Yeah Williams had a great season then the next year they both went over 1000 yards but since then they haven't really done shit. They are not that good of RBs and outside of Steve Smith their WRs are bad. Shockey and Olsen are alright TEs but still not that great.Pick6;933613 wrote:Williams and Stewart were considered one of, if not the best RB tandem in the league not too long ago. Smith Nanee and Lafell are probably better than half of the WR corps in the NFL. Especially since Smith is playing like its 2005 again.
I'd take the Broncos, Bills, and Skins off of that list. I just think Lafell and Nanee are pretty good #2 and #3s. Its all subjective anyways. Even if your list, that still puts them in the middle of the pack, which is basically the point I was trying to prove.Iliketurtles;934896 wrote:Yeah Williams had a great season then the next year they both went over 1000 yards but since then they haven't really done shit.

Also I would take these teams WRs over Carolinas: Cowboys, Colts, Pats, Packers, Falcons, Saints, Giants, Chiefs, Cardinals, Lions, Eagles, Redskins, Bills, Texans, Ravens, Broncos, Steelers and Chargers which is more then half the teams in the league. I might also take the Jets, Bengals, and Dolphins over the Panthers as well.
Durkie I don't think he could ever get worse then some others.
This post is what fantasy football has done to football analysis. You're implying Williams is no longer good because he only had 1 good game, most likely for fantasy purposes.Hb31187;933610 wrote: And Williams has had 1 good game
He also has under 50 carries so his ypc hasnt had a chance to level out like most of the top RBs in the leaguelhslep134;935345 wrote:This post is what fantasy football has done to football analysis.

You're completely overlooking that he's 4th in the NFL in yards/attempt and Stewart is 22nd. Williams is actually 3rd among running backs if you take out Mike Vick who is leading everyone at 8.4
Ignorance is bliss I guess...
So you get to wait for his stats to "level out" to prove your point and therefore it invalidates the fact he's 3rd in the NFL among running backs in yards/carry now?Hb31187;935349 wrote:He also has under 50 carries so his ypc hasnt had a chance to level out like most of the top RBs in the league
I will agree with you that they are middle of the pack. But I'll disagree with you that Nanee and Lafell are pretty good #2 and #3s.Pick6;935296 wrote:I'd take the Broncos, Bills, and Skins off of that list.

I don't get that at all. I would say an uneducated person would be more likely to only look at the totals (such as 4th in NFL in yards/attempt), but when you actually look at the overall numbers, he's been poor in (including today) 4 out of 6 games.lhslep134;935345 wrote:This post is what fantasy football has done to football analysis.

Why would a specific statistic (yards gained per time running the football) be less misleading than a general statistic (yards per game)? THAT doesn't make sense. He can't help how many times he's given the ball per game, he can only do his best when he does get it. And when he does get it, he's 3rd in the NFL among running backs in how many yards he gains per rushing attempt.Mulva;935502 wrote:I don't get that at all.

I'm not saying he isn't a good running back, but the ypc average is very misleading with him.
This. Colt McCoy is averaging 4 ypc today. Doesn't mean he should keep running the ball.Hb31187;935349 wrote:He also has under 50 carries so his ypc hasnt had a chance to level out like most of the top RBs in the league

I'll definitely give you that. I'm just saying I think he's better than people are giving him credit for, in terms of skill left in tank.Mulva;935680 wrote:Example:

Obviously the nonexistent hypothetical player was horrible in 2 out of 3 games. But he's averaging 8 yards per carry!
When you have as few carries as Williams does, one or 2 big rushes is all that's needed to skew your overall average. In reality he's been ineffective in probably 90% of his carries this season.
