Deangelo Williamsvs Stev Smith

The thing with that is, were they both sprinting. I figure that DeAngelo was because I imagine that he had the ball. I am not quite sure about DeAngelo's speed. Remember the Raiders game where just about got chased down by that linebacker? Thankfully he didn't get tackled but I dont know.

DeAngelo is quick, I don't know if he's really super FAST but he's quick enough to get through the middle and fast enough to run away from most defenders. Smith used to be faster, definitely before he broke his leg, I don't think it's so much getting older. I think Smith has more endurance than DeAngelo does though.

Smitty actualy got faster after the broken leg... from all the training... plus he isnt that old he is a WR not a RB....

it dosent matter what postion a 30 year old man dont run as fast as a 25 year old..lol

ill bet my bank account smitty would crush jarett in a sprint.

we should be glad williams doesnt run as fast as smitty, its probably the only reason he dropped down to us in the draft. compare deangelo's numbers to reggie bushs in college, we are lucky the sports media is littered with morons who believe only great players come from a total of maybe 15 schools.

Williams isn't even close to steve smith in speed, when ever he breaks loose he is usually just barely escaping the clutches of the defenders, it's all he can do to stay ahead of them, he hits the hole hard but he doesn't really pick up much speed after that

when smith breaks loose he is gone, there is no hope of catching him,

he's very slippery and can cut with the best of them, not to mention his stiff arm is nasty, and then all the yards after contact...etc. this is plenty to be a good back in the nfl as he has proved

i think stewart could even end up being faster than him depending on if we bulk him up to even more of a bruiser

stewart is faster than williams..(zips up flame suit).

the problem is he would much rather run thru defenders than around them. if he doesn't see daylight, he doesn't bother. if there's a single defender in front of him, you can count on contact.

    • Right. But you do understand that there is no such thing as not signing free agents, right? That's what I mean. So make some good free agency moves and do well in the draft. That's step one. If you can't accomplish that, then this will just keep getting worse.
    • Sweet jebus this is idiotic Yes, overall team success in this league, you need a good QB, but beyond just that painfully obvious fact, let's get into the rest of the stupid in there......... First things first, you say.. "if we need a good QB for him to have success, then why are you drafting that player with the #1 pick" Show me one time I've ever said we would need a good QB for T-Mac himself to have success... you can't, because I never have.  I think you're referring to the "he's bad enough that we then have a Top 5 pick to target a QB" part of my post, which is very clearly talking about said QB, not T-Mac.  The other way to interpret that is just overall team success, which again, wouldn't be anything about T-Mac or his ability to impact the offense or overall team wins and losses. I'm quite sure I could do this with a number of teams over the years, but I don't want to spend the time to do multiple, so I'll keep it to just the 2023 Vikings right now since you wanted to use Jefferson as your example....... The Vikings went 3-6 after Cousins went down last year.  And two of those wins came before Jefferson even came back from his own injury, they were 1-4 in the final 5 weeks after Jefferson came back. In those 5 games, Jefferson had 31 catches, 503 yards, and 2 TDs Having the WR you specifically called out didn't help them go better than 1-4 with a bad QB, even though he still put up a great stat line for that time period either.  It also didn't make that QB good enough to where they then went out and brought in TWO new QB's this year to replace Doubs and Mullens who started down the stretch for them last year. And that's with 4th year Jefferson, not a rookie that T-Mac would be If you expect a WR getting drafted #1 overall to be the player to turn a franchise as bad as we are around in 1 season, make whatever QB we're able to put in there be successful, and lead us to a solid season, then you are literally insane. We are AWFUL, we have a few young guys who could turn into great players, but we are so far from being a good team, that there isn't any player we could draft next year that is going to change that in 2025.
