Williams was also part of a franchise-record effort, as he ran for a career-high 186 yards and two touchdowns in a 38-23 win over Tampa Bay on “Monday Night Football.” Williams and rookie Jonathan Stewart combined to run for a franchise-best 299 yards against the league’s No. 2 ranked run defense.

...when I said the same thing 8 or so weeks ago. Funny that now, people...not everyone...just a few...are starting to say the same thing.

When I compared him to Adrian Peterson, everyone laughed and said he had not proven that yet.

...and to some degree, they were right. But after having seen DeAngelo play in college, I knew exactly what they didn't. That he is AT LEAST the best running back in the league.

....and....zero fumbles...

I never doubted him. The time/situation just wasn't right before. Now, everything is as it should be for his running game to work for him. Look at all the crazy records he broke in college. He just HAD to get bigger and get into rhythm. When you add another guy who can be successful on downs as well (not Foster) then you can rest your other guy between plays, thus they stay somewhat fresh through the game. But we all knew that already didn't we (referring to those starting RBs threads of yore)?

You got that right. Fox should have made him the starter in the middle of the '06 season when Foster started to struggle. But anyway, glad he is getting the work he deserve. :)

      Panthers sign Hunter Renfrow

      he averaged 2 yards in YAC per reception last year.  He can't generate quick separation.  He was debating retirement last year.    Yet we championing him as some great option.  AT is a savvy vet we force feed the ball too......on a team starved for basic offense the last couple seasons.  We overrated AT.  Which is why some freak when people like JT on his podcast point out the painfully obvious about him.

      The Athletic has us ranked 28th on their post-draft power rankings, mainly due to us picking T-Mc instead of defense in round 1. They recognize we needed WR help, but... https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6317651/2025/04/29/nfl-power-rankings-post-draft-rookies-eagles-chiefs-bills/

      I mean, he is a slot technician.  That's what he does.  So, in a good offense, you would be trotting him out there on 3rd downs and situationally.....to not take what they give him but to move chains.  It's a niche.  AT hasn't threatened defenses in years.  Last time we saw Renfrow on the field he averaged..... 6 yards YAC per catch.  Adam Thielen last year averaged....2 yards in YAC per catch last year.  I still contend in reality, AT isn't a slot WR.  Not in reality.  He is an aging rec TE.  And those aren't the same thing.  AT simply can't generate quick separation or provide YAC.
