I think the comments by the staff about Cam....comments about keeping DWill....and exercising the option on Tolbert would support that he is likely to be more of a pocket passer to a logical person.

But, you are free to live in your little fantasy world where you think you know more.

I will hang out here in reality where the comments do support it and where I say we will have to wait and see which direction we go....rather than spout off bullshit and try and pass it off as facts.

I think too much is made in Gettlemen's comments....

Suddenly he is the offensive coordinator and DWill is the future again...

Pretty sure they are keeping Tolbert bc he is the best short yardage RB to keep that banging off Cam, best RB out if shotgun sets which Cam does often, and fits the running style Riveta prefers (and gets Williams demoted each year). Not sure how you equate Tolbert means Cam doesn't run....sure didn't mean that this past year.

My guesses are based on fact, history and games. Claiming Cam is going to become a pocket player is fantasy....just like those who claimed such last.

Please tell me where Ron or Shula implied the biggest mismatch runner in the NFL is done running...

You guys do realize that tolberts running style is more like Stewart's hard nose hit the hole bowling ball style. Before we got Tolbert, Stewart was the one getting the majority of the red zone Carries. Both the coach and GM have talked about the need of both the home run threat and power runner.

With Stewart not being able to stay healthy since being drafted, don't be surprised if he is traded on or before the draft.

the only thing keeping deangelo from being cut is probably that stew doesn't really possess the breakaway speed that rivera wants to have in the backfield. williams is the closest thing to a scat back that we've got. that said i think a minor weakness at the RB position isn't that hard to swallow when you've got cam newton as your quarterback and when that money can go towards shoring up the offensive line or defense.

i'll honestly be surprised if deangelo is on the roster come august.

I kinda disagree. I think Stewart is actually faster than Deangelo, he can't cut like him but he can break away for sure.

they may be close on straight line speed, but that rarely gets you places. you usually have to make a move or two first.

Well you would be wrong. Dwill is and has always been faster.

Stewart injuries have kept him from his top gear...playing at 80%. Coaches have said that repeatedly.

Williams' burst has been a little better....top end speed is about the same. Williams just has always reached his quicker...but that could ne running style sincr Stewart typically sheds contract before he sees open space. Stewart has showed his on rare occasions.

Well unless Stewart was also injured literally every time he was clocked during his time at Oregon then your argument is false. Williams is simply the faster back there is no debate.

He accelerates quicker...Williams top end speed and Stewart's are comparable.

And Stewart was hurt at Oregon...

One thing I don't get is why people are so high on cutting deangelo. I'm a fan of the game so the money he is getting paid doesn't affect me at all. He is still a great Rb.IMO this year we will lean heavily on our rbs. I would hope to see a more balanced attack without running our franchise QB more than our rbs.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Tetairoa McMillan.   The last 28 1st overall picks were either a QB, DE, or OT. Seeing as I don't think we'd take an OT in the 1st and give up on Ickey as an LT yet and there doesn't seem to be a clear overall #1 type of QB or DE pick this year, it very well could be a non conventional #1 overall this year, at least in regards from the last almost 3 decades of drafts. If we didn't have Horn, I'd be more open to Hunter as a CB at #1, but we have him so another CB wouldn't be how I'd use a #1 pick.  And as much as I love Legette, if we have SB contending aspirations, I don't think Legette is a #1 on a team like that, but he damn sure is an elite #2 on a team like that.  He's more of the Smith/Higgins/Waddle to Brown/Chase/Hill (in terms of role/impact, not style of play of course). T-Mac is going to be the top ranked WR on every team's board in the end.  He is going to be a true outside #1 WR who is viewed as a consensus Top 5 WR in the game by his second contract in the same way guys like Jefferson and Chase have done.  His height combined with his speed, athleticism, and hands are near impossible to find all in one player, there is a reason his generally used comp is Mike Evans (although as he's not as thick, I personally see him more as an AJ Green). Yes, as an Arizona alum I've admitted to having bias towards the player to begin with.  But he's also someone very widely being put into the Top 5 in mock drafts lately and most of them have him as the first non QB offensive player being taken, so it's not really THAT much of a homer pick on my part anyways. If a QB or DE truly separate themselves as being a can't miss prospect come draft day, I'm open to that discussion, but until then, or if it doesn't happen, T-Mac is my pick 100 times out of 100.
