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.

    • 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.
