He's the best in space.
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

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.

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.

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

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.

    • It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.  
    • Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.  
    • I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
