Williams was also part of a franchise-record effort, as he ran for a career-high 186 yards and two touchdowns in a 38-23 win over Tampa Bay on “Monday Night Football.” Williams and rookie Jonathan Stewart combined to run for a franchise-best 299 yards against the league’s No. 2 ranked run defense.

...when I said the same thing 8 or so weeks ago. Funny that now, people...not everyone...just a few...are starting to say the same thing.

When I compared him to Adrian Peterson, everyone laughed and said he had not proven that yet.

...and to some degree, they were right. But after having seen DeAngelo play in college, I knew exactly what they didn't. That he is AT LEAST the best running back in the league.

....and....zero fumbles...

I never doubted him. The time/situation just wasn't right before. Now, everything is as it should be for his running game to work for him. Look at all the crazy records he broke in college. He just HAD to get bigger and get into rhythm. When you add another guy who can be successful on downs as well (not Foster) then you can rest your other guy between plays, thus they stay somewhat fresh through the game. But we all knew that already didn't we (referring to those starting RBs threads of yore)?

You got that right. Fox should have made him the starter in the middle of the '06 season when Foster started to struggle. But anyway, glad he is getting the work he deserve. :)

    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
    • Sanders is with Tom Brady brand and that's his mentor. The Raiders owner was with Sanders taking pics at a Vegas game together.   It doesn't take much to connect the dots that Vegas will be interested in Sanders as their franchise QB. Oh yeah and guess who hasa small ownership stake in the Raiders Tom Brady.   I guess this is just another made up Madden idea by me huh?
    • Bro I don't mind debating you, but did you really have to write all that to get your point across.   This isn't Madden. If you have the #1 pick you literally control your own destiny. If nobody wants to trade which I have a hard time believing they won't then you obviously take the best QB.   I think we will have suitors. If that's Madden then so be it.
