DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart Best RB Duo in NFL?

Thunder&Lightning · 12-08-2008, 10:57 PM

Just finished watching the MNF game and I am officially convinced Deangelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart are the best RB duo in the NFL. DeAngelo Williams continues to impress making me think he is now one of the top RB's in the NFL while Stewart doesn’t look like a Rookie and can only get better. These two can only get better and better... which should start to scare defenses.

Adrian Peterson and Chester Taylor. Chester easily should be a starter on another team. But This might the Homer in me coming out.

No homer, They are ridiculous and run behind a dank run offense.

I got criticized a few weeks ago for saying that the Panthers were the team I did not want to face in the playoffs. I'm not sure why, but for some reason people forget EVERY year that winning in January is all about running the ball and stuffing the run. Panthers are going to be a scary team in the playoffs, more so than any opponent my team will have.

I would like to give some credit to that o-line opening those large roles and the Bucs' defense taking bad angles on their tackles. Those are my thoughts on why they had such a great game.

MetSox17 · 12-08-2008, 11:00 PM

No, i agree with AP and CT.

The Panthers have one scary running attack though. Williams was one of my favorite players coming out of Memphis a few years back, and i was disappointed that he hadn't amounted to anything his first two years. Might be the improved o-line, or Jake Delhomme, or maybe they're just that beastly, but that Carolina rushing attack sure is scary.

How's Jeff Otah doing, btw?

AD + CT is still the best.

Agreed, I would take AD alone over both the tandem of Williams and Stewart.

Exactly, everyone is on their nuts now. Bandwagoners..
Is Antonio Bryant gonna get noticed now because of his awesome catch and 200 yard game? Because he now has 4 100 yards games this year. Ask how many 100 yard games Colston has had, Boldin, Calvin, TO, Reggie Wayne... Bryant has more and only about half of you noticed.

As a Cowboys fan, I know who Bryant is and I can't say this shocks me. The kid has always had talent, but has always been a headcase. I hope he's finally grown up, because the he can play.

Minnesota and Jacksonville have better, but they're a strong candidate for third.

I disagree. Between Deangelo Williams and MJD, it's a wash. Fred Taylor is probably gonna hang them up after this season after a great career, but this year he's no way as good as he was last. I'll take Stewart any day over Taylor, for a game tomorrow.

tjsunstein · 12-08-2008, 11:12 PM

Seriously comparing each running back side to side? That's not what a duo is about. It's how they compliment each other.

By the way I thought we were going with teams that actually have two backs get more than 8 touches a game... if not then how is it a duo? You're simply taking the best back and naming his backup then getting your thoughtless answer.

That's the dumbest thing i've heard in a while. So if i had two Brandon Jacobses, that would compliment each other in no way whatsoever, but they both ran for a buck fifty a game, you would take a fast guy and a strong guy over them? That's ridiculous. I don't care if they run the exact same way, they both produce. Fred Taylor isn't producing. What the hell else are you gonna compare?

Um, I dont know how that counters my argument at all. I'm saying that Taylor does nothing to compliment Peterson and doesnt nearly touch the ball enough for that be considered a duo. It's just naming the best back with his backup, like I said. By the way, two Brandon Jacobs? What does that have to do with anything?
