There was zero concern as to DWill's durability. A 4 year starter with 6000 rushing yards in his career.

There were some analysts that viewed him as too small to be a feature back in a John Fox style power running attack. That doesn't mean that he wasn't going to be successful in the league, just that they didn't think he was a good fit for the system. Fox had Davis at 240 & Foster at 225 then here comes Williams at a whopping 207 at the combine. Bouncing off the NFL's 300 pounder is a little different than what he was hitting at Memphis. I think the durability concern was a big reason for taking Stewart who is a better fit for the Fox RB mold.

Some football genius was probably saying the same thing about Deangelo Williams a couple of years ago.

Given the right circumstances, just like Williams, Stewart has the possibility to be great in this league.

He is already good as an RB2. If you were being totally objective, then you could easily say that Stewart jumped on the field running MUCH more effectively than Williams did in his first and second year.

Your backhanded dis of Stewart makes this thread unravel like the threads in the bottom hem of the cheap $5 polyester lion print shirts at your local "Five and Dime".

bingo.

      Ticket Prices

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Fees nowadays are ridiculous. After purchasing concert tickets for my son’s 18th birthday and paying the rest of our HHI trip with 3 other families, I’m shocked at how much they are. Honestly, it’s grand theft. Some is taxes but in a world where everything is electronic, fees should be cheaper. Electrons don’t cost 10-30% of the event.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Nope, that’s not the disconnect. In 2022, our GM knew he was going QB in the 2023 draft. You are talking about risking fans involvement on a team that’s been basically bottom 3 in the NFL from 2018 to now. There is no risk when you are that bad. We were right to want Fitterer to tank in 2022 and get rid of anyone who could bring us big value and extra cap room for future years when we aren’t winning 2-7 wins a year. We knew we wanted a rookie QB so we didn’t trade assets for picks and get a better draft slot so we ended up only getting a 2nd for Burns and threw in DJ Moore plus an early 2nd instead of a 1st, which basically lost us an early 2nd. The “risk” to our franchise’s losing culture ended up being around 4 1sts of total value. Yep, I refuse to listen to the other perspective that lost us around 4 1sts of value. At least our fan involvement is so high that our stadium isn’t chock full of visiting fans since we’ve won so much since 2022. Again, you won’t change my mind that we should have tanked in 2022 and had another 2-4 Browns/Horns on this team.
