DeAngelo Williams Hall Of Fame Stats!

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.

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
