.....over the last two years, leaves little doubt who is better. Please note the following stats for the last two years.

DeAngelo Williams 489 carries 2,683 yards 5.4 avg 3 fumbles

Adrian Peterson 677 carries 3,143 yards 4.6 avg 15 fumbles

DeAngelo has fumbled once every 163 carries. Adrian fumbles every 45 carries.

It is true DeAngelo may be a bit fresher, but he also does not get quite as much of a chance to get "into the game flow"

For those who think Adrian Peterson is better, when fumbles are considered as part of the equation, it ISN'T EVEN CLOSE.

Leaving Chris Johson aside for a moment...let's get another year from him, and remember, DeAngelo could EASILY have run for 2,000 yards last year if he was not sharing carries...he is the best running back in the league.

Also...according to my very solid, BUT NOT 100 GUARANTEED ACCURATE research, only DeAngelo Williams and Jim Brown, based on reasonable amounts of carries, have ever averaged 5.0 ypc for three years.

DeAngelo could break that next year and be the only running back of all time who has averaged 5.0 yards a carry for three years.

He is one half level above Adrian Peterson, those of you who think otherwise are nuts, read the stats!

I think using Stewart as much as we do will help deangelo stay around a couple more years than Adrian Peterson. I like Adrian Peterson but I think he is overated. He is just a big running back who can run over people and just happens to have great speed for his size. He had a off year this year but he is just used so much he is going to alway put up 1,300 yards a season. Now that teams are preparing against him more his numbers are going down. Not to mention he fumbles a whole lot which isnt good at all. He is great in all aspects of running except ball handling which is why I dont think he is an elite RB. Look at yesterday what happend to him. I say give it a few more years and he will start getting injured and then he will get slower and be out of the league at an early age.

note the bolded words.

So if we take away two of D-will's poor years and take away one of AP's good years, they have comparable stats. Interesting.

And if Chris Johnson strings together two good years, well wait and see because you say a player should have 3 good years before he gets props. But deangelo has two good years and he's the best in the leauge?:confused:

You have a good point about the fumbles and how they're a bit ignored. But after that your rampant love for D-will compromises your logic. I love him too but this is getting a bit extreme.

You can't project stats on a linear curve assuming a player will keep up the same pace. The NFL is not that predictable or reliable. All players are different. Until D-will rushes for 2,000 yards he doesn't deserve the credit for it. Chris Johnson did it so he gets the credit. They don't name valedictorians based on IQ, you have to make the grades.

in 2008? maybe.

2009? no.

best back in the league? it's not even clear cut that he's the best back on his team.

Also...according to my very solid, BUT NOT 100 GUARANTEED ACCURATE research, only DeAngelo Williams and Jim Brown, based on reasonable amounts of carries, have ever averaged 5.0 ypc for three years.

hasn't this already been discussed? they aren't the only two.

did you forget about this thread?

DeAngelo could break that next year and be the only running back of all time who has averaged 5.0 yards a carry for three years.

big props to him should he do it.

      WWE pay per view and programming thread

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
