How Long Can Steve Smith and Deangelo Williams Play in the NFL?

[Sword]

not really....DeAngleo played 4 years at Memphis being the offense. You think the pounding Stewart got as a NFL rookie puts more wear on this tires than what Williams did as a senior?

i think stewart has been hit more in his career just because he initiates a lot of that contact.

[CRA]

after next season, it's possible carolina will have already paid williams 75% of his contract.

it may not be too hard to trade him.

possible....but I doubt it. Then making it a 5 yr deal makes little sense.....

well obviously Stewart's style isn't going to lead for a record long career......

but what Williams did his senior year in college was much much much more work/damage to his body than Stewart's rookie year IMO. College reps matter at that position IMO.

I'm just saying from what I saw of his college career, he was just running free and not even getting touched..I guess if you watched his senior year and saw him take some big hits..

there's not a single issue that determines how long an rb's career will last. it's a combination of a number of things.
