Deangelo Williams

841 carries, 4,211 yards gained, average yards per carry is at 5.007

Barry Sanders

3,062 carries, 15,269 yards gained, average yards per carry is at 4.986

Just sayin.....

If he stays healthy, absolutely worth the money!

And people say that Emmitt or Walter, or Adrian or you name him are better.

Not a chance

All the stats, based on running alone, suggest otherwise. Always have, always will. Going to be a great year....

Okay, I understand that Barry had more carries each year, and one can always bring up the argument that "he is more rested, that is why he has stats like that". Other people are in a two back system, and they DON'T get stats like that. Again, there are reasons why....

Are you old enough to actually have seen Barry Sanders run?? If you were, you would know that as good as Williams is, he is no Barry Sanders. Sanders got his yards on an awful Detroit team with a bad offensive line. Williams for the most part has had a much better line than Sanders ever had. Sanders often ran 30 yards to gain five or six whereas Williams often makes 3 yards before he runs into any defensive man.

      FLA showed everyone it’s not about superstars. they bullied the best line in the NHL into obscurity. they played hard, were in the right positions, and ran over everything that got in their way.

      That’s really not what you said and when I even expressed doubt as to your intentions with the post you doubled down and remained unclear on whether you were trying to drag Dean Smith for whatever reason. You just got the facts wrong, which if you don’t follow the local college programs like you say then maybe you just were mistaken and thought Smith didn’t win championships or have legit superstars, and that is ok, but you just doubled down when my first post was more corrective than anything. I’m not sure what you expect posting objectively false things like “RBA has a lot of wins with nothing to show for it like Dean Smith” (paraphrasing) on a message board with plenty of UNC fans. I’m not taking it as a personal affront, we can agree to disagree, Dean Smith’s legacy fortunately will not be affected by this conversation. Screw the (Florida) Panthers?

      Bring in the free agents and trades.  Florida is the best team and unless Tulsky makes it happen, it’s more of the same…which isn’t bad…but it’s time to win a goddamn cup.
