Deangelo Williams - Best Back in the NFL


Tank

Recommended Posts

Williams could be argued as the best in the league, for sure. The top 3 is hard to say decisively, but it would definitely consist of Peterson, Williams, and Steven Jackson (Rams)

Jackson has to deal with Marc Bulger, an inexperienced receiving corps, a horrible O-line (well, a horrible team in general) and he still puts up great numbers week in and week out.

are you high? the yardage isn't even close. Peterson has 900 more yards than Williams in 3 years. Not to mention almost 200 more touches.

No, not really. Considering Dwill hasn't started but 1 1/2 season's vs a guy who has been the go to guy for his team all three years. 900 yards on 200 more touches, go back an read that again. He's gotten 200 more touches over those three years, only has 900 more yards, has around the same amount of Td's and has a lot more fumbles.

4.5 yards per carry in those 200 more touches with 15 fumbles compared to Dwill's 4/5 fumbles over that same time period.

Advantage Dwill.

I'm not saying williams might not be a better back, imo the jury isn't in yet. But to say 3000 yards is almost the same as 3885 is homeristic. Williams, this year is working under the same conditions as peterson has been working under the last two, i.e. 8-9 in the box on every play. We'll see how he does. I'm not thrilled with the results thus far. That being said, he's the only one producing on offense.

Not thrilled, With the team overall, Yes. Dwill, No. he's averaging over 4.4 ypc, I think it's around 4.5-4.6, he's 5th in rushing yards and top 10 in touchdowns rushing.

    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
    • Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
