Deangelo Williams - Best Back in the NFL


Tank

Recommended Posts

Just wanted to say that. I feared him gashing us and before I could even get in my comfy recliner he is off and running. The dude is simply awesome. We can all agree and disagree on other parts of the game but one we can and should all agree on is this guy is the best RB in football...period end of discussion. He took a heck of a hit from Sharper on one of those gashes up the middle but never missed a beat. You guys are lucky to have him.

Yes, I agree. He is the best RB in football. Sadly, thats about all we have going for us right now. We have the worst QB in the league to go with the best RB. That combo wont win you a lot of games.

I wish we had an experienced Offensive Coordinator and a Head Coach who didn't rub his nuts on the offense and taint it.

D Will is awesome, no doubt. Top's in the league. I'm not sure where these fumbles are coming from this season though. He had almost 500 touches without a fumble and he has three or four this year. Still love the guy though.

Okay, so I have heard people mention the normal RBs when naming the top (D-Will, Johnson, Peterson, Jones-Drew) but am kinda curious why no one has mentioned Ray Rice? He is only second to Johnson in total yards from scrimmage... being in Baltimore, I watch some Raven's games and personally wish D-Will was used more like Rice (who has 40 receptions for over 450 yards and over 560 yards rushing)... any opinions/comments?

    • It's rare enough for a running back to tear the same ACL twice. There's not much of a sample size on the recoveries. And of course Dobbins has missed a lot of time--he was injured twice. That number will drop as his career continues, and even if it doesn't, that doesn't necessarily mean it has anything to do with the prior injuries. Dobbins just started and played well for a playoff team all year until he was injured by a hip-drop tackle. Surely his ACL recoveries didn't contribute to his completely random foot injury caused by an illegal tackle? Again, I'm confused why everyone is being so definitive that there's 'very little chance' of any meaningful contribution ever when the greatest counterpoint ever played for us. Thomas Davis tore the same knee over and over again and was basically fine. As for the roster-building stuff, we'll see what happens with Chuba and Dowdle at the end of the year, but Etienne's not going to factor into this. Either Brooks comes back, in which case we've already seen more from him than we have from Etienne, or he doesn't. But Etienne's not forcing him off the team. If anything, Etienne's current role is his absolute floor.
    • Then I would assume disingenuous. Why on earth would you consider this an "exciting" time to be a Panthers fan? Let me ask this, how old are you and how long have you been an NFL fan?
    • An ESPN writer had a good breakdown of teams that were likely to come back to earth(KC and Redskins were two of them) based on outlier results in 2024 in close games. I think that has a lot to do with it. Found it: https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46003861/nfl-teams-likely-decline-lose-more-games-2025-season-predictions-vikings-chiefs-commanders-lions-colts
