Williams owner?
No, actually I have Stewart in one league and Williams in none.Williams owner?
Seriously, why is this line ALWAYS used here. It makes ZERO SENSE.Which do you think happens?Option A: An owner acquires a player (like DeAngelo Williams) and THEN thinks he's a stud simply because he owns him. He was actually forced to buy him and didn't like him beforehand.orOption B: An owner acquires a player (like DeAngelo Williams) BECAUSE he likes him and thinks he's a stud.Why ask if he's a Williams owner if he says that? What's the difference? If you find 2 random people who believe DeAngelo was a stud and one was able to draft him and the other wasn't able to draft him, does the 2nd guy's opinion mean more simply because he doesn't own him even though they both felt the same way before their drafts?These statements are so annoying and make no sense whatsoever. In fact, I will pay a bit more attention to a person's opinion if he owns a player as he probably pays more attention to him than a non-owner. I currently own Josh Morgan in quite a few spots because I was very high on him. I've lost a lot of faith and think I now made a mistake. Do you think I'm incapable of making those kinds of changes in opinions simply because I own him?Williams owner?
If it's a dynasty league I can't blame the guy for not taking you up on that offer. In a redraft however, I think he is a fool. McGahee will vastly outproduce Stewart this year.
I would presume that he responded as such because jurb made a comment that sounds like fact when it is really based on presumption. Williams has clearly outperformed Stewart thus far statistically when they've been on the same team. Maybe he basing his assumptions on that. But I am not convinced he is clearly better than Stewart. I would guess that each's stats through their first 20 games of their careers would look similar with a slight nod to Stewart.

Williams was the #1 RB in my league last year and led the NFL in rushing TDs I believe. Why are you confused?Williams owner?
Only saw the Eagles game but I didn't see any lingering injury effects - thought he ran pretty well. They've been behind a lot, which isn't good for a RB on the short end of a timeshare. Whether or not that changes who knows but I think he'll be a good flex against bad teams.
Unless Delhomme throws 4 picks in the first half.
I don't know about VASTLY, but even if McGahee outproduces Stewart, that's not the only element at play here.If Rice goes down, McGahee will be a pretty good fantasy RB, but McClain will likely eat a bunch of his production still.If Williams goes down, Stewart becomes a stud.If neither goes down, both Stewart and McGahee are likely RB3 types going forward.Even if McGahee makes a better RB3 in the event of no injury, I'd still take Stewart.
I think you're fooling yourself if you think McGahee performs like a RB3 the rest of the way this year. I'm sure his production will decrease from the blistering pace he is currently on but he is currently a top 5 RB in every league I'm in. Sure, IF Williams and Rice go down I would say Stewart has more value. I'm not basing things on what if's though. I don't pretend I'm able to predict injuries. Oh, and here's the most important thing. McGahee doesn't need Rice to go down to be a pretty good fantasy RB. As I said, McGahee is currently performing as a VERY good RB right now with Rice already playing and healthy. He is in the top 5. Stewart is the one who needs an injury to perform well. Now if you don't believe McGahee can continue to perform as such I'm fin with that. I think he will still be at least a RB2 the rest of the year regardless of what Rice is doing. The accusation that McGahee needs a Rice injury to be worth while is simply false though.
In my League (td heavy) McGahee is a top 5 back now and will likely be a top 10 back. So that trade made no sense to me but I guess scoring system makes a difference. I am interested in Stewart who is sitting out on our waiver wire. I have not seen any Carolina Games and just don't understand how they were so good on the ground last year and are so bad this year.jurb26 said:
He wants more than McGahee? That is crazy! I was hoping to get Stewart for Willie Parker to the Mendenhall owner and Pitt fan. Maybe a no go?
How many games has Stewart missed because of injury?
He has never missed a regular season game as a Panther.
i'll add on. If you're talking THIS year, then fine, Stewart is a backup iIF Dwill doesnt go down. Potential alone, Stewart>>>>>Williams.
stewart does not have that much more potential than deangelo. cmon man.
yeah dude that's way too many greater than signs
delusional
Oh I guess I didn't get the memo that only pro injuries count, not that he hasn't been on the injury report for many pro games. I guess being hobbled for almost 2 years in college is not to considered as part of his injury history.Oh and since when does not missing the game mean you are healthy? If you are probable/questionable week after week that is not a good sign.
He meant much more potential to use a walker and leaver the league early.
Do you mean that Stewart is getting a slightly higher proportion of carries relative to his "outside the 20s" # of carries?Because if you believe that Stewart gets more carries than D Williams inside the 20, you are wrong.
I'd hardly say that an RB with two top 10 finishes and an RB13 finish in the last three years "had only one good year".
Just wanted to add that 4 of Stewart's 5 carries were in the first drive of their first game vs, Philly. He got four in a row inside the ten....got the first down....then after a penalty, Williams ran it in from the 11.
No, not really. The post I quoted made it sound like he expected Stewart to get more of the carries when they got close to the goal line. I've seen that belief before, that Stewart is the "goal-line" back, and it's not true. Whichever back is in the game, will get the touches when they are down there. I merely used this year's stats to show that Stewart doesn't get more red zone touches, but the split remains.
That is what I expect to continue to happen, barring injury.
