How long do you give Deangelo Williams?

He tweeted that they haven't jelled yet, and that's understandable considering the new offense and some new personnel. But, regardless Jonathan Stewart has shown he is more than capable of being an Elite starting RB. Yes I said the "E" word.

So here's my question, how many games of inconsistency do you give D-Will before you consider that big contract a huge mistake? Or for the reverse question, how long until you believe he starts to earn that contract? How long until he actual breaks 100 yards rushing in a game?

I will admit I was on the keep D-Will bandwagon along with everyone else, I just haven't seen much from him since Pre-Season, and that's continued into the first 3 games of the regular season. When your rookie QB leads the team in rushing yards, you need to stop and fix whatever is going wrong.

I love watching Cam, but I don't want him to have to throw 50 times a game.

I considered that big contract a mistake a year before it was ever offered based upon reasons that have nothing to do with performance.

I never thought he'd actually not be productive.

Hurney has a literal black cat walking in front of him at all times.

once the run game gets back on track in a week or two, all these threads will disappear along with most of the criticisms for the deal he got. (of course player fanboys like number28 will always hate because they think it's a competition between the two instead of something that makes this team stronger).

i said it in another thread just a minute ago...once the run game gets back on track this will be one of the most dangerous offenses in the league.

Just a little FYI

First game hitting +100 rushing yds. in a game

2007: wk 6

2008: wk 5

2009: wk 6

I see a trend there....everyone knows he starts late....how about we wait until after the season is half over to start demanding the money back.

get out of here with your facts and such. :mad:

    • I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.
    • This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.
    • to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
