting behind Fumbling Foster for a few years.

[klumme]

You can´t play the "if" game if you want to look trustworthy. Those 106 carries we have no idea how would have went.

The fact is AD have produced better in 3 years than Williams have in four years. That is the stonecold fact.

We can speculate here on the huddle but this is a writer and I just hate the "if" game.

And I would pick Williams over AD

[CLTPanther]

It's the attempts and YPC, not the years. AP has been featured since he broke out his rookie year, D-will was behind Foster. D-will could only run as many times as the coaches would let him or health, which was not an issue (health). Besides, AP has led in fumbles in the last year and some change.

He's the best in space.

...and on Earth, for that matter.

Just fuggin with ya. LOL

I doubt the play calls ask for Delhomme to target Smith 90% of the time...
