Career Rushing Stats, YPC Basis, DeAngelo Vs. Barry Sanders

[adallastiger]

Deangelo Williams

841 carries, 4,211 yards gained, average yards per carry is at 5.007

Barry Sanders

3,062 carries, 15,269 yards gained, average yards per carry is at 4.986

Just sayin.....

If he stays healthy, absolutely worth the money!

And people say that Emmitt or Walter, or Adrian or you name him are better.

Not a chance

All the stats, based on running alone, suggest otherwise. Always have, always will. Going to be a great year....

Okay, I understand that Barry had more carries each year, and one can always bring up the argument that "he is more rested, that is why he has stats like that". Other people are in a two back system, and they DON'T get stats like that. Again, there are reasons why....

Williams isn't gonna be a sanders, the thought of that is laughable.

[PhillyB]

he'll need five exceptional years to eclipse ten thousand... probably not gonna happen.

Cool story?

[D34Williams]

I'm the biggest deangelo fan on here. He's no Barry sanders. Sorry.

If Barry Sanders had our o-line, he would have had 20,000 yards.

per game

[ItsNotGonnaBeAlright]

Let's all imagine Williams playing for the '90s Lions.

Ew.....

[Gipetto]

If Dwill gets 800 yards and we still get a ring id be happy

[Hoenheim]

If Barry Sanders had our o-line, he would have had 20,000 yards.

per game

[SCP]

exactly

Are you old enough to actually have seen Barry Sanders run?? If you were, you would know that as good as Williams is, he is no Barry Sanders. Sanders got his yards on an awful Detroit team with a bad offensive line. Williams for the most part has had a much better line than Sanders ever had. Sanders often ran 30 yards to gain five or six whereas Williams often makes 3 yards before he runs into any defensive man.

Damn right! Already more yards per carry. *** sanders. Quiter!

[necroplasm]

Due to his elusive style and shitty Oline, Sanders had a lower average. Also playing a decade worth will bring your AVG down....
