Is Deangelo Williams a multiple 1000 yard all pro running back if he was never paired with stewart

[Guest Irv]

I was recently looking at his stats and i noticed that if he was the feature back and we had no one behind him he would have eclipsed 1000 yards every year he's been a panther. I think the view of him would be completly different if stew had never been in the picture.

I don't think it's so much Stew as it is the sucky oline we've been having for a while.

This thread will be great. N b 4 the haters.

His career YPC used to be in rarified company until a year or two ago. I'm talking only one of 3 or 4 RBs in history of the universe with a 5+ YPC career average. So probably, yes.

He needs a good Online. But who doesnt

and if he never got hurt.

Maybe

[Darth Biscuit]

So many variables in this it's hard to say.

 

On the surface, yes he probably is... in reality, if he had ALL the carries that he would have had he been the lone back, would he have stayed healthy?

It was always a cherry picked stat....

Lots of RBs have had badass ypc numbers if you cherry pick the window/criteria

That isn't a Williams knock....but it is one of the reasons people almost turned him into some mythical RB that wasn't quite as good as many pimped

Stu, he had the best yards after contact in the league in 2012.

1000 yards for a back that gets every non garbage time carry is not that great.

But the problem is not what stu or deangelo are doing our not doing. The problem is that we could afford two all pro guards plus two decent backs for what they are being payed.

[WOW!!]

With all the carriers he had in college. I think D-Will needed a 2 back system to be as effective was this long.

I wil say NO because Stew hardly gets on the field. I thinks it has more to do with the Oline and limited Wr threat on the outside. Dwill to me is an above average RB, i don't think he will fair better playing for the Seahawks or Minnesota
