Williams doesn't get FedEx Ground Player of the Year

[D34Williams]

Adrian Peterson does. Surprised? I am. I really thought with the way that DeAngelo played this season would get him something. But, I guess I thought wrong. I know I'd take Williams with his 1,515 yards and 18 rushing TD's over Petersons 1,760 and 10 TD's. Anyway, I've stated how I feel about it, but here it is.

Man, and I voted for him quite a bit.

Guess I should have voted more.

[SorthNarolina]

there was a good case for any of them

Williams led the leauge in TD's and YPC. while being top 5 in alot of other things.

the only i thing i think that hurts williams is the fact that he split carries with stewart, while he did more with less he also benefited from always being on fresh legs and didn't have to carry the team alone

if he does it again next year he will definatley get the props, hopefully he doesn't turn into fred taylor

the only guy that chose williams was marshall faulk.

Nonsense. Factor in Petersons 9 fumbles and its a no contest in my mind.

But of course not once did the panelists or the blurbs mention the big factors, all they ever talked about was yards.

+1

Peterson and his fumbles cost the Vikings.

Peterson doesn't have to carry all the load, and he didn't all of it, nor last year, Chester Taylor is a starter on most other teams. Peterson also fumbles more than anyone. He's probably going to have more fumbles this year than DWill in his whole career.

You can chalk this up to us being a small market team, oh well. Seriously proves how uneducated NFL fans are about football.

[panthersphan]

I voted for him at least 50 times

Adrian ..whatever..I'll talk DWill's zero fumbles any day.

[neverlosethefeeling]

boo hoo

[b-nukle]

Williams would have won, if they'd added in fumbles. Votes just look at the yards and names, then vote.

[Brooklyn Bully]

Why are ANY of you shocked by this? The FANS voted. Outside of our fanbase, nobody knows much about him. Everyone knows about AP. They voted on popularity alone.

that is true, peterson's highlights come at a big price while deangelo's didn't

i can't believe i forgot about fumbles

The panelists only mention what comes up on the teleprompters

[PanthersFanInGA]

I'm not shocked at all. The media has and always will bow on their knees to that guy. Overrated poo, just like always. Oh well.

Peterson got 77% of his teams carries. That is carrying the load. However, if you gave DeAngelo Williams 77% of our carries he likely would have put up more yards than Peterson. He already had way more TDs as it is.
