He sucks we should have let him walk!

he was matching or approaching a few of jim brown's records during his 2008 season too. kept hearing jim brown's name that year.

That's actually pretty awesome.

[FutureDynasty]

wow, did not know this. maybe this will make a few folks around here appreciate deangelo a little more

[tarheelpride]

Wonder how much play it'll get next season from announcers, if at all

probably none

[Gallagher]

This is awesome. Also, with 1000+ carries he would need to have a lot of <5 yard runs to bring his average under 5 YPC so, he'll keep the record for sure.

Something that has bothered me for awhile is how so many on here anoint JStew as our best back and no one ever seems to dispute that.

Don't get me wrong, I love Stew and think he is a great back, but in no way is it a slam dunk that he is better or more productive than DWill. Deangelo is more of a home run threat, Stew is probably a better screen back, but any way you want to measure it, DWill has been a really good back.

I understand the controversy surrounding his pay, but that shouldn't take away from what he does on the field. The guy deserves major props.
