DeAngelo Williams Hall Of Fame Stats!

Recommended Posts

Since the merger of the two leagues in 1869, DeAngelo Williams ranks NUMBER 2 among all running backs in Yards Per Carry based on first 500 rushes n the league.

Only Jim Brown, O.J. Simpson, and DeAngelo Williams have ever had in one season 1,500 total rushing yards, 15 touchdowns, and a 5.5 ypc average.

(D actually had 18 touchdowns)

In NFL history, only three running backs, im Brown, DeAngelo Williams and Marshall Faulk have ever averaged 5.0 yards per carry for three STRAIGHT years.

(the above assumes minimum 140 carries per year)

Jim Brown, DeAngelo Williams and Chris Johnson are the ONLY backs in NFL history to have 7 touchdown runs of 30 or more yards in a season

Regarding the third item, one year DeAngelo's numbers were at 4.97, but I will consider that 5.0 per carry. He MORE than deserves his contract. The above are incredible numbers, and don't forget in 2008 if he was not sharing time he would have ran for over 2,000 yards.

Not saying he's going to hall of fame. But rest assured when he retires he will have one of the highest ypc averages of all time.

Look, am not going to compare him to Jim Brown. But Jim Brown averaged 5.1 ypc for his career. DeAngelo is at 5.0. Not a huge difference, and DeAngelo (or anyone today for that matter) runs against much tougher defenses.

He MORE than deserves his contract. And don't forget, some of that represents payment for years in which he was clearly underpaid.

I understand, however, that if we are only going to use him 9 times per game that such could be questionable.

Just sayin....

Those are neat stats but he is 133rd on the all time yards list and doesn't crack the top 50 in single season rushing. And only has 2 1,000 yard seasons.

That may be a result of the system but he isn't sniffing the hall of fame. He probably needs a spectacular 6-8 more years in the league and at least one ring to be in the conversation. Not to mention he is behind many of his peers.

I think DeAngelo is worth every dime we give him. The only time I cringe is when he gets a play call to go smash mouth up the middle. DW is an end runner, who does his best work when he gets a corner and can turn on the jets. I'm glad he's a Panther - he's a great player, a good person, and I hope like hell I get to see him on the podium at Canton one day.

would have been a lot better if he hadn't gotten hurt just about every year he's been in the league and missed a few games and if it didn't take so long for him to find his groove every year.

I think the fact he splits the load with JStew insures he'll never amass the numbers necessary to make the Hall. However, when does he gets the ball he performs like the best in the Hall.

agreed, but it depends when in the season. it usually takes nearly half the season before he kicks it into high gear.

    • No, the casual fan gets sucked into THIS^^^ kind of thinking, and it's so woefully incorrect that it's almost sad. The first is what I've said numerous times, NOTHING about non guaranteed contracts save the billionaire owners a single penny, because they still have to spend their cap floor, and the only reason teams ever don't spend the full limit, is to then roll it over into the next season to be able to spend more that year. But in the end, owners pay the same amount of money no matter what. The reverse is also the same, that the players in totality make the same amount of money as well, because in your example of Clowney not getting that money this year, it will go to another player, as the cap needs to be spent. And you say how we just cut Clowney after we gave him the 2 year contract, but everyone including Clowney's agent and himself, knew when it was signed, that it was more likely to be a 1 year contract than a 2 with how it was structured.  The 2nd year was just to be able to spread out the cap hit and he was always most likely going to end up getting traded or cut. It's why agents and players don't care about the total money in a contract, it's always and only been about the guaranteed money, as the years and overall value are meaningless, always have been, always will be.
    • Agents will have their 1st round picks hold out until the pay structure of their contract is to their liking, not how much money they'll get or even how much is guaranteed, just the when/how they will get the money over the course of the contract. If they're willing to recommend those players hold our, do you really think they won't do it for 2nd rounders to guarantee them an extra 10% of their entire rookie contract?
