Forbes calls out D-Will

[CRA]

Barry finished at 4.9 ypc. Sure there was a time where he was over 5 with around 2k carries, but the point is that it's a career statistic, not a snapshot statistic.

Pro football reference has Barry at 5.0 which is what I was using...

But if you do the math they rounded up it appears....he finished at 4.98 a carry, on 3000+. Which is still a more impressive feat. If it isn't than Jamaal Charles would have to be more impressive than Williams

That quoted statistic is for RB's with over 1000 career carries. Yes it's more impressive to maintain that kind of average over a long term. No one's debating that Barry is the more impressive runner. But to deny that it's impressive that Dwill is one of only two backs in history to have averaged over 5ypc with over 1k carries is stupid.

Never denied it was impressive...

Just don't think the current Williams is a top RB....and definately not in Chud's offense.

This is just more evidence that there is a serious disconnect between the vision of the coaching staff and the vision of the contract negotiator for the team (Hurney).

Jase is overpaid.

all the deangelo williams ypc blah blah blah talk is irrelvant.

jamaal charles is the ypc king and has been putting down the foundation to shatter the record books.

I love deangelo, he's a great dude, he's awesome to the fans, and he is one of my favorite Panthers.

Having said that, we paid waaaaaaaaaaay too much for him.

[CatMan72]

Did they also mention that he joined Jim Brown and Barry Sanders as the only RB's in the history of the league to average 5 yards per carry for a minimum of 1,000 carries?

[Panthro]

Omgz pay the man

He might be the most overrated Panthers player by fans since Will Witherspoon and Mike Minter

[TheGreatestOfAllTimeCam]

Forbes doesn't know football!

[broseidon]

Given his stats this year I can't argue

[Kurb]

In today's NFL you don't pay 2 running backs.

Hell most teams don't pay 1 running back, they just draft em and send them on their way.
