Define "better."

eh... like a few hundred more yards, and a couple more touchdowns. it's really got more to do with what style of back you like. i like a bruiser, like Jerome Bettis... cause i like to see defenders get run over. for instance, Stewarts rookie year, he ran all over Chicago's defense in that game, made Urlacher look like a rug to wipe his feet on.

or you might like a more elusive back like Chris Johnson, although... Williams is built more like an every down back like Adrian Peterson.

Williams will have the better statistical season, just by the sheer virtue of getting more touches. But JStew could potentially be more "bang for the buck" because while he doesn't get as many touches when he comes in the game he's fresh and is able to stretch the most yardage out of not that much play time.

If either of these guys were to ever become a every-down back and stay healthy it'd be BANANAS.

    • This is a good story--I LOVED his dad as a person and player--I talked to him at an OTA (he was back for his second stint) and he was talking about Moore (the WR from Wake Forest) being so young.  I was with my teenage son and told him, "This is Taylor.  He and I attended the OTAs when you were in Rock Hill as a rookie."  He jokes, "Was he in diapers then?" and laughed.  I imagine Moose III was in diapers when we chatted that day.  So I really would love for this to work out.  However, his stats do not suggest he was anything special in college.
    • I guess there are signs. The combination of the turf toe, hamstring, and knee issues led to questions about his long-term health and affected his draft stock, causing him to fall to the second round.  Here is what I know about a knee injury.  It changes nearly every aspect of your lower body movement.  So the turf toe and hamstring could be related.  It makes him seem injury prone.  I guess the knee was not the most recent injury, so the others could have been a result of favoring the knee. Johnson did not run the 40 at the combine or pro day.  That suggests there is something he feels might drop his value.  So if you downplay the severity of the injury, have a history of possibly related injuries, and refuse to demonstrate (when given multiple opportunities) that you are fully recovered, don't get mad when your stock drops. 
    • I saw numerous reports leading up to the draft that he'd been injury red flagged by numerous teams due to cartilage damage and wear issues that they think could shorten his career.
