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:

    • This is gonna be longest six weeks ever 
    • This 1000%.  Hey who wants to sign with the guy that couldn't even get his client the guaranteed contract of a 3rd round pick?  Lmao
    • I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
